Alissa + Jackson { married! }

8-8-08
Sutton’s Bay, Michigan

Alissa and Jackson were married last weekend, on one of the most popular wedding dates of the year: 8-8-8. Eight is considered a lucky number for many reasons, but I found this one particularly fitting:

The number 8 is considered lucky because it is a perfect symmetrical shape. You can cut the number 8 in half vertically or horizontally, and both halves mirror themselves perfectly. Perfect symmetry lends itself to perfect balance.

Alissa and Jackson seem to have found perfect balance in each other. They are such a fun, laid-back, friendly, and just all-around good couple. It was a pleasure to be part of their wedding along the shoreline of Grand Traverse Bay. I drove up from Grand Rapids, but they came all the way across the country – they are currently living out on the East Coast. They couldn’t have asked for nicer Michigan weather – it was a beautiful sunny, breezy, perfect day, just like this couple.
