Alyssa & Tyler were married a little over a week ago on a beautiful, sunny Michigan summer day at Fox Hills Summer House. The week leading up to the wedding had rain in the forecast on Saturday, but thankfully the morning of, the forecast was clear except for one small stretch. It quickly poured for about 10 minutes before their outdoor ceremony and then the clouds moved out and the sun started shining again. That sunshine made for one of the most epic sunsets ever, especially framed between two beautiful weeping willow trees and reflecting off the small creek at Fox Hills as it sunk lower in the sky.
Alyssa and her girls were so sweet the morning of the wedding as they all got ready! There was so much laughter and music playing as they scurried around. The girls wore the prettiest mauve bridesmaids dresses and Alyssa’s sleek, beaded wedding dress looked like perfection on her. After taking some bridal portraits, we headed over to the First Look. My favorite moment of the entire day was seeing Tyler’s reaction to seeing Alyssa for the first time at their First Look. He put his hands up to his mouth and he was speechless as he took in how beautiful she looked. It caused Alyssa to tear up and it was such a beautiful moment just between the two of them on their wedding day. Moments like that are why I love First Looks so much and encourage all of my couples to consider doing one! Plus, we were able to knock out all the photos before the ceremony, which is always a plus!!
After they were pronounced husband and wife, the party moved to the open air Summer House, which looked stunning draped in white with gold and mauve accents. Alyssa’s cake was mauve ombre and fit the venue and decor perfectly!! Alyssa and Tyler shared a romantic first dance before the party got started on the dance floor! Alyssa’s whole family was out there dancing and having a blast, including grandma!! They threw one, fun party!!
Alyssa & Tyler, thank you for allowing me to capture such a special day in both of your lives. I’ve loved getting to know both of you over the last year and your wedding day was nothing short of amazing! Wishing you both a lifetime of love & happiness! Much love, Jen. xx
