Rochester, Michigan - October, 2024

As we finally feel the weather shift and the leaves change color, I am instantly transported to Alicia and Brandon’s wedding 1 year ago! I can’t believe they are coming up to their first anniversary already!

Lauren Burgess did an INCREDIBLE job capturing how cozy the day was despite the cool weather. They captured the blissful and lively, yet completely grounded in each other, personalities of the Bride and Groom. A huge thank you to her for sharing these images of the day and capturing it all so perfectly!

Coordinating this wedding at Royal Park Hotel was such a treat - there were a lot of logistical moving parts with the intimately-sized atrium, multiple weddings, and various spaces - but we managed to make everything veeeery smooth.

Behind the scenes - the morning of their wedding I found out I was pregnant with baby number two. I was absolutely buzzing but couldn’t tell a sole as to not take away from their day…I ended up telling the photobooth operator near the end of the night, because it was killing me! We both ended up having an extra spring in our step the rest of the night LOL!

““5/5! Samantha was TOP NOTCH! From the first call together all the way through our wedding event, Sam was always putting mine and my husband’s needs first. She has incredible detail and made the planning process and day of event less stressful. I can’t thank her enough for being a part of our special day. For anyone who is on the fence of hiring or looking to hire a Wedding Coordinator, I HIGHLY recommend checking her out. From one bride to the next, I promise you won’t regret it!””

From the morning through the evening, Alicia and Brandon emitted the most wonderful calm and infectious warmth.
