Michelle and Grant’s wedding was so unique and perfect. The ceremony held mid-week was extremely intimate and personal. Everyone gave toasts and enjoyed the incredible food at the French Press. After a bit of rest and preparation they celebrated round two at La Marquise with a larger group! It was absolutely wonderful.
Michelle and Grant are such a sweet couple and have been a JOY to work with. They’re laid-back and enjoy the real meaning of life and love. I am so so so happy for this couple…and excited to share their images for all to be inspired by in this holiday season! <3 <3 <3

What three adjectives best describe your wedding?
Intimate, Unconventional, Perfect
Tell us about your wedding venue(s) and why you chose to get married there.
We didn’t originally plan to get married at the French Press but when Hannah started throwing around ideas with us, Grant and I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. We both love the charm that accompanies an older building. Not to mention, the food is amazing! It was perfect!!!
What is your favorite wedding purchase?
Our honeymoon! We splurged and it was worth every penny!
What is your favorite wedding memory?
Grant: Our first kiss as husband and wife.
Michelle: I think I would say our first look. It took away all the anxiety and allowed us to actually take in the whole experience of getting married. And it was nice to have a private moment between just the two of us.
Did you create any details yourself? How did you incorporate your personalities into the wedding?
I think we showcased our personalities through separating our ceremony from the reception. Grant is fairly shy, so he wanted something small. I wanted appreciate the ceremony for our marriage and not get wrapped up in the details. We compromised on a very small and intimate ceremony with a big party a few days later. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t change a thing!
