Frankfort Family Farm Wedding | Cameron and Jordan

FRANKFORT FAMILY FARM WEDDING

It was a beautiful day for this Frankfort Family Farm Wedding.

Cameron and Jordan started their day surrounded by prayer.

Several months prior, the world changed. Along with it came the changing of many wedding plans. Though they weren't able to have all their loved ones in attendance, Cameron and Jordan were determined to get married. Those who came joined them for their cherry orchard ceremony. Blue skies and sunshine shone down on them as they pledged their vows. It was there that they took communion together and committed their love and devotion to one another.

Immediately after the ceremony, Cameron and Jordan tucked between the cherry trees to enjoy a few quiet moments to themselves. All around them, the cherry trees shone iridescently in the sun. In their faces, the reflection of love and adoration for each other. It was so lovely to witness.

Shortly thereafter, Cameron and Jordan joined their guests for the reception. In the old barn they shared drinks, dances, and laughter.

We ended the night with the two of them dancing on the big lawn while the sun set.

The perfect ending to the perfect summer day.

Noah and Britney | Intimate Wedding

Noah and Britney planned an intimate May wedding with their close family. When the pandemic would not allow for all of their friends and family to be present, they realized how much more important photos would be for their day.

We were so happy when Noah and Britney reached out to us to photograph their day. We started out capturing their final detail moments and planned to do some photos in the park by the water. When we arrived to the park, Britney requested a spontaneous first look with Noah. It was so sweet that their bridal party was able to witness the moment as well. Their ceremony took place on family property underneath the most beautiful birch arch.

"We have known each other for about 8 years now and have always been good friends.

I used to spend the summers in Ludington when I was younger and would stay with my grandparents... first day that I met him was at my grandparents house when my cousin brought over a friend!

We both remember that day well, and always remained good friends who cared about each other deeply until about 2 years ago when we finally decided to give dating a chance.

We have been long distance this whole time... so, as you can imagine, we are very ready to get married and be able to see each other every day!" - Britney

Aurora Cellars Wedding | Bryan and Melissa

Aurora Cellars Wedding

This Aurora Cellars Wedding was a day to remember. Aurora Cellars is one of our favorite locations. Located in Suttons Bay, the drive up to the vineyard is a breathtaking one. Winslow the Willow stands tall and proud in the center of the yard as a beautiful backdrop for wedding ceremonies. Just beyond its gently swaying billows sits a pretty pond and great location for beautiful golden hour photos. Aurora Cellars' farmhouse serves as the perfect area to get ready. Those final details, touch ups, and getting into the dress are made even more special as you look out the window to your ceremony setup on side and the green vineyard stretching over the hill on the other side.

Bryan + Melissa's Day

With bright sunshine, blue skies, and a warm breeze, Bryan and Melissa's Aurora Cellars wedding was a near perfect October day. In the morning, Melissa had a first look with her brother and father, the latter who walked her down the aisle soon after. The ceremony was full of jokes and laughter, perfectly matching the light-hearted happy attitude of both Bryan and Melissa. Before the reception, the couple took a quick trip with their bridal party to Hop Lot Brewery just around the corner. They toasted to the new couple and enjoyed their drinks under a canopy of the prettiest Fall colors. We returned to Aurora Cellars just in time for the reception. With a fun and energetic couple like Bryan and Melissa, their reception was bound to be a riot, and we were not disappointed. The night ended in an awesome dance party!

Congratulations Bryan and Melissa! We had a blast celebrating you!

David and Susan | Backyard Barn Wedding

If we were to find one word to describe David and Susan's wedding day in one word, it would be: serene. This backyard barn wedding was the perfect setting for David and Susan to pledge their vows in front of family and friends.

David and Susan spent the morning getting ready in their farmhouse while wispy white clouds wove their way through blue sky and sunshine. Guests gathered and waited outside the beautiful red barn before the ceremony. Stunning in her satin dress, Susan made her way down the aisle to her handsome groom. There was something so beautiful and intimately romantic about the way he spoke so softly to her during the day. David and Susan were at home in each other's arms. You could see it reflected in their faces, the way they held hands, and how he so delicately and gently helped her with her dress throughout the day. The night ended in an epic downpour while guests danced to local musician Levi Britton staying cozy and safe in the barn.

It was an honor to witness and capture their love and celebration.

Congratulations!

Ciccone Vineyard | Byron and Phoebe

Byron and Phoebe chose to save their first look moment for that walk down the aisle. From the moment they saw each other, you could tell it took a lot to hold back the tears. There was no preventing it, however, once Byron began reading his vows to Phoebe. But we welcome the tears! Whether it’s reading your vows, walking down the aisle, the first dance, or simply looking out during the day to realize just how loved you are by all your friends and family--emotions hold a special space on your wedding day and you should welcome them in. We love capturing it so in years to come you can look back on your day and relive some of those beautiful moments together. 

After the ceremony, Byron and Phoebe chose the 10-minute rule to soak in that ‘we just got married’ feeling alone. We shot between the vines from far away as they spent their first moments together as husband and wife! 

Later during the reception, Phoebe’s off-the-shoulder tulle sleeves came right off so she had the freedom and movement to dance the night away with her guests. And dance she did! 

Byron and Phoebe’s wedding day was absolutely magical. Something about wandering through a vineyard in the prettiest tulle dress with your lover by your side feels ever so romantic, am I right? 

‘To love and be loved by you--there is no other feeling quite like it.’

Fieldguide Farmhouse | Peter and Caitlin

Peter and Caitlin chose the peaceful setting of Fieldguide Farmhouse in which they wanted to celebrate their love with friends and family on their wedding day. 

It was our very first time photographing at Fieldguide Farmhouse and needless to say, we were instantly in love. From the farmhouse itself with its stone exterior, cozy fireplace, striking floral wallpaper, and natural window light. To the surrounding property with view of the lake, open front lawn, and huge towering trees. The entire venue makes you feel completely welcome and at home. 

Caitlin got ready upstairs in the farmhouse. She wore a simple dress with a lovely lace bodice and a very special necklace. Loose blonde curls framed her pretty face as she inspected the final look in an antique standing mirror. As she descended the stairs to the main room of the farmhouse, she was simply breathtaking.

Miriam Pico played as guests arrived, each person invited to take a shot as they took their seat. Peter and Caitlin said 'I do' under a grand old tree, decorated with a stunning floral display. Later that evening for the reception, that same floral display was transformed into a garland for the head table.

Lawn games were set up for everyone to enjoy and Peter and Caitlin’s dog even made an appearance for some photos. Guests spent the evening enjoying an incredible barbecue dinner and dancing the night away.

Peter and Caitlin, congratulations! Thank you for allowing us the honor to capture your day!
