Second shooting for <a href="https://parshallphotography.com/">Stephanie Parshall</a> is always a grand time. This time was no different along with some fun unique twists. Nicole and Dylan's wedding in Shelbyville, MI was a day filled with love, laughter, and a few surprises. The venue, Bay Pointe, was a picturesque setting that served as a perfect backdrop for this beautiful occasion.
&nbsp;
The day started with a beautiful, clear blue sky. As the guests arrived, they were greeted with elegant umbrellas for sunshade. It was a unique touch that lent an Italian flair to the event.
&nbsp;
The ceremony itself was heartfelt and intimate. Nicole and Dylan exchanged their vows under the clear Michigan sky, surrounded by their friends and family.
&nbsp;
As the ceremony concluded, the guests were treated to another unique aspect of this wedding - a mini putt putt game during the cocktail hour. This unconventional activity brought a sense of fun and lightness to the event. It offered a chance for the guests to mingle, laugh, and enjoy themselves before heading to the reception.
&nbsp;
The reception was nothing short of spectacular. The pavilion was decorated beautifully, with each detail carefully thought out. The atmosphere was filled with happiness and celebration. As Nicole and Dylan shared their first dance, their love for each other was evident in their smiles and the way they looked into each other's eyes.
&nbsp;
This was a day that truly celebrated Nicole and Dylan's love, and it was an honor to be a part of it.

Today, I&rsquo;m excited to share the story of Lydia and Michael&rsquo;s wedding day, a delightful day that was as unique as the couple themselves. It was a glorious mix of downtown Detroit charm and industrial vibes. Now, I know what you're thinking, 'Industrial vibes for a wedding?' Well, let me tell you, it worked! And it was nothing short of stunning.
&nbsp;
The day started at the beautiful St Aloysius Parish. Not your average church, this place is a Detroit gem with its grand architecture and unique three levels. It was here that Lydia and Michael, two of the most in-love people I've ever met, said their 'I do&rsquo;s'. Their ceremony was heartfelt and genuine, and there wasn&rsquo;t a dry eye in the house.
&nbsp;
After the ceremony, the party moved to The Norwood for the reception. This venue is a classic Detroit establishment that perfectly matched Lydia and Michael&rsquo;s style. The Norwood, with its bare brick walls and high ceilings, provided an industrial yet intimate setting for the celebration. The place was buzzing with laughter, love, and good vibes - just like our couple. Throughout the night, the couple, their family, and friends danced, laughed, and created memories that would last a lifetime.
&nbsp;
As a photographer, I live for moments like these. It's not just about taking pictures; it's about capturing memories, emotions, and love. It's about telling a story. And let me tell you, Lydia and Michael&rsquo;s story was one for the books. From the location to the venue, everything was carefully chosen and reflected who they are as a couple. I'm grateful to have been part of their day and to have had the chance to document their love story.
&nbsp;
Thank you, Lydia and Michael, for allowing me to be part of your special day. Here&rsquo;s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and endless adventures!

Elizabeth and Katie&rsquo;s wedding day at the Garden of Eden in Commerce, Michigan was full of love, color, and joy. The fall season brought bold tones of red, orange, and gold that made every moment look straight out of a dream.

Even though they were surrounded by so many loved ones, their ceremony felt incredibly intimate. You could feel the emotion and connection between them during the ceremony &mdash; it was such a special moment to capture.
&nbsp;
Elizabeth and Katie chose not to have a wedding party, which gave us extra time for portraits of just the two of them. The trees were glowing with autumn color, creating the perfect backdrop for romantic and natural photos.
&nbsp;
Once the reception began, the energy was amazing! The dance floor was the place to be, with everyone celebrating and having the best time. It was the perfect ending to such a heartfelt day.

Hannah was perfection. We had our wedding on the Ovation Yacht, and it rained the whole day. Hannah helped things go seamlessly and was helpful beyond expectations. Thank you for making our day so special.

Danielle & Matt

If you are searching for a photographer, look no further. Our session with Hannah was so much fun, and the photos just blew us out of the water with how great they are. We were constantly laughing, and Hannah made us feel so comfortable. We have found our photographer for all our milestones in the future

Kadie & Mandy

Hannah did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding photos! She has such a great personality. We will definitely be booking her for future events!

Dharma & Jake

Hannah was my favorite vendor I hired for my wedding. She answered every question I had and explained how to pose for pictures well. We got our wedding pictures back to us way earlier than what was in the contract, and does incredible work! I highly recommend her!
