Jane + Ben | Romantic Traverse City Wedding
Their wedding day was an overflow of all these good things. Watching the two of them together and everyone surrounding them, it was clearer than ever that God brought them together and it was always meant to be, Jane and Ben.
I remember when Jane first told me about Ben.
Soon after, I had her over for coffee and we talked about the first time they met. Her eyes lit up as she described their very first date.
Later on, we had the two of them over and talked for hours over homemade pizza and wine. We bonded over our mutual love of coffee, people, and Jesus. Late into the night, as we sat around the dining table, they shared their story with us once again.

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.

Matt + Rachael | Jacob’s Farm | October Wedding
Jacob’s Farm was the perfect setting for their October wedding. Hints of Fall were beginning to show through the few trees that’s leaves were just starting to turn. Nestled in the woods under a canopy of trees, Matt and Rachael’s guests eagerly awaited the start of their wedding ceremony.
We became quick friends with Matt and Rachael after spending a day with them in Ann Arbor for their engagement photos. We adventured together through Nichols Arboretum and they gave us many restaurant and coffee shop recommendations to try while we were there. It was special to capture them in the city where they lived for their engagement session, knowing they would be traveling up for their wedding the following year in Traverse City. When they two of them first met, they realized that both of their grandparents had cottages in Northern Michigan, within 30 minutes of each other. Being such a special area to them, they just knew they wanted to get married up North.

Nestled in the woods under a canopy of trees, Matt and Rachael’s guests eagerly awaited the start of their wedding ceremony. Matt’s reaction to his beautiful bride walking down the aisle had all of us in tears. After they were pronounced husband and wife, Matt and Rachael were showered in lavender buds by their friends and family.
Later in the evening, we escaped with the happy couple to admire the sunset casting a golden glow across the entire venue. Their guests welcomed them back into the reception with a sparkler re-entrance and the two of them spent the rest of the night on the dance floor with their loved ones.
It was such a joyous celebration and we feel so honored to have photographed the love between these two. Congratulations Matt and Rachael!

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.

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 + 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.

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!

Intimate Wedding | Jake and Kristi
This intimate wedding at Sleeping Bear Dunes is one we will likely remember forever. Jake and Kristi gathered with seventeen of their closest friends and family including their own two precious boys. The day was absolutely brimming with emotions.
This intimate wedding at Sleeping Bear Dunes is one we will likely remember forever.
Jake and Kristi gathered with seventeen of their closest friends and family including their own two precious boys. The day was absolutely brimming with emotions. From the start when Kristi made her way down the sand to meet Jake for their first look, we couldn’t help finding ourselves tearing up at the moment. The two boys were so eager to love on their parents during this special day and we got to witness and document all the love and laughter the family shared. It’s impossible not to find myself smiling even now going through the photos and reminiscing about the sweet relationship they all had.
With toes perhaps a little sandy, we made our way over to the peaceful North Bar overlook for their vows. Jake and Kristi committed to a lifetime of loving and choosing not only each other, but their children as well. That quiet platform held not a single dry eye as the two became husband and wife. A champagne toast and dried flower confetti were the final ceremonious to-dos before heading to their reception.
Later that night, we tried to catch the sunset. We were met with the most epic thunderstorm instead. Jake and Kristi took it in stride which perfectly encompasses just how easy-going they were. Even a thunderstorm for golden hour photos still had Kristi giddy. They stood out against the dark grey storm clouds, almost glowing with brightness as they made their way barefoot down to the beach, thunder rumbling ominously all around.
Jake and Kristi, thank you for allowing us to take part in your intimate wedding, treating us like family, and having a love that is so genuine and real on display.
