Double JJ Ranch Wedding | Stephanie + Mike are Married! | Associate Alyssa — Studio Phrene | Grand Rapids Lifestyle and Newborn Photography

Mike and Stephanie had a destination wedding at Double JJ Ranch and they couldn't have asked for a better day. Mike and Stephanie are high school sweet hearts and their love is still going strong. I just have to share their engagement story. Mike took Stephanie on a back road drive to one of their favorite spots at sunset and pulled out a duck call. Mike makes duck calls and made her a special one that read " Will you" and "Marry Me". Adorable! Not only was their engagement special but their wedding day was incredibly special; Stephanie's right hand ring was Mike's Grandmothers, Stephanie had her Grandmother's handkerchief tucked away in her dress, Stephanie, her sister, and her mom picked and made all of the jam that they used for the favors, oh and wait until you see both of her dresses and her stunning jewelry! One very very special part of Mike and Stephanie's wedding was their best man, Matt. Matt passed away a few years back but it was very important for Mike to have him stand by his side throughout his wedding day. Mike was able to drive Matt's truck for the day and even to one of Matt's favorite spots: the silver lake sand dunes. Not only did he have the memory of his truck, but Matt's boots stood at the alter with Mike and sat next time him at the reception. Every part of this wedding was thoughtfully planned out for this wonderful couple and I hope you enjoy this little preview. Congrats to Mike + Stephanie!
