From Great Lakes Events Planning

It was a cold winter day in Detroit, Michigan & our team had one thing on our minds and that was SUMMER. We needed to kick the winter blues and welcome wedding season! So together with 20 plus wedding professionals, we created "Industrial Summer Vibes" at a local venue. 

Our venue, "The Eastern" is located in the historic Eastern Market located in Detroit, MI. Katerina Bocci created and handmade a strapless gown for this photo shoot that expressed summer with a high slit in the leg. Our models are actually married and the owners of Birmingham Jewelry. Marina our model got ready with the beauty team at Pink Poodle Dress Lounge in East Village Detroit! Our shoot ended with big smiles and warm summer hearts! We're ready to rock wedding season here in Detroit, Michigan!
