Jenny + Joel 10.02.10

If you want to see a couple that is in super mushy gushy adorable sweet love... that's Jenny and Joel.  They were so ridiculously cute you couldn't help but grin.  It didn't even matter that Michigan weather was trying to prevent the outdoor ceremony they had planned... we made it happen.  The guests were able to hide out in the conservatory until the ceremony and then we went outside to the amazing English garden and braved the cold.  I cannot wait to see the pro pictures from Mod4 because they are going to be amazing.

The reception was held at the Doubletree hotel.  I have to say, the hotel staff was excellent.  They were extremely friendly and accomodating.  Plus, the food was delicious!  The couple started off the evening with a beautiful choreographed first dance and the bridal party got the dance floor packed.  Everyone had a great time with the super unique photo projector set up (combine a photobooth with a photo montage) provided by the couple's friend.  Everyone had so much fun that they were planning to after party in the hotel bar.

 Mums with tiny LED lights decorated the stairs where the bride and groom made their grand entrance

 This lobby chandelier has nothing to do with the wedding, I just really liked it!

 

Thank you Jenny and Joel for allowing me to help you make your day perfect!  You guys are probably one of the sweetest couples I have ever met.... and the best dancers!  Your friends and family are so gracious and I am happy to have met them.   ♥Shelly
