Lauren & Nolan | a Thornapple Pointe Golf Course Wedding

Wedding

My face muscles are still recovering from Saturday!! I don’t think I ever took the smile off my face (except maybe when I was tearing up during the ceremony and speeches). The weather was perfect, the venue was lovely, and Lauren & Nolan were so pumped to get married – their happiness was contagious (see below 😉 )! You all know I love each and every one of my couples so much, but when their family welcomes you with warm hugs, places you at a table with their family, and constantly thanks you throughout the day; those kind of people hold a special place in my heart! My mom and I felt loved since the moment we step into the door!! Mitchell & Wolffis families – we can’t thank you enough for your generosity!

Lauren & Nolan met almost 4 years ago and it’s been such an honor getting to know them, learning about their love story, and capturing this special time in their lives! I loved every single part of their day, but especially watching their first look while they read letters to each other, their first dance (look for the extra fun one after their slow dance 😉 ), witnessing their first full day as husband and wife and watching their families get along so well together! I said to Lauren & Nolan at the end of the night, “You both have the most kindest, loving families!” and their response was, “Thank you! We think so too! We are so lucky!”

I keep thinking back to all of the perfect memories of the day; the way I could feel God’s presence during their ceremony, the joy-filled tears that streamed down her dad’s face as he watched his daughter become a wife, and seeing the love that filled every single room!

Lauren & Nolan, I am thanking God for placing you two in my life and praying that this new season is full of so much joy for you two! Enjoy living in your new place together, enjoy not having to say goodbye at the end of the night, and enjoy fully living life with your best friend! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your love story! I adore you two!! xo
