Kendra and Raymond | 08.15.15 | English Inn Eaton Rapids Wedding

This wedding was such a treat to photograph! The couple met online playing video games and though they were separated by an ocean (he’s from England) their love bloomed and on this beautiful summer day they started their life together at the always beautiful English Inn in Eaton Rapids, Michigan.  Their mutual love of video games and all things nerdy was weaved into the day delightfully. I loved all their unique details and decorations, making your wedding more personal with your own style and hobbies is a great way to stand out and include your guests in more of your world. English Inn is one of my favorite locations to photograph weddings at. It is one of those locations that really has no bad angles, which makes my job pretty easy. 🙂 Seriously though it’s so nice to be surrounded by so many great portrait locations just steps away from each other. Makes the day run smoother and the overall portrait time go quicker. Hope you enjoy these favorites of the day!
