John and Anna!

June 18, 2009

John and Anna were  married in Grand Rapids last Saturday!  The church was a gorgeous old church, Westminster Presbyterian Church of Grand Rapids.

The day threatened rain in the morning… but it turned out to be perfect, and not too hot!  (Those old churches don’t have air conditioning!)  06172009010617200907061720090206172009080617200904After the ceremony we went to the Gerald R. Ford Museum for a couple images with the wedding party.

Nate and Cara!

Nate and Cara had an absolutely BEAUTIFUL wedding last weekend!  Cara looked gorgeous on her special day.  They were married at Lee Street CRC in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  I love that church (since it is MY church) because of the beautiful architecture.  061620090106162009050616200902061620090306162009040616200907

Cara made the cutest programs!0616200906

After the ceremony, we stopped by Saint Andrews Cathedral in Grand Rapids.  Cara loved the look of the outside of the church, and she wanted some portraits of the wedding party done there!

The reception was at Saint George’s Banquet and Conference Center.  They played a GREAT shoe game…. they were asked questions, and they each had to hold up the shoe that belonged to the person that best fit the answer to the question!
