Simplicity: Alyssa + Jared

This wedding was the definition of fun. If I could do my wedding all over again, I think I would just copy this one! Alyssa and Jared are really laid back and super sweet. They picked an amazing venue for the ceremony and reception, The Henry Ford Museum. This is arguably one of the most unique venues in Metro Detroit. The banquet staff was an absolute pleasure to work with and I hope to do so again soon. Unfortunately due to lovely Michigan rain the day before, the outdoor ceremony was moved indoors to the theatre.... which is beautiful anyway so I suppose it isn't really a downgrade. I cannot wait to see the pro pictures from Emily Dowd and the video from Shelby & Aaron from FCP!! Tom the DJ was super fun and Crystal from Shutterbooth is just the cutest.

The guests were blown away with this wedding, as was evident by the plethora of pictures flooding my facebook the next day! I am thrilled with the results and even more thrilled for the adorable couple. I wish you two nothing but the best, Mr. & Mrs. B! Here is to your happily ever after!!!

Now enjoy some of my pictures from the evening:

This setup and venue deserved its own 360 shot (sorry it is shaky... Forever Cherished is an awesome videographer.... I am not)

Tables with floating candles & orchids and the cutest table numbers made by Alyssa (pictures of their dogs).

Cake in front of the dance floor.... yes the dance floor is under the plane!

I adore these escort cards.... Jelly Belly beans in glass bottles sealed with wax and stamped with their initial on top.

Cool sand ceremony... an hourglass!

What can be better than Paws showing up to your reception!? This was a total surprise guest appearance made possible by the parents of the bride.

Late night snack... nacho bar!

Faygo float station, can you say yummmm?

At the 'drive in' movie theatre they had a slideshow of pictures for the guests to enjoy

Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day!!! --Shelly (& Paws)
