Bay Pointe Inn Wedding

Hank and Ashley’s wedding at Bay Pointe Inn was so incredibly fun. From all the details they planned, to including their sweet pups and their incredibly kind families…I sure enjoyed capturing the day for them!

Family and friends traveled from all over to celebrate with these two…even the bride and groom decided to celebrate here in Michigan instead of where they live in Texas since Michigan was somewhere special to them (and because it’s beautiful here in the summer!). Although their plans were well thought out, Michigan has a way of making up it’s own mind and gave us some super hot Texas heat that day. We had fun anyway 😉

Fourth of July wedding at Bay Pointe Inn

I loved Ashley’s details.

Goodness, weren’t these ladies stunning?!

The back of her dress was perfection!

The guys were having fun getting ready at the hotel. I love how different their “getting ready” time looks than the ladies.

The first look is always one of my favorite parts of any wedding day.

You’ll never convince me that first looks take away from the ceremony.

This little classic red car was such a fun detail of the day!

Ashley – I hope you know how gorgeous you are!

It was so fun how each bridesmaid had a different dress, with and without patterns.

Their cake was made by my favorite, Vanessa with Sweet Details GR!

Oh that creamy film.

This photo just tells such a story…

Hank & Ashley – you two were so much fun! Through the heat and the rain and everything else that your day threw at you…it was still a blast! I could work with you two over and over again. Thanks for asking me to capture your day!
