Hailey + Michael’s Sweetest Heart of Mary Church Wedding

April 19, 2021

Hailey and Michael’s Sweetest Heart of Mary Church Wedding, is one of Detroit’s most iconic spots. From the start, Hailey made it clear: “Covid or not, we’re getting married.” And that’s exactly the energy the whole day carried—joyful and determined.

There were so many little details that made their wedding personal. Hailey wore her mom’s pearl necklace and a diamond bracelet from her dad. They exchanged gifts before the ceremony, and the donuts with Hailey’s new last name? Total crowd favorite.

Before everything kicked off, both Hailey and her dad told me they weren’t criers. Spoiler alert: that didn’t last long. Their first look had them both in tears, and by the time he walked her down the aisle, everyone could feel the emotion.

Through the cold, through the nerves, Hailey and Michael couldn’t stop smiling. Their first kiss felt like pure happiness. Even with freezing temps, they soaked in every single moment together. That’s just who they are—kind, grounded, and totally in it for each other.
