On a late summer day near Lake Michigan, our featured couple Khailey and Michael, tied the knot at Elberta Life Saving Station, a popular wedding venue located right on the lake in the town of Elberta, MI. The day offered clear skies and views of the lake, blue water sparkling like diamonds. Both bride and groom looked spectacular, and the day was fantastically captured by West Michigan photographer Emilee Kristine who kindly let us peek into the couple's wedding day and we couldn't be more grateful. Scroll along with us as we look into the magical summer wedding of these two beautiful newlyweds.

The couple shared a first look and had a mini private ceremony where they exchanged vows and written sentiments. You can almost hear their hearts beating as she taps on his shoulder in the anticipation of seeing one another for the first time. The bride stunned in a flowy lace gown with intricate detailing and a long train. Her pink toned floral bouquet matched perfectly, and was such a beautiful accessory. Her groom looked equally as handsome in his navy blue suit and matching floral pin, and the smile on his face that never seemed to go away. The photo below is one we absolutely loved, showing off the details of their wedding bands as they hold one another tight and embrace.

Blue skies and the sun shining down on everyone made this look like the perfect day for their outdoor wedding. With stunning views of the lake behind them, and standing underneath a floral archway, Khailey and Michael were married, kissing to commemorate the moment. As friends and family looked on, the two were married in the summer air, and were announced to the crowd as husband and wife. Raising their hands in celebration, the two strolled down the aisle as newly cemented husband and wife, with guests cheering in celebration. The smiles on their faces says it all, their happiness radiating through these photos.

How fun are these bridal party photos?! The bridesmaids look stunning and perfect for summer in various shades of pink, and the gentlemen were dressed so sharp in navy blue suits and light blue ties to match the groom. The contrast of the two different colors works so well together and is even better amplified with the brightly colored floral bouquets. If you look closely, you can even see a groomsmen kicking his leg up in celebration!

Their reception took place right inside the life saving station and was elegantly decorated with leaf garlands, and all white settings. Guests were treated to dinner and cocktails, followed by an enjoyable night of dancing. One item we can't get enough of is the little dog cake topper placed perfectly on one of their desert trays. We always love when dogs are included in special events! We can only imagine what the night was like, and we hope it was absolutely wonderful. As the sun went down, and the weather became cooler, Khailey draped a jean jacket over her lace wedding gown and continued to sway with her new husband, as the city lights twinkled in the background.
