There’s something undeniably special about a classic church wedding – the ornate architecture, the timeless vows, and the romance that lingers in the air.

The smiles on Erin and Cory’s faces said it all – they were on cloud nine!

This unconventional venue exuded rustic charm, industrial chic, and a dash of Detroit’s rich history. The exposed brick walls and aged oak barrels created a stunning backdrop that perfectly complemented Erin and Cory’s love story.

As night fell, the factory’s warm amber lighting cast a romantic glow over the celebration. Guests mingled, clinking glasses filled with the finest spirits, and danced the night away. Every corner of the factory was transformed into a photo op waiting to happen, and you can bet the wedding photographer (that’s me!) was in heaven capturing it all.
