Wedding Photography, Wedding Videography

The weekend of Gabrielle & Trenton’s rainy Traverse City wedding was an interesting one for pretty much every wedding vendor and couple who had a wedding scheduled here in Northern Michigan. The forecast leading up to Saturday was not great. It was calling for rain from basically 9 am until sometime on Sunday. Exactly what […]

Ally & Logan were married in a gorgeous, intimate Mackinac Island wedding. We really couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful, sunny day for them to tie the knot! Both Logan and Ally are beautiful, quiet souls. They don’t love being the center of attention, so their intimate wedding with their closest friends and family […]

Savannah & Landon’s Nature Michigan wedding here in gorgeous Northern Michigan was the stuff Michigan wedding dreams are made of. We had a gorgeous sunny (and surprisingly hot) June day. Not a cloud in sight, just gorgeous sunshine and lots of love! But better than the gorgeous weather and all the beautiful details was how […]

Phi & Trent: An Elegant Grand Rapids Wedding | City Flats Hotel

Wedding Photography, Wedding Videography

  I got to kick off my wedding season for 2021 with Phi & Trent’s elegant Grand Rapids wedding. Phi & Trent were supposed to get married last May at CityFlats Hotel, but they had to cancel their plans when Covid hit. Instead, they had a small ceremony just the two of them and decided […]

Gabrielle & Trenton: A Cherry Blossom Engagement Session | Traverse City, Northern Michigan

Engagements

If there’s one thing that everyone looks forward to in Traverse City after a long winter, it’s the arrival of Spring. And Spring brings the gorgeous cherry blossoms that we’re so famous for! If you’re ever in Traverse City in the Spring, make sure to drive up the peninsulas and you’ll be rewarded with a […]

Gabriella & Matthew: A Rainy Fall Engagement Session | Charlevoix, Michigan

Engagements

Gabriella and Matthew are seriously the sweetest (and the cutest). We had some crazy rain here in Northern Michigan the weekend that they scheduled their engagement session, but they wanted to carry on and just roll with it. And honestly, what’s more fun than playing in the rain sometimes? They absolutely rocked their rainy fall […]

Morgan & Tyler: M22 Fall Engagement Session | Northern Michigan

Engagements

For anyone who’s not familiar with fall in Northern Michigan, there’s really nothing quite like it. I got to hang out with Morgan & Tyler a few weeks ago for their gorgeous Michigan M22 fall engagement session. We’d actually originally planned to meet at the beach because the trail leading up to the beach is […]

Katie & John: Crooked Creek Ranch Wedding | Cedar, Michigan

Wedding Photography

Katie & John got married this fall here in Northern Michigan, and we got a gorgeous, sunny (albeit slightly chilly), very perfect day for their Crooked Creek Ranch wedding. These two are the absolute sweetest, and to make everything better they brought along their two adorable pups to share their wedding day with them 😍. […]

Amanda & Jasper: Intimate Northern Michigan Wedding | Harbor Springs, Michigan

Wedding Photography, Wedding Videography

Amanda & Jasper got married in the sweetest, intimate Northern Michigan wedding with their closest friends and family members. Going into their wedding weekend, the forecast pretty much showed a 100% chance of rain all day, and it definitely looked like Michigan was going to actually follow through this time. Jasper and Mandy were such […]

Mackenzie & Grant: A Michigan Summer Backyard Wedding | Saginaw, Michigan

Wedding Photography, Wedding Videography

Mackenzie and Grant got married in August in the most gorgeous Michigan summer backyard wedding. Their entire day was a complete 180 from what they had originally planned, but through all the craziness and re-planning, these two took everything in stride and their day was absolutely breathtaking! I mean really…how stunning of a bride was Mackenzie? […]
