This past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting a friend’s wedding. Niki and Matt held the wedding and reception on the lawn at his folk’s house. The morning rain cleared off into a beautiful late summer day! Niki and Matt’s mom grew all of the flowers for the bouquets and table decor.
And I must say that Addy looked super cute in the little blue dress that I made!!
Tonya and John were married at Boyne Mountain on a beautiful late summer day. Tonya’s daughter, McKenzie, sang for the ceremony and gave the best speech I’ve heard in years. This little, tiny, young lady expressed herself so well in front of a very large group of people. She expressed her appreciation for the way that John loves she and her mother. It really made me smile that Tonya has raised her daughter to be so well read and appreciative of the people around her. And to see a “guy’s guy” like John be so proud of the family he has taken as his own, let’s me know that he is a really special man. This is one lucky family!
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!
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.
Lauren and Ryan were the winners of the 2014 Castle Farms Grand Bridal Expo Grand Wedding Give-Away. This lucky couple opted for a barn wedding and then a Castle reception. They had the most fantastic details both in the barn and at the reception. The big sunflowers in cowboy boots and barbed-wire hurricane globes for table centerpieces were just lovely!
Haley and Chris had an absolutely perfect day for a Castle Wedding! The way these two interacted with each other, a light touch or a glance of the eye, was wonderful to watch. Their families were close in themselves and so accepting of each other. It’s great to see a truly easy and stress-free day where everybody is there 100% for the happy union of the bride and groom!
Crystal and Isaiah were so wonderful to work with for the Castle Farms’ Hero’s Giveaway Wedding. This fantastic event, honoring one of America’s Heros and his family, was great to be a part of. All of the vendors below donated time and product to make this day a success! Thank you to each and every one of you for supporting this military family!
