Townsend Park Wedding

Townsend Park, Cannonsburg MI

Congratulations Anil and Christina! This was such a beautiful, intimate celebration of this couple’s story. They met on OKCupid, when Anil sent her a very nerdy message detailed with facts on dead languages. Their first date was four years ago at MadCap, in downtown Grand Rapids. Anil proposed last summer during a camping trip to Yellowstone, on a gorgeous hike overlooking the canyon.

These two are so laid-back, full of love and laughter. And there was lots of laughter on the big day.

Thank you so much for choosing me to document your story. Here is a little preview:

Congratulations Chelsea and Andrew!! What a gorgeous celebration by the river! What a venue too! This place is amazing--- and it's all together in one spot!

Clesea and Andrew met while working together at Old Burdicks in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Both were attending Western Michigan University.  After a while apart from each other, they became friends, and their first concert was Coheed and Cambria at Pierre’s in Fort Wayne.  Their first dance is actually to one of their songs. In 2015, the couple moved to Austin, Texas and have recently relocated again to Stillwater, OK.

They were engaged at the Cliffs of Mohr, in Ireland, on May 2, 2016, during the middle of a two week European adventure. Due to its location, the weather at the Cliffs is normally very cold, rainy, and windy, but on that day , the sun was shining. However, it started pouring about 15 minutes after the proposal. It was perfect.

This day was absolutely gorgeous! A special thank you to Elyse, the wonderful wedding planner from Posh Petals! http://lookatthebiggerpicture.com/blog/posh-petals-grand-rapids
