Tori & Brendan’s Classic Detroit Wedding

Old St. Mary’s Church & The Gem Theatre

Tori and Brendan’s classic Detroit wedding on June 6, 2026, was filled with meaningful details, timeless style, and the people they love most. Every part of the day reflected who they are as a couple, from their elegant ceremony at Old St. Mary’s Church to an unforgettable evening at The Gem Theatre. It was a joy for us to capture every moment of this beautiful celebration.

The day began at The Westin Hotel, where Tori and Brendan each spent the morning getting ready with their closest family and friends. There was a wonderful mix of excitement and anticipation as everyone prepared for the celebration ahead. Tori looked absolutely stunning, while Brendan and his groomsmen shared plenty of laughs before it was time to head to the church.

The Ceremony

Their ceremony at Old St. Mary’s Church was both beautiful and heartfelt. Surrounded by family and friends, they exchanged vows in one of Detroit’s most historic and breathtaking churches. After officially becoming husband and wife, they exited the church to cheers and celebration before we headed into the city for portraits.

One of our favorite stops was Rivertown, where we visited a lighthouse that holds special meaning for Brendan and his brother. We always love incorporating locations that tell part of a couple’s story, and this stop added an extra layer of significance to their wedding day. From there, they climbed into a beautifully restored classic car and we made our way through downtown Detroit, capturing timeless portraits along the way.

The Celebration

The celebration continued at The Gem Theatre, where Tori’s thoughtful planning truly came to life. Every detail felt intentional, from the personalized hat toss that had guests cheering to the oversized letters proudly displaying their last name. Heartfelt speeches had everyone smiling, laughing, and wiping away a few tears as family and friends shared stories celebrating the newlyweds.

As the dance floor filled, it was clear that every guest was fully present, celebrating Tori and Brendan with so much love and enthusiasm. Before the night ended, we stepped outside for a few nighttime portraits beneath the glowing Gem Theatre marquee, creating the perfect ending to an unforgettable day.

Thank you, Tori and Brendan, for trusting us to document such a beautiful celebration. It was an honor to be part of your wedding, and we wish you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and countless new adventures together. Congratulations again on your beautiful classic Detroit wedding at Old St. Mary’s Church and The Gem Theatre.
