What do Yosemite and Grand Rapids have in common when it comes to weddings? In this case, having a wedding celebration in both! Carly and Matt took their Yosemite National Park Wedding and perfectly transferred it into their reception on the third coast.

We loved the old Hollywood glam vibes that Whitney and Christian brought to their wedding at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. After arriving in a classic car they entered through the lavishly covered stair case, and danced into the night to dueling pianos.

Danielle’s green wedding suit may have been my favorite suit of the year. With the high colored floral shirt next to Loni’s sleek white jumpsuit, this couple delivered the looks for their wedding at the Downtown Market in Grand Rapids.

Michelle and Drew’s lavish and moody wedding at The Rutledge was complete with long sheer gloves, gold table lamps, and elegance that touched every corner of the room.

Downtown Grand Rapids has so much to offer for all our couples. There’s so much history on every corner. We love that venues take a chance on old factories, libraries, and even churches and turn them into gorgeous venues.

Every part of Marisa and Max’s wedding at The Rutledge was picture perfect. We loved how they were able to visit all the different stops on the “Grand Rapids Tour” from Aquinas to the Canopy Hotel.

When you live in Michigan, you never know what kind of weather you’ll get - no matter the season. This wedding, while you may not know it from the amazing pictures captured by Katie Grace Photography, was actually supposed to be a backyard wedding at a private estate. We completely changed venues just three days before the wedding, THREE!! - go ahead and pick up your jaws from the floor!! HOW CRAZY IS THAT!?

What fun way to lead these two from their wedding at The Rutledge in downtown Grand Rapids to their cocktail hour at Peppino’s. My favorite type of wedding is one where both partners are involved in the planning, and Nichole and Michael were an absolute joy to work with.

If you need a lesson on how to incorporate color into your wedding, look no further. Between Elizabeth’s perfectly coordinated bridesmaid’s dresses to the absolutely stunning vibrance of Joy and Bloom’s florals, you don’t need a better education than that.

From their grand entrance to their amazingly decorated cake from Nantucket Bakery, everything about Jenny and David’s day was amped up! And their choreographed first dance really set the mood for the rest of the night. We felt like we were at the coolest night club in all of Grand Rapids.

The amazing thing when you book your wedding at Studio D2D is working with their in-house florist. This is such an amazing amenity – Emily and Cassie take your vision to combine it with their knowledge of the space and elevate it to be such a beautiful atmosphere.

The Amway never disappoints when providing a timeless and classic atmosphere for any Grand Rapids Wedding. For Christina and Kevin, the amenities allowed them to add many extra special events to the timeline of their day, all with the ease of being in one place.

The sweetest exchanging of vows took place in the greenhouse at Downtown Market. It’s never easy to read something so personal in front of others, but with the help of few tissues and some words of encouragement, it was a beautiful thing to witness.

Downtown Market, even on a gloomy April day provided such a beautiful canvas. When the sun finally peaked through and started to set, all the little details shined through!

We love the chandeliers in the Ballroom at McKay, and the ability they have to change the mood, tone and color. Everything was set perfectly for each aspect of the day. We finished off the night with a sparkler send off to the Kait and Tom’s horse-drawn carriage. An ending fit for royalty!

It’s one thing to plan weddings for someone whom I just met or for a familiar face: it’s another thing when it’s your sister. This tested me in more ways than one, both personally and professionally - in the end, I wouldn’t change a thing!

We absolutely love showcasing the Conservatory at Downtown Market. Jessica and Walker’s intimate ceremony was the first time Downtown Market set up on a circular setting. It was the perfect setup providing the best views of not only the couple but highlighting the amazing greenery surrounding them. It was like our own slice of paradise in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Lots of couples take photos on this iconic bridge, but few have had their literal wedding on the Blue Bridge in Grand Rapids. Lauren and Felix hit all the historic spots in downtown from the Blue Bridge, Amway Grand Plaza, the Civic Auditorium and the Grand Rapids Art Museum.
