Adam + Sarah Wedding | The Homestead
Adam and Sarah story is one of those classic ‘girl meets best friend’s brother’ love stories.
Adam and Sarah have one of those classic ‘girl meets best friend’s brother’ love stories. When Sarah moved up to Michigan, she met her best friend Ashley, who teasingly made a comment about Sarah falling in love with her brother, Adam. Well, in a fitting turn of events, Adam and Sarah met and had a natural spark. One thing led to another and when they eventually started dating, they just knew it was meant to be. Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Fedler—it was so special to document this part of your story!

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.

Ciccone Vineyard Wedding | Alex + Katherine
Witnessed by their closest friends and family on a beautiful mid-summer day at Ciccone Vineyard, Alex and Katherine were married by their friend and principal of the school where they both met as teachers. At the end of their vows, they released two beautiful monarch butterflies who gently flew off into the open sky of Ciccone. Later in the day we discovered even more monarchs around the property, hanging out about the vines and grapes–a special ode to Alex and Katherine’s love of butterflies.
Everything about Alex and Katherine on their wedding day radiated with joy.

Jordan + Paige | Ciccone Vineyard Wedding
Set at Ciccone Vineyard, rows and rows of vines stretched on against the stunning Lake Michigan view. Jordan and Paige’s romantic and colorful details were vibrant against the cool green of the vineyard all around. In the midst of the most beautiful whimsical floral arbor, Jordan eagerly awaited his ethereal bride Paige as she made her way down the aisle. It is no exaggeration to say that Paige absolutely took our breath away.
From the very beginning, it was clear that Paige and I were kindred spirits. With our mutual love for all things whimsical, romantic, and floral, we knew it would be a good fit when they reached out for us to photograph their wedding. Besides chatting and sharing pretty wedding details and ideas prior to their day, we also met up with Jordan and Paige for the epitome of a dream engagement session at Port Oneida. After that evening, we knew their wedding day would be even dreamier. A little under a year later, we were excitedly making our drive out to Suttons Bay for Jordan and Paige’s wedding.

“We always said that our wedding won't only be a celebration of our love, but a celebration of all the hard work that has gone into our relationship-especially during those long distance days”
And a celebration it was! Jordan and Paige’s relationship is one to behold. From emotional vows to Jordan always finding a way to make Paige giggle, these two compliment and make each other better. They handled every curve ball that came flying their way (ahem pizza for dinner was not the original plan) with humor and grace. In the end, they really embraced the idea of ‘celebrating’ their love and relationship regardless of what may happen. Every single one of their guests also held that same sentiment, so you can imagine the fun party that lasted into the night.
Congratulations Jordan and Paige. It was a true honor to capture you two from your engagement photos to your wedding day! We feel like we have made forever friends of you both and look forward to the next time we can all catch up.

Matt + Rachael | Jacob’s Farm | October Wedding
Jacob’s Farm was the perfect setting for their October wedding. Hints of Fall were beginning to show through the few trees that’s leaves were just starting to turn. Nestled in the woods under a canopy of trees, Matt and Rachael’s guests eagerly awaited the start of their wedding ceremony.
We became quick friends with Matt and Rachael after spending a day with them in Ann Arbor for their engagement photos. We adventured together through Nichols Arboretum and they gave us many restaurant and coffee shop recommendations to try while we were there. It was special to capture them in the city where they lived for their engagement session, knowing they would be traveling up for their wedding the following year in Traverse City. When they two of them first met, they realized that both of their grandparents had cottages in Northern Michigan, within 30 minutes of each other. Being such a special area to them, they just knew they wanted to get married up North.

Nestled in the woods under a canopy of trees, Matt and Rachael’s guests eagerly awaited the start of their wedding ceremony. Matt’s reaction to his beautiful bride walking down the aisle had all of us in tears. After they were pronounced husband and wife, Matt and Rachael were showered in lavender buds by their friends and family.
Later in the evening, we escaped with the happy couple to admire the sunset casting a golden glow across the entire venue. Their guests welcomed them back into the reception with a sparkler re-entrance and the two of them spent the rest of the night on the dance floor with their loved ones.
It was such a joyous celebration and we feel so honored to have photographed the love between these two. Congratulations Matt and Rachael!

Tim + Jenna | Traverse City Wedding
“Tim and I are just goofy. We love to banter and tease each other, and just have fun every day.”
From the initial email, to a video chat that showed their goofy side, to their wedding day full of laughter and fun, this statement from Jenna perfectly describes her and Tim’s relationship.

As we arrived to the Delamar hotel, thick clouds rolled over the bay and it began to sprinkle. But no amount of rain could hinder these two from having the time of their lives on their wedding day. We had the lovely opportunity to work with Chelsea from Grateful Gatherings who did an amazing job pivoting timings and events to work with the inclement weather. The rain let up into a very gentle sprinkle just in time for a few portraits outside the hotel overlooking the bay view. Tim and Jenna then rejoined their guests in their beautifully decorated reception hall for a myriad of surprises throughout the night. From a throwback slideshow during speeches, to a flash mob dedicated to Jenna, the evening was anything but uneventful. Happy guests even pulled us into the dance floor to join them as Bluewater Kings Band performed. After spending most of the night on the dance floor, Tim and Jenna snuck away for a few peaceful moments on the patio where they slow danced under the glow of the string lights.
Tim and Jenna, thank you for inviting us into such a fun and beautiful day to celebrate your love!
