Dost Wedding

“So honey now… Take me into your loving arms… Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars… Place your head on my beating heart.”

For Jenna and Ryan’s engagement session they took me up north to this luscious green property on a beautiful summer day… it’s only fitting that the wedding day didn’t want even a piece of that! Wind, a little snow flurries, and a bitter cold you wouldn’t believe! But we still owned it, and Jenna made the whole affair a winter wedding to be jealous of!

The Doubletree was decked out in a way you’ve never seen before, table arrangements to rival any celebrity gala. All the sparkle, the lights, and a live band to keep things rocking. And really, you have to see their cake topper… it’s the cutest thing ever!

Even though we didn’t have a lot of time out in the elements, we made the most of it with stops on Hamilton Street in Saginaw, Ryan’s business, Bay City Hall, and the 3rd Street Star Bridge. My personal favorite addition being her grandmother’s fur… #swoon

These two are a great match, congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Dost <3

Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Dost

How Did You Meet?

Jenna : We first met in 2009 through Bay City After 6, a YPN group. My company used his (Sandlot Sports) for some products and we started chatting here and there. I asked him to come out with some of my friends for my birthday in June 2010 and that’s when we started actually dating.

How Did You Meet?

Ryan : Through work events.

What advice do you have for other brides?

Jenna : Hire a wedding planner to be there for rehearsal and be day of! Ann took control when I needed her and helped in so many ways!

What was your favorite part of the day?

Ryan : The beginning of the reception where we got introduced and walked through the doors to see our family and friends and got to do our first dance.
