Updated: Mar 4, 2022

Kathryn and Ricky were married on November 20th of 2021 at Venue3two in Kentwood, Michigan. You can’t help but smile when you are around this sweet couple! Their smiles and energy are contagious, you can't help but feeling like you're a part of something special when you're around them.

Phi and I have been head-over-heels for this beautiful couple since their spring engagement session at Robinettes (Check it out here) – and we were SO excited to capture their special day this past November!

From the joyful moment Kathryn put on her wedding gown, to the heartwarming traditional ceremony, to all the wonderful toasts given by close family and and friends; It was a day overflowing with love.


Everyone had nothing but amazing things to say about the way these two bring out the best in each other. It's clear Kathryn and Ricky are truly MADE for each other.

The team taking care of Kathryn and Ricky on their wedding day was top-notch in talent and heart! It was a joy to serve this amazing couple alongside the Venue3two team, Monique at Mitten Florals, The DJ from Moments in time that kept the party going, Kate who did an amazing job with everyone's hair and Leah a fabulous makeup artist; to just list a few... (See their full list of vendors at the bottom of this post!)


My friend, I know you’re going to smile as you scroll through this gorgeous wedding day – enjoy, enjoy!!

Once Kathryn and her bridesmaids arrived at St. Robert of Newministers Church they said a beautiful prayer over the bride. There was a few moments laughter and excitement before Kathryn walked down the aisle.

Kathryn and Ricky chose to wait until the ceremony for a traditional first look. Watching Ricky see her for the first time was so moving. These two share a wonderful love.
