A love story that started a decade ago entered a beautiful new chapter on the evening of September 14, 2024. Lillian and Austin, high school sweethearts, rode away in a beautiful, old Packard car after their stunning ceremony for their Packard Proving Grounds wedding. It was the (second, after the big Michigan championship game they went to of course) best day of their whole lives. They must have been pretty dang excited on the day of that game because never before have I seen a bride want to get into her dress BEFORE dress zip up photos!

It was an intimate, fun, and timeless wedding day that I know anyone who was there, especially the Hogg’s, will never forget. The only thing that could have made it better would be if their sweet pup Charlie was there. But trust me when I say that Charlie was represented well! All the way from a signature drink to Austin’s cuff links shaped like their cute pupper. I cannot wait to see this precious little family’s start of a new chapter.

Lily + Austin,

Wow wow wow, I cannot express to you guys how much I loved your special day and even more you two. You guys are so chill and so much fun, the focus of the day was so obviously each other. Even though I figured it would be this way after your engagement session. I am so excited for you guys and selfishly bummed that this wedding day journey is over! BUT this is only the start of the beautiful new chapter you two (and Charlie) get to share together and I hope it’s not our last time being all together! I am so grateful I got the honor of being your wedding photographer and new friend. You guys are the BEST!!

Big hugs and lots of love,

Grace 🙂
