Frederik Meijer Gardens - Shanna and Chris

GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN

What a beautiful wedding! Congratulations to Shanna and Chris! Such an amazing day, with the colorful gardens, waterfalls, and lovely people to share the celebration.

These two met at karaoke night at Kale’s, when Chris was hosting. He kept asking Shanna out and she kept blowing him off, until the day she didn’t… He proposed on their third anniversary. It was a complete surprise when he got down on one knee, while they were cooking tacos at home in sweatpants.

They’ve been together for four years. Lots of karaoke nights, Griffins Hockey games, camping, and chillin’ at home with Finn, their pup.

The first time they hung out outside of Kale’s was at Frederik Meijer Gardens, which made it the perfect venue for them to tie the knot.

I am so so happy for you both. Thank you so much for choosing me to document your story. Enjoy this preview of the big day:

Backyard 70's Themed Wedding- Amy and Steve

Cedar Springs, MI

Congratulations Amy and Steve! This fun and very colorful couple had a 70’s themed wedding right in the comfort of their backyard. The big day was actually their 4yr anniversary.

Amy and Steve were set up by an internet friend, and pushed to be together by her kiddos. They went to Beltline Bar for wet burritos and drinks. Since that first date, each proposed to each other at different times. They both love to read, watch TV, play games, and they love color and unusual things.

The ceremony was funny and light, with comedic devotions and vows. Promises to love each other even when the cat litter box pushes the point of health code, even when they use each other’s dentures… It had the guests laughing through it all.

Thank you, Amy and Steve, for choosing me to document your story. Enjoy the preview:
