Ally & Nick {part 2} Nazareth Hall Grand Rapids, Ohio

When couples write letters to each other and read them out loud for the video before delivering, it sets the tone for the entire day, and what a sweet tone this was!

Allyson & Nick have this amazing dynamic between the (three) of them. Their ADORABLE son Julian makes their little family this powerhouse of strength and I can only see that growing as they add more littles in the future!

They had an absolutely gorgeous day for their nuptials at Nazareth Hall and here are a handful of my faves.

How adorable are these hangers Ally had made for her bridesmaids?

First looks are always a fun part of the day. It allows little jitters to be released and are ALWAYS filled with SOME kind of emotion. Especially when the bride gives her groom an unexpected gift and I get THESE reactions! (above) That ‘little black book” was of an intimate/sassy secrets session I offer my brides. Nick was TOTALLY shocked and said “How did you do this? She would NEVER do something like this! ” and I’m pretty sure he said some type of words on how awesome it was, but his face says it all!

powerhouse trio

maids aren’t the only ones to take group selfies….

Loved this precious moment between Ally and her grandma

and then this message to her parents as a surprise

Julian got the cake in the face! Poor little guy never saw it coming. Wait until his wedding day.. I wonder if he will pay them back?? haha

Nick got to dance with his lovely aunt. Talk about no dry eyes in the place! Everyone was saying his mama was watching over him and would have been very proud. I’m sure Nick felt that.
