I love so so many things about JoAnne and Joe’s wedding… like THEM for starters! You might remember them from their super-romantic engagement session – they have such a sweet loving closeness. It’s beautiful to see :) Now take this amazing couple and drop them into an amazing wedding! Gorgeous church, perfect colors (sage and eggplant – hello!), beautiful gown, shoes, details, and a superfun bridal party, friends and family tooling around the city in a GR Trolley. It was an awesome day, I loved being part of this! We started at the beautiful St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Grand Rapids, where the girls were getting ready…

Beautiful bouquets by Shelly’s Designs Florist, with JoAnne’s grandmother’s Saint Teresa pinned on.

So, I’m pretty much in love with this church. It’s absolutely breathtaking ~





Right after the ceremony, we headed over to 7-11 for slurpees – couldn’t resist, they got married on 7-11!












The trolley was a blast, we went all over town!












The significant others’ of the bridal party were so fabulous, I had to get them in on the action too!


One of my favorite things about the reception? Security Guards! They had their own cards, badges, handcuffs and everything. Love it!

The reception was beautifully decorated in sweet, simple, organic details. So perfect!




Congratulations again, JoAnne and Joe! My very best wishes for a long and happy future! :)Kristen
