On a vibrant summer day, Jay and Lainey were wed. 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. Their attention to detail (hello— the little portraits of their pets on the matchboxes—how cute!!) and the love and emotions from their friends and family carried the story of their day. From speeches that left everyone bawling to some epic moves on the dance floor, take a look through the special moments that reflected everything wonderful about Jay and Lainey’s wedding day.

Luke + Katherine | Glen Haven Engagement

Luke and Katherine have a love that is so radiant it’s a wonder to behold.

Our first time meeting face to face as at their engagement session in Glen Haven. Here we got to witness first hand how these two loved each other—with depth, with honesty, and with romantic intensity.

Our first time meeting face to face as at their engagement session in Glen Haven. Here we got to witness first hand how these two loved each other—with depth, with honesty, and with romantic intensity.

We spent the evening laughing hard, climbing the dunes, and photographing the insane chemistry between the two of them.

As the sun set them aglow in a deep crimson, Luke and Katherine held each other close and drank it all in: the sunset, the peaceful quiet of the evening, and the countdown until their wedding day.

Adam + Sarah Wedding | The Homestead

Adam and Sarah story is one of those classic ‘girl meets best friend’s brother’ love stories.

Adam and Sarah have one of those classic ‘girl meets best friend’s brother’ love stories. When Sarah moved up to Michigan, she met her best friend Ashley, who teasingly made a comment about Sarah falling in love with her brother, Adam. Well, in a fitting turn of events, Adam and Sarah met and had a natural spark. One thing led to another and when they eventually started dating, they just knew it was meant to be. Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Fedler—it was so special to document this part of your story!

Bryan + Alexa | Cathedral Barns

Bryan and Alexa’s wedding day was a beautiful combination of warmth and whimsy. With an emphasis on nature and florals, Traverse City’s Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park set the perfect tone for their garden-party themed day. A backdrop of crawling vines and abundant blooms, Bryan and Alexa met for their first look in the walled garden.

Bryan and Alexa as a couple are just like their wedding day: warm, romantic, and full of love— not only for each other, but every single one of their guests. We met them first for their engagement session months previous, and entered into their wedding day with such eager anticipation, where we were once again blown away by their authenticity and kind-heartedness. To know them is to love them and what a JOY it is to know them.

Bryan and Alexa’s wedding day was a beautiful combination of warmth and whimsy. With an emphasis on nature and florals, Traverse City’s Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park set the perfect tone for their garden-party themed day. A backdrop of crawling vines and abundant blooms, Bryan and Alexa met for their first look in the walled garden. Peeking over the edge of the wall, their closest friends and family cheered them on and the celebration began. Glasses of champagne ushered in their guests to their seats, which curved along the stone floor of their ceremony location—the Labyrinth. Emotions swelled as Alexa traipsed down the aisle to her soon-to-be husband. A promise of forever, an exchange of rings, and an exuberant shout of hurrah from their guests as they were pronounced husband and wife.

The rest of the day could have passed by in a flurry, but Bryan and Alexa made a point to slow down, take every moment in together, and connect with all of their guests. We ended the night in the stunning Cathedral Barn, documenting the most lively dance party including but not limited to: matching heart sunglasses, foam glow sticks, and limbo.

Congratulations B+A—it is an honor to know you and to celebrate you. We’ll be dreaming about your day forever & ever.

Ben + Samantha | Intimate Cottage Wedding

Northern Michigan is where Ben and Sam said ‘I love you’ for the first time. It holds a special place in their hearts so they didn’t skip a beat when it came to planning their wedding up North. It was an honor to document their people, their love, and their celebration on such a special day.

Northern Michigan is where Ben and Sam said ‘I love you’ for the first time. It holds a special place in their hearts so they didn’t skip a beat when it came to planning their wedding up North. They said their vows surrounded by twenty of their closest friends and family atop a hill overlooking Suttons Bay. From there, we joined the party at Sam’s parents’ cottage in Northport for an intimate gathering. They celebrated over dinner served by a local chef, toasted with glasses of red and white, and danced to a local musician on the patio while the sun dipped lazily toward the horizon. We feel so honored to know Ben and Sam and to have documented their people, their love, and their celebration on such a special day.

Ciccone Vineyard Wedding | Alex + Katherine

Witnessed by their closest friends and family on a beautiful mid-summer day at Ciccone Vineyard, Alex and Katherine were married by their friend and principal of the school where they both met as teachers. At the end of their vows, they released two beautiful monarch butterflies who gently flew off into the open sky of Ciccone. Later in the day we discovered even more monarchs around the property, hanging out about the vines and grapes–a special ode to Alex and Katherine’s love of butterflies.

Everything about Alex and Katherine on their wedding day radiated with joy.

We have loved getting to know these two and their story over the course of time–from our initial call to their engagement session and finally to their wedding day–we feel very honored to have been witness to a small part in Alex and Katherine’s beautiful love story.
