Chelsea & Tel | a Downtown Hastings Wedding

Wedding

Chelsea & Tel had a beautiful wedding in Downtown Hastings on Saturday! In Michigan, you never know the kind of weather you are going to get, especially in March. I’d say we were truly lucky because the sun was shining, it was 40 degrees, and we got the golden hour Chelsea & I had been hoping for! Chelsea & Tel are such a sweet couple. They are both so down to earth, go-with-the flow kind of people. They can make anyone feel at ease and welcome and they did just that every single time Brian & I were with them.

We loved the personal touches on their day. Her grandma’s charm attached to her bouquet, Chelsea doing her own make-up, her mom (& other sweet friends and family) making all of the food and desserts and how their son, Eli was included in every part of the wedding. It truly made their day even more special and I just adore watching the love these two have for each other. It truly radiates and every time they looked at each other their eyes beamed and they couldn’t help but have a huge joy-filled smile. These are moments you can’t put into words and why I love my job even more. I am blessed to capture love like this.

Chelsea & Tel, we adore you guys. We consider ourselves lucky to know you! You’re an incredible couple with an incredible love, and we know you two are a power couple who will do amazing things!! Congratulations, newlyweds! We wish you all the love and happiness in the world! Thanks again for allowing Brian & I to be a part of your love story! xo Ahh – you guys!
