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.

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.

“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.

Ryan and Grace’s wedding day reflected their personalities—chill and laid back with an emphasis on fun. It was the quintessential summer day in Northern Michigan. Rich blue skies reflected in the waters of Lake Michigan as Ryan and Grace met each other for their first look along the bay.

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.

David and Alyssa truly embraced what it means to have FUN at their wedding. David looked quite dapper in his navy suit while Alyssa was stunning in her beautiful lace gown. They met each other in the middle of a quaint little bridge over a small pond in front of their wedding location for their first look.
