{suttons bay, michigan | september 2020}

Tatum + Josh

Tatum’s favorite memory of the day: My favorite part of the day was hearing Josh’s wedding vows. His love language is definitely not “words of affirmation” so I know it took him some time and thought to write them and I just loved hearing them. I will cherish those words forever.

Josh’s favorite memory of the day: Seeing Tatum walk out in her dress for the first time. This was a moment I had waited over a year for and she looked absolutely stunning. I couldn’t control the smile on my face as the most perfect bride walked towards me.

Honeymoon location: We went on a mini-moon to Elk Rapids due to travel restrictions with Covid. We stayed at a beautiful house on the water and had a very relaxing trip. We still plan to do a more tropical honeymoon once travel limitations are lifted.

Brittany + Hayden

Brittany’s favorite memory of the day: Finally walking down the isle with my dad towards Hayden!! Celebrating with family and friends who love us, it meant the world to us!

Hayden’s favorite memory of the day: Seeing Brittany for the first time in a gorgeous dress and dancing with my wife for the first time.

Honeymoon location: To be determined! Was supposed to be Hawaii but due to COVID plans have changed. We may bypass a honeymoon and buy a house!!

{Bridge Street Chapel Wedding // Erin + Steven}

{lansing, michigan // june 2020}

Erin + Steven

Erin’s favorite memory of the day: Taking off that heavy and hot dress at the end of the night! (Kidding! ... mostly.) In addition to the entire ceremony, I loved hugging each one of our guests afterwards while dismissing rows, my cousins' baby blowing me kisses during dinner, and doing The Twist with my Grandpa on the dance floor!

Steven’s favorite memory of the day: Standing at the altar, the double doors open, and I see Erin standing there.

Honeymoon location and activities: We spent three days in the Traverse City area, spent 4 days with Erin's family at the cottage in the UP, and spent 2 days on Mackinac Island. Highlights were lots of time on the beach (with killer sunburns), tubing with family, biking, kayaking, wineries, breweries, a hot air balloon ride, parasailing, and lots of great food!

{Peninsula Room Wedding // Kelsie + Taylor}

[traverse city, mi // september 2019}

This was a wedding that I second shot at, but it was just so beautiful that I can’t not share it!

I met Kelsie + Taylor on their wedding day and they were so inviting! I started off with the boys at an air bnb in downtown traverse city where they were getting ready. Then we went up Old Mission to the Peninsula Room. Taylor and the guys hung around for a bit while we waited for Kelsie and the girls to arrive. Shortly after they did, Kelsie + Taylor did their first look. Then we had some fun with the wedding party and there may have been a little too much grabbing from the groomsmen! Oops!

The ceremony had the most beautiful backdrop of the sun coming down on the lake. After that was cocktail hour and a wonderful dinner. We snuck out towards the end of dinner to find the best sunset!
