justin and michele :: wedding

This past Friday, I had the honor of witnessing two great people, Justin and Michele, tie the knot! Together with family, friends, (and even some of Justin's fellow Marines!), they happily became husband and wife. It was so much fun working with you all! Even with the horrible, cold, sometimes rainy, weather we had that evening in downtown Grand Rapids, you guys all still managed to be great sports and smile through it! Thank you so much for reminding me why I love my job!!

The colors for their wedding were cobalt blue and turquoise-look at these fabulous shoes michele found that matched the scheme perfectly!!


The whole event (ceremony and reception) was held at WMU Conference Center in downtown Grand Rapids.




LOVED her hairpiece!


















Witnessing of the marriage...




The vows...




The sand ceremony...




After the ceremony, we had some time to drive around Grand Rapids (trying to brave the cold and beat the rain), to capture some pics at some fun locations!






























There is a new bar in town called Stella's Lounge. It is a vintage arcade bar and diner. So fun!!










After Stella's, we were all ready to head back to WMU for the dinner and reception!


Really loving the candy buffet idea...






And the day would not be complete without Justin and Michele's first dance as husband and wife!


Congratulations and thank you so much for sharing your day!
