A church wedding + backyard reception


Nic and Jackie started their 2021 Labor Day Weekend wedding day off with getting ready photos at home for the brides and bridesmaids and at the church for the groom and groomsmen! There is something incredibly special about being able to capture a bride getting ready in her childhood bedroom. The memories that room must hold! Their ceremony was held at Big Beaver United Methodist in Troy, Michigan. After a church reception, we headed to their home for the tent reception. The night was filled with amazing food (Lino's North), great speeches, and a lot of dancing!
