A Nerdy, Sweet Backyard Wedding | Jayme & Stephen

Jayme & Stephen’s Backyard Wedding in Kalamazoo, MI

Set at a beautiful private home in Kalamazoo, Michigan, these two created an intimate, fun, and meaningful day that stayed true to who they are as a couple from D20 kissing games to a four-legged stand-in for their son.

First Look Feels & Four-Legged Family

Before the ceremony, Jayme and Stephen shared a private first look that set the tone for the day emotional, authentic, and full of joy. These two are the real deal, and capturing that quiet moment before all the energy kicked in was everything.

Ceremony with Petal Toss Perfection

With the sun setting behind them and their friends and family gathered in the yard, Jayme and Stephen said “I do” in a sweet and simple outdoor ceremony. No frills, just heartfelt vows, a few happy tears, and a sea of petals tossed in the air as they made their exit as newlyweds.

Backyard Reception with a Nerdy Twist

Once the vows were said and sealed, it was time to party and Jayme and Stephen didn’t hold back. Think:

• Role-playing dice favors

• A D20 kissing game instead of the usual glass clinking

• Laid-back vibes, lawn games, and laughter around every corner

Their first dance to “Follow” by Shinedown hit all the emotional notes, and the speeches were just the right mix of sweet and hilarious. Classic Catering kept everyone well-fed, and Moments in Time DJs had the dance floor buzzing all night long.

A Toast to Simplicity & Sweetness

What stood out most about Jayme and Stephen’s wedding was how personal it felt. Every piece of the day from the cozy setting to their unique details was handpicked to reflect their story. And that’s what made it so special. It wasn’t about flashy trends or Pinterest boards it was about connection, intention, and one hell of a celebration with their favorite people.
