Holly & Tim's Wedding - New Buffalo, MI - 5.21.11

Congrats Holly and Tim!! I had the wonderful pleasure of spending a weekend in New Buffalo, MI to coordinate a really fun wedding. Holly and Tim were so great to work with and super nice people. They began saying their "I Do's" at a cozy little church in Three Oakes. I snapped a couple pictures of the pew bows there at Saint Mary of the Assumption. The bride's aunt made these and I was so impressed... love them!







After the rehearsal I went back down to New Buffalo and ate at The Stray Dog Bar & Grill. This was such a fun place to eat, had wonderful food, and was right on the water.






Holly and Tim's reception was beautiful! It was held at the Long Beach Country Club in Michigan City, IN. Really great food here too! A lovely place for the photographer to capture some great photos. Lee, with George Street Photo & Video in Chicago, was a great vendor to work with.

Holly, the bride herself, put these centerpieces together. Again, super impressed! They looked so great, and what a cool idea. The florist who delivered the flowers seen here was Wright's Flowers & Gifts in Michigan City. Their work was wonderful.


Of course, to pull off a great reception that the guests will remember long after they leave lies a lot on a successful DJ. Joe from Monastero Entertainment traveled in from Chicago. One word for them: Success! What a great DJ - very entertaining, professional, and a pleasure to work beside.


At the end of the weekend the bride and groom, their family, and all of my fellow wedding vendors pulled off a beautiful event. It was a memorable time, and again a pleasure. Congrats Holly and Tim!
