Paul + Aleah | Traverse City Wedding

Settled in the woods overlooking the water sat the charming cottage home that Aleah grew up in. Every corner of the home was filled with character and intention. Curated with antique ornate frames, old books, and the most romantically decorated rooms, it was the perfect setting for Paul and Aleah’s wedding.

When Paul and Aleah reached out, their plans were coming together quickly with a date set only a few weeks out.

The had a dream and vision and it all came to life so beautifully.

Settled in the woods overlooking the water sat the charming cottage home that Aleah grew up in. Every corner of the home was filled with character and intention. Curated with antique ornate frames, old books, and the most romantically decorated rooms, it was the perfect setting for Paul and Aleah’s wedding.

Upstairs in her childhood bedroom, Aleah was a Jackie Kennedy inspired vision of a bride. After settling on the perfect earrings and grabbing her bouquet, she came out to the balcony where Paul caught his first glimpse at his bride. Later, beneath a colorful canopy of trees Paul awaited his bride. Her aisle: a stone archway seemingly straight out of a storybook and steps that led down the path to her groom.

To create thoughtful, artful portraits of the two of them in such a beautiful and personal location was a very special privilege. We are so thankful to have been invited to witness and celebrate and be a part of Paul and Aleah’s story.

True to our expectations, their wedding day was refreshing, relaxing, and so genuine.

Their closest friends and family gathered in the beautiful walled garden at the Botanic Gardens to witness their vows. For their reception, they kept it simple and intentional. First dances, cake cutting, and hilarious toasts.

Later, we snuck out for golden hour where Luke shared that he brought his vintage red corvette to serve as the perfect backdrop for their newlywed portraits.

After dinner they spent the evening in conversation and connection with all their guests, mingling and exchanging stories and laughter while the sun sank low and the sky began to darken.

Nick + Maddie | Blue Bridge Wedding

By the end of the day we were all sweaty, laughing, and having the time of our lives, never wanting it to end. But alas, all good things come to an end and after a private last dance, Nick and Maddie were sent off through a tunnel of sparklers before heading off in their getaway car—the rest of their lives ahead of them as Mr and Mrs Read.

Dan + Anna | Bayview at Gallagher Farms

Even from inside we could hear the rumbling thunder and heavy rain pounding on the church’s roof during Dan and Anna’s wedding ceremony. It was a quick dash into the trolley, umbrellas in hand, to continue their wedding day on their way to the reception. After the storm roared through, the clouds finally rolled away to reveal the most beautiful view at Bayview Weddings at Gallagher Farms and the sun came out at long last. Dan and Anna were a true testament of embracing every moment on their wedding day and savoring it all.

Even from inside we could hear the rumbling thunder and heavy rain pounding on the church’s roof during Dan and Anna’s wedding ceremony. It was a quick dash into the trolley, umbrellas in hand, to continue their wedding day on their way to the reception. We fully expected Dan and Anna to express their disappointment at the weather, but instead they embraced it and shared a story with us about Dan’s father who had passed. Though he couldn’t be there in person to celebrate them, the rainstorm was a sweet reminder of him and made their wedding day even more special.
