The kindness in Andrew’s eyes when he looks at Nikki, and the gorgeous smile that Nikki shines on Andrew …just two of the reasons that last Thursday was epic.

This very special couple was married at the Gorgeous Amway Hotel in Grand Rapids. No fanfare, no stress- just two close friends by their side, and a lifetime of love to promise to each other.

These are my favorite photographs of the night. <3

As the girls began the afternoon at the Amway Salon, the boys made sure that the gorgeous details were in place back at the room…

(The kitties were there in spirit!)

Couldn’t resist getting a snap of Paul and Andy hard at work. They were a dream to work with- professional, fun to be around, and courteous of other vendors. Love them!

The Amway team did a fabulous job making sure that Nikki’s beauty was accentuated in every way!

Almost ready, Nikki headed up to the room to get dressed, while Andrew hid away for a while…

At last, the most special part of the night…

Andrew and Nikki’s handwritten vows made my heart leap to my throat! <3

I love Nikki’s expression in this next shot. <3

With a cheer from us all, Nikki and Andrew were married!

Andrew’s father was remembered in the emotional toasts..

And we ventured out into the beautiful Amway for some epic portraits!

Love. this. next. shot. SO. much. Nikki and Andrew, you KILLED it!

..Andy working his magic..

And I had to spend a little time with the honored guests, of course!

With such a gorgeous fountain on hand, Andrew thought a few wishes might be in order…

At last, it was time to go. As we packed to leave, the newlyweds and friends headed to their dinner reservations to celebrate together. A perfect night!

Andrew and Nikki, I wish you all the love a lifetime can fit in! <3
