Abby had a crush on Danny ever since she met him ten years ago at her brother’s wedding but they hadn’t really talked since that day. A couple years ago, her brother re-introduced them and they had several Zoom dates. Abby eventually flew back to Michigan to go to a wedding with Danny while she was living out of state for work and…as they say…the rest is history.
This is their wedding story.

Abby’s gown was simple but perfect. Her cathedral veil was just stunning. She was absolutely beautiful!

When planning the wedding, Abby made sure to ask herself when making decisions – “What would the queen do?”. I think that’s just about fitting for this day!

I’m not sure what Danny’s letter from Abby said but it obviously made him smile…

Their ceremony took place at St. Joseph’s Shrine in Detroit and it was GORGEOUS!

Danny and Abby’s church is very important to them so we took most of their portraits with that in mind.
