In a weekend of temperamental weather, no one knew if the morning clouds would turn dark or scatter, and sure enough. the sky cleared, and the day warmed right up! What started out overcast turned out to be a gorgeous day in June for Abby & Darren's wedding!
Accented by some of the most beautiful floral arrangements I've seen in a long time (thanks to Gail Vander Laan) the ceremony was held at the Chapel at Hawk Hollow and followed by a reception across the street at the Eagle Eye Banquet Center.
A large bridal party of family and close friends beautifully filled the front of the chapel as Darren's face brightened when he saw his bride walk arm-in-arm with her father up the aisle.
Following the ceremony, we followed the photo shoot from Hawk Hollow down to the campus of Michigan State University where they posed near some great local icons and landmarks, and then swiftly made it back to the banquet center in time for a grand entrance and some truly moving toasts from the Best Man and Matron of Honor, (Darren's brother & Abby's sister).
Shooting alongside the talented Holli and her associate Joe from Holli Ann Studios was a pleasure! They did a great job working with this bridal party, and we can't wait to see the results! On top of that, we met one of my new favorite DJ's, the incredible Rodney Lamar Page who was a sight to see behind the booth! From skillfully mixing, to occasionally supplementing the music with his amazing violin skills, he kept the party going late into the evening!
Thanks again Abby & Darren for letting us be a part of your amazing day!
