A winter wedding at Orchard Lake Country Club is always special, but Paige and Dan’s day was truly unforgettable. December in Michigan doesn’t always bring sunshine, but this day was filled with golden light from morning to evening, creating the perfect backdrop for their celebration.
The morning was relaxed and full of joy. Some of the best moments happened before the ceremony—Paige sharing laughs with her bridesmaids, getting ready with friends, and the emotional moment when her dad saw her in her dress for the first time. It was a beautiful, candid memory that no one will forget.
Before the ceremony, Paige and Dan took a quiet moment together to pray. It was a meaningful way to start their wedding, followed by a heartfelt ceremony led by Father Patrick Gonyeau. Every detail reflected their deep love and strong family bonds.
As the sun set, we captured a few portraits outside before heading to Orchard Lake Country Club for the reception. The celebration started in the best way—guests enjoyed appetizers while dancing to live music. The energy in the room was incredible, with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and a packed dance floor all night long. One of the best surprises of the evening? Paige arranged for the Polynesian Dancers of Michigan to perform, and soon, everyone was learning new moves—probably dreaming of a trip to Hawaii!
Congratulations, Dan and Paige! Your Orchard Lake Country Club wedding was absolutely perfect, and it was an honor to capture every special moment. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness!
