Lauren & Matthew’s Beautiful April Wedding
April 12, 2025, was nothing short of magical for Lauren and Matthew as they said “I do” surrounded by family, friends, and the warmth of spring sunshine. Their wedding day was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments from start to finish.
The day began at Freedom Christian Assembly of God in Washington, Michigan, where the air was filled with anticipation and joy. The ceremony began promptly at 3 p.m., and as Lauren walked down the aisle, all eyes were on her radiant smile and the love glowing between her and Matthew. It was a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony that perfectly reflected their devotion and faith.
After the “I do’s,” the celebration continued at the elegant Paint Creek Country Club, where guests were greeted with breathtaking views and a beautifully decorated reception space. The couple’s attention to detail shone through every aspect of the venue—from the floral arrangements to the cozy, welcoming ambiance.
One of the highlights of the evening was Batch 21, a mobile ice cream station that was a huge hit with guests of all ages. The sweet treats brought a playful, nostalgic touch to the celebration and kept everyone smiling (and going back for seconds!).
As the golden hour approached, we snuck Lauren and Matthew away for some sunset shots on the picturesque grounds of the country club. The soft, glowing light was the perfect backdrop for some quiet, intimate moments between the newlyweds before the evening picked up again.
Then came one of the most memorable moments of the day—the first dance. As Lauren and Matthew swayed together under the twinkle lights, there was a hush over the room. Every glance, every step, every smile told a story of deep love and a beautiful beginning. It was truly a breathtaking moment that left more than a few teary-eyed.
Lauren and Matthew’s wedding day was a beautiful celebration of love, commitment, and joy. From the church vows to the ice cream smiles and the romantic dance floor twirls, it was a day no one will soon forget.
Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs.—may your journey together be just as beautiful as your wedding day.
