You know how some places just feel right? For Mike and Jill, that’s Midland. So, celebrating their wedding at The H Hotel was the perfect fit. You won’t have to scroll far to see it: these two absolutely adore each other, and they laugh a lot. Their joy was completely contagious, and my camera loved every single second of it.
The morning began with a happy buzz as everyone got ready at The H Hotel. Mike and Jill are lucky to have so many wonderful friends and family, and the whole wedding party just enjoyed being together. (A few of the guys even kicked things off with some celebratory beers!) And the father of the bride? His reaction to seeing Jill in her wedding dress for the first time was truly priceless.
Then, we headed to Bay City for the ceremony at the Scottish Rite. Mike and Jill moved effortlessly between happy tears and pure laughter throughout their vows. I just couldn’t put my camera down – I didn’t want to miss a single one of those amazing belly laughs. (And trust me, those laughs kept going strong all through the reception!) To top it off, soft snow flurries began to fall, adding a beautiful, almost magical touch to their winter day. And the ultimate surprise? Santa himself even dropped by to sneak into a few photos!
It was such a joy to be there and capture Mike and Jill’s day. They made memories that will definitely be talked about for years to come. What a beautiful, joyful way to start a marriage. Congratulations, you two!
