Dane + Erin | Intimate Traverse City Wedding

Weddings

Apr 24

From a wedding dress and veil that had been so lovingly passed down to her, to getting married in her grandparent’s backyard with one of their closest friends officiating: Dane and Erin’s wedding was not a performance, but an honest and intentional celebration of everything and everyone they loved.

The emotions were palpable as Erin got ready with her girls; nerves and butterflies and giddy excitement in the air as she whisked away her wedding dress to her grandparents house where she would finish getting dressed. It was here that we found Dane outside, greeting their guests with his characteristic smile and relaxed demeanor.

Nestled underneath a great willow in the backyard, chairs adorned the back patio facing the arbor where Dane and Erin said their vows. They practically flew back down the aisle as husband and wife, grinning ear to ear with so much joy and happiness.

Cocktail hour progressed in the front yard with everyone mingling while the backyard was being transformed into an intimate and beautiful reception scene. Tables lined the patio when everyone began to take their seat for toasts, dinner, dancing, ice cream, and quality conversation.

We’re so honored when we are invited into weddings like Dane and Erin’s, so full of life and history. Every moment was thought out and intentional and every guest was someone who played a part in their story in some way or another. Congratulations to these two!!
