Dan + Catherine Wedding Weekend | Crystal Lake
But what stuck out to us more than all the pretty views and gorgeous florals was Dan and Cath’s hearts. The kind of love Dan and Cath have—for each other and everyone around them—is the kind of love that slows you down, stops you in your tracks, and allows you to sit in every moment with intention.
Dan and Catherine’s entire wedding weekend was filled to the brim with sunshine and joy and all their favorite people together. They kicked off the festivities with a casual and intimate rehearsal dinner to welcome all their friends and family before gathering again the following day for their wedding.
Everything was beautiful and the weather was perfect, but what stuck out to us more than all the pretty views and gorgeous florals was Dan and Cath’s hearts. The kind of love Dan and Cath have—for each other and everyone around them—is the kind of love that slows you down, stops you in your tracks, and allows you to sit in every moment with intention.
It was evident throughout the entire weekend: shown in the way they laughed with their friends, cried during toasts, how Cath held Dan’s face during their first look, or when Dan simply reached for his grandmother’s hand to hold after dinner. The love and care these two have for all their people is so deep and genuine.
It was a joy to witness it all firsthand as we were invited into their celebration and welcomed as friends.

Dane + Erin | Intimate Traverse City Wedding
Dane and Erin’s wedding was not a performance, but an honest and intentional celebration of everything and everyone they loved. We’re so honored when we are invited into weddings like theirs—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!!
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!!

Leo + Maya Wedding | Traverse City
Leo and Maya’s wedding day was so full of joy, color, and vibrancy. These two were intentional about every detail of their day, from a private ‘first touch’ in front of the church, to carving out space after the ceremony to slow down for portraits just the two of them beside the stained glass windows. We left with the fullest of hearts, so thankful to be invited into such special occasions such as these.

Colorful candles burned slowly during the night through emotional toasts, shared laughter, and a dance floor that was never not packed. Leo and Maya’s people sure do know how to celebrate them. As the night ended and Maya sent me home with some extra floral centerpieces, we left with the fullest of hearts, so thankful to be invited into such special occasions such as these.
