Kristie is a emergency room nurse and Matt is an engineer. They met in Northern Michigan and have been together for the past six years. They finally decided to get married and chose Greystone Mansion near Honor, Michigan. Kristie originally wanted the wedding at the beach in Frankfort but changed her plans because of the logistics. They had a beautiful outdoor wedding but it was in the courtyard rather than the beach.
Kristie took a moment to pause and look at herself in the mirror after putting on her wedding dress for the first time.
The Greystone Mansion has a wonderful courtyard with a water garden, a stone pathway, a Monet bridge and a covered gazebo. Kristie looked radiant in her dress outside in the courtyard.
The wedding was well attended although the ceremony itself was short and to the point (Kristie’s style exactly).
Kristie asked me if I got a picture of Matt’s face when he first saw her in her wedding dress.
Kristie was radiant as her father walked her down the aisle.
I met with Kristie’s mom the day before to wedding to plan some shoots for after the ceremony. We drove around Beulah looking at locations. Some of those shots never came to pass due to time constraints. But I could tell that Kristie and her mother have a special bond.
Kristie had been planning this wedding for almost a year. We shot the engagement pictures in October of 2009 (You can find those pics in an earlier post).
Kristie and Matt’s joy was evident although Matt is considerably more subdued.
The wedding party headed out to Beulah Beach for photographs after the ceremony.
One of the shots they absolutely had to have was of all the girl’s feet. I don’t ask questions I just take the pictures. lol
One of the shots I had to have was a shot of them kissing through the veil. Kristie wasn’t too clear about what I was trying for but I think the shot turned out nice.
Afterward they all loaded back into the van to start an evening of partying at the hall.
Where the couple entered in their usual fashion.
