Matt & Alaina: A Lakeside Wedding (West Michigan Wedding Photographer)

May 21, 2022




This wedding was absolutely beautiful! I first met Matt and Alaina last summer for their engagement session and although I was excited for their wedding, but I had no idea how gorgeous it was actually going to be until the day of. It was at the always beautiful Bay Pointe Inn on Gun Lake, a favorite wedding location of mine, and though the weather was a little iffy for the first part of the day, it turned out to be beautiful regardless. 

Spending time with couples and their friends and family truly is a pleasure for me. Watching people celebrating the love between two people and just enjoying themselves together gets me every time. The threat of rain during the ceremony didn’t keep anyone back either! It did help that the sun LITERALLY came out just as the party was getting started at the pavilion! 

After tons of photos (which were amazing!), we joined the party and just enjoyed the evening for the rest of the night. A great one all around, I have to say. Alaina and Matt, I truly wish you guys an absolutely life together! If the start was an indication, it should be a blast!

This group really was a lot of fun. 



Rocking the denim bridal jacket for a few. It came in handy as the temps were a bit chilly.
