Angela + Logan's Snowy Spring Elopement

When Logan + Angela reached out to me about shooting their intimate forest elopement I knew I was going to be making some really beautiful work. However, I think we all had thoughts of a mild spring day. In true Michigan fashion, there was snow, and it was truly the most magical photogenic snow we could have asked for. They chose to hold their ceremony surrounded by their closest family and friends amongst the towering pines at Hoffmaster State Park in Muskegon. They read their snow drenched vows in the stillness of the forest and quiet falling flakes. Special thank you to The Lost Forty; Kayla created a truly stunning bouquet and boutonnière that fit their dark and moody aesthetic perfectly. Do you ever have a moment that feels like haiku? This was truly one of those, and I hope for a moment you can feel what we felt on this 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.
