Elicia and Thomas | 05.22.15 | Blue Dress Barn Wedding Photography

It wasn’t hard to love this wedding, gorgeous day, adorable and sweet couple, and The Blue Dress Barn in Benton Harbor (one of my all time favorite locations to photograph).  The Bride and Groom put a lot of their own creative touches and hard work into creating this lovely wedding.  Stella Event Design was there to help setup and keep the day on track, and did a wonderful job! An amazing country feast was prepared by Chuck’s Southern Comfort Cafe, and was absolutely delicious.  The dance floor was hopping with Mike Dutkewych from Soul Deep spinning vinyl.  It was a wonderful day to marry the love of your life and it was easy to see Elicia and Thomas found the perfect match in each other. I hope you enjoy these few from their day.
