Jessica and Dexter | Downtown Grand Rapids Wedding

This downtown Grand Rapids wedding was an absolute delight to be a part of! Dexter and Jessica are absolutely adorable together, a perfect mix of playfulness and tenderness, so much fun to photograph! Their ceremony was at the beautiful Fountain Street Church downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, I love shooting in that magnificent church. The reception to follow was held at the Waldron Public House, another downtown favorite. Even better is they now close down the downstairs bar for weddings so we had the whole place to ourselves which made for some amazing portrait possibilities! Here are but a handful of my favorites from their day!

Congrats Jessica and Dexter! Thank you for choosing Arrae Photography, it was such an honor to be a part of your day!
