Sarah and Dean's Eclectic and Artistic Wedding in Marshall, MI

Sarah and Dean are another couple who we are lucky to call our friends who were married in 2016! Of course, we were over the moon when they inquired about us shooting their day at The Olde Farmhouse Barn in Marshall, MI. Sarah and Dean took a little bit of a non-traditional spin on their day, foregoing a lot of traditions and instead focused on a short sentimental ceremony, and lots of time being present, enjoying THEIR day with guests. I loved this approach because they weren't shuffling from one thing to the next, and were able to be present and enjoy their whole day, and it gave us a lot of freedom to tell the story of their day without interruption. They incorporated a lot of geometric touches + a little bit of a boho feel with the florals and colors, and their wardrobe had a sophisticated vintage inspiration. Sarah is very talented + artistic and her vision for their day came together beautifully, she even hand crafted their favor geometric magnets! (Still my favorite magnets EVER! SO CUTE) Overall I think this is one of our favorite days we have captured because it was truly a representation of Sarah and Dean's personalities and aesthetic and was truly their own.

Erica and Sam Southern Michigan Rainy Day Wedding

Okay this is a HUGE post.........There's something so truly wonderful about photographing for couple's you've known forever and are friends with. Erica and Sam's day was moody and magical. Accompanied by their dear friends and family they married near Quincy Michigan on one of the rainiest June days there ever was. Their ceremony was intimate and sweet on Sam's families property. The rain stopped right when Erica decided to walk down the aisle and it was so perfect. The reception was a blast  and help at Tip-Up Island in Quincy, MI and I think the photos do a wonderful job of telling the rest of the story especially the crazy dance party at the end! Thank you Sam and Erica for letting us tell the story of your best day ever!

Chloe + Mike Traverse City Michigan Engagement

Okay so I'm throwing it back to MAY.....yes........May........to Chloe and Mike's engagement session. Chloe and Mike are just like the SWEETEST people ever. They asked Corey and I about coming up to Traverse City and we were all about it (we desperately needed a break before the Scout was born!) We had initially decided on wooded/ and downtown locations and the pier where they got engaged, but on the way to our hotel I spotted the apple orchard in bloom that we used for the first part of the photos and knew it had to be utilized! We also had questionable weather that day but decided to proceed on the pier and beach even through a straight downpour. Instead of quitting even though we were all drenched Chloe and Mike continued and I couldn't love what we created more. Thank you Chloe and Mike again times 1000 for trusting our vision and having us up there we had so much fun!!! Also the best sessions end with margaritas!!!!!!!!
