Once co-workers at the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids, Miranda and Michael quickly bonded over their shared love of animals. A few dates, a proposal, and months of planning later, it only felt right to host their wedding day at the zoo’s iconic Bissell Tree House overlooking both the zoo and downtown skyline.
From getting ready at their childhood homes, sharing this incredibly important place with all of their friends and family, to walking down the aisle together during their processional, there were so many intentional choices made on their day, completely reflecting their story together.
