Venue // The Rutledge

Caterer // Saladino Smoke


Lizzie + James eloped in Italy in May of 2024. They hosted a wedding reception with their closest friends and family at The Rutledge in Downtown Grand Rapids on July 13th, 2024. Their reception was full of details and decor inspired by their elopement in Italy such as lemons, an Italian dinner menu (an AMAZING pasta bar!!!), greenery, and more. This evening was filled with so much love, and I am so thankful to have captured it for this lovely couple.


Fun fact: I am in so many photography Facebook groups and am constantly putting my name out there for potential clients, and this was my first success with a photography Facebook group!


Lizzie and James are the best. This reception was absolutely stunning.
