Nazareth Hall, Grand Rapids, Ohio Garden Party Inspired Wedding

What an HONOR it was to photograph my best friend's wedding. To know Claire is to know friendship and it's been an honor to watch her pull together the vision she dreamed for the big day. The bridesmaids were adorned in spring hues while the groomsmen wore blue, the two creating the perfect visual harmony. Claire’s hair and makeup pulled inspiration from Pamela Anderson’s famous updo and the florals from The Flower Mercantile included the most outstanding arrangement of daisies, peonies, roses, and more. It’s obvious that this was simply not a wedding for those that want to shy away from the big and bold. Claire and Jake embraced it with open arms. To add to an already incredible day, we could not have asked for better weather. Mother May sure gave us her best with a comfortable 75 degrees, sunny, and a slight breeze.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Claire + Jake, for letting me be a part of this celebration. And thank you to an incredible team of vendors that made this possible!
