Izzy & Drew were married in Downtown Detroit on a beautiful sunshine filled day! Izzy wore the most beautiful champagne colored tulle ballgown from Carolina Herrera that was adorned with gold beading and a matching gold beaded cathedral length veil. The veil was a gift from Drew and looked so stunning on her. Drew was dressed in a classic black tuxedo along with all of his groomsmen. Izzy met Drew at the Belle Isle Casino for their first look and it was one of my favorite moments of the day. When Andrew saw her for the first time, he had tears in his eyes and Izzy gently wiped them away. The bridal party joined them there and the photos of them on the steps are some of my favorites!
Izzy’s dad walked her down the stunningly long aisle of Old St. Mary’s in Greektown and handed her off to Drew who was waiting for her at the alter. The historic Catholic churches in Detroit are some of the best and I never get over the architecture or level of detail in them. Izzy carried a beautiful sprawling bouquet by Michal B. Anthony that featured large dahlia’s and it was so beautiful in person! Once they slid matching silver Tiffany & Co. wedding bands onto each others hands and were pronounced husband and wife, they exited the church doors to friends and family lining the steps and blowing bubbles! Church exits are my favorite and always create such fun and joyous photos! I also think they show the energy of the day just perfectly!! The guests then headed over to the rooftop at the historic Madison Theatre for the reception. Dinner, toasts and the first dances all took place on their rooftop patio with Detroit’s Woodward Ave glittering in the background behind them before the guests headed downstairs and The Bluewater Kings kicked off the dance party playing their signature mix of Motown & contemporary hits!! They are one of my favorite wedding bands and know how to make sure the dance floor is packed the entire night! Before their wedding day was over, we snuck a final few portraits of the two of them in front of the vibrant nighttime city lights.
Izzy & Drew, thank you so much for trusting me to document your day! I had a bast hanging out with you guys at your Detroit engagement session and again at your wedding! It is so evident how much you both love each other and I wish you a lifetime of that kind of love! I hope you love & cherish these photos always. Much love, Jen. xx
