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.

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. 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.

Surrounded by all the love and laughter and tears the day could hold, their wedding day was filled with the sweetest moments from the very beginning all the way through the end of the night.

Dan + Amy Wedding | The Homestead

Restless waves and layers of heavy clouds painted the backdrop of this brisk October day. But even the rampant winds could not dampen the joy of the significance of the day—Dan and Amy’s wedding day. An intimate celebration, their forty closest —both friends and family— gathered together for their union. Dan and Amy were so full of smiles, and love, and kept each other warm through it all.

Ryan + Grace | Brengman Brothers Wedding

Ryan and Grace’s wedding day reflected their personalities—chill and laid back with an emphasis on fun. It was the quintessential summer day in Northern Michigan. Rich blue skies reflected in the waters of Lake Michigan as Ryan and Grace met each other for their first look along the bay.

Ryan and Grace’s wedding day reflected their personalities—chill and laid back with an emphasis on fun. It was the quintessential summer day in Northern Michigan. Rich blue skies reflected in the waters of Lake Michigan as Ryan and Grace met each other for their first look along the bay. From there, classic greens and whites set the tone of their winery wedding celebration. Guests made their way up to hilltop surrounded by a forest of trees on one side and rows of vineyard on the other. For the ceremony, Grace donned her mother’s wedding veil and made her way down the aisle to her emotional Groom. After the vows, Ryan and Grace were pronounced husband and wife and escaped for a few moments between the vines to soak in the precious moments. Guests enjoyed the festivities underneath a white tent on the lawn—from cocktail hour to dinner and speeches. After the late evening sun had dipped below the horizon, Ryan and Grace joined their wedding guests and lit up the dance floor for the rest of the night.

Congratulations Ryan and Grace! What a wonderful day!

Mark + Lindsay | Traverse City Wedding | The Peninsula Room

When Mark and Lindsay initially reached out and shared their love story with us, I couldn’t help but audibly gasp. It felt straight out of a movie! We really truly love Mark and Lindsay and their children. Every time we have had an opportunity to photograph them has been an absolute joy. We are so happy that they found each other and are so honored that they chose us to document this piece of their story.

When Mark and Lindsay initially reached out and shared their love story with us, I couldn’t help but audibly gasp. It felt straight out of a movie! Growing up in the same small town, working at his family’s local grocery store together and then reuniting years and years later in that same small town where Mark finally asked Lindsay out on a date. And from there, as you can see, the rest is history.

The day of their wedding was a stark difference compared to their winter engagement session earlier in the year. September 2nd brought blue skies and sunshine—a lovely day for a wedding. Instead of a classic bridal party, Lindsay’s children stood with them and her two boys even walked her down the aisle. Mark and Lindsay surprised all of their guests with a special performance by NUCLASSICA—playing during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and then really stepping it up during the reception! The room was electric and everyone couldn’t wait to get out on the dance floor. Finally, Mark and Lindsay snuck away to watch the sunset on the beach across the road before coming back to a sparkler ‘re-entrance’ into their reception celebration.

We really truly love Mark and Lindsay and their children. Every time we have had an opportunity to photograph them has been an absolute joy. We are so happy that they found each other and are so honored that they chose us to document this piece of their story. Congratulations Mark + Lindsay. Your love for each other is radiant!

Mark + Erin | Willowbrook Mill | Northport Wedding

Mark and Erin embraced all the moments on their wedding day. Starting from getting ready with their respective wedding parties in Erin’s parents home and ending with a hazy pink sunset on the beach, they chose to soak in and cherish every moment between.

Mark and Erin embraced all the moments on their wedding day. Starting from getting ready with their respective wedding parties in Erin’s parents home and ending with a hazy pink sunset on the beach, they chose to soak in and cherish every moment between.

When Mark and Erin first reached out, we asked them what they were looking for in their wedding photographer. When Erin shared with us that candids were super important to her with a few portraits sprinkled in, we knew we would be a good fit!

After the ceremony and a quick excursion to the Woolsey Airport with their bridal party, Mark and Erin arrived at the whimsical Willowbrook Mill for cocktail hour and reception. There was laughter and happy tears during speeches and dances before Mark and Erin opted for a breath of fresh air down at the water’s edge at the end of the night.

Congratulations Mark and Erin!
