Taylor & Brian | Walloon Lake Country Club Petoskey Wedding
DeGuilio+Wedding+Detailsf-13.jpg

The kick off to a wedding season is always exciting, but kicking off with Taylor and Brian’s Walloon Lake celebration was particularly thrilling. We had the most gorgeous summer weather and all the lakes were shining and beautiful. Taylor and Brian spent so much time curating the most romantic details from their invitation suites complete with watercolor details all the way to carrying the soft blues and greens of the bridesmaids outfits into the reception linens. After a special and sweet first look, the bridal party headed to the waterfront in Petoskey for amazing Lake Michigan photos. I will never get over the way film captures water and texture, and getting my film images back makes me as excited as Christmas Day every single time! A waterside ceremony was made even sweeter with readings by their parents and a ring warming (the rings passed through the guest during the ceremony so each person could pray a blessing over their marriage before they exchanged vows). Their reception was full of all things northern Michigan- ice cream, pies, the most wonderful food you can imagine (Walloon Country Club does it right!) and one of the best live bands in Michigan—Blue Water Kings. The party continued into the night as the sunset on Walloon Lake and guests danced the night away. As usual, I am sharing way too many photos (but really, how do you choose when there is so much beauty!?). I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from their day!

Lauren + John | Northport Point Wedding
104809RLsl061308-R4-059-2.jpg

This was, hands down, one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been a part of! After their gorgeous rehearsal dinner and welcome party, it was finally wedding day! All three events also include photos that I feel the proudest of, truly this was a labor of love by all the vendors involved and I was so honored to be a part of it! Lauren and John are 100% perfect for each other which I knew from the moment I met them at their Dallas, Texas ranch engagement session. Lauren was also the most composed bride I think I am have ever had, and these two really truly enjoyed their day from start to finish and it showed in their images. As usual I have picked way too many to share, but this Northport Point wedding was just too full of amazing moments. Enjoy scrolling through!

Lauren + John | Northport Wedding Welcome Dinner
Coffman+Welcome+Details-79.jpg

Yesterday I shared Lauren and John's rehearsal dinner and today I am back sharing their welcome dinner! Welcome parties and dinners have gained popularity this year and it is such a treat to be able to welcome out of town guests (most of Lauren and John's had flown in for their nuptials!) to experience the place a couple loves so much. In Michigan, we believe summertime is unrivaled almost anywhere else and this couple's guests got a taste of it with s'mores, a perfect sunset, live music, a roasting pig, gelato cart, signature cocktails, lawn games and more. As if that wasn't perfect enough, every little detail was beyond beautiful... here are some favorites! And stay tuned because I will be sharing their stunning wedding soon!
