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.

When we have the opportunity to travel to plan a wedding in downtown Chicago, we map out all the best coffee spots and pack our bags. Sam and Kevin’s intimate wedding at Osteria Via Stato in the heart of downtown Chicago gave us that big city feel in a small family setting.

Kaitlind and Nick’s floral lined aisle was a gorgeous entrance into their wedding at Black River Barn in South Haven Michigan. Ending the night with dancing on the patio in front of their giant marquee sign.

I love when brides decide to go bold and Kelcey went bright and BOLD. The way all the colors popped in in the photos from Mitten Tog, obsessed is an understatement!

Rachel and Jean had such an elegant wedding at the Bissell Tree House at the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids Michigan. Guests were overlooking the treetops during cocktail hour, enjoying a surprise peek at the red pandas below.

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.

We love a northern Michigan wedding on the water, especially if it’s a wedding at the Charlevoix Yacht Club. Holly and Tristan had their first look just steps from the water of Lake Michigan before their ceremony overlooking the marina.

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!?

If there’s one trend that comes out of planning during these unique years, I hope it’s having your wedding on a Tuesday. I also loved Amy’s mirror moment framed with flowers by Linnae Floral.

Michigan really stepped up and showed its beautiful fall colors AND gave us the warmest weather for a wedding in October. Having a fall Michigan wedding at Port393 allows you to capture everything from the changing seasons to the shores.

We love a Grand Rapids Downtown Market wedding. Located in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, this unique wedding venue gives you a greenhouse and nature atmosphere, with all the comforts of being surrounded by an urban city.

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.

This wedding holds such a special place in my heart. I think of Alex (and now Regan) as a part of our family. We all grew up together and our mom’s were inseparable, even to this day. It was such an amazing experience to be a part of, and help plan this most special wedding.

Chic. Crisp. Clean. Those would be the descriptive words to showcase Erica and John’s wedding. Don’t believe us…just look at the photos from their big day at New Vintage Place.

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.

If you combine the sincerest couple and the cutest venue, you’d have Faye + Greg. This was a garden party we would attend over and over again! Sundance Studios is such a hidden gem in Benton Harbor, MI. This idyllic venue provides so much for all of their couples from the amazing chandelier indoors, quaint bridal suites, and to the STUNNING backyard garden there’s not much you have to bring in.
