Trevor and Sarah | Northern Lavender Farm

Trevor and Sarah reached out to us with their tentative wedding plans and we were entirely on board. Especially when we found out they would be getting married in Mesick at our friend’s farm, Northern Lavender. The McCaherty family poured a lot of work into their farm to make it not only a sweet spot for picking lavender, but also a beautiful wedding venue complete with a pretty pond, gorgeous flora, and alpacas!

There is something extra special about photographing a wedding where we know both the bride and the groom. Trevor and Sarah reached out to us with their tentative wedding plans and we were entirely on board. Especially when we found out they would be getting married in Mesick at our friend's farm, Northern Lavender. The McCaherty family poured a lot of work into their farm to make it not only a sweet spot for picking lavender, but also a beautiful wedding venue complete with a pretty pond, gorgeous flora, and alpacas! We had been at the farm about six months prior to stand in my brother's wedding in October. It was fun seeing how different the scenery looked for an early summer wedding.

We had some rain off and on the entire day so Trevor and Sarah made the call to move their ceremony underneath the shelter of the tent. Here they made vows before God and their witness as they pledged themselves to one another to become man and wife.

As the rain subsided, we were able to be outside for bridal party, family, and bride and groom portraits while guest mingled during cocktail hour. They had a food truck for dinner and their reception began with the most epic cake smash for both Trevor and Sarah. Some cake even managed to get launched onto the ceiling of the tent! After the first dances, we slipped out with the two of them to snag a few more portraits to end the night.

Thanks for choosing us to celebrate with you!

Marques and Kelly | Ciccone Vineyard Wedding

Ciccone Vineyard is set in Suttons Bay, Michigan. The large vineyard is set on a hill overlooking the bay with a unique ceremony set up underneath a beautiful grand tree. Between laughter and tears, Marques and Kelly made their vows in front of their friends and family.

Like many other couples faced with tough decisions in 2020, Marques and Kelly made the call to postpone their wedding by a year. When June 19th, 2021 rolled around, we were so excited the wait was over and we would finally be celebrating with them and their guests on their wedding day.

We began the day at The Martin House for prep photos. We were swooning over the gorgeous interior and all the natural light for photos. Marques and Kelly got ready peacefully with a few friends and family members while we captured their candid moments before heading to the ceremony site.

Ciccone Vineyard is set in Suttons Bay, Michigan. The large vineyard is set on a hill overlooking the bay with a unique ceremony set up underneath a beautiful grand tree. Between laughter and tears, Marques and Kelly made their vows in front of their friends and family. Their amazing coordinator Meaghan from Fox + Fern Events was waiting with their favorite drinks after they came back down the aisle so they could sneak away for a few minutes alone to let it all soak in.

After their grand entrance and first dance, Kelly slipped away to make an outfit change into her second dress of the night. She surprised Marques with an absolutely radiant sequined gown before the two cut their cake. Thanks to Brian from 2Bays DJs, the dance floor was PACKED as everyone partied the night away.

Happy one year anniversary Marques + Kelly! We are so honored you chose us to document your day.

Frenkli and Emily | Brengman Brothers Winery

Frenkli and Emily were surrounded by some of the closest family and friends that day who were so excited to cheer on and celebrate the couple. Everyone stood and whooped and hollered as they made their way into the reception for the cake cutting and first dance. After dinner, they transitioned into a surprise traditional Albanian dance for all of the Albanian guests on Frenkli’s side of the family.

We celebrated Frenkli and Emily on a gorgeous June day at Brengman Brothers Winery. The entire team of vendors did an incredible job setting up and making everything so beautiful. From the decorated tent, to the blue sky and crawling vines at the winery itself, we were practically speechless when we arrived and saw the stunning setting.

At the top of the hill, Frenkli waited eagerly for his bride. They opted out of a first look and instead chose to see each other for the first time at the aisle. As Emily made her way through the vineyard toward her groom, everyone collectively held their breath. A radiant sight, she glided down the aisle to say her vows. There was laughter and tears of happiness throughout and just look at the pure joy captured on their faces as they ran back down the aisle after saying 'I do'. After a few portraits, Emily changed into her second wedding dress to surprise Frenkli and he had the sweetest reaction. Aren't they just the cutest?

There was so much energy in the tent as everyone danced, even we couldn't resist dancing a bit while capturing all the fun.

Frenkli and Emily, it was an absolute blast celebrating your wedding day with you. May you never stop having fun together!

Mackinac Island Proposal | Michael + Caitlin

We were so excited to learn that Michael’s surprise Mackinac Island proposal. It was the most perfect day and lovely ferry ride to the island. We had blue sky and lilacs blooming all around the island. We arrived quite a bit early in order to soak in the beauty of the island ourselves, and to scout out the ideal position for the actual proposal.

We were so excited to learn that Michael's surprise Mackinac Island proposal would almost perfectly coordinate with our trip to Mackinaw City for a wedding a few days prior. After we finalized some details with Michael, we decided to plan on staying a few extra days after the wedding so we could be there for Michael and Caitlin's special moment. It was the most perfect day and lovely ferry ride to the island. We had blue sky and lilacs blooming all around the island. We arrived quite a bit early in order to soak in the beauty of the island ourselves, and to scout out the ideal position for the actual proposal. We sneakily texted with Michael all throughout the day and sent him some photos and videos on how to access the spot. And then.. we waited. Lots of people passed through the small garden that afternoon, but thankfully Michael had sent us a couple photos of him and Caitlin so we knew exactly who to look for. When they finally came around the corner of the garden, Miles and I walked around and posed as a normal couple enjoying the garden. We secretly kept a close eye on Michael and Caitlin as they chatted and when he finally dropped to one knee, we immediately started photographing them from a distance. We let them enjoy that moment and soak it all in until Michael finally pointed us out to Caitlin and introduced us. From there we made our way around the island for a mini engagement shoot and wrapped up just before their planned dinner at the Grand Hotel.

It was such an honor to be entrusted with capturing such a special moment. Congratulations to Michael and Caitlin once again! We wish them all the best!

Mackinaw City Wedding | Charles + Amanda

Through many conversations and some video chats leading up to their day, it was evident that Charles and Amanda were our kind of people. When we were finally able to meet together face to face on their actual wedding day... it was oh-so sweet. It felt like instant best friends.

We took a little trip for this Mackinaw City Wedding at Headlands International Dark Sky Park. The wait for this day felt like forever but Charles and Amanda were finally able to make their wedding plans work despite all that life (and a pandemic) threw at them. Through many conversations and some video chats leading up to their day, it was evident that Charles and Amanda were our kind of people. When we were finally able to meet together face to face on their actual wedding day... it was oh-so sweet. It felt like instant best friends. Amanda and I (Sarah) even connected over the fact that we share an enneagram type which makes TOTAL sense. Every last detail came together so beautifully on their wedding day and we couldn't believe how comfortable we felt amongst their family and friends as we celebrated them FINALLY saying 'I do'. Can we talk about just how giddy these two were to marry each other?! They were giggling together the entire day and had us crying with emotions whilst grinning ear to ear at the same time. It was one of the sweetest days and we will definitely remember it, and the friends we made from it, forever & ever. Congratulations once again, Charles and Amanda! Thank you for choosing us to capture your love on your wedding day.

Heath and Emma | Traverse City Wedding

I’ve known Heath and Emma individually for quite some time. I was so happy when they first started dating — they are the perfect match. So you can imagine my excitement when Heath eventually popped the question and shortly after we received an inquiry from Emma to photograph their wedding!

I've known Heath and Emma individually for quite some time. I was so happy when they first started dating -- they are the perfect match. So you can imagine my excitement when Heath eventually popped the question and shortly after we received an inquiry from Emma to photograph their wedding!

Because I have known Heath and Emma for years, it was no surprise that I knew most of their wedding guests as well. Even my own parents were there. They had offered to babysit our baby daughter for the night so we got to visit with them during dinner--so fun!

They were married at a family's property right on the water with a gorgeous view. We started with an emotional first look with Emma's dad. Their interactions had us tearing up. How sweet it was to see him look at his gorgeous daughter with such love in his eyes. From there, Emma moved right into her first look with Heath. Heath tried his best to keep it together when he saw his bride, but it didn't take much to get them both crying as well.

Heath and Emma, we were absolutely honored to celebrate your wedding day with you. We are so excited for what your future holds! Congratulations once again!
