Wedding season for this crew has been in full force…with 16 weddings in just nine weeks, leaving this blog sadlly neglected….but lest my amazing clients think they are being neglected, know we are working hard to get and stay caught up on your weddings (Five so far this month and it’s only the 17th!).

Eric and Angel have been patiently waiting for their blog post….so thank you for your patience. I’m glad you at least have gotten to experience Lane’s trailer – Lane Gordon of Vintage Storybooks – can’t WAIT to work with you again!

On a “semi-sunny” Saturday, September 1 in Kalamazoo, MI, Eric and Angel entered their respective hotel rooms at the Radisson to get ready for their swanky little affair….after a flurry of hair and makeup by the uber-talented team from Capelli Salon in Grand Rapids. Mid-afternoonAngel was dressed and ready to walk down the aisle of the gorgeous Stetson Chapel at Kalamazoo College. It was perfect for their style, but it was made so much sweeter because Angel has know for years it’s where she wanted to get married!

The sweet ceremony left many of us (yes, us) in tears as we witnessed them commit their lives permanently to each other. While it was muggy and ok, steamy outside, we decided to take our steamy inside the chapel for their portraits. For this couple, it couldn’t have been better….so swank, so posh. Loved it. Angel, could you get married again so I can take more portraits of you?

Their reception, held at City Scapes in Kalamazoo, was made all the more perfect by the 33rd Street band, who serenaded Angel and Erik into an amazing celebration of love & laughter, surrounded by family and friends.

So as to not keep them waiting any longer, I’ll just say this: Erik, Angel, thank you. We adore you, and hope to share a brew with you next time (or every time!) you are home.
