The nontraditional bridal gown sparkled with beaded accents and metallic, antique gold and bronze lace. The matron of honor contrasted the bride in a light, taupe layered dress. While the Jr. Bridesmaid and flower girl wore brown satin gowns with a taupe ribbon and broach which echoed the bride's hairpiece.

On of the most beautiful weddings I have ever attended. I was skeptical when I saw it was in Detroit, but it was in a great area and was perfect! Hard to plan a wedding to this caliber!

What a beautiful wedding! It's interesting that you were so keen on modern rings but wanted a vintage feel about the rest of the wedding and it all works so well. It was great to meet you both when you came up to New York to select your rings. Best, Catherine Iskiw

As beautiful as these pictures are, it is simply impossible to capture on paper all the beauty behind this memorable wedding. The love and joy present on that very special day will live forever in the hearts of those who witnessed God's miracle in joining this wonderful couple together to live their lives as one going forward. Now that is a picture that will last a lifetime.
