Shroyer Family | Glen Arbor
It’s one of our favorite things when we can capture family portraits in a natural environment. For the Shroyer family, that was wandering downtown Glen Arbor and their cottage on Crystal River. It was a joy to document their genuine reactions, from laughter, to the siblings teasing one another, races to the bottom of the hill, and ending the night in swimsuits so they could jump in the water and see who could splash each another the most.

We feel so honored to have been invited into such a special place to photograph the Shroyer family being themselves.
Mark + Lindsay | Traverse City Wedding | The Peninsula Room
When Mark and Lindsay initially reached out and shared their love story with us, I couldn’t help but audibly gasp. It felt straight out of a movie! We really truly love Mark and Lindsay and their children. Every time we have had an opportunity to photograph them has been an absolute joy. We are so happy that they found each other and are so honored that they chose us to document this piece of their story.
When Mark and Lindsay initially reached out and shared their love story with us, I couldn’t help but audibly gasp. It felt straight out of a movie! Growing up in the same small town, working at his family’s local grocery store together and then reuniting years and years later in that same small town where Mark finally asked Lindsay out on a date. And from there, as you can see, the rest is history.
The day of their wedding was a stark difference compared to their winter engagement session earlier in the year. September 2nd brought blue skies and sunshine—a lovely day for a wedding. Instead of a classic bridal party, Lindsay’s children stood with them and her two boys even walked her down the aisle. Mark and Lindsay surprised all of their guests with a special performance by NUCLASSICA—playing during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and then really stepping it up during the reception! The room was electric and everyone couldn’t wait to get out on the dance floor. Finally, Mark and Lindsay snuck away to watch the sunset on the beach across the road before coming back to a sparkler ‘re-entrance’ into their reception celebration.
We really truly love Mark and Lindsay and their children. Every time we have had an opportunity to photograph them has been an absolute joy. We are so happy that they found each other and are so honored that they chose us to document this piece of their story. Congratulations Mark + Lindsay. Your love for each other is radiant!

Mitch + Amber | Glen Arbor Wedding
Mitch and Amber met and fell in love with the beauty of Northern Michigan. So it was an obvious choice for them to share this special place with all of their guests on their wedding day. The Homestead Resort based in Glen Arbor was the perfect setting for their vows and we were even able to sneak off to the beach for photos with a Lake Michigan backdrop.

As we got to know Mitch and Amber leading up to their day, we found out they had a son around the same age as our daughter! Their son was such a fun addition to their wedding day and the cutest little dancer during the reception. It was a joy to be a part of Mitch and Amber’s beautiful intimate Michigan wedding and tell the story of their day through photographs.
Cheers to their sweet little family & their Northern Michigan love story!

Peter + Sarah | Creekside Acres
Everything about Peter and Sarah’s wedding was dreamy. Colorful florals all around, a perfectly blue sky, and the couple themselves– I mean, c’mon–we can’t say enough good things about Peter and Sarah!

It was a mini road trip for us down to Creekside Acres, but it was a beautiful day for it. When we arrived, we were welcomed by both of them like we were old friends. Peter quickly had us laughing at his goofy faces and lighthearted jokes and Sarah was a kindred spirit. Both of them were grinning ear to ear all day.
I was shooting through tears during their first look because Peter and Sarah's emotional reaction to seeing one another had me choked up as well. Just look at how they look at each other!
Both Peter and Sarah are avid rafters so it only made sense they had their rafting instructor marry them. It was a beautiful and emotional wedding day all the way through. We were honored to capture their day and their love.
