Ciara + Parker // Wedding

Ciara and parker were married in Grand Rapids at a gorgeous ballroom downtown. The girls suite was so cute with little vintage mirrors and a separate suite just for the bride to get ready and they had mimosas while touching up their makeup between laughs. Ciara's dress looked like a work of art while her girls wore stunning gold sequin gowns. She gifted her bridesmaids beautiful necklaces and earrings to wear for the day, too! The guys got ready at a nearby hotel, Parker gifted his guys some mini shot bottles with monogrammed moscow mules and they hit up a few bars and played some arcade games before the "I do's". They had an intimate ceremony in the main ballroom with several gorgeous chandeliers where they shared a shot before making things official! We took a minute after the ceremony to go grab a drink at a rooftop bar, then arrived to their reception. They had THE best DJ that even had me dancing in between snapping photos! These two are so chill and have a way of making everyone around them feel comfortable. Everything was so elegant and classy and I loved the old world vibe grand rapids bars and architecture seem to give everything. I enjoyed all the laughs with these two and their closest friends and wish them only the best things in their future together!

Ashleigh + Tyler // Wedding





Ashleigh and Tyler were married in a beautiful Michigan park on a perfect sunny June day. I showed up to the girls hanging out in their colorful, floral silk robes while watching fixer upper and getting ready and Tyler gave his guys the coolest captain america cuff links as a gift as they got ready at their friends house. I couldn't help but tear up when ashleighs girls prayed over her for her future marriage just before the ceremony! Their ceremony was under a gorgeous gazebo and they painted an "R" together to symbolize coming together which will be so cute to hang on their wall! Their neverland theme at the reception was so beautifully executed with magical lights everywhere, peter pan book centerpieces, lanters, feathers and custom "Captain Rusco" rum bottles..they were such a cool personal touch! Their cake was such a work of art with a hand painted ship that was topped with a sweet "the adventure begins" wooden sign - it was almost too pretty to eat! These two are so sweet, down to earth and kept me laughing all day long to the point of tears haha! It was an honor to share in such a beautiful day with these two!
