TAYLOR + DONNIE A summer wedding in downtown Midland, MI

    Taylor and Donnie were married on a beautiful June afternoon.  They pledged their vows at the Christian Celebration Center in Midland, in front of their closest friends and family.  Taylor and Donnie wrote their own vows - being witness to that was the most special part of the day for me!  They were able to put into words so eloquently what it meant to have found forever love - and what it means to be able to spend the rest of their days -together as a family. 

    After the ceremony, we had so much fun taking portraits around the downtown area where the reception venue (H-Hotel) was located.  The bride, groom and wedding party were such troopers to endure the heat that we had that day! Extreme heat and humidity is hard enough, but wearing long gowns and tuxes makes it pretty tough!  Despite all of that, Taylor looked magazine ready all day- and was stunning from head to toe:)  The guys looked so sharp in their classic black tuxes and bow ties - my all time favorite! Rose gold accents were sprinkled through out the wedding decor - but really came to life in the gorgeous gowns the bridesmaids were wearing!  Every detail of the day, from start to finish, was planned to perfection:) It was such an honor to spend the day with such a great group of people!!

    I wish Taylor, Donnie, Brody, Ava and little Maxwell a life time of love and happiness!!

Enjoy just a few highlights from their spectacular day!
