Starry Night Barn Wedding | Rob + Julia

This September Starry Night Barn wedding was small, intimate, and beautiful. Like most 2020 wedding couples, Rob and Julia were faced with the difficult decision of changing wedding plans. With so much unknown about what would unfold in the next few months, Rob and Julia decided to postpone their wedding from June to September. They knew that no matter what, they wanted to get married that year and we were honored to celebrate that moment with them. Despite not every guest being able to attend in person, many joined in the wedding celebrations via Zoom as the couple exchanged vows. After the ceremony, Rob and Julia greeted their online guests and shared in the new excitement of being husband and wife.

The rest of their day was peaceful and relaxing surrounded by the gorgeous scenery of Northern Michigan. We snuck out with them during sunset and even caught the beginnings of fall colors in the trees.

Congratulations Rob + Julia!

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.’

Dugan and Michelle | Aurora Cellars

Where to even begin? Dugan and Michelle's Wedding Day was nothing short of dreamy. They have this golden kind of love that makes your whole being glow--we just had the honor of capturing it.

Dugan and Michelle | Aurora Cellars Wedding

Oh. Where to even begin? Dugan and Michelle's Wedding Day was nothing short of dreamy. They have this golden kind of love that makes your whole being glow--we just had the honor of capturing it.

The day started in Suttons Bay at the ever beautiful Aurora Cellars. Michelle readied herself in the gorgeous white farmhouse with her bridesmaids and family. When she finished getting ready, Michelle was the picture of elegance in her classic, romantic inspired updo and sleek white dress. She was stunning, head to toe, as she confidently made her way toward the vineyard where she was to meet her husband-to-be for their first look.

Dugan says seeing his bride for the first time on their wedding day was truly indescribable. It is so clear to see from the look on his face as he turned around; he was speechless, completely overcome with emotion. When Michelle and her Father had their own first look a little later on, the emotions were no less sweet. These moments were so precious and such a nice prelude to the rest of the wedding day.

The whole celebration was teeming with such love, laughter, and friendship from everyone surrounding them. It was truly an honor to capture the beauty of the day: the scenery, the details, and the relationships. We whisked Dugan and Michelle away from the reception for a brief interlude for golden hour portraits. After those were finished and we were wrapping up for the night, Dugan swept his bride off her feet (quite literally) and carried her back to the reception underneath the rising moon. It was the perfect end to the perfect night.
