Karen + Audrey

Karen and Audrey are such a genuine, caring couple. I got a little teary-eyed the first time I met them. They have been together for sooo long and have an awesome son! They finally got to tie the knot in July and their wedding was beautiful!

Picture
The ceremony was planned to be outside but the rain was coming down hard with no end in sight. So we brough it inside the barn at Cobblestone Farm. Luckily Karen and Audrey had some burlap and we had extra flowers to create a ceremony space. It was a little tight, but we made it work. Luckily they were able to get some outdoor pictures at one point.
Picture
Karen and Audrey's son Tyler and their niece sang a beautiful song at the ceremony.
Picture
Karen and Audrey were so creative with all of their signs and decor. I love of all of the details......
Picture
At one point the power went out during the reception. Karen and Audrey were such good sports about every hiccup we overcame. Katie and Krista did a fantastic job coordinating this wedding!

This is one of our weddings from our triple wedding day in July! Caitlin and I were a part of this super fun wedding. Lauren and Tyler are such a lovely couple! Their ceremony was at the Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak.
Picture
I love the alternative to a first look that Lauren and Tyler did!
Picture
Lauren and Tyler had their reception at the Rust Belt Market in Ferndale. It is such a cool venue! On the weekends the Rust Belt Market is a market place filled with little shops filled with art, vintage items, and tons of hand-made Michigan stuff. Guests walked around checking out the shops during cocktail hour. After the shops closed down, the reception began.

Maria and Derek are such a fun, sweet couple! I loved being a part of their wedding at the Madison building downtown.
Picture
Maria and Derek said their vows on the 5th floor. I love the urban feel of the space!

Following the ceremony, the reception took place on the roof top. The weather was perfect, the band was great, and the food was yummy!

Michelle and Ryan are the sweetest! I love the way they look at each other! Nothing could've bothered them on this day.
Picture
You might remember a post I made back in August about a bucket list wedding. This is it, Kirk in the Hills! The first time my mom brought me there to see, I fell in love with it! It is so beautiful! So this wedding was really special to me. I couldn't hide my excitement the first time I talked to Michelle on the phone when she told me where she was getting married. I love that Eugen from Sublime Moments brought along a drone to photograph this amazing view!
Picture
Check out their first look inside Kirk in the Hills.....
Picture
The reception took place at the Royal Park Hotel. It was intimate and beautiful.
Picture
Michelle and Ryan did not choose to have a bridal party, which I thought was great and special. They did have an awesome flower girl though! And she took the spotlight more than once with her moves!

I am way behind on posting this but it is too beautiful to not share! Katie and Adam's wedding was one of the most detail oriented wedding I have ever done. I LOVE every bit of it! Can you imagine getting married under this beauty??? Donna and Larry's Flower shop created this!

Check out all of these details! I love that the whole property is yours at the Lazy J Ranch. The ceremony took place outside facing a field. Cocktail hour was in the older barn and outside. Guests could enjoy a game of bean bags or cozy up with a blanket.

Dinner and dessert was in the newer barn.

Everyone danced the night away in the old barn, enjoyed cider and donuts, and sent Katie and Adam with a sparkler exit!

Meet Margaret and Ryan! I could not possibly ask for a better bride and groom to work with. They live in North Carolina and planned their wedding in Michigan, where most of their family live. They are so laid back and appreciative.
Picture
Not the mention....Stunning!

The ceremony and reception took place in Ryan's parents yard. The yard is absolutely beautiful with all of the landscaping and pond.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Guests were greeted with coozies for their beer or bottled water and a beautiful program. Signs, pumpkins, and mums were all around the yard.
Picture
The ceremony was picture perfect in front of the pond.

I teared up when I saw this.......

Following the ceremony guests enjoyed cocktail hour around the grounds and played some lawn games. The reception took place inside a beautifully decorated tent.
