I am so delighted to bring you all the beauty that was Amber and Tyler’s Grand Rapids wedding!

It was a hot day and there was a buzz of excitement at St. Paul the Apostle  as Amber sat directly on the other side of the wall from Tyler and his groomsmen. It was calm and relaxed, and I love a relaxed wedding day with perfect planning.

This is Amber’s mother’s bracelet and she wore her grandmas wedding ring on her right hand.

Amber and Tyler chose to do a first look inside the church to stay out of the heat. I loved the look of excitement in their eyes, they were all giddy over each other. Love!

Amber’s styling was classic and simple. She reminded me of a movie star from the 40’s.

The toasts may have been the funniest I’ve heard in a long time. Guests were laughing till they cried.

Outrageous speeches and parents!
