katie and john :: married {7.30.11}

Meet Katie and John. They were married July 30th and were one of the happiest couples I have seen. I went to school with Katie-she was always so happy, smiling and friendly with everyone-her wedding day was no different!

She and John now live in Florida and came back to Grand Rapids to celebrate with a beach themed wedding. Everything was perfect on that hot, sunny day and I could not be happier for the two of you! Thank you so much for asking me to share in your special day with you. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness!

First, the dress. I am in love with this dress. More specifically, the back on it. SO beautiful and elegant!
































The church was breathtaking.

One of the groomsman was a bit rough on his shoe, apparently. :)




























I could not resist posting this...:)
























Could not decide on one dancing photo because Katie and John had such a beautiful first dance...
