J. Love Photography had the pleasure to capture the wedding of Julie Stockwell and Dan Schmidt on the first day of spring.

It was a small, intimate wedding with family, friends, candlelight, and beautiful pastel roses everywhere.

The bride was gorgeous.  We had a great time photographing her getting ready with her mom, Mary, and her daughter, Jaelyn while the chefs who flew in from Atlanta prepped the most amazing food in the kitchen.

The wedding was at the classic and beautiful St. Joseph Catholic Church on Fourth Street in Dexter, Michigan.  The service was performed by Father Brendan Walsh.

The intimate and lovely reception was held at the bride’s parents’ home, Bill and Mary Stockwell.  Romance and aroma from that Southern cooking and all the roses filled the air.

Julie and Dan each have one child; Jaelyn and Jack.  Jaelyn was so excited to be ‘getting married’ and ‘getting a brother’ all in the same day!

J. Love Photography wishes Julie and Dan and their new family a wonderful, long life together filled with all the joy their hearts can hold.  Thank you for the opportunity to share it with you. Dawn and I stayed up very late that night going through images and reliving the day.  It was extraordinary!

As artists and photographers, we are always so thrilled when the flowers, food, etc. are extra special. I will post a few images of the ‘details’ that helped transform this wedding into an AMAZING wedding no one will forget!

Today is Dan and Julie’s wedding. Happy 1st Day of spring!  It is a classic Michigan spring day in Dexter.  J. Love Photography is photographing their wedding at the beautiful, old St. Joseph Catholic Church.

I just went outside to clip some pussy willows.  Maybe it’s because I’m thinking ‘bride and groom’, but nature seemed to be singing that tune too!  Here are a few photographs I grabbed of two tiny buds on the lilac and the fully bloomed pussy willow in a pair as well.

Spring is renewing, refreshing, hope-filled. The earth begins again, with new life bursting forth everywhere.  It may not be sunny.  And it looks like rain for sure.  But the air smells sweet and is filled with promise for good things to come.

I pray that as Dan and Julie begin their new life together today, it is bursting with love and joy!
