Allison & Scott celebrated becoming husband and wife with a beautiful Grosse Pointe War Memorial Wedding the first weekend of July!! Allison, in a stunning lace Augustus Jones dress from Mimi’s Bridal with a short lace trimmed veil, and Scott, wearing a classic rich navy tux from the Black Tux, threw a classic, timeless wedding celebration for all of their friends and family to enjoy with champagne and blush tones complimented by touches of greenery setting the tone for their day! Allison got ready in the bridal suite at the War Memorial which I am now OBSESSED with. It has mega Wes Anderson vibes and those pink and green victorian chairs had me swooning! Her mom and sister zipped her into her dress and her sister pinned her veil in before it was time for her to head down to her first look with Scott. their first look was one of my favorite moments of the dance because Scott had the sweetest smile on his face when he saw his bride for the first time!! After pictures in the War Memorial’s beautiful gardens out front, everyone headed over to the church to get these two married!! One of my favorite photos of the day is the image of Allison and her Dad walking down the aisle towards Scott framed by the cutout of the balcony railing above. It’s such a sweet moment and I love how you can see the guests looking at Allison with awe as she walked down the aisle!!
After the ceremony, we headed back to the War Memorial for photos in a beautiful classic Chevy Master Sedan that Scott & Allison’s friend owned! I just LOVE when my couples incorporate a classic car into their wedding day! It provides such a fun touch to the wedding day for the two of you to enjoy and makes for beautiful photos as well!! One of my favorite moments of the day was during the formal dances. When Scott & his mom were dancing together, I looked over and saw Scott’s sister sitting at the head table with Allison wiping away her tears watching her mom & brother dance and Scott’s grandpa was next to me during their dance wiping his eyes every few seconds too. They were such sweet, emotional moments for Scott’s family and I loved being able to capture those memories for them!!
Allison & Scott, thank you so much for choosing ME to photograph your wedding day! It was an absolute honor getting to know you both & celebrate alongside of you and I hope you both love & cherish these photos for decades to come!! :) Wishing you lots of happiness always!! Much love, Jen. xx
