Joeline and Tom’s Wedding by Toledo Photographer Kurt Nielsen Photography
Joeline and Tom were married on September 3, 2011 at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Ida, MI. When I got to the church, I went in to say hi to the bride and groom while they were getting ready for their big day.
While the bride was getting dressed, I took the groom and his groomsmen and family into the sanctuary for some of the formal pre-wedding portraits.
Then it was back to check on the bride, and she was having a great time getting ready!
Finally the girls were ready and it was time for their pre-bridal photos.
Before we knew it, it was time for the wedding ceremony to begin.
After the ceremony, the guests were given bubbles to blow as the bride and groom exited the church.
The bride and groom made a quick exit to their antique getaway car.
But alas, they couldn’t leave because they had to come back in to sign their marriage certificate and take more formal wedding party and family photographs.
It was then time to head to Dundee, MI on the River Raisin near the Old Mill for some candid and fun photos and more formal portraits with the River as a beautiful backdrop.
Everyone had a great time playing on the playground!
Of course, after they climbed up to the top of the slide, they had to come down somehow!
Finally it was time to head to Dusseau’s Reception Center in Temperance, where the guests were already enjoying my Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes green screen photo booth during the cocktail hour.
When the bride and groom arrived, we went right into the wedding toasts from the maid of honor and best man. Then dinner was served, the bride and groom mingled with their guests while they were finishing their dinners, then they cut their wedding cake. After the newlyweds cleaned off the black and blue icing from their cake, it was time for the dancing to begin.
The last wedding formality of the evening was the bridal bouquet toss and the garter toss.
Then it was finally time for the bride and groom to let loose with more dancing, including the popular dollar dance, and them finally being able to get into the photo booth fun.
The DJ from Class Act did a great job keeping the party going, but it was finally time for him to call it a night and say good bye.
Congratulations Tom and Joeline from Kurt Nielsen Photography!
Tamara and Bobby’s Destination Wedding by Kurt Nielsen Photography
Tamara and Bobby were married at St. Mary on the Lake in Manitou Beach, Michigan on July 9, 2011. They are true high school sweethearts. I have been photographing Bobby and his family for years and was very honored when they asked me to be part of their special day.
My day started by getting some images of the bride getting ready.
Then we headed into the sanctuary for some fun and formal photos.
Don’t worry, I did manage to get some of the groom as well.
Their traditional marriage ceremony was beautiful.
After the Bridal Party Recessional, we headed back into the church for some more photos of the newlyweds and family portraits.
Then it was off to Devil’s Lake Golf Course for some more photos and a little bit of golf.
The bridal party mode of transportation to the reception was the family’s pontoon boat, so we headed to their cottage and took a few images before they departed.
Then it was off to the reception at Devil’s Lake Yacht Club, or so they thought! The boat didn’t start!
Turns out, someone, and I won’t name names, left the boat’s battery on all night and so they replaced the battery. Then they really did take off to the reception under the tent at the Yacht Club.
On the way to the reception, the bride ditched her vail and traded it for a new headpiece.
Here are a few images I managed to capture of the reception while waiting for the newlyweds and wedding party to arrive.
After the Bride and Groom finished their first meal as husband and wife, we sneaked out onto the grounds of the Yacht Club for more photos while their guests finished dinner.
It was then back into the tent for more of the wedding festivities, including the couples first dance.
The musical entertainment for the evening was provided by the Toledo local band Skoobie Snaks, and everyone had a great time dancing to them.
When the sun began to set, we sneaked out of the reception one last time for some more photos down by the water.
Later in the evening, the groom and his groomsmen jammed while part of the band was taking a well deserved break.
Even though it was probably the hottest day of they year, it was a beautiful and fun wedding and I enjoyed being part of it. Congratulations Tamara and Bobby from Kurt Nielsen Photography. May you have a long and happy life together!
