Their smiles said all that needed to be said on their wedding day.  Ryan and Stephanie are in love.  Like, loooooooove love.  And I was the ridiculously lucky one to capture that loooooooove on camera.  

Ryan and Stephanie's day went exactly the way it should: relaxed, fun, and filled with nothing but good vibes.  No stresses, even when we were locked out of the church before the ceremony.  Gotta love a bride who takes that in stride!

The ceremony was held at St. Michael's Catholic Church in downtown Monroe, MI, and it just oozes in beauty and serenity.  The reception was held at the River Raisin Banquet Center, again in downtown Monroe, and was the perfect backdrop for their fun and dance-filled reception.

I loved being a part of Ryan and Stephanie's big day, and cannot help but smile as I blog their wedding today.  What a couple, what a wedding, what a love story.

Favorite first look of all time.  Gah.  Ryan's emotions are the best. Thing. Ever.

With the arrival of our 3rd child later this summer, I will be stepping back from weddings until fall 2016.  If you're getting married September 2016 and beyond, I would love an opportunity to chat with you!
