By Jamie May Photography:  Jamie May Photography is a experienced grand rapids wedding photographer that specializes in the Michigan area, especially the West Michigan.

Liz and Matt’s wedding day was in June.  June is always a very popular month to get married before the hot summer days.   I always recommend booking your photographer a year in advance, especially for June and September weddings.  Liz contacted me from a past referral wedding, which you can view here . Liz and Matt were wonderful to be with. It was like an extension of family. Plus, being from Grand Rapids, they know my family,  and they made me feel right at home.

The church was St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Grand Rapids. I love this church because it has beautiful architecture.  And it looked fantastic with their stunning gold dresses! After the ceremony, we headed down to the Ford Museum for some city photos.  This a fun crowd and we were escorted along with them on their party bus.  We ended at the venue called Studio D2D.  They danced the night away and ate delicious food catered by Catering Concepts.   Some of my favorite hightlights were the bridal party speeches and of course the little flower girl with AMAZING dance moves!   I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking. Jamie May Photography is a photographer in  the Greater Grand Rapids area.  Contact information : 616-402-5111 or click this link

About Studio D2D

• Studio D2D is a large venue.  It has two rooms that separate the seating and the dancing.
• It has a industrial feel with lots of exposed brick.
• They have a lot of add-ons that may make it easier for booking, such as photo booth and dj

It was a super rainy day, relentlessly raining!!!  We were fortunate to find a great spot to take pictures indoors.  I was happy that the park had an indoor shelter for the ceremony.  I love this family. They are always so warm and welcoming. It is like hanging out with old friends.   Britney looked stunning in her bridal gown!  Kellen was grinning ear to ear, the whole night, as was Britney. I love all of animated expressions! She makes me smile. Hope to see you again! Best Wishes to many happy years!!!

On a side note, we are very experienced with grand rapids weddings.  There are tons of beautiful options.  This day was a really bad, rainy, dark day, and we were still able to take advantage of the architecture downtown and get some wonderful photos.  We have lived around the area our whole lives, so we are very familiar with how to navigate. I have even had brides have us pick where to go for the whole day!

Strategies on handling a rainy day:

1. Don’t panic, it always works out

2. Be OK with getting your dress a little dirty

3. Have umbrellas for a cute back-up prop, you can always take them back.

4.  Maybe have a white sheet to lay down on the ground under your dress.

5. Hire a experienced photographer that knows how to handle any weather or lighting condition.

Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer at Bissell Tree House by West Michigan photographer at John Ball Zoo.

You always can confirm it is a small world, when think you are meeting people that wouldn’t know you or your family since they are not from Grand Rapids, and you start conversation and find out their oldest son was friends with your cousin!   All of this being unknown to any of us at the time.  That being said, the whole day felt like we were among friends.  We had such a wonderful time!!!  In addition, it was the first time I have photographed a wedding at the Bissell Tree House . Of course, this was a lovely location.  We even got to pet a snake and a rabbit!  I am thrilled for this sweet couple.  I especially loved how everyone danced down the aisle for the processional.  Too fun!!
Wishing you the very best! x0x0x. For more information and pricing, check out this link
