LEEANN + DREW WEDDING

They met through a mutual friend.  LeeAnn immediately noticed he was handsome and kind.  Drew was taken by how beautiful she was and her quiet confidence.  She was finisihing nursing school, so Drew went to Macomb to take her on a picnic. They clicked immediately. It wasn’t a question they’d found the one.  They both knew right away, but took their time and enjoyed dating for 5 years loving every part of their relationship. The two have so much fun together and it’s never a dull moment.  The best part is the way they have each other’s backs. For Drew and LeeAnn, loving one another is easy.
In August of 2018, Drew planned a hike to Grinnell Glacier in Glacier National Park. After a lengthy detour around a grizzly bear with her cubs, they made it to the glacier. They sat next to turquoise blue water with ice floating around taking in the magnificent scenery, and then and there Drew asked LeeAnn to be his wife. She of course said yes, and as they hiked the 8 miles back to the car, LeeAnn told everyone they saw that they were engaged while Drew prayed the ring didn’t slip off and find a new home on the mountain side.
They decided to say “I do” at the property where Drew was raised.  His family built the homestead from the ground up, and it was the perfect place for them to start their lives together.  It was also the perfect place for their favorite people to have a laid back, joyful evening together.  From the moment we first spoke to LeeAnn she mentioned how important it was to her to just have a day that was welcoming and filled with happiness – and when you see these images you will see that is exactly what it was.  It was by far the perfect representation of LeeAnn and Drew – warm, thoughtful, and inviting.  And filled with love and laughter (and a little happily ever after).
Enjoy LeeAnn and Drew’s wedding day…

LeeAnn, you are so incredibly gorgeous.  We really can’t say enough great things about this guy. Both LeeAnn and Drew have such radiant, kind personalities. We have a crush on them. (Roger didn’t OK that statement Drew. He would want me to tell you that.)Their most anticipated moment on the wedding day was undoubtedly seeing one another at their first look.  Drew waited a long time to see her in that dress – despite her best efforts to show him before the big reveal. 😉This is LeeAnn and Drew.  When they are together they are their happiest.  Their joy is just contageous and you can’t help but fall in love with their love.Family <3When a flower girl full-on steals the show, she’s going to steal a bit of the blog post as well lol. I’m assuming this girl gets photographed a bit, because she knew exactly how to win us over.All the flowers at the ceremony and reception were grown on the property which provided such a magical backdrop!First time in history a flowergirl has ever winked at me and posed while coming down the aisle. lol.They had the most charming activities set up for their guests, including the kiddos. Yard Jenga, Connect 4, sack races, and glow toys were definitely a hit!The perfect ending to the perfect day.
