Mia & Giovanni: An Elberta Life Saving Station Wedding

Mia & Gio’s gorgeous Elberta Life Saving Station wedding this summer in Elberta, Michigan was such a joy to be a part of! Both Mia and Gio are genuinely the sweetest humans, and their wedding day was full of so many sweet moments.

From their tearful first look in front of the Point Betsie Lighthouse to their gorgeous wedding ceremony at the Elberta Life Saving Station to the most stunning first dance lit by sparklers and romantic string lights, every moment of their day was absolutely perfect.

I’m so excited to be featuring some of their gorgeous images and their wedding film here on my blog. Scroll down to see some highlights from their absolutely stunning Elberta Life Saving Station wedding day!

Congratulations again, Mia & Gio!

Mia & Gio had their First Look on the beach in front of the Point Betsie Lighthouse. It was pretty cloudy/foggy when we showed up at the beach to do their first look, but gosh it made for absolutely gorgeous pictures! This was one of the sweetest first looks that I’ve ever had the privilege of capturing. You can’t be with Mia & Gio without instantly noticing how perfect they are for each other and how in love they are!
