Ben + Samantha | Intimate Cottage Wedding
Northern Michigan is where Ben and Sam said ‘I love you’ for the first time. It holds a special place in their hearts so they didn’t skip a beat when it came to planning their wedding up North. It was an honor to document their people, their love, and their celebration on such a special day.
Northern Michigan is where Ben and Sam said ‘I love you’ for the first time. It holds a special place in their hearts so they didn’t skip a beat when it came to planning their wedding up North. They said their vows surrounded by twenty of their closest friends and family atop a hill overlooking Suttons Bay. From there, we joined the party at Sam’s parents’ cottage in Northport for an intimate gathering. They celebrated over dinner served by a local chef, toasted with glasses of red and white, and danced to a local musician on the patio while the sun dipped lazily toward the horizon. We feel so honored to know Ben and Sam and to have documented their people, their love, and their celebration on such a special day.

Bay Harbor Golf Club Wedding | Remington + Hannah
Remington and Hannah’s Bay Harbor Golf Club wedding took place on the most quintessential summer day. The lake was a deep blue with a clear blue sky, save for a few perfectly formed fluffy white clouds. Classic white flowers and chairs adored the patio where their ceremony was set up. Remington and Hannah stood at the end of the aisle, stark against the colors of the day while they said their vows to one another.

Inside the golf club: toasts, dinner, cake, drinks, dancing, and late night pizza kept the party going all night long.

Pyramid Point | Dan + Anna Engagement
When we arrived to Port Oneida to meet up with Dan and Anna for their engagement session, we could see blue sky and sunshine. But suddenly and quickly, a mass of dark storm clouds began approaching—all the weather apps warned of imminent and heavy rain. With Dan and Anna on their way already, we decided to embrace the evening—come what may.

But suddenly and quickly, a mass of dark storm clouds began approaching—all the weather apps warned of imminent and heavy rain. With Dan and Anna on their way already, we decided to embrace the evening—come what may. We photographed along the beach, the threat of rain steadily approaching behind us, but these two had not a care in the world—they were totally and completely focused on one another.
A quick outfit change later, we felt certain the rain would cut our session short but decided to adventure to the top of Pyramid Point regardless. Even if we got rained out, it would be an adventure to remember.
However, we were all completely stunned when the clouds parted at the last second, allowing for the most dazzlingly bright orange sunset we had ever seen. We could not have asked for a more perfect romantic ending to the night.
Ben + Samantha | Sleeping Bear Dunes Engagement
How precious it is to witness such pure love and adoration as these two radiated for one another? It was evident being in their presence and even through the photos themselves—these two have something special. To capture such genuine love during this session and again for their wedding, is a true honor that we cannot even being to express in words.
Photographing these two was an absolute dream.
We met up with Ben and Sam only few short weeks before their wedding day. It was a serene July evening in the Sleeping Bear Dunes area for an engagement session and these two made the night even sweeter.
The way Ben and Sam look at and treat each other is something out of a storybook. They spent the majority of the evening gazing into each other’s eyes lovingly, giggling hysterically, and embracing the adventure of the Dunes.

Ben and Sam, the world needs more love like the way you two love.
Thank you for inviting us in to your story and trusting us to document your love.
Blake + Chloe Engagement | Maple Bay Natural Area
As the sun set quickly and the evening light faded, Blake and Chloe traipsed along the beach hand in hand. We spent the mid-summer night talking about all their wedding plans for the following year, dreaming and scheming about all the beautiful details that were yet to unfold.
No one can make Chloe laugh quite like Blake can.

Glen Haven Engagement | Jake + Marina
Last summer, we met up with Jake and Marina in Glen Haven for their engagement session. They brought along their dog to join in on some of the fun—chasing them through the fields, getting up close and personal with the camera, and excitedly running along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

We were laughing the whole night while we got to know the two of them and their story. As the sun set over Lake Michigan and the two of them drew into an even closer embrace, we felt so honored to be trusted to capture this part of their love story together.
