Modern Leona Road Wedding | Ashley & Charlie

Happy Wedding Season, everyone! I’m blown away that it’s already June. I have been anxiously awaiting this wedding ever since I met Ashley and Charlie at their engagement session last year. I am beyond thrilled to share this preview of their big day at Leona Road—a pretty cool Grand Rapids venue that used to be an old elementary school but has now been transformed into a modern (and stunning!) event space. But beyond being absolutely beautiful, this day was so special because of all of the amazing people. Ashley and Charlie are fun and kind; the sorts of people you meet and just want to be friends with. And once you meet their families, you know exactly where they get it from! Everyone on both sides were just such a joy to work with from start to finish.

Let me introduce you to the stars of the day. Ashley was an absolute vision in her modern, form-fitting gown from Renee Austin, adorned with delicate lace details. She exuded grace and beauty, and her smile all day was simply infectious. Charlie, with his irresistible British charm, looked dashing in his sleek tan suit and pink bow tie. Their love was evident in every interaction, creating a palpable sense of joy and happiness throughout the celebration. All day long, my heart melted seeing how they look at each other. SO sweet.

Ashley and Charlie’s Leona Road wedding was an absolute blast from start to finish. With the perfect mix of old-school timeless charm and modern vibes, this venue set the stage for a memorable celebration. These lovebirds, who met playing soccer in college, brought their A-game and made their big day one for the books. It was an honor to capture this part of their love story.

Enjoy this preview!

This is Ashley’s sweet grandma. By the end of the night, I’m pretty sure everyone wanted her to be their adopted grandma; everyone just loved her! This is her helping the staff cut the wedding cake. Precious!
