Heath and Emma | Traverse City Wedding
I’ve known Heath and Emma individually for quite some time. I was so happy when they first started dating — they are the perfect match. So you can imagine my excitement when Heath eventually popped the question and shortly after we received an inquiry from Emma to photograph their wedding!

Because I have known Heath and Emma for years, it was no surprise that I knew most of their wedding guests as well. Even my own parents were there. They had offered to babysit our baby daughter for the night so we got to visit with them during dinner--so fun!
They were married at a family's property right on the water with a gorgeous view. We started with an emotional first look with Emma's dad. Their interactions had us tearing up. How sweet it was to see him look at his gorgeous daughter with such love in his eyes. From there, Emma moved right into her first look with Heath. Heath tried his best to keep it together when he saw his bride, but it didn't take much to get them both crying as well.
Heath and Emma, we were absolutely honored to celebrate your wedding day with you. We are so excited for what your future holds! Congratulations once again!

John and Sarah | Traverse City Wedding
We had such a blast with John and Sarah on their wedding day! The colors of fall were absolutely exploding across the horizon. Of course we had to take advantage of the scenery and vibrancy of autumn for their photos.
We had such a blast with John and Sarah on their wedding day! The colors of fall were absolutely exploding across the horizon. Of course we had to take advantage of the scenery and vibrancy of autumn for their photos. From the loveliest handmade gift during final prep, to a beautifully intimate ceremony, their 10-minute rule, a trek to the Traverse City State Hospital for photos, and a simple backyard reception, it was our joy to celebrate their marriage. To make things even more special, John and Sarah made a short stop at Traverse City's Dairy Lodge to take a few photos at a location so pivotal in their relationship. We love it when we are able to photograph such unique and personal details for our couples. We photographed their engagement session in 2019 at the Sleeping Bear Dunes, their wedding in 2020, and we were blessed to meet up with them this year, 2021--exactly one year after their wedding-- for a beautiful anniversary session. John and Sarah have become like friends to us. We can't wait to see what the future holds for them.
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.
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!

Traverse City Barn Wedding | Ben + Joanna
We have been waiting to post this Traverse City Barn Wedding for a long time. Get ready to laugh, cry, and feel your heart swell. We have been friends with Ben and Joanna for a number of years. When Miles and I got engaged, Ben and Joanna photographed our engagement session AND wedding. So it was an honor to do the same for them.
Traverse City Barn Wedding
We have been waiting to post this Traverse City Barn Wedding for a long time. Get ready to laugh, cry, and feel your heart swell. We have been friends with Ben and Joanna for a number of years. When Miles and I got engaged, Ben and Joanna photographed our engagement session AND wedding. So it was an honor to do the same for them. We photographed their engagement session earlier in the year. You can see that post HERE. After that session, we were all the more excited for their wedding day and we can honestly say that it did not disappoint. Ben and Joanna are wholeheartedly in love with one another and you can feel it emanating from every photograph.
Ben and Joanna were planning a May 2020 wedding when for obvious reasons, their plans were disrupted. After going back and forth on what they should do, Ben and Joanna decided to postpone their wedding a few months. It was important to them to celebrate with their closest friends and family. Instead of early spring, Ben and Joanna settled on the beginning of August. It ended up being absolutely perfect.
This Traverse City barn wedding took place at none other than Joanna's family house. While Ben got ready with his guys, final beard trimming and hair combing, Joanna got ready at her childhood home surrounded by her lovely bridesmaids.
Instead of doing a first look with Ben, Joanna opted to do a first look with her bridesmaids. It was such a special moment between them all.
Because they didn't do a first look, everyone at the ceremony witnessed Ben's emotional reaction to seeing his Bride for the first time on their wedding day. As Joanna's father escorted her down the aisle, Ben simply couldn't catch his breath. His reaction had all of us sobbing. We could barely even see through our viewfinders in our cameras because we were crying so hard! Even now looking back at the photos makes me super emotional.
All in all, it was the perfect August day celebrating these two.

Frankfort Family Farm Wedding | Cameron and Jordan
Immediately after the ceremony, Cameron and Jordan tucked between the cherry trees to enjoy a few quiet moments to themselves. All around them, the cherry trees shone iridescently in the sun. In their faces, the reflection of love and adoration for each other. It was so lovely to witness.
FRANKFORT FAMILY FARM WEDDING
It was a beautiful day for this Frankfort Family Farm Wedding.
Cameron and Jordan started their day surrounded by prayer.
Several months prior, the world changed. Along with it came the changing of many wedding plans. Though they weren't able to have all their loved ones in attendance, Cameron and Jordan were determined to get married. Those who came joined them for their cherry orchard ceremony. Blue skies and sunshine shone down on them as they pledged their vows. It was there that they took communion together and committed their love and devotion to one another.

Shortly thereafter, Cameron and Jordan joined their guests for the reception. In the old barn they shared drinks, dances, and laughter.
We ended the night with the two of them dancing on the big lawn while the sun set.
The perfect ending to the perfect summer day.

Noah and Britney | Intimate Wedding
Noah and Britney planned an intimate May wedding with their close family. When the pandemic would not allow for all of their friends and family to be present, they realized how much more important photos would be for their day.
Noah and Britney planned an intimate May wedding with their close family. When the pandemic would not allow for all of their friends and family to be present, they realized how much more important photos would be for their day.
We were so happy when Noah and Britney reached out to us to photograph their day. We started out capturing their final detail moments and planned to do some photos in the park by the water. When we arrived to the park, Britney requested a spontaneous first look with Noah. It was so sweet that their bridal party was able to witness the moment as well. Their ceremony took place on family property underneath the most beautiful birch arch.
"We have known each other for about 8 years now and have always been good friends.
I used to spend the summers in Ludington when I was younger and would stay with my grandparents... first day that I met him was at my grandparents house when my cousin brought over a friend!
We both remember that day well, and always remained good friends who cared about each other deeply until about 2 years ago when we finally decided to give dating a chance.
We have been long distance this whole time... so, as you can imagine, we are very ready to get married and be able to see each other every day!" - Britney
