A few weeks ago, on a gorgeous Michigan day, Eric and Tara vowed to dedicate the rest of their lives to each other. The day was full of laughter, as Tara is one of the most joy-filled brides I have ever met and Eric is very obviously the source of much of that joy. It was such an honor to spend these two and document such a beautiful day. We found a hidden apple orchard to pop into for portraits and the coolest pile of cut wood-- which was fitting because the groom cuts wood on the side. From gorgeous gowns, to sweet apple blossoms to the incredibly styled reception: this wedding will leave you drooling. Here are some of my favorites from their day! Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Johnson!

I met Mattie a couple of years ago at one of the workshops I teach and instantly fell in love with her joyful spirit. When I got a call about a year later to shoot her wedding, I was absolutely thrilled. Mattie is the visionary behind Spark & Wildflower and creates stunning days for her clients. I knew her very own wedding would be gorgeous, and it certainly was! Nick and Mattie are a perfect match and it was a wonderful day full of love and celebrating. Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Burke! Here are some of my favorites from their day!

Jessica and Dana are the type of couple that you just know are going to make it. So in love, and so attentive to one another, their day was as special as they are. Jessica was a knockout bride, and Dana was arguably one of the most handsome grooms. One of my favorite details of their day was how thoughtfully they honored and remembered their loved ones, here and gone. Sentimental hankies, keepsake lockets on the bridal bouquet and gorgeous heirloom rings (the groom's grandparents) were just a few of those special touches. We were graced with a warm, sunny April day, which in Michigan is almost unheard of! This wedding day was so beautiful from start to finish and I was so honored to have been a part of such a great day! Here are some of my hand picked favorites!
