Ariel & Brad’s Beautiful Grove Country Club Wedding

Ariel and Brad met in March 2015 at a mutual friend’s house to watch a Michigan State basketball game. They were in the same fraternity together and quickly became good friends. They continued to hang out often and officially started dating in September that year. Since Ariel and Brad started dating so young they have been through so many life events together – graduations, first jobs, promotions, and buying their first home together. After all of that, it only made sense to make things even more official after 7.5 years. On December 29, 2022, Brad asked Ariel to marry him while they were visiting friends at Michigan State. It was the perfect day at a place that is so special to the both of them and their relationship!

Conrad first met this awesome couple at Beer on the Wall where his fiancé Ami works and Ariel and Brad are regulars. They all ended up becoming great friends and asked Conrad to photograph their wedding in June 2024. When the big day arrived there was a lot of rain in the forecast, but Ariel and Brad sweetly put their full trust in Conrad and Christy and they still managed to get a lot of gorgeous photos outside (with the help of The Grove’s big front overhang!) Brad cried when he first saw Ariel in her gorgeous Stella York wedding dress, their first look was SO sweet and such a beautiful reminder of the deep friendship and love between these two.

Ariel and Brad were emotional throughout their wedding day, they shared plenty of laughs and tears together. They would describe themselves as “caring and loyal best friends” and that was on full display throughout their entire wedding. After their emotional ceremony we enjoyed a delicious meal together before the dance floor opened. And once Ariel and Brad started they stayed out on that dance floor together until the very end of the night. It was the most perfect day, we were truly honored to be a part of it.

Congratulations, Ariel and Brad, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
