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.

Harbor Springs Elopement | George + Chelsea
Both George and Chelsea are competitive sailors so it was really important for them to incorporate this in their elopement photos. Their friend took us out in a boat while George and Chelsea sailed beautifully across the water in their stunning sailboat. It was such a fun and unique experience for us and we were so glad to capture something so special to the two of them.
We were so honored to photograph this unique and intimate elopement in Harbor Springs for George and Chelsea. We met the at their house where they were getting ready for their first look. Underneath the willow tree, Chelsea approached her soon to be husband and called out his name. George turned around and breathlessly took his bride in, resulting in the sweetest happy tears between them both. Their pups joined them a few moments later for a couple portraits before we set off for the vows.
Their friend officiated the ceremony for them on the water and behind them, at the end of the dock, sat their sailboat waiting.

Afterward, we wrapped up with some portraits at the yacht club before the two of them rode their bikes downtown as they headed toward the restaurant for their intimate dinner for two.
Port Oneida Beach Portraits | Weston
Weston is a local songwriter and he wanted some updated photos to release with his upcoming song.
These beach portraits are extra special because we got to photograph Miles' cousin, Weston and his dog Elliot. Weston is a local songwriter and he wanted some updated photos to release with his upcoming song.
We almost rescheduled because of the weather. We had extremely dark clouds, harsh wind, and the threat of rain looming overhead. At the last minute, we decided to make the drive out to Port Oneida anyway and make the portraits happen no matter what. We are so thankful we did because we ended the night with the most spectacular sunset and it was the perfect backdrop for these beach portraits.
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?!

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.

Langley Senior Portraits | Port Oneida
We loved photographing the beautiful Langley in Port Oneida for her senior portraits. We adventured around the area to take photos everywhere from an old historic schoolhouse, to a field full of Queen Anne's lace, and eventually ending up at the beach. Because on stunning summer nights in Northern Michigan, we often find ourselves at the beach.

Maternity Portraits | Bill and Michelle
We photographed Bill and Michelle's Maternity Portraits on a gorgeous September morning. We met them a couple hours after sunrise, and though it was a bit chilly with the wind, it was the perfect golden morning. It was an honor to capture their growing family.
