They say mother know best, and that was certainly the case for Maureen & Josh!! Josh’s mom and Maureen taught together at the same school. The entire school year, his mom kept telling Maureen that she wanted to introduce her to her son Josh. Finally, Maureen agreed & as she put it, “the rest was history”. Josh proposed on Christmas Eve in 2017 and this past June Maureen & Josh celebrated becoming husband and wife at the Dearborn Inn surrounded by all of their family and friends!! Maureen & Josh both got ready at the Dearborn Inn and saw each other for the first time as Maureen’s dad escorted her down the aisle!
One of my favorite parts of Maureen & Josh’s wedding day was their bubble exit from the church!! Exits are always one of my favorite things because of how much joy & emotion they create!! Seeing a couple smiling so big as they run down the stairs & hear all of their guests cheering and showing them with bubbles is such a special moment!! Another part of the wedding day that I loved was hearing the toasts from Maureen’s dad, Josh’s Best Man & Maureen’s Maids of Honor! Josh’s best man’s sweet speech had Josh’s mom wiping her eyes repeatedly through it and one of Maureen’s Maid of Honor’s also gave such a sentimental speech to Maureen and had everyone tearing up. It was one of the most meaningful and emotional speeches I’ve ever heard! Maureen & Josh also love all things Disney (& even went on a Disneyland honeymoon) and when it was time for dinner to be served, all of a sudden, Be Our Guest came on and the Dearborn Inn servers paraded around the room to deliver the food to the head table while doing a choreographed dance that lasted the entire song! Everyone was cheering and clapping along as they put on a show and finished by banging the plate covers off of one another like cymbals!! It was one of the coolest thing’s I’ve seen at a wedding!
Maureen & Josh, thank you for trusting me to capture your wedding day!! To first meeting all those years ago at a Jonas Brothers meet & greet right down the road from where you got married, to your beautiful Detroit Yacht Club engagement session followed by your Dearborn Inn wedding, it’s been so much fun! I hope you love & cherish these photos for decades to come!! Much love, Jen. xx
