Grand Rapids, Michigan Wedding: Erica + Ian

You couldn’t help but be teary-eyed and laughing at the same time throughout Erica and Ian’s wedding day! When Erica walked down the aisle to A Thousand Years by Christina Perri towards her future husband, the world paused for a moment allowing you time to take in their affection for each other! The lryics tell this moment perfectly: Time stands still, beauty in all she is, I will be brave, I will not let anything take away what’s standing in front of me, every breath, every hour has come to this, one step closer..

You could tell that their parents, Steve + Joni and Don + Jen couldn’t be prouder!

The day started as the gorgeous bride and her bridesmaids dolled themselves up at Eclipse Salon Suites with stylist from Allure, Exquisite and Revived hair studios. The girls laughed, shared stories and took photos with the bride. You could tell just how close this bridal party was – Erica got to speak to her future hubby on the phone, read a sweet text message from her grandma and cry a bit as she read a lovely note from her mom Joni before she became a Mrs. The fun continued at the church as the girls posed in front a 1965 Chevy truck, which matched perfectly with their teal colored dresses! Swoon away…

Ian joined his groomsmen at the Holy Spirit church. While they dressed in their suits they all congratulated Ian on his big day and admired his soon-to-be beautiful wife! Together they rocked the perfect pocket squares and laughed as they reminisced on the prior days round of golf! Ian’s father Don was grinning ear-to-ear as he watched his son prepare for one of the biggest and most memorable days of his life!

Erica and Ian, you’re perfect, adorable and so in love, its contagious! When first meeting you for your engagement session I knew right away that you were amazing together and I couldn’t wait to watch you seal your love with a kiss! Thank you for having me a part of your wedding day! I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon and I look forward to hearing all about it!
