cassandra + bruce / mackinaw valley winery wedding

There was so much to love bout Cassandra and Bruce’s day. Theres just something about the way Bruce looked at Cassandra all day, clearly blown away that she was becoming his wife. And the way he made her smile from ear to ear all day long. So many memories their family members made throughout their day from a choreographed dance by her bridesmaids to a mashup first dance with the father of the bride. I love when weddings have special features that set them apart from any other. By far my favorite moment of the day was the intimate prayer with both the bride and groom’s parents on the alter during their ceremony. Its clear these two are the perfect pair and their day was equally as perfect!

holly + haley / pere marquette october wedding

We’ve all heard that piece of marriage advice, marry your best friend. These two did just that. Ever since high school Haley and Holly have been the most adorable couple and their day FINALLY came to make it officially official. I love nothing more that the genuine laughs between them that I witnessed time after time throughout the day. These laughs will get them through anything and without a doubt see this marriage through to 100+ years of bliss <3 Congrats Dr. & Mrs. Hoover!
