Ballroom at McKay Wedding | Brooklynn & Jake
The Ballroom at McKay wedding venue, nestled in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids, is a venue where history meets grandeur. Photographing Brooklynn and Jake’s winter wedding here was such an honor.
Portraits at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel
One of the benefits of the Ballroom at McKay wedding venue is close access to Amway Grand Plaza Hotel. Since it was a windy, cold day, we coordinated with the Amway for bridal portraits. The architectural detail of the lobby and the moody interior corridors offered a different editorial scene for Brooklynn and Jake’s portraits.
About the Ballroom at McKay
Located near the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in downtown Grand Rapids, the Ballroom at McKay is a study in classical elegance. We’re talking soaring ceilings, ornate architectural details, and a ballroom floor that was made for a first dance. The golden chandeliers are one of my favorite features – photographically speaking, they are everything.
The venue’s black-and-white checkered dance floor paired against warm, amber chandelier light creates a contrast that is genuinely cinematic. For a February wedding, the richness of that interior warmth made every single frame feel intentional and alive.
