Wedding at Nazareth Hall in Grand Rapids, Ohio - Raegen & Alex

These two might look familiar because they were just featured on the blog last week for their engagement session!! I’m SO excited to share all the highlights from their wedding day with you. I still can’t believe that this amazing day has already come and gone and that they are husband and WIFE! How exciting is that!!

Raegen and Alex were married at Nazareth Hall in Grand Rapids, Ohio (near the Toledo area). Let me just say, this venue is GORGEOUS. Wow. I wouldn’t be sad if I photographed here every weekend!! So much greenery, pretty brick, and a gorgeous ballroom. As soon as I walked into the getting ready suite, I knew it was going to be SUCH a good wedding day. I was excitedly greeted by Raegen and her bridesmaids (who were just amazing the whole day!!) which was no surprise because Raegen is one of the most UPBEAT people I know!! :) I loved getting to spend time with them all and get to know her friends even more, since I’ve known her all of my life!

Their ceremony was held in the Grotto outdoors (their ceremony was DREAMY!) and it was seriously the perfect day. It was in the 70s, breezy, with the sun coming in and out… they could NOT have asked for a better day for an outdoor ceremony!! Downtown Decor really outdid themselves with all of the florals… so much white and greenery everywhere. Their ceremony arch was GORGEOUS! Even with all the pretty details, what was especially fun was the fact that I knew so many people there. Raegen is my second cousin so I grew up knowing her! I had a lot of extended family there and even jumped in for a big family photo, which was probably one of the BIGGEST family formals we’ve had to take at a wedding (so crazy!!).

Their reception was held in the Ladyglen Ballroom. One detail I loved from their reception were the buckeyes for favors. It was so fitting because they are both Ohio State buckeyes as well!! :) They ended their evening with sparklers and it was SO FUN to see how many guests stayed for it. There were so many friends and family that ended the night with them! I love it when I have the opportunity to stay until the exit at the very end, it’s so fun to get to be a part of all of the events!

Raegen and Alex, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your big day!! I can’t believe you’re MARRIED and that I got to play a huge role in it all. So honored. Enjoy all of these favorites from your day!! Get ready for one LONG blog post with all the pretty photos! :)
