When thinking about their wedding photo locations, we wanted to be sure that for groomsmen photos, bridesmaids, and couple photos were aligned with the vibe of their day. We chose to take their party bus to downtown Grand Rapids so we could utilize the beautiful architecture as the backdrop! The clean look of the bridal party attire was perfect for this location.

Then comes the reception at Leona Road. One of the benefits of this beautiful wedding venue is the space to have every part of the day in a separate area! There is no need to flip any spaces in a rush because there is so much room. The gorgeous modern bar in the foyer is the perfect spot for cocktail hour, and the outdoor patio has lots of soft casual seating.
Once the reception officially begins, they open it up to the main area which historically was the school's gym. Let me tell you, it screams anything but gym now! This space features elegant seating, gorgeous modern chandeliers, and statement wall decor. It's the perfect space for a large wedding and really allows you the space to breathe, and for everyone to have the best time.
