Michigan Wedding Photographer // John & Shay – Married at The Centennial Barn!

I have been SO excited for this wedding for so many reasons.  I was finally able to shoot at The Centennial Barn, work with Shelby from the Day’s Design and photograph this adorable couple, John & Shay!  Remember them from this post?  Their surprise proposal session.  Love!!

This day was seriously the most gorgeous ever.  They prayed all week for perfect weather and God answered those prayers ten times over.  Their decor was stunning and the flowers were absolute perfection.  We took so many photos, which is always a good sign!

Here are a bunch of my favorites!

These bridesmaids dresses were so pretty and looked great against their lovely bouquets.

This was one of my favorite parts of the day.  Taking a few moments to pray together before the ceremony.

I love the photo below of John.  I bet this will be one of Shay’s favorites too!  The one she will show off to her grandchildren someday!

Sunset photos are always a good idea….

I don’t do silhouette photos often, but when I do it is because there is a killer sunset that needs to be captured!
