June 5th of 2015, Chelsey & Dave said ‘I DO’ at Van Hoosen Farm in Rochester Hills– in front of all their friends & family! It was an unforgettable day from start to finish!
It seems like just yesterday Chelsey & I sat down for coffee & hashed everything out! Right off the bat, I knew that Chelsey was not only going to be one of my favorite brides, but that we would ultimately become friends in the long run. We chatted it up in a cozy corner by the window, and talked about her big day. She was SO excited to finally marry the man of her dreams, you could just see it in her face, and hear it in her voice with every word she spoke of the two of them! (this clearly got me even more pumped for this wedding!) Once everything was in the books, we had our first session together, their engagement session! I was blown away with how darn good looking this couple was! They did a phenomenal job on their engagement session, which put me over the moon with excitement for their big day!
As you will see below, Chelsey & Dave had nothing short of the perfect wedding- even though we heard a little bit of thunder rumble during the ceremony, I knew it was probably only God cheering them on from the heavens {seriously-not a joke!}
There is nothing more memorable than a private moment with mom after you put your gown on!
First looks are awesome- they rock my socks off- they, well….I mean, just look at this!! LOOK at how darn sticking cute this first look it with Chelsey & her Dad, I just can’t help but tear up a bit while having that giant ear to ear grin on my face! So much love here, it’s hard to put into words- so let me hush up & let you check it out!
Yes, I do love first looks, but I also LOVE letter exchanges!! Chelsey & Dave kept it traditional when it came to having the first look be when she first walks down the isle {oh boy-wait till you see that!} So, to be able to have a private moment between the two of them before they proclaimed their love in front of everyone, was a must & so bittersweet!
Now- before I overload you with more gorgeousness, I must let you know that, no- this is not Blake Lively or her sister. Yes- she does look exactly like her, talk like her, everything, but no it’s not her long lost twin sister {not that I know of at least!} Okay, now that there isn’t anymore confusion, you may proceed! 😉
Their ceremony was held at Iroquois Club in Bloomfield Hills, MI. The decor was beautiful & the detail was perfection- Chelsey & Dave did a wonderful job dressing up a venue that already had so much character to it!
After a romantic day full of love, joy, happiness, and many blessings- I know everyone was ready to kick off their heels & grab their dancing shoes, because this crowd knew how to party! 😉
Thank you so much Chelsey & Dave for allowing me to be apart of your big day! I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for the two of you!
Also a HUGE thank you to my rocking second shooter- Alyssa B! She was over-the-top great, and got a lot of my detail shots for me while I was catering to the lovely bride & groom! Thanks so much Alyssa, you’re a great friend & an even better photographer! =)
