secret elopement at shinola hotel
Above bustling Woodward Avenue and nestled among history, Tessa & Connor sip coffee together on their penthouse balcony. A stay at Detroit's Shinola Hotel makes for a relaxing pre-wedding getaway, so we turned it into something even more special to celebrate.
Tessa slips into a silky, pearl-laden Jenny Yoo gown and out into light rain. Connor joins her, and it's interesting; being out in the open yet part of a secret. They celebrate with a luscious Sweet Heather Anne cake & Veuve, and it feels like a reminder:
there are no rules, and it's all worth savoring.
