Windmill Island Gardens Wedding // Marla + Carlos
Their family is very important to both Marla and Carlos. They got married during the lockdown in a small ceremony yet still dreamed of sharing their day with everyone they cared dearly about. Fast forward to 2022, on a beautiful summer day in Holland, MI, Marla and Carlos are getting ready in their private suites on Windmill Island with their groomsmen and bridesmaids.
The guests take their seats in the garden as the ceremony begins, surrounded by lush green leaves and vibrant flowers. Carlos stands in the shade of the pavilion and excitingly watches his bride walk down the aisle, escorted by her father. Marla and Carlos shared their vows and are pronounced in front of all their family and friends to be husband and wife!
During cocktail hour the guests eagerly line up to be photographed with two. The reception sits under a lovely tent overlooking the river and the windmill. The setting sun casts a golden glow while Marla and Carlos have their first dance to the cheers of their family and friends.
Congrats you two!

Dreamy Beach Wedding @ Boyne Mountain // Cayden + Ben
Cayden and Ben's wedding was an event 8 years in the making!
They met at Michigan State and have been planning this day for quite some time. They journeyed to Boyne Mountain for their wedding day, getting ready at an Airbnb. Afterward, Cayden and Ben had their first look behind the house and happily embraced.
As we made the short drive to Deer Lake they praised what a gorgeous day they had. With chairs facing the lake, and a cool lake breeze adding relief from the summer heat, it truly was an elegant event on the Beach House Lawn. Ben teared up as Cayden walked down the aisle with her father. The way they looked at each other made it clear that they were both madly in love.
The reception was held in the tent nearby, where toasts were given and dinner was enjoyed. Shortly after their first dance golden hour came. We took Ben and Cayden back to the lake for a magical portrait session on the docks. Cayden's bridesmaids joined in wanting to dip their toes in the lake and cool off. They had fun splashing around!
The rest of the night, the party guests lit up the tent with glow sticks and danced, celebrating the new marriage of Cayden and Ben.
Congrats you two!

Christ-Centered Wedding // Leona Road, GR // Kiley + Brennan
Kiley and Brennan had their exciting wedding on May 1st at the lovely venue Leona Road in Grand Rapids! I knew I was in for a fun day when I saw that all the groomsmen grew out a mustache for the occasion. Kiley and Brennan were unable to hold back their excitement during their first look. It was adorable when they finally embraced in each other's arms. They are such a sweet couple!
The bridal party was massive, so we needed a lot of space for pictures. We took them to John Ball Zoo and we were lucky with the time of the season. We had a soft overcast and the trees were in bloom. Christ was the center of their marriage with a time of worship during the ceremony. Their vows to each other were touching and heartfelt. Following the declaration of marriage, the groomsmen swarmed around Brennan in congratulations, as the crowd cheered. The rest of the night was a joyous celebration!
Congrats Brennan and Kiley on your future adventures!

Baker Lofts, Holland // Abbie + Marquise
Such an exciting day! Their wedding was beautiful, emotional, and super fun! Congrats Abbie and Marquise! Before the ceremony, they did a first touch around a corner. Barely able to hold back tears, they exchanged letters. And when they finally saw each as Abbie walked down the aisle, it was so exciting to see the emotion on both their faces. Afterward, we took the bridal party over to a nearby park in heart of Holland where they all proceeded to goof off, laugh, and enjoy their special day! They all had so much fun! The reception was wild fun, too, with a surprise guest appearance to top the night off. Abbie and Marquise's family and friends offered a lot of advice for the newlyweds. Cheers!

Hannah + Matt Engagement Film
They're silly, in love, and absolutely adorable! One of their favorite things to do together is to hike, so we took a walk through a white pine forest in Grand Rapids, breathing in that fresh Spring air. Filming Matt and Hannah's engagement film was full of laughs and playful energy. Looking forward to their wedding later this year!
