Amanda & Alex | The Henry Ford Museum

Real Weddings

Mar 21

Today is the first FULL day of Spring! While this wedding took place in the late summer, the florals could make anyone swoon ANY time of year.

Even with Alex halfway across the world in Kuwait serving in the Army and Amanda working through a rigorous school program, these two were the epitome of “make it work with love”.

Throughout the whole planning process, they were always so thoughtful and down-to-earth. My kind of couple! Even with the immense time difference, they were both just looking forward to that end goal of being together in the same place, something many of us take for granted.

And when the day of their wedding finally came, man you could feel that sense of “finally..” - the biggest breath of fresh air.

Shelby Monnette captured this weekend and man she is so freaking good at capturing the perfect emotions of weddings. I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for someone to not just take pictures, but to capture moments.

All of the first looks of the bride were so heartfelt. From her father, to the groomsmen, to the groom himself, words can’t describe..

After the ceremony, the wedding party took a private Model T Car and carriage ride to Greenfield Village to snap some shots before the ceremony

The florals were perfectly in season and created the most perfect frame for the moment. You already know I’m a sucker for wildflowers and perfect florals, these had me beside myself.

Their ceremony took place in the courtyard of the Henry Ford Museum.

It was a MOMENT

Then onto the reception!

Very random fact: the food at The Henry Ford is TO DIE. One would not expect a museum to have such incredible food, but every time I’m fortunate to dine here, they do not disappoint! Just a little note when you’re choosing venues - haha!

Signature Henry Ford shot. A modern couple with a classic love ~

The bride, groom, and all the guests danced hard. Both Amanda and Alex ended up rocking all the way to the ground at one point.

Such an indescribable energy. Party of the year!

Thank you Amanda and Alex for so brightly demonstrating what genuine love looks like. It was such a joy working with you and I wish you a continued lifetime of happiness ♡.
