Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer // Norm & Jessica – Married at Railside Golf Club!

Norm & Jessica are such a fun couple.  I knew they would be from one of the first times we spent any time together…..taking their engagement photos on the ice at a local hockey rink!  This Michigan summer has been chilly…..until their wedding day.  It was crazy hot and humid, but they didn’t let that get them down.  It was still their wedding day….and they sure did celebrate!

Jessica’s mother wore this veil on her wedding day many years ago….LOVE little details like that!

Two first looks….one with dad…

…and one with  Norm.  Emotions sometimes run high on wedding days, and the first look helps SO much to calm those emotions.

After a few more photos, we went back into the tent to celebrate.  And then….a dance battle broke out.  Where do all of these amazing dancers come from?!?
