My dear friend Jaimie met Ryan two summers ago at the party of a mutual friend of theirs and connected instantly. In fact, before they went their separate ways that night, Ryan told Jaimie he would marry her one day! After getting engaged just a few weeks ago and wanting to get married before Ryan’s busy summer at work set in, the couple planned an intimate ceremony for family and close friends at the 8th District Court at the Crosstown Center in Kalamazoo. Jaimie looked beautiful in a dress by J. Crew which she had altered to make it her own and chose pale pink flowers accented by green ribbon. The flowers were from The Bloomin Shop in Otsego with the exception of Jaimie’s bouquet, which I made for her. The ceremony was held on a Wednesday morning so not everyone on the guest list could make it.  However, some friends and family members who didn’t see the ceremony, were able to meet up with the newlyweds at the Olde Peninsula Brewpub and Restaurant for lunch afterward. Congrats Ryan and Jaimie! It was an honor for me to photograph your wedding!

Just married!
