Steve & Trevor | Wedding | May 28, 2017

Trevor and Steve celebrated their love among their closest family and friends at Castle Farms in Charlevoix, Michigan.  They had a 20’s theme, adorned by highlights of peacocks and pearls.  Everybody came dressed in pearls and fun colorful feather headpieces.  The music was all period appropriate, too.  It was really a great, laid back wedding day for two stellar cool cats!  They love to travel and that amazing cake definitely says it all.  I wish all suitcases looked like that and were filled with cake!

Mary & Tim | Wedding | May 20, 2017

Mary and Tim had a wedding of all seasons at Castle Farms in Charlevoix on this late-May day.  Thank goodness we omitted the snow portion of all seasons!  We began the day with sunshine, progressed to comfortable overcast that lasted through our trip to the beach, and rain showers rounded out the day as we sat for dinner.  Luckily, the rain didn’t stay long and they had a gorgeous evening to spend with their guests.

Abigail & Michael | Wedding | May 12, 2017

These two!  Oh my goodness!  The connection that exists here is visible to anyone near Abigail and Michael!  It was such a pleasure being a part of their big day!  Their wedding party, friends, and family were so gentle and kind.  These days truly make me love what I do even more than normal.

Brea & Joe | Wedding | April 22, 2017

Brea and Joe had a wonderful spring wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix.  These two and their crew had the best attitudes and smiles that made this day just beyond fantastic!  We started the day with bride and groom letters to each other that showed the sweetest connection and then a first look with Brea’s dad that gave me a glimpse in to why that connection is so true.  Good families, good people, and big hearts make for more than a perfect wedding day; this combination makes the foundation for a great marriage.

Lisa & Morgan | Wedding | May 21, 2017

What can you say to a red, white, and blue attire themed wedding, highlighted by dress blues on a military man?  And swords.  And dragon’s fire.  Well, YES, of course!  And when the phrase “live long and prosper” is uttered in a wedding ceremony; you know it’s going to be a good day among like-minded people.  The humor with this crowd and the easy-going nature of both Lisa and Morgan, simply made the day wonderful to be a part of.

Susan & Mike | Wedding | March 28, 2017

Kallyn & Zak | Wedding | March 25, 2017

Kallyn and Zak had a wonderful day for a wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix!  We had a great sunny day for late March in Michigan.  I really didn’t think we were going to get such perfect weather!  It had been calling for solid rain the entire week!  We made plans to dance in the rain if necessary, but nope, we ran around a beautiful facility under perfect skies.  These two must have done something right!

Janaye & Spencer | Wedding | March 4, 2017

Janaye and Spencer had a wonderful sunny and crisp winter’s day for their intimate wedding at Stafford’s Bay View Inn in Petoskey.  They were surrounded by their siblings as attendants, their parents, and closest family.  The love between these two was more than visible.  They shared laughter, adoring looks, and a comfortable ease with each other that just makes you happy to be around them.

Cass & Rod | Wedding | March 3, 2017

Some days at work make me smile for days!  Today I got to wear snowpants, go 4 wheeling on an unplowed country road, and freeze my butt off in 17 degree weather to be a part of Cass and Rod’s winter ski-in wedding.  It was fantastic!  Despite the cold temperatures, the winds were fair and the sun peeked in and out of the clouds; making for an ideal winter’s day.  Lovely Cass and handsome Rod skied the few miles from the Homestead in Glen Arbor to the barn on Miller Road at Port Oneida to meet me and the officiant and commit their vows to each other.  It is always quite an honor to be part of an intimate gathering and participating in a happy couple’s union.

Autumn and Michael had an unusually fabulous February day for a wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix.  They were blessed with crystal clear blue skies and upwards of 60 degree temperatures!  A beautiful day for a beautiful couple!
