We started the day with a few getting ready and detail shots at the Radisson Hotel downtown Kalamazoo. We then headed to the ceremony site in Oshtemo, MI. It was a quiet, small ceremony in the mother of the brides backyard. I think these are some of the best ceremonies, they're intimate and just the right size. After saying, "I Do" we had a brief reception at the house with food and cake cutting. We then sneaked away to Heritage Hall on Western Michigan University's campus for a little photo shoot. After this, the party got started at Old Dog Tavern downtown Kalamazoo with lots of good, live music and a first dance for the newly wed couple.
