This was, hands down, one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been a part of! After their gorgeous rehearsal dinner and welcome party, it was finally wedding day! All three events also include photos that I feel the proudest of, truly this was a labor of love by all the vendors involved and I was so honored to be a part of it! Lauren and John are 100% perfect for each other which I knew from the moment I met them at their Dallas, Texas ranch engagement session. Lauren was also the most composed bride I think I am have ever had, and these two really truly enjoyed their day from start to finish and it showed in their images. As usual I have picked way too many to share, but this Northport Point wedding was just too full of amazing moments. Enjoy scrolling through!

Yesterday I shared Lauren and John's rehearsal dinner and today I am back sharing their welcome dinner! Welcome parties and dinners have gained popularity this year and it is such a treat to be able to welcome out of town guests (most of Lauren and John's had flown in for their nuptials!) to experience the place a couple loves so much. In Michigan, we believe summertime is unrivaled almost anywhere else and this couple's guests got a taste of it with s'mores, a perfect sunset, live music, a roasting pig, gelato cart, signature cocktails, lawn games and more. As if that wasn't perfect enough, every little detail was beyond beautiful... here are some favorites! And stay tuned because I will be sharing their stunning wedding soon!
