Saturday, August 7, 2010 - Whitehall, MI

Liz and Matt’s wedding day was one of those perfect lakeside summer days…cool breezes, warm air and bright blue skies.  This wedding was also full of personal touches, fabulous details and Liz and Matt’s vision came together seamlessly!

Liz’s summers growing up were spent with her grandparents in Whitehall. The ceremony took place on the lawn overlooking Lake Michigan at her grandmother’s historic lakeside cottage.  Pictures were taken at the yacht club, beaches and favorite spots Liz remembers fondly from childhood.  The reception was at Michillinda Lodge with a tented reception and an outdoor cocktail hour.  What I loved most was watching Liz and Matt together…these two light up any room they are in!

Liz and Matt - I hope you know how hard it was to narrow down pictures for your blog post…you two are the sweetest! I hope your honeymoon was amazing!!

Meanwhile…

The girls from J Salon in Grand Rapids were AMAZING! Straight razor shaving for the guys and they rocked the girls’ hair and makeup.

This arbor has been in Liz’s family for decades…a true vintage arbor and so pretty!!

After the ceremony I had Liz and Matt all to myself for some pretty pictures.  The below porch is Liz’s grandmothers and she sat as a little girl on this swing every summer.

Liz, who works at Lululemon in Colorado, is an avid yoga-er and was showing off her wicked yoga skills!
