Courtneay & Josh were married this past Saturday at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial! Even though it rained and their ceremony had to be moved inside, they didn’t let it dampen their mood one bit!
The day started at the Westin Book Cadillac hotel downtown. Courtneay’s mom and Maid of Honor helped her into her stunning wedding dress with long champagne tulle layers and Courtneay’s dad stopped by to see his daughter as a bride. Dad and daughter first looks are such special heartwarming moments!
One of my favorite moments of their wedding day however was Courtneay’s first look with Josh. As soon as Courtneay walked up to Josh and tapped him on his shoulder, he teared up seeing his bride for the first time that day! It was such a sweet moment. The weather forecast wasn’t looking promising in the afternoon with storms rolling in, but it held off just long enough to stop by the Detroit Institute of Arts for portraits before the sky opened up.
After they were pronounced husband and wife, guests mingled at cocktail hour before being seated for dinner and toasts. After dinner and a stop by the donut bar, the party got started and the dance floor was packed.
Courtneay & Josh, thank you for trusting me to document your wedding day! I’ve loved getting to know you both and I hope you love your wedding photos!! Much love, Jen. xx
