David + Alyssa | BlueBridge Wedding

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.

David and Alyssa got ready with their bridal party in separate areas on BlueBridge property.

David’s groomsmen helped him with his bowtie while Alyssa’s mom and bridesmaids got her into her dress and helped with the final touches.

Finally, it was time for their first look.

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. It was here that they shared private letters they had written for one another.

David and Alyssa truly embraced what it means to have FUN at their wedding. After some moody sunset portraits by the lake, they returned to their reception ready to DANCE. It was such a fun day and we loved being a part of it!

Mitch + Amber | Glen Arbor Wedding

Mitch and Amber met and fell in love with the beauty of Northern Michigan. So it was an obvious choice for them to share this special place with all of their guests on their wedding day. The Homestead Resort based in Glen Arbor was the perfect setting for their vows and we were even able to sneak off to the beach for photos with a Lake Michigan backdrop.

As we got to know Mitch and Amber leading up to their day, we found out they had a son around the same age as our daughter! Their son was such a fun addition to their wedding day and the cutest little dancer during the reception. It was a joy to be a part of Mitch and Amber’s beautiful intimate Michigan wedding and tell the story of their day through photographs.

Cheers to their sweet little family & their Northern Michigan love story!

Will + Meagan | Traverse City Wedding | The Peninsula Room

When the day arrived, it was a happy one, full to the brim of smiles and laughter and tears and various traditions they incorporated into their day. Will and Meagan were easy-going and relaxed, making everyone around them feel comfortable and loved.

My favorite thing about Meagan: Her compassion.

My favorite thing about Will: His openness and kindness. And the cappuccinos he makes me every day. 

When asked their favorite things about each other, this is how Will and Meagan responded. And as we got to know them leading up to and on their wedding day, it was easy see this for ourselves. During our initial video call for all of us to ‘meet’ we quickly connected over our love of specialty coffee and were so excited chatting about the vision for their day.

When the day arrived, it was a happy one, full to the brim of smiles and laughter and tears and various traditions they incorporated into their day. Will’s goofy and fun personality shone through during their first look and dances, and Meagan showered everyone in her stunning smiles the whole day long. With a couple like them, it is no wonder how many people were there to celebrate them and their love. Being together and surrounded by their friends and families, Will and Meagan were easy-going and relaxed, making everyone around them feel comfortable and loved.

Congratulations to Will and Meagan! Thank you for trusting us to document your beautiful wedding at the Peninsula Room!

Adam + Laura Wedding | The Homestead, Glen Arbor

Anyone who knows Adam and Laura can attest to how much they both just radiate happiness. From prep all the way through to the reception, they were grinning ear to ear. It was a serene summer day in Glen Arbor on July 16th when Adam and Laura said ‘I do’.

After getting the chance to get to know Adam and Laura during not one, but TWO engagement sessions, it felt like reuniting with old friends on their wedding day. Anyone who knows Adam and Laura can attest to how much they both just radiate happiness. From prep all the way through to the reception, they were grinning ear to ear. Laura has one of those kind and beautiful smiles and laughter that is contagious—we were smiling with her all day long. And Adam is such a fun and laid back guy who adores his bride.

Their ceremony was set on the mountain top at the Homestead with a crisp blue Lake Michigan backdrop. It was a serene summer day in Glen Arbor on July 16th when Adam and Laura said ‘I do’. A day full of love, laughter, and happiness that was a joy to capture through photographs.

Wildflower Engagement | Jordan + Paige | Port Oneida

Jordan and Paige’s wildflower engagement is hands down one of our top five favorite engagement photo shoots. From the dreamy wildflowers to the romantic picnic (complete with wine from their winery wedding venue), to the glowing sunset on the beach

Jordan and Paige’s wildflower engagement is hands down one of our top five favorite engagement photo shoots. From the dreamy wildflowers to the romantic picnic (complete with wine from their winery wedding venue), to the glowing sunset on the beach—it was nothing less than THE perfect spring day. You would never even guess that when we first arrived to Port Oneida the sky was dark and cloudy and it had started to drizzle. These two were willing to brave the weather and we were thankfully met with only the slightest rainy mist. It felt like a movie as Jordan and Paige traipsed through the prettiest wildflower fields hand in hand. Our hearts were so full to photograph the love between these two and we are counting down the days until we can celebrate with them on their wedding day.

Phil + Hannah | Spring Engagement

We met with Phil and Hannah in June at Port Oneida for their engagement photos. It was a perfectly golden sunny day and spring was on full display. There is always something so ethereal about watching the world come back to life after a long winter.

We met with Phil and Hannah in June at Port Oneida for their spring engagement photos. It was a perfectly golden sunny day and the beauty of the season was on full display.

There is always something so ethereal about watching the world come back to life after a long winter. Suddenly the trees are budding, grass is growing, flowers are blooming, and the world is full of vibrancy and color again. Every season has it’s own beauty but I have to admit that the months in which flowers blossom are undoubtedly some of my favorites.

We spent some time learning Phil and Hannah’s love story and witnessing the sweetest interactions between the two of them. It was such a joy to photograph them together and we cannot wait to do it all again for their wedding this spring.
