A Fall Affair at Addison Oaks | Rachel + Justin

Rachel and Justin’s wedding day at Addison Oaks was nothing short of perfect. October 25, 2025, gifted us with the quintessential fall day: crisp air, golden light, and the vibrant autumn colors that make Michigan weddings so breathtaking. The grounds of Addison Oaks were glowing with shades of amber and gold, creating a stunning backdrop for every moment we captured.

The Ceremony

Their ceremony was a traditional Greek service filled with meaningful customs and symbolism. It was beautiful to witness and document, as every part reflected their deep love and commitment. After the ceremony, we returned to Addison Oaks for their reception, and what a celebration it was!

The Celebration

Rachel’s room reveal was particularly special. As someone who works with Beautiful Day Planning on wedding weekends, she poured her heart into every detail. Seeing her reaction to the finished space was truly magical. From the florals to the lighting, every element came together perfectly.
