When I walked into Kattie and Richard’s house on the day of their wedding, I found Kattie frosting a cake. That she had made. On her wedding day. For her niece. In addition to it being Kattie’s wedding day, it was her niece’s seventh birthday and she wanted to make sure her niece felt special on her birthday. That’s just the kind of girl Kattie is. I was totally floored by her kindness and her calm.
The weather that day had been iffy – on and off drizzle – and the ceremony was to take place on the east steps of the Michigan State Capitol Building in Lansing. But the skies cleared just in time for an intimate ceremony surrounded by family and friends. I’m always amazed how that happens on a wedding day. I always think it’s a sign!
Kattie and her dad as she walked toward Richard. I love how her dad is helping her with her dress in the image on the left. So sweet.
Doesn’t the look on her face just say, “finally!”?
Their reception was such a great celebration of their day – with lots of dancing and fun!
Kattie and Richard, thank you for inviting me to be a part of your day. It was a true honor to be entrusted to capture your happiness and commitment so you’ll always be able to reflect on your day. I wish you a lifetime a happiness together!
