Jessie + Michael's Wedding at The Gramercy at Lakeside Manor

Jessie and Mike’s September wedding at The Gramercy at Lakeside Manor was beautiful and filled with so much love!

Jessie was all smiles when we arrived at bride prep. Having been planning the wedding for about 2 years, Jessie was so excited about her and Mike’s big day. The bridal details were so elegant and very pretty. We had fun photographing all the lovely pieces that Jessie and Mike found essential for us to capture. The details of Jessie and Mike’s wedding consisted of dusty rose, pearl accents, silver, and gold. The Flower Bar did a fantastic job creating Jessie’s dream bouquet for her wedding. Ivory flowers with a hint of blush pink filled the bouquet and complimented the rest of the details. Jessie’s makeup, by Kelly McGee, was absolutely stunning – bold eyeshadow accentuated her gorgeous hazel eyes, and she went with a dark pink matte lip. The Style Room created a vintage wave in Jesse’s hair and added a beautiful side piece to lift some hair off her face. Jessie’s four bridesmaids joined her on the bed in their getting ready space for a cute sneaker shot! Jessie gifted her girls blush converse sneakers that matched their silk bridesmaids robes. Jessie wore a white silk bridal robe with matching white converse sneakers. Giggles and laughter filled the space as we photographed the love between the friends. Time to get into her wedding dress from Hearts For You Bridal! Wearing floor-length dusty rose bridal dresses, her four bridesmaids helped Jessie into her form-fitted beautiful Stella York wedding dress. She looked absolutely breathtaking!!!

Mike was so excited to see Jessie for the first time. Getting himself ready, his five groomsmen wore matching navy tuxedos with blush pink ties, blush pink pocket square, and brown suede shoes. During prep, Mike handed the guys a gift and inside was matching watches that the guys wore for the wedding day. What a special gift! Mike had on a matching Azaria Bridal navy suit with a white paisley tie.

Jessie and Mike had a lovely ceremony outside in the courtyard. Jessie and Mike decided to stick to a more traditional first look and saw each other for the first time as Jessie walked down the aisle. Joyful tears flowed as Mike saw his bride for the first time. It was an emotional moment for everyone. The ceremony was beautiful; excited cheers filled the air as Jessie and Mike were pronounced husband and wife.

During their romantic portraits, Jessie had a surprise planned for Mike! The Limelight team, along with the team at the Gramercy, helped Jessie surprise her new husband with a very special gift. Waiting in the courtyard, Mike had his back turned as Jessie approaches him holding a Gibson guitar – one that Mike has been eyeing for some time!! Shocked, surprised, and VERY excited… Mike went up to Jessie and hugged her tight. It was the cutest moment!!!

Just married… now it was time to party!! Loved ones filled the reception space and danced the entire night away. This is It Entertainment blasted music and got everyone up on their feet dancing along with the bride and groom. It was indeed a day for celebration!!

Congratulations, Jessie and Mike! We are so honored to have been a part of your wedding day!!
