josh + alyssa // grand rapids, mi wedding

Josh + Alyssa are the type of people you want to be friends with. They are sweet, super fun, genuine… and just plain awesome. These two wonderful people have been planning their wedding day for a while… and it finally came this past Saturday!

It was a perfectly sunny, blue-skied day. Spirits were high, the details were set and everyone was ready for this beautiful union. Speaking of details, it seemed like each one was handpicked because of their personal meaning. From being married in the church that Alyssa’s grandma grew up in, to wearing a string of pearls from Josh’s mom, cuff links featuring Josh’s hometown… these two were not only surrounded by friends and family, but donned with their mementos as well.

It was completely evident that these two are in love and are loved by others. Celebrating with them was a delight. Many congratulations, Josh + Alyssa!

Josh + Alyssa opted to do a “first look” to ease the schedule of the day and allow more time for awesome portraits!
Josh scored these sweet cuff links from an Etsy artist. They feature a tiny map of Camden, PN where Josh grew up!

The reception was held at the West Walker Sportsman Club in Grand Rapids, MI.
Josh + Alyssa, may God bless and keep you always. May your wishes all come true. May you always do for others and let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung. And may you stay…
