The two of them decided to get married at the courthouse on their original date, but pushed back the party with all their friends and family until 2021.

Brandon and Allie | Ciccone Vineyard
Brandon and Allie's wedding day began with dark clouds and a heavy thunderstorm but ended with the most magnificent sunset.
Brandon and Allie's wedding day began with dark clouds and a heavy thunderstorm but ended with the most magnificent sunset.
We packed our umbrellas with all of our gear and made our way to meet them at their prep location. They decided to do their first look underneath a covered porch to keep themselves as dry as possible. After that, the rain let up enough to do bridal party portraits outside.
However, when we arrived at Ciccone Vineyard for their ceremony set up, the clouds let loose to an extreme downpour. We took cover inside the barn where Brandon and Allie along with their wedding planner, made the decision to move their ceremony under a tent. Despite the rain, Ciccone was the perfect venue.
Just after the ceremony, the clouds parted to sunshine and Brandon and Allie snuck out to their original ceremony site for their ten-minute rule. We stayed back with our cameras to allow them some privacy while we documented them from afar as they soaked in their first few minutes as newlyweds.
After a while of busting some wicked moves on the dance floor, Brandon and Allie were ready for a break and breath of fresh air outside.
We love scheduling in a little window of time to sneak out for portraits during the reception. It allows us to capture some of the more intimate, romantic portraits beyond the the typical smiling at the camera ones earlier in the day. Bonus points when Northern Michigan gives us a night like this one with cotton candy clouds and the sun setting over the vineyard.
Take a look for yourself to see Brandon and Allie's magical golden hour portraits.

Marques and Kelly | Ciccone Vineyard Wedding
Ciccone Vineyard is set in Suttons Bay, Michigan. The large vineyard is set on a hill overlooking the bay with a unique ceremony set up underneath a beautiful grand tree. Between laughter and tears, Marques and Kelly made their vows in front of their friends and family.
Like many other couples faced with tough decisions in 2020, Marques and Kelly made the call to postpone their wedding by a year. When June 19th, 2021 rolled around, we were so excited the wait was over and we would finally be celebrating with them and their guests on their wedding day.
We began the day at The Martin House for prep photos. We were swooning over the gorgeous interior and all the natural light for photos. Marques and Kelly got ready peacefully with a few friends and family members while we captured their candid moments before heading to the ceremony site.

Between laughter and tears, Marques and Kelly made their vows in front of their friends and family. Their amazing coordinator Meaghan from Fox + Fern Events was waiting with their favorite drinks after they came back down the aisle so they could sneak away for a few minutes alone to let it all soak in.
After their grand entrance and first dance, Kelly slipped away to make an outfit change into her second dress of the night. She surprised Marques with an absolutely radiant sequined gown before the two cut their cake. Thanks to Brian from 2Bays DJs, the dance floor was PACKED as everyone partied the night away.
Happy one year anniversary Marques + Kelly! We are so honored you chose us to document your day.

Ciccone Vineyard | Byron and Phoebe
Byron and Phoebe’s wedding day was absolutely magical. Something about wandering through a vineyard in the prettiest tulle dress with your lover by your side feels ever so romantic, am I right?
Byron and Phoebe chose to save their first look moment for that walk down the aisle. From the moment they saw each other, you could tell it took a lot to hold back the tears. There was no preventing it, however, once Byron began reading his vows to Phoebe. But we welcome the tears! Whether it’s reading your vows, walking down the aisle, the first dance, or simply looking out during the day to realize just how loved you are by all your friends and family--emotions hold a special space on your wedding day and you should welcome them in. We love capturing it so in years to come you can look back on your day and relive some of those beautiful moments together.
After the ceremony, Byron and Phoebe chose the 10-minute rule to soak in that ‘we just got married’ feeling alone. We shot between the vines from far away as they spent their first moments together as husband and wife!
Later during the reception, Phoebe’s off-the-shoulder tulle sleeves came right off so she had the freedom and movement to dance the night away with her guests. And dance she did!

‘To love and be loved by you--there is no other feeling quite like it.’
