Kelly + Mike’s Summer Wedding to Remember at the Dearborn Inn

October 9, 2017

Kelly and Mike’s wedding day was the perfect mix of sentiment, charm, and celebration. On a golden July morning, we began documenting their day at Kelly’s home, where every detail was thoughtfully arranged—from her delicate accessories to the quiet excitement in the air. Before heading to the ceremony, the couple exchanged handwritten notes, full of love and anticipation, setting the tone for a deeply meaningful day.

Their ceremony took place in a church that holds special significance for them, adding emotional depth to every moment. The warm summer air embraced them as they made their way to the reception, and the Dearborn Inn’s lush grounds and classic ambiance provided the ideal backdrop for portraits. Kelly was radiant, and the connection between her and Mike was evident in every glance.

Among the standout details was a bracelet engraved with her parents’ wedding invitation—a touching nod to family legacy. Their reactions as they saw each other at the altar were nothing short of joyful, and every part of the day reflected their thoughtful planning. One of the evening’s highlights? A spontaneous spin around the dance floor to some energetic polka, which had everyone cheering.

From beginning to end, their wedding was a beautiful reflection of who they are—genuine, joyful, and full of love.
