Heather + Austin / Embassy Suites Wedding

I remember about two years ago when I first met Heather & Austin during their engagement session. Their love was deep, pure and full of fun. Heather and I became pregnant around the same time last year so their wedding was pushed back a little so they could welcome their adorable son into the world. Fast forward to their wedding day with a little one and their love is JUST as amazing, if not even stronger as it was the day I met them. Can I also add how much my heart melted when Austin broke into tears watching his son and his new wife come down the aisle? (Sorry Austin!)

Beautiful wedding, beautiful family and beautiful love <3 What more could you ask for?! Congrats you two, thanks for letting me be part of your perfect day!

jennie + ryan / mackinaw valley vineyard wedding

What could be better than a wedding at a beautiful winery? A wedding between two people COMPLETELY in love at a winery <3 I’ve watched these two grow in their relationship over the past several years and am so humbled by the love and respect they share for each other. Even with the threat of rain on their wedding day and a damper in honeymoon plans, Jennie relished in every moment and stayed the positive bubbly bride I always knew she would be. With God’s plan for the perfect day for this couple the clouds rolled away and the sun shone on their beautiful ceremony.  All the touching moments between these two and their loving families have me googley eyed over here…. these moments are what its alllllll about. Congrats you two, I know your love will only grow stronger throughout the years <3
