Novios en el jardin de la Universidad, Grand Rapis, Michigan, USA

reportaje de boda en grand rapids, michigan, usa


Hace unos meses tuve la gran oportunidad de viajar a un bonito rincón de los EE.UU, la ciudad de Grand Rapids en Michigan. Con motivo de la boda de Shannon y Karel, esta maravillosa pareja que conoceréis a continuación, ella de USA y él de Reino Unido, aunque residen en Chicago tuvieron claro que la boda tendría lugar en la ciudad donde creció Shannon, la novia. Tras varios vuelos, conexiones y horas de planificación llegué a Grand Rapids, desde el momento en que Daniel y Sam, padre y hermano de Shannon me recogieron en las puertas del aeropuerto, me sentí como en mi propia casa. Acababa de llegar a una ciudad a miles de kilómetros de mi casa para contar la historia de una pareja que había depositado en mí toda su confianza, lo vivido durante esa semana se convertiría en casi una experiencia de vida. En las conversaciones previas mantenidas con la pareja me dijeron que en la fecha de la boda, la ciudad se vestía de gala para celebrar el Art Prize, un evento donde el arte se apodera de la ciudad, sus museos, calles y edificios. La historia comienza justo el día después de mi llegada, una mañana soleada y un paseo por la ciudad, un poco de ArtPrize e inspiración.


Gracias a Kelly de All Buttoned Up Events, la wedding planner que hizo posible la boda de ensueño de Shannon y Karel en Grand Rapids. Desde la barbacoa de bienvenida hasta el último detalle, descubre la elegancia y profesionalidad que caracterizó este evento. ¡Descubre la historia detrás de una boda perfecta!
