When Trevor turned around and saw Alex for the first time, his eyes welled with tears. He gave her the biggest hug & when he finally pulled back to admire her in her fitted lace Enzoani dress, he had the best smile on his face. After reading their hand-written vows to each other during this private moment, they were ready to walk down that aisle and get married!

This past Saturday’s Grand Rapids wedding was a special one for me. I have known Alex and her family since grade school and it was such an honor to be by her side on her wedding day as she married Trevor documenting it all!! Earlier in the week, the weather was showing thunderstorms on Saturday, but when the day actually came, not a single drop of rain fell. The day started at the Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids and during the portraits I felt like we were on the streets of Paris. The architecture of the building and the streets around it were just stunning.

Alexandra and Trevor met at Grand Valley State University when they were both there for their undergrad. What started as a friendship quickly grew into more. It was only fitting that these two, who now live in Portland, OR, made the trek back to where it all began to say I do. What made their wedding day even better was the surprise at the reception that Trevor’s college friend & Alex’s dad set up, the President of Grand Valley stopped by the reception to give the newlyweds a toast and enjoy dinner. It was such a special day through and through!

Trevor & Alex, thank you so much for welcoming me into your family and allowing me to be a part of one of your most cherished days. It was such an honor to capture the love you both have for each other and I know you have a lifetime of love and happiness ahead of you. I hope you cherish these photographs for decades to come. Much love, Jen. xx
