Joanna & Lucas were married in early August in a beautiful ceremony at the Inn at St. John’s Chapel. Joanna’s dad walked her down the aisle to Lucas, who had tears running down his cheeks as he saw his bride for the first time on their wedding day. Even though COVID changed their original wedding plans and they had to move their reception from the Inn at St. John’s to an outdoor patio at the Dearborn Country Club, their day still went off without a hitch and was absolutely perfect!!
The morning started with Joanna’s mom zipping her into her timeless ballgown before she did a first look with her bridesmaids and then her dad on the Chapel balcony. Lucas’s dad helped him into his suit jacket and his best man adjusted his bow-tie, making sure he looked perfect on his wedding day! Once everyone was dressed, the girls gathered in the beautiful arched glass hallway at the inn for bridesmaids photos before getting Joanna ready to walk down the aisle! The excitement in the air was palpable! After a beautifully done ceremony and signing the marriage license, these two were officially husband & wife! We captured some portraits on the grounds of the Inn at St. John’s before heading over to the Dearborn Country Club for the reception!
After toasts that had both Lucas and his best man wiping their eyes, Joanna & Lucas shared an intimate private first dance inside the empty Dearborn Country Club ballroom with it’s vaulted ceilings and gold chandeliers while most of their guests watched from the outside doorways before Joanna danced with her dad & Lucas danced with his mom! The sun sank lower in the sky and after sunset portraits & a sparkler exit, their perfect wedding day came to an end.
Joanna & Lucas, thank you for trusting me to be the one to document this very special day for you both! It was such a beautiful day from start to finish and I’m so happy I got to witness your love story! Wishing you both lots of love & happiness in the years to come! Hope you cherish these photos always!!! Much love, Jen. xx
