Every huge beautiful Wedding always has to start with the smallest of meaningful details. The dress, the ring, the shoes- which in this case were in fact Kate Spade Keds! But it’s love that truly starts the whole story, and keeps it going for a lifetime. And to help preserve their first chapter together the bride and groom wrote letters to each other to exchange and read the morning of their wedding. Let the love story begin!
Of course we also know no good love story is complete without the people who matter the most, so Anna gathered up her best girls, Nico his best guys, and last Summer they said I do, Italian style, with ALL of their family there to celebrate. It might have been a big party later in the day but earlier it was still low key and sweet as Anna got dressed and had her first look with her girls and her Dad.
After the I Dos at Our Lady of Victor in Northville, MI we had to make a very special stop. An unexpected venue for the day, but one we couldn’t miss- Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit to see Nico's Nona, which is Italian for grandmother.
Warning. These images will melt your heart and turn on the tears. But again, another part of the love story we couldn’t leave out.
Before our last stop for the Reception at the Italian American Club in Livonia we took advantage of the stunning Detroit Institute of Arts and celebrated the new Mr. and Mrs with their whole bridal party!
Annnnnd now for these images we’ve been holding out on you that we’re pretty sure would make the front and back cover of their love story they are writing! Such dreamy moments!

This early Fall Michigan Wedding was a day that felt like we might have slipped back in time, and loving history and vintage as much as we do, that was 100% not a problem at all! From the timeless decor, to the charming locations, the exquisite dress, and every small detail in between- this Wedding was one for the History books!
Miranda and Bryce’s Wedding day was FILLED with so many special moments but one of our favorite things (besides the AMAZING Historical and Vintage locations you’re about to see!) were all the FIRST moments we captured through out the day!
The Dad and Daughter First Look that was followed by a huge, warm embrace.
The Bridal Party seeing their stunning Bride in her dress for the very firs time- shout out to The Dress Shop in Howell, Michigan for this romantic dress that holds such an heirloom feel to it!
And the Bride and Groom’s First Look (don’t miss the mischievous Groomsmen poking their heads around the corner to get a look too!)
It’s these real life, never to be recreated again moments that we live to capture, forever, so you can share them with the next generation and show- this is where it all FIRST started, in this moment in this photograph!
The Ceremony was held at The University Bank in Ann Arbor. I don’t know about you but all of a sudden I am really, really disappointed in my bank. And as much as this girl likes online banking, you bet if my bank looked like this I would be going here for EVERY transaction. Needless to say ALL the charm was delivered for this couple and they were pronounced Mr. and Mrs.
After the I Dos we took a little stroll, stopping by The Michigan Stadium and The University of Michigan Law Quadrangle. These Gothic Style Buildings were to die for, which was needed, because these two and their entire Wedding Party were to die for, so they needed a background that could keep up!
Next we moved onto the Reception which was beautifully done in a private backyard. After such a glamorous day we leave you with these closing remarks:
“Let them eat cake!”
