Detroit Athletic Club Pavilion Wedding

Sunday, August 25th, 2024

As we anticipated Sheree and Mark’s wedding, we couldn’t contain our excitement about capturing the magic of their Detroit Athletic Club Pavilion wedding. The Detroit Athletic Club holds a special place in our hearts, and spending the entire day there, documenting every moment was an absolute dream. From the heartwarming first look to their end-of-the-night stroll in front of the Detroit Athletic Club, every moment was brimming with genuine smiles and full emotion.

Sheree and Mark met in high school and went to prom together. However, after high school, they went their separate ways. But fate brought them back together years later. Their connection was as strong as ever, and they decided to take the next step and get married. The love and joy surrounding them on their wedding day, with their families and friends celebrating their union, created an unforgettable experience.
