Dominic & Lauren’s Timeless Detroit Athletic Club Wedding

Dominic and Lauren’s wedding on May 31, 2025, was the perfect blend of elegance, emotion, and classic Detroit charm. Every moment of their day felt intentional—from their heartfelt vows to the incredible rooftop finale. It was a celebration full of love, laughter, and those once-in-a-lifetime memories that we were honored to capture.

The day began at two of Detroit’s most iconic venues. Dominic got ready at the Detroit Athletic Club, a space steeped in history and timeless sophistication, while Lauren and her girls prepared at the stylish and contemporary Shinola Hotel. The morning was filled with excitement and anticipation as each of them prepared to see one another for the first time that day.
