Our One of a Kind Vintage Wedding

July 13, 2015 By Maria Gavin - 37 Comments

Hello from the newlyweds! Rob and I have been married for 1 month and 1 day and we are still in awe of our magical vintage wedding day. Thank you to everyone that has extended their heartfelt congratulations and prayers for our marriage. We count our blessings every single day and are so touched that people we have never met face to face care so much about our new life together and have showered us with their support.

We wanted to capture the love that surrounds our lives every day in a unique way and incorporate it into to our wedding. Our good friend Brian from BTW Photography worked through our portfolio at lightning speed and we are so excited to finally share some of our favorite moments of the wedding with you today. If you follow us on Instagram, you probably already know that Rob and I had a traditional Catholic wedding with an outdoor vintage-theme reception that was held in my parents back yard. The local weather forecast called for torrential rain, storms and hail that day; but we prayed a rosary, laid it in bush, and left it in God’s hands.

As it turned out, the weather could not have been more perfect. The overcast skies created the most stunning dramatic effect in our photos and we enjoyed the unseasonably cool June air that kept our guests dancing well into the night. As much as I enjoy writing for you, I am going to sit back and let you enjoy the following photos. They provide an excellent narrative of our day without any additional elaboration from me.

    BEAUTIFUL! Congratulations. So happy for you. It looks like what could have been a rainy day turned out to be perfect. I love all the pictures, but my absolute favorite is the one right before the first dance photos, after the cake. Also when you are leading Rob. Such sweet moments captured.

    What a pleasure to see these gorgeous photos from your wedding. Loved everything about it. As a fellow Michigander I realize the stress of planning anything outdoors, so I commend you for even attempting it. May you have love and happiness in your life together.

    Beautiful wedding! Love that you went to Wolcott Mill! My favorite place for pictures, especially in the fall. They look so beautiful. Looks like you had a great day, despite the weather. Besides, rain is good luck on the wedding day. :)

    I loved absolutely every aspect of your gorgeous wedding. Every detail was just perfect. But seriously, the typewriter guest book?! That was just too much. I can’t even express how much I love that!

      Thank you so much Kendra! The big typewriter actually belonged to Rob’s grandmother so it was a fun, sentimental way to keep the vintage theme.
