Dr. Smyka’s Dental office needed some updated photos for their Traverse City Dentist office website.
Alis tells me that they bought the cottage in 1947. Since then the family has continued to grow. And grow, and grow, and grow. This year’s family reunion consisted of 13 branches of the family tree, totaling 73 people. They have had their large group photo taken on the front steps of the cottage, every three years, since the late 60s. Just amazing! And Alis (in her early 90s) is one spunky, happy, and kind, gal! It was my pleasure to be a part of this giant family madness!
Meet Dean. Dean is one of Amazing Day Weddings’ officiants from the Petoskey area.
Oh, brother!! Yup, four boys! This wonderful family has not only 4 boys, but two giant beastly babies, too. I was so impressed with these young men. They were so appropriately kind, playful, open, easy, generously gentle with the dogs, and respectful with their parents. My hope just may be restored in the next generation!
This was a perfect Glen Arbor day for a wedding with Kenny & Kristin and their two lovely children. Her choice of pale pink was stunning with the table and chair detail in Camp Firefly lodge at the Homestead.
Tessa & Eli were fantastic and just happy to be together. They had no stress, no anxiety, only excitement to tie the knot!
What a fun family! All of these little smiles had so much personality!
Kelsey & Justin were just great together! His vows were so honest, there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd! Their families were so supportive and truly happy to be a part of this union.
This couple had a beauty about them that went far beyond their physical selves. These two were truly beautiful in soul, spirit, kindness, and their love.
Some days are just epically perfect! This was one of those days. Just the right combination of summer sun, fun personalities, a loving connection between all in attendance, and really great homemade details. Oh, AND a puppy-dog, wedding-libs, sunflowers, and a killer sunset to top it all off, too.
