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!

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!

Nick + Ann | Walloon Lake Inn
Nick and Ann’s intimate wedding celebration took place in the beautiful Walloon Lake Inn. After the downpour had cleared, the sun returned, bringing with it a rainbow that stood out against the dark storm clouds.
Nick and Ann’s intimate wedding celebration took place in the beautiful Walloon Lake Inn. Ann got ready and dressed with her mother and bridesmaids at the Hotel Walloon before we took some bridal portraits down the hall against the wall of gilded mirrors. From there we made the short walk down the street to the Walloon Lake Inn where the rest of the festivities were to occur. With rain on the forecast, Nick and Ann said their vows on the front lawn under the shelter of a tent. And the rain did eventually come. After the downpour had cleared, the sun returned, bringing with it a rainbow that stood out against the dark storm clouds. Nick and Ann with their bridal party, made the walk back to Hotel Walloon for a breath of fresh air and some portraits by the water.
After dinner, everyone moved to the dance floor outside where sunset hues of pink and purple illuminated the sky behind them. Everything about Nick and Ann’s wedding day was beautiful and we loved being a part of telling their love story.

Simon | Senior Portraits
Simon is currently studying music theory and audio technology. When he’s not at school, he loves playing guitar, listening to music (he is a big fan of Thom Yorke), or absolutely wrecking everyone playing Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo Switch.
This senior portrait session was extra special because the senior was Miles’ brother, Simon! My sister, Grace was graduating the same year, so we took a short sibling road trip just an hour from Traverse City, to Port Oneida for their senior portraits.

The combo of Miles and Simon together, had us laughing most of the session, and it was super fun to capture Simon being the cool guy that he is.
David + Alyssa | BlueBridge Wedding
David and Alyssa truly embraced what it means to have FUN at their wedding. David looked quite dapper in his navy suit while Alyssa was stunning in her beautiful lace gown. They met each other in the middle of a quaint little bridge over a small pond in front of their wedding location for their first look.
David and Alyssa got ready with their bridal party in separate areas on BlueBridge property.
David’s groomsmen helped him with his bowtie while Alyssa’s mom and bridesmaids got her into her dress and helped with the final touches.
Finally, it was time for their first look.

Mitch + Amber | Glen Arbor Wedding
Mitch and Amber met and fell in love with the beauty of Northern Michigan. So it was an obvious choice for them to share this special place with all of their guests on their wedding day. The Homestead Resort based in Glen Arbor was the perfect setting for their vows and we were even able to sneak off to the beach for photos with a Lake Michigan backdrop.

As we got to know Mitch and Amber leading up to their day, we found out they had a son around the same age as our daughter! Their son was such a fun addition to their wedding day and the cutest little dancer during the reception. It was a joy to be a part of Mitch and Amber’s beautiful intimate Michigan wedding and tell the story of their day through photographs.
Cheers to their sweet little family & their Northern Michigan love story!
