Laura + Zack: Starry Night Barn & Studios Wedding Film

Laura and Zack were married in the stunning Leelanau Peninsula at their oh-so-gorgeous Starry Night Barn & Studios wedding. From the first time that Laura reached out to me, we hit it off because of how much we have in common. Both of our husband’s names are Zack, we both love dogs and have 2 fur babies, love Star Wars, and Laura’s a Spanish teacher! The similarities didn’t end there though. On their wedding day, I found out that both Zack and Laura also have Scottish ancestry so they did a tartan handfasting during their Leelanau Peninsula wedding ceremony and actually used the same reading that my Zach and I used at ours. Clearly, a match made in heaven ❤️

“Zack and Laura’s Starry Night Barn & Studios wedding was so intentional and full of so many sweet moments”

On top of everything that we have in common, Zack and Laura are just genuinely such a sweet couple. I know I say it all the time, but I’m so blessed to work with couples who care just as much, if not more, about the people around them celebrating their marriage than they do about their day. Zack and Laura’s Leelanau Peninsula wedding was so intentional and full of so many sweet moments, and I’m so excited to share them all on the blog today in their wedding film.

I can’t talk about their Starry Night Barn & Studios wedding without a huge shout out to the venue itself. From the moment that I arrived, I was struck by how gorgeous this venue truly is. If you follow my blog at all, you probably know how obsessed I am with willow trees. I also have a slight obsession with swings, so a willow tree with a swing is what my dreams are made of! (I’m not even joking. Having a willow tree with a swing for reading is on my #lifegoals list. Someday!) This whole venue is intimate and romantic, and the absolutely perfect place to spend your wedding day. All of the staff were so sweet and accommodating too, truly wonderful to work with.

Laura and Zack, thank you so much for the privilege of capturing your wedding day! May you always be as happy and blessed as you were on your big day!
