Aimee and Nathan's Backyard Boho Wedding in Montgomery, Michigan

Aimee and Nathan's day was another wedding in 2016 where we felt right at home. We've known Aimee since high school and were ecstatic to photograph their day. Aimee and Nathan opted for an intimate backyard wedding with their family and friends held at Aimee's parents property in Montgomery, Michigan. They had the most heartfelt first look and of course that made for some super sweet images. Aimee and her family did all the decor themselves, which oh my gosh LOOK AT IT! SO STUNNING!!!! They are some of the loveliest boho details we have ever shot!!! Scroll slow they are so good! Their celebration was filled with so much happiness and love and we were so honored to be a part of it!

Kaitlin + Chris' Adventurous Seven Lakes State Park Engagement

Kaitlin and Chris's engagement session was definitely one of our favorites of 2016. They are such an amazingly adventurous free spirited couple (currently traveling the world) and were up for anything we wanted to do at the session! Seven Lakes State Park in Holly, MI  was such an awesome spot for these! We had the whole park pretty much to ourselves so that was about the best thing we could have asked for! We ran everywhere around the park, danced, and took some amazing shots in the water! My favorite part of these is the connection Kaitlin and Chris have, you can just feel the love vibes!!!!

Giovanna + Terrell's Whimsical Kalamzoo Boho Wedding

Giovanna and Terrell invited me to shoot their day at Martell's on a beautiful Saturday in May 2016 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Rain sprinkled down right before the ceremony providing the most lovely cloud cover that made everything look extra lush. They had an exceptionally beautiful ceremony and the love from all of their close family and friends was palpable.   I was so honored to be part of such an intimate day! Portrait time was a breeze as you can see below these two are naturals! All of their details were so well thought out and just fit the vibe of their day really well! I hope you enjoy this post because I really love everything about their boho-y spring day!

Ally + Jeff's Winter Industrial Boho Wedding in Coldwater, MI

Ally + Jeff

12.12.15

Yep, throwing it back to 2015 for a moment! This day was really special for me to photograph. Ally is a really dear friend of mine and has been such an inspiration for my work, she's just an all around amazing person, makeup artist and stylist. When she asked me to be a part of her day I couldn't resist. I knew she and Jeff intended to move to New York the following Spring and wanted to incorporate a bit of that vibe into their day. 

Cloudy, warm and perfect, for December in Michigan we were fortunate to have such an incredible setting for their day. They opted for an intimate wedding with family and close friends plus their sweet pug Biscuit. Their ceremony was held at our cute community center gym, it fit the industrial boho theme perfectly. We chose a really beautiful brick wall downtown for portraits that I adore and then they opted for some additional portraits at dusk which could not have been dreamier with all of the holiday lights.

Erica and Sam Southern Michigan Rainy Day Wedding

Okay this is a HUGE post.........There's something so truly wonderful about photographing for couple's you've known forever and are friends with. Erica and Sam's day was moody and magical. Accompanied by their dear friends and family they married near Quincy Michigan on one of the rainiest June days there ever was. Their ceremony was intimate and sweet on Sam's families property. The rain stopped right when Erica decided to walk down the aisle and it was so perfect. The reception was a blast  and help at Tip-Up Island in Quincy, MI and I think the photos do a wonderful job of telling the rest of the story especially the crazy dance party at the end! Thank you Sam and Erica for letting us tell the story of your best day ever!

Kayla+David Southwest Michigan Boho Wedding 9.26.15

Kayla and David contacted me about photographing their reception event near Battle Creek, Michigan and I couldn't have been more excited to do so! When I was emailing with her I knew her and I were destined to make some photographic magic especially after we met and she was describing the whole vibe and aesthetic of her day! There is so much to say about this set of photographs and their day; how welcoming Kayla, David and their families were. The fact that it was a chill, laid back, backyard event on Kayla's family farm (Oh how we adore these kinds of days!) AMAZING DIY decor, the perfect overcast warm weather and amazing surprise sunset, peacocks EVERYWHERE...........UGH I want to relive this over and over. I loved that I was able to capture these lovely humans sweet and intimate connection in a place that was special for them and their family. I think this will forever be one of my favorite days and I am so overjoyed to share this little story!
