These two lovely ladies shared their vows in the vines of Shady Lane Cellars among their closest family and friends. The ceremony was read in both English and French and Bene’s family joined us all the way from her homeland of France. Their wedding party joined us for a champagne toast up the road at L.Mawby and we took a quick trip to Suttons Bay Ciders. The joy among these two was so fun to witness!
The Wyatt family all came together as a family at their summer home in Northport. There are three little people in this growing group, two of whom know how to steal the show! These cousins may be ones to watch as they grow up; cousins are always your first best friends.
Shane will be graduating high school this coming year. He runs cross country, enjoys spending time at the family lake house, and it’s pretty apparent that he loves his dog. Here is a fine example of a young person who will go far in the world and make good things happen for his future!
Kelley and Chris hosted their friends and family from near and far at Castle Farms in Charlevoix Michigan, for their wedding. It was a great day of laughter, happy tears, and some pretty comical dinner toasts.
These two actually surprised me. I often see people exchange gifts or letters behind doors or a wall without seeing each other, but I’ve not seen people exchange private vows before the ceremony. And it was wonderful! The heartfelt messages of truth, hope, and love, shared only between themselves and us little birds, was just wonderful to witness.
Stacey and Troy had a beautiful summer day for a wedding in Charlevoix. We started out at each of their rental homes in town with their families and then went for the ceremony at St. Mary’s Church. Everybody had good fun on the trolley cruising around downtown and to the beach. They had the East Garden Room at Castle farms decorated with beautiful details for the reception.
Ashley and Logan had a full day of fun for their wedding in at Visions at Centerpoint in Traverse City. The color scheme of blues and corals coordinated so well with the marina and barn locations.
Sarah and Tim had a lovely summer’s day for a wedding at Greystone Mansion in Honor. They had the cutest details with their custom labels on flavored soda bottles!
Amy and Joe will be married this fall. After a few days of being rained out, we all finally made it to Alpena for their engagement photos. Sure, Alpena is quite a hike, especially in the heart of the busiest month of the year, but this town means so much to these two; it was worth the wait and the drive.
Cydney and Tucker had a flawless Northern Michigan day for a wedding on the lawn of the family lake home in Leland. They were blessed with absolutely stunning sunset skies and perfect summer temperatures to party with their friends, family, and great band, all night long.
Erica and Tony celebrated their union at Castle Farms in Charlevoix in Knights Castle and Courtyard. Erica was escorted by both her father and step-father down the aisle and greeted by, not only a very anxious Tony, but a little local, at the altar. A small mouse friend decided he’d like to interrupt the emotional tears with some literal, little comedy. And Erica being the champ she is, just laughed at the little guy running under her dress! Epic!
