A Snowy Proposal in Downtown Plymouth
Chris knew exactly what he wanted. Before he even got down on one knee, he booked their wedding date at Sweetest Heart of Mary Catholic Church. On January 1, 2025, he surprised Andrea in downtown Plymouth with a Save the Date paper featuring their future wedding date: September 6, 2025.
The timing couldn’t have been more magical. Right as Chris proposed, snow started falling like crazy out of nowhere. It was the perfect beginning to their nine-month journey to the altar.
Planning an Elegant Castle Wedding in 9 Months
Andrea had always known which church she wanted for her ceremony. Chris knew it too. Sweetest Heart of Mary Catholic Church, with its stunning Gothic architecture, felt like stepping into a castle. That castle-like atmosphere became the foundation for Andrea’s entire wedding vision.
She wanted everything to feel elegant and look like a princess’s wedding. From the ceremony to the reception, every detail needed to reflect that refined, romantic style. The best part? They proved it doesn’t take forever to plan a dream wedding. Nine months was plenty of time to bring their vision to life.
Ceremony at Sweetest Heart of Mary Catholic Church
Walking down the aisle at Sweetest Heart of Mary was Andrea’s favorite moment of the entire day. The church’s soaring ceilings, ornate details, and castle-like presence created the exact atmosphere she’d imagined. Seeing Chris waiting for her at the end of that aisle made everything feel complete.
Father Andrew officiated the ceremony, bringing warmth and meaning to their vows. The church’s grandeur provided a stunning backdrop for their photographer and videographer to capture every emotional moment.
Reception Celebration at Meadowbrook Country Club
Meadowbrook Country Club was the perfect setting for Andrea and Christopher’s elegant reception. The venue’s refined atmosphere matched their vision beautifully, giving guests a sophisticated space to celebrate.
Their first dance to “I’m Gonna Love You” by Cody Johnson and Carrie Underwood held special meaning for the couple. Andrea chose this song because the lyrics talk about all the phases of life and how you’re always going to love each other through everything. It was the perfect way to start their marriage celebration.
The dance floor stayed packed all night thanks to their Mike Staff Productions wedding DJ.
“He played really good songs that kept people wanting to be on the dance floor.” – Andrea
Christopher’s mom even made their wedding cake, adding a personal touch to the celebration.
Capturing Every Moment: Photography & Videography
Wedding Photography That Brought Their Vision to Life
“My experience working with the photographer was amazing. She did exactly what we asked for. She talked to me for a couple hours the week before the wedding so she could get all the details and everything I was looking for. And she made all the pictures look very elegant.” – Andrea
Andrea’s experience working with Mike Staff Productions’ wedding photographer exceeded her expectations. That pre-wedding consultation made all the difference. The photographer took time to understand every detail Andrea wanted, and that attention showed in the results. Every shot captured the princess-like atmosphere Andrea had envisioned.
A Wedding Video to Relive Forever
