Not only was this couple the winner of our Free Wedding Package giveaway with 105.3 Hot FM in Grand Rapids, but they were also the first wedding at the restored Pleasant Valley Church. The media turned out to cover this event and you can read about it at The Morning Sun. Samantha and Kyle were married in this beautiful church near where she grew up. The weather made for a cool sky and the rain let up just long enough for us to take photos at the farm with the tractor. The reception was at the Elks Hall in Alma, Michigan. A great new facility that allowed them to party with over 150 guests. Sound Productions did an incredible job keeping the party going. I was amazed by their professionalism and care for Kyle and Samantha.

Wedding Photography – Bertha Brock Park Ionia Michigan
I was able to be the “Family Friend” to photograph this event at Bertha Brock Park in Ionia, Michigan. Palmer Lodge was a incredible setting for a wedding. The Boy Scouts built this lodge years ago and still have regular meetings there. I had never done a wedding at this venue and ironically it is only 6 miles from home. I will be back there later this summer!

Grand Volute was the host for this wedding and reception. Horrock’s did a great job with flowers and decorations. The coolest part of this wedding was the Dr. Seuss wedding cake created by Mirabella Confections. The event ended as the couple left on a carriage ride by Common Gentry Carriage Company.

The guests stroll around and usually get to partake in the celebration. A comfortable setting, sacred event, and comfortable guests make for a great beach wedding event….
