James + Rebecca’s Fall Village Club Wedding

September 3, 2025

Rebecca’s wedding morning at The Village Club set the tone for the whole day—easy laughter, sweet family traditions, and the kind of chaos that only comes when there are lots of little kids running around. Her sisters spoiled her with thoughtful gifts, and Rebecca turned right around and made her parents tear up with tokens of appreciation before heading to the church.

The ceremony took place at Sweetest Heart of Mary in Detroit, one of the city’s most stunning historic churches. And honestly? James and Rebecca are so expressive that photographing them was a dream. Every smile, every laugh, every little glance between them—pure gold.

Afterward, we headed back to The Village Club for portraits in the garden. The fall light, the colors, and the quiet in-between moments made it the perfect backdrop. But the real jaw-dropper? The florals. Rebecca is a Viviano, so you already know Viviano delivered something epic. The flowers weren’t just décor—they matched Rebecca and James’ bright, vivid personalities and brought the whole celebration to life.

And then came the party. The dance floor was never empty. Guests weren’t shy, the music was on point, and James and Rebecca fully leaned into celebrating with their people. It was the best kind of chaos—the kind you never want to end.
