Jason + Sarah | Timberlee Hills Wedding
I have never seen a bride smile so much as Sarah did on her wedding day. We knew that if their engagement session the Fall prior was any indication, there would be lots of laughter. But nothing could have prepared us for the radiant joy which shone through both Jason and Sarah throughout their wedding day.

Intentional details and memorable moments between guests (see the grandmothers showing up in matching fits!) were some of the highlights from Jason and Sarah’s day. But the true heart was how they showed up so fully for each other and their guests. From being hyped up by their respective bridal parties to a first look to calm all the nerves, Jason and Sarah were grounded and present through every moment. Their wedding day is a beautiful testament to how things turns out when your focus is on the experience and savoring every single precious moment rather than perfection.

Luke and Alayna | Traverse City Wedding
The energy on the dance floor was electric—people were doing backflips (!!!) and pulling out all kinds of crazy moves. But in the midst of it all we were struck by the community, friends supporting one another, holding each other up (literally), laughing, hugging, and dancing nonstop til the end of the night.
At the end of the night everyone came together—bridal party, parents, cousins, friends—to dance with Luke and Alayna for one last song before sending them off.
On the way to the ceremony I asked Alayna what she was looking forward to most. She responded with two things:
1. Marrying Luke of course
2. Open dancing at the reception
Knowing this, I had so much anticipation going into the reception. And let me just say, this dance floor was one for the books: Luke and Alayna’s guests showed up big time.

Leo + Maya Wedding | Traverse City
Leo and Maya’s wedding day was so full of joy, color, and vibrancy. These two were intentional about every detail of their day, from a private ‘first touch’ in front of the church, to carving out space after the ceremony to slow down for portraits just the two of them beside the stained glass windows. We left with the fullest of hearts, so thankful to be invited into such special occasions such as these.

Colorful candles burned slowly during the night through emotional toasts, shared laughter, and a dance floor that was never not packed. Leo and Maya’s people sure do know how to celebrate them. As the night ended and Maya sent me home with some extra floral centerpieces, we left with the fullest of hearts, so thankful to be invited into such special occasions such as these.

Paul + Aleah | Traverse City Wedding
Settled in the woods overlooking the water sat the charming cottage home that Aleah grew up in. Every corner of the home was filled with character and intention. Curated with antique ornate frames, old books, and the most romantically decorated rooms, it was the perfect setting for Paul and Aleah’s wedding.
When Paul and Aleah reached out, their plans were coming together quickly with a date set only a few weeks out.
The had a dream and vision and it all came to life so beautifully.

Curated with antique ornate frames, old books, and the most romantically decorated rooms, it was the perfect setting for Paul and Aleah’s wedding.
Upstairs in her childhood bedroom, Aleah was a Jackie Kennedy inspired vision of a bride. After settling on the perfect earrings and grabbing her bouquet, she came out to the balcony where Paul caught his first glimpse at his bride. Later, beneath a colorful canopy of trees Paul awaited his bride. Her aisle: a stone archway seemingly straight out of a storybook and steps that led down the path to her groom.
To create thoughtful, artful portraits of the two of them in such a beautiful and personal location was a very special privilege. We are so thankful to have been invited to witness and celebrate and be a part of Paul and Aleah’s story.

True to our expectations, their wedding day was refreshing, relaxing, and so genuine. Their closest friends and family gathered in the beautiful walled garden at the Botanic Gardens to witness their vows. For their reception, they kept it simple and intentional. First dances, cake cutting, and hilarious toasts.
After spending an evening getting to know Luke and Katherine at their engagement session earlier in the year, we knew their wedding day was going to be an incredible experience.

Their closest friends and family gathered in the beautiful walled garden at the Botanic Gardens to witness their vows. For their reception, they kept it simple and intentional. First dances, cake cutting, and hilarious toasts.
Later, we snuck out for golden hour where Luke shared that he brought his vintage red corvette to serve as the perfect backdrop for their newlywed portraits.
After dinner they spent the evening in conversation and connection with all their guests, mingling and exchanging stories and laughter while the sun sank low and the sky began to darken.
