Kyle and Lucy | Peninsula Room Wedding
From an intimate first look, to a ceremony with friends and family, to dancing the night away, it was an honor to celebrate alongside Kyle and Lucy as they finally got to live out the wedding of their dreams.
Kyle and Lucy's beautiful Peninsula Room wedding was the perfect way to wrap up our wedding season for 2021. Albeit a little windy, we had near perfect weather and had an AMAZING sunset down by the water. From an intimate first look, to a ceremony with friends and family, to dancing the night away, it was an honor to celebrate alongside Kyle and Lucy as they finally got to live out the wedding of their dreams after having to postpone the year previous.

Castle Farms Wedding | Tim + Sara | Charlevoix
Tim and Sara's wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix, Michigan was practically a fairytale. I mean, can you really expect anything less when you are getting married at a castle?!
Tim and Sara's wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix, Michigan was practically a fairytale. I mean, can you really expect anything less when you are getting married at a castle?!
Sara had the sweetest first look with her son in lieu of a first look with Tim. Her son's reaction to seeing his mom as such a beautiful bride was simply precious. We were already getting emotional and they had only just begun!
At one end of the courtyard, Tim awaited his bride for the ceremony. She glided elegantly down the aisle to meet him. After they said their vows, together with Sara's son and Tim's daughter, they lit a unity candle to symbolize their families uniting as one.
They spent their reception in a gorgeously lit ballroom for their cake cutting, a couple emotional speeches, and their first dances. We snuck them out during sunset for a few more portraits around the castle's stunning scenery. They rejoined their reception with a sparkler 're-entrance' just as the sun was setting and spent the rest of the night dancing with their friends and family.

Marc and Isabel | Intimate Backyard Wedding
Flowing at the edge of the backyard was a sweet little creek, now almost overflowing because of the heavy rains from the night before. And just in the center of the creek, connected to the main yard by a little bridge, sat the sweetest little island. Here is where they gathered hand in hand, for their wedding ceremony to commit their lives to one another.
After a rainstorm the previous night, the drive out to Marc and Isabel's intimate backyard wedding was quite the adventure. Our little Honda Civic bravely made the journey through deeply flooded dirt roads leaving her mud-caked by the end of the night. But the drive was well worth it when we arrived at the beautiful property where Marc and Isabel were planning to say their vows. Flowing at the edge of the backyard was a sweet little creek, now almost overflowing because of the heavy rains from the night before. And just in the center of the creek, connected to the main yard by a little bridge, sat the sweetest little island. Here is where they gathered hand in hand, for their wedding ceremony to commit their lives to one another. They read their vows through teary eyes and were united as husband and wife before their closest family and friends. Marc and Isabel, it was an honor to be invited into such an intimate day and to celebrate and document the love you have for each other.

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.

Jon + Hannah | Ciccone Vineyard Wedding
It was a long awaited day by many involved and we were so happy to be there to document it. From getting ready at the Park Place Hotel with a stunning view, to a perfect ceremony underneath a huge tree at Ciccone Vineyard. Everyone was so excited to finally celebrate Jon and Hannah.
Jon and Hannah were one of the many couples who had to reschedule their big wedding celebrations in 2020. 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.

Trevor and Sarah | Northern Lavender Farm
Trevor and Sarah reached out to us with their tentative wedding plans and we were entirely on board. Especially when we found out they would be getting married in Mesick at our friend’s farm, Northern Lavender. The McCaherty family poured a lot of work into their farm to make it not only a sweet spot for picking lavender, but also a beautiful wedding venue complete with a pretty pond, gorgeous flora, and alpacas!
There is something extra special about photographing a wedding where we know both the bride and the groom. Trevor and Sarah reached out to us with their tentative wedding plans and we were entirely on board. Especially when we found out they would be getting married in Mesick at our friend's farm, Northern Lavender. The McCaherty family poured a lot of work into their farm to make it not only a sweet spot for picking lavender, but also a beautiful wedding venue complete with a pretty pond, gorgeous flora, and alpacas! We had been at the farm about six months prior to stand in my brother's wedding in October. It was fun seeing how different the scenery looked for an early summer wedding.
We had some rain off and on the entire day so Trevor and Sarah made the call to move their ceremony underneath the shelter of the tent. Here they made vows before God and their witness as they pledged themselves to one another to become man and wife.
As the rain subsided, we were able to be outside for bridal party, family, and bride and groom portraits while guest mingled during cocktail hour. They had a food truck for dinner and their reception began with the most epic cake smash for both Trevor and Sarah. Some cake even managed to get launched onto the ceiling of the tent! After the first dances, we slipped out with the two of them to snag a few more portraits to end the night.
Thanks for choosing us to celebrate with you!
