Kristen & Zach’s Beautiful Concorde Banquets Wedding

Feb 1

Kristen and Zach first met in high school in 2013 via a mutual friend – they dated for two years before they broke up, but remained friends and in each other's lives. They rekindled their love in the Summer of 2018 and have been together ever since. Kristen and Zach share such a beautiful connection, they are supportive, silly and ultimately so loving with one another. In October 2024 they took a trip together to Mackinac Island where Zach proposed and they started planning their wedding together!

I loved meeting Kristen and Zach and was so looking forward to their engagement session last Spring, but the chaos of life (and an early morning fender-bender) meant that Conrad was the one who got to connect with Kristen and Zach to take their photos at Wilder Mansion. We were all looking forward to Kristen and Zach’s big day, it was our last wedding of 2025 and we just knew it would be gorgeous!

The temperature on Kristen and Zach’s wedding day was unbearably cold, but after their sweet first look we convinced them to dash outside of the hotel for a few quick photos before leaving for the venue. We are SO glad we did, the snow and tall grasses made for such gorgeous wintry photos! Christy, Conrad and I worked quickly and took a lot of pretty pictures before we all felt almost completely frozen, we were happy then to spend the rest of the day cozy inside at the Concorde. It looked beautiful in their lobby with all the holiday decor set up! We took plenty of pictures of Kristen, Zach and their wedding party before moving upstairs for their ceremony.

After Kristen and Zach said “I do” everyone was ready to celebrate. The room looked gorgeous thanks to their talented vendor team, and we all had so much fun dancing the night away. It was the perfect Winter wedding and we were so grateful to have been a part of it!
