This year has been all about the word pivot.  New plans, new ideas, change.  Grocery shopping, restaurants, and even how we visit with loved ones.

But […]

These high school sweethearts were married at Silver Shores in Wyandotte on a beautiful summer day.  Amy is an event planner and spent months planning for this particular day….and she knew what she wanted.  She wanted to marry the love of her life and make sure that all of their people had an incredible time.  […]

Grosse Ile Yacht Club Wedding   For the hundredth time (or at least what feels like the hundredth time), I want to tell you my absolute favorite moment of all time on every single wedding day.  It’s the image of the most elated couple who were just pronounced married (YESSSS!!!!!!) and coming back down the […]

The number of priceless moments that makes up a wedding day can’t be counted…and this is especially true for John and Laura.

Waldenwoods is a wedding venue dream + Justin and Emily’s wedding is a story that needed to have the perfect location.  Before you get to drooling over Justin and Emily’s gorgeous wedding day, you have to know their story.  Take a few minutes and read Emily’s account of their path here.  I promise it’s with the […]

Two love birds, the most delicately feminine colors, and lovely ceremony near the golf course made for Alyssa + Derek’s day to be perfect.

The entire Atlantic was between them. But finally this year, the ocean won’t keep them apart.
