Kristin and Galen's Wedding - Part The End

I am kind of sad that this is my last post of Kristin and Galen's photos. I have had such a great time reliving this wedding while putting together these posts.

This last post is photos from their affair downstate. After we finished celebrating on the shores of northern Michigan, we took the party south to Kalamazoo. Kristin and Galen wanted to share their wedding celebration with more people than the resort would hold, so they brought their reception to the Kalamazoo Institute of the Arts and finished celebrating in style.

















This next photo is one of my absolute favorites. I saw this stairwell and knew there was a good photo to be had there.

































Kristin and Galen, a million thanks to you.

Thank you for introducing me to your fantastic friends and family. Thank you for making me feel so welcome and such a part of your family. Thank you for hosting such a beautiful event. You made my job very easy. Thank you for being so relaxed and at ease in front of my camera. Again, you made my job very easy. But most importantly, thank you for having the faith in me to photograph your wedding day(s). I was honored. I still am honored. Yours truly was an event I will never forget.

Kristin and Galen's Wedding - Part 2

One of the most amazing things about Kristin and Galen's wedding was seeing the interaction of their two families. As much as this wedding was about Kristin and Galen's unity, it was about their families uniting too.

This actually wasn't the first wedding Kristin and Galen were in together. You see, they have known each other for quite some time, having first met when they were kids. Their moms have been friends for decades. So while yes, this weeding was about Kristin and Galen becoming husband and wife it was also about the families officially becoming a family. And it truly was a beautiful thing to watch, especially since there were so many helping hands making it all come together.







































And yes, I know what you're thinking. I do have some very photogenic friends.














So yeah, I should have warned you that was going to be a long post. The next one should be too. It's the reception! Coming soon(ish)!
