{muriel + ronald} .the trailer

I have spent my life enjoying the beauty that is the West side of Michigan's coast line. It is so rich in color, texture, and depth.

This day, in St. Joseph, had all the glimpses of that beauty. It was simply gorgeous. Muriel + Ronald were such a picture of beauty and commitment and ultimately, I loved how excited they were just to be together. A HUGE affair complete with 20 bridesmaids and groomsmen, a ceremony on the beach, and a family so in love with one another, that one could only describe it as "blessed."

On an informative side note: what I recognized as a "dollar dance" was actually a really cool Philippine tradition that symbolizes prosperity... you'll see clips of it in this highlight film. It was really fun to watch. :)

A special thanks to Karen Hopkins and her daughter who were a great photographer to work with. Check them out at hopkinsstudioonline.com
