Happy first anniversary to these beauties! Zaynib + Brigid had the most incredible colorful floral filled Whiskey Factory wedding last January. Their day had all of my favorite things: relaxed day, all the love and of course color. It could have been a scosche warmer (damn you Michigan winters!). But honestly the bitter cold gave me one of my favorite images of 2022. The one above of Zaynib vulnerably looking at the camera while Brigid keeps her warm with her jacket is probably one of my favorite photos ever. It was freezing and quiet. This depicts it all in such a tender way.

Ok enough about photo stuff, their day was perfect. Just all of their favorite people in one room showering them with love. They laughed and danced and cried and it was everything. Here’s more about this beautiful couple:

Zaynib - Registered Nurse

Brigid - technical support/account management

Their wedding in three words: Whimsical, energetic, loving

Zaynib's favorite memory of the day: First looks! She looked beautiful and being near her again helped calm my nerves and warm me up. Even though it was like 4 degrees outside.

Brigid's favorite memory of the day: Honestly, probably being downstairs after the cocktail hour. I finally got to look and speak with just Zaynib - no more ceremony stress, no more running to greet as many people as possible, just us. Then we took a shot with the Whiskey Factory staff and it felt like the perfect moment, let go of the anxiety and start of the party.

Wedding planning advice for newly engaged couples: Try to make decisions together and be willing to bend and change as the process goes along because then it’s not so frustrating when things need to change (thanks to COVID). And either way it’ll end up being the most perfect day!
