Tim + Jenna | Traverse City Wedding
“Tim and I are just goofy. We love to banter and tease each other, and just have fun every day.”
From the initial email, to a video chat that showed their goofy side, to their wedding day full of laughter and fun, this statement from Jenna perfectly describes her and Tim’s relationship.

As we arrived to the Delamar hotel, thick clouds rolled over the bay and it began to sprinkle. But no amount of rain could hinder these two from having the time of their lives on their wedding day. We had the lovely opportunity to work with Chelsea from Grateful Gatherings who did an amazing job pivoting timings and events to work with the inclement weather. The rain let up into a very gentle sprinkle just in time for a few portraits outside the hotel overlooking the bay view. Tim and Jenna then rejoined their guests in their beautifully decorated reception hall for a myriad of surprises throughout the night. From a throwback slideshow during speeches, to a flash mob dedicated to Jenna, the evening was anything but uneventful. Happy guests even pulled us into the dance floor to join them as Bluewater Kings Band performed. After spending most of the night on the dance floor, Tim and Jenna snuck away for a few peaceful moments on the patio where they slow danced under the glow of the string lights.
Tim and Jenna, thank you for inviting us into such a fun and beautiful day to celebrate your love!

Alec + Audrey | Bayview Weddings at Gallagher Farms
Northern Michigan always held a special place in Alec and Audrey’s hearts. Alec proposed to her while walking along the Glen Haven beach. So when the two of them finally began to plan their wedding, it was only fitting they would celebrate with friends in family at a Northern Michigan venue.
Northern Michigan always held a special place in Alec and Audrey’s hearts. Audrey’s family had spent every summer in Glen Arbor for nearly 50 years so she had grown up visiting the area and her parents eventually decided to make the town their home (which is where photographed their winter engagement session). Eventually, Alec proposed to her while walking along the Glen Haven beach. So when the two of them finally began to plan their wedding, it was only fitting they would celebrate with friends in family at a Northern Michigan venue.
Bayview Weddings at Gallagher Farms was the perfect setting for their Michigan wedding. The ceremony site overlooked the lake with a stunning view and a large tent atop a big hill with an equally beautiful view set the scene for their reception. Audrey spent the morning getting ready with her girls in a barn amongst the cherry trees while Alec got dressed just down the road at a little cottage over a pond.
Alec and Audrey chose to save their ‘first look’ moment for the altar. When Audrey made her way down the aisle escorted by her father, Alec was overcome by the beauty of his bride. After sharing their personal vows, Alec and Audrey were finally pronounced husband and wife and the party began.
A live band preformed for the energetic crowd as multicolored lights illuminated the tent walls. From a dance-off to a Hora, the reception was filled with hilariously fun moments.

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!

Will + Meagan | Traverse City Wedding | The Peninsula Room
When the day arrived, it was a happy one, full to the brim of smiles and laughter and tears and various traditions they incorporated into their day. Will and Meagan were easy-going and relaxed, making everyone around them feel comfortable and loved.
My favorite thing about Meagan: Her compassion.
My favorite thing about Will: His openness and kindness. And the cappuccinos he makes me every day.
When asked their favorite things about each other, this is how Will and Meagan responded. And as we got to know them leading up to and on their wedding day, it was easy see this for ourselves. During our initial video call for all of us to ‘meet’ we quickly connected over our love of specialty coffee and were so excited chatting about the vision for their day.
When the day arrived, it was a happy one, full to the brim of smiles and laughter and tears and various traditions they incorporated into their day. Will’s goofy and fun personality shone through during their first look and dances, and Meagan showered everyone in her stunning smiles the whole day long. With a couple like them, it is no wonder how many people were there to celebrate them and their love. Being together and surrounded by their friends and families, Will and Meagan were easy-going and relaxed, making everyone around them feel comfortable and loved.
Congratulations to Will and Meagan! Thank you for trusting us to document your beautiful wedding at the Peninsula Room!

Adam + Laura Wedding | The Homestead, Glen Arbor
Anyone who knows Adam and Laura can attest to how much they both just radiate happiness. From prep all the way through to the reception, they were grinning ear to ear. It was a serene summer day in Glen Arbor on July 16th when Adam and Laura said ‘I do’.
After getting the chance to get to know Adam and Laura during not one, but TWO engagement sessions, it felt like reuniting with old friends on their wedding day. Anyone who knows Adam and Laura can attest to how much they both just radiate happiness. From prep all the way through to the reception, they were grinning ear to ear. Laura has one of those kind and beautiful smiles and laughter that is contagious—we were smiling with her all day long. And Adam is such a fun and laid back guy who adores his bride.
Their ceremony was set on the mountain top at the Homestead with a crisp blue Lake Michigan backdrop. It was a serene summer day in Glen Arbor on July 16th when Adam and Laura said ‘I do’. A day full of love, laughter, and happiness that was a joy to capture through photographs.
