Nick and Amy, Ciccone Vineyard Wedding

Nick and Amy got married last year at Ciccone Vineyard. What a beautiful day it was.

We got to know Nick and Amy during their engagement session a while before their big day. It was the perfect opportunity to witness their love and personalities coinciding. Without a doubt, these two are completely smitten with one another. Even with a rained out ceremony, these two couldn't wipe the smiles from their faces. Nick and Amy spent the day giggling and flirting despite the change in plans. They were just so enamored with each other and the fact that they were getting married.

First look

They met in the vines for their first look. Dark clouds were rolling over their heads. In that moment just before the clouds loosed their rain, the whole world seemed to slow and hold its breath for the two of them. The storm came quickly after, but their moment was intimate and beautiful and stunning just the same.

Side note: We adore first looks and Nick and Amy's was one for the books. In the midst of the busy events of the day, it is one of the few times devoted to slowing down. Your wedding will be here and over before you know it. So whether you decide to have a first look or stick to the traditional route, we encourage you to schedule at least five minutes during your day just for the two of you. Whether we document that moment from afar or not, well.. that's up to you. That moment is yours.

Then just as suddenly as it had come, the pouring rain was gone. The clouds parted for the most beautiful sunset while we photographed Nick and Amy during golden hour in the beauty that is Ciccone Vineyard.

That's Northern Michigan for you. We wouldn't trade it for the world, because in sunshine and in rain, we believe it is one of the most beautiful and romantic places on earth.
