Last weekend, we had what we refer to in the wedding photography industry as a “double header” meaning that we had a wedding both Friday and Saturday. While Friday we stayed local, on Saturday we got to explore an appease some of our wunderlust by visiting Holly, Michigan. Kelsey and Bill tied the knot on the most beautiful and perfect autumn day, and we got to be their Holly Grand Belle Wedding Photographer team for the afternoon. 

The Grand Belle is a beautiful barn wedding venue outside Metro Detroit that’s located on 2 acres of picturesque countryside. Their ceremony was outdoors and stunning. The colors that the wedding party wore are our personal favorite for the season, and coordinated perfectly with the season and the location. Kelsey looked absolutely breathtaking, her vintage looking lace gown was gorgeous, and she looked so classically beautiful, like the epitome of a fall bride. Bill looked so handsome too, and when the two of them finally saw each other they lit up from head to toe; their love was so sweet to witness. Bill even gave her a little dip kiss at the end of the aisle, and we love to see it (unprompted, at that!)

The details around the barn were great too- we loved the handmade candles that were given as favors, the wall of personal photos of their relationship, the photo books, and so much more. We got to take the out after their (very delicious) BBQ dinner and do some more couple photographs with the two of them too, which always leaves us feeling like a complete wedding day was captured, because their focus was on their love too in an intimate way, even with two photographers there to document it.

We loved venturing out to be their Holly Grand Belle Wedding Photographer team. If you’re looking for a barn venue in Metro Detroit (and also a super-cool photographer team) we’d love to return and capture more love stories there.
