Wedding Trailer | Emily + Andrew

Luxurious… Timeless... Elegant… Full of friends and family (& fur family!) These are just a few expressions that come to mind when we remember Emily & Andrew’s wedding from the beginning of September. Our team had the honor of traveling to northern Michigan to capture the wedding day of Emily & Andrew – an absolutely stunning event that we are so excited to share with you today.

This gorgeous couple exchanged vows at St Joseph's Catholic Church in Traverse City and then enjoyed a celebratory reception at Fountain Point Resort in Lake Leelanau. The talented planning team from Fox & Fern Events helped to create a breathtaking backdrop for the day. The bright and airy tented reception had an ethereal outdoor garden feel with gold and crystal chandeliers hanging among soft greens and the soft white and ivory florals were so romantic. They had special touches everywhere – keep a look out for their adorable napkins! The day was memorable from beginning to end and we feel so privileged to have been there to capture all of the special moments. Emily & Andrew, thank you for inviting us along! We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!

Wedding Trailer | Anna & Asa

We are so excited to share another sneak peek of a stunning wedding we had the honor of capturing at the beginning of September. Anna and Asa are truly an amazing couple – the best of friends that exude so much love! They met during the crazy time of Covid back in 2020 when Asa was living in San Diego. A walk with their dogs and a taco dinner was all it took for “the rest to become history,” as they say. Their engagement was on a beautiful hike in June 2022 in Aspen, CO and from there the wedding planning began!

Ann and Asa wanted to create a wedding that was a mix of fun, chic, modern and classic – an amazing party where their family and friends could eat amazing food and dance the night away! The incredible planning team from Ann Travis events created the most amazing details and ensured not a thing was out of place. BLOOM Floral Design outdid themselves with their beautiful florals and Island Thyme Catering and Event Planning delivered the most memorable meal for all that attended. Kate Headley was also on hand as photographer extraordinaire – it was truly such a joy to work alongside so many outstanding vendors.

Thank you, Anna & Asa, for allowing us to play a small part in your wedding day! It was wonderful getting to know you both and we wish you all the best in the adventures that lie ahead!

Wedding Trailer | Danielle + Maximilian

Our couple today, Danielle and Maximilian, met back in high school but went separate ways after high school and college. As with many love stories that are just “meant to be” they got back in touch in 2018 where the sparks flew and their relationship truly began. A couple of blissful years later Max planned a romantic proposal on a boat down in the Florida Keys and their forever story began!

Danielle wanted to plan a simple and elegant wedding surrounded by their favorite friends and family members – a special day full of love, fun, laughter and memories made to last a lifetime. Their ceremony took place at the beautiful Grosse Pointe Memorial Church in Grosse Pointe Farms, MI and the reception that followed was at the Colony Club Detroit in Detroit. Danielle was absolutely stunning as she walked down the aisle in her dress from Jenna in White. Charvat The Florist did an incredible job on the floral creations for the day and the planning team from Bunny and June Events ensured not a single detail was missed. At the reception, Eleven11 Event Studio provided an incredible flower wall, the four-tiered wedding cake adorned with white flowers was created by Vito’s Bakery and DJ Chris Hesano with Five Stars Entertainment brought the house down by keeping the dance floor alive all night. The very talented Caitlin Maloney Photography was also alongside us for the day making sure every memory was captured.

It was such an honor to get to know such an amazing couple and watch their love on display. Danielle & Maximilian, thank you for allowing us to play a small part in your wedding day. You guys are amazing and we wish you all the best!

What started as a brunch date turned into a lifetime together for Catie and Zack. We had the honor of capturing their special wedding surrounded by family and friends this past October. They planned a romantic and elegant wedding with both their ceremony and reception at the Aud Mar Banquet Hall in Muskego, WI. Catie was absolutely glowing in her wedding dress from Bon Bon Belle Bridal and the men were looking fine in their tuxes from Men's Wearhouse. Laura Gleason from Lola Grace - Events & Designs did a stellar job as their event planner, ensuring every flower petal was in place and no detail overlooked. DJ Custom Floral provided the stunning floral décor for the day and The Gingerbread House created a beautiful hand painted custom wedding cake. MKE Sound kept the dance floor alive all night and Holen Photography worked alongside us capturing all of the special moments.

Wedding Trailer | Carly + Cameron

We are so excited to share this special wedding trailer today! Some couples truly leave an imprint on our hearts and Carly and Cameron’s wedding is one we were honored to capture. Below is just a snippet of their relationship story they shared with us:

“Our paths first crossed on a winter Saturday night in, both hunkered down with a cocktail watching the Detroit Pistons and scrolling through our latest Bumble matches. We grew curious of each other's listed interests and began exchanging conversation around Detroit sports and our love for Michigan State University. It’s not often you find someone else staying in to watch the Pistons lose yet again, so we decided to meet up.

After our first date, Cameron walked away thinking he would never see me again, while I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the evening. From unexpectedly spending time with my parents on our third date, to realizing we had some of the same acquaintances, it was hard to picture a life without one another. With summer 2021 nearing the end, Cameron closed it out with a proposal in one of my favorite places in the world, Walloon Lake. It was a day we will never forget, and we cannot wait to share it with all of you in September as we start our next journey as husband and wife!”

Carly and Cameron wanted a fun, elegant, “in your living room” type of wedding. Alica Fritz and her amazing team at A Day in May Events helped the couple plan an absolutely unforgettable wedding event. It’s one of the most beautiful weddings we have captured! The ceremony and reception were both held at Gypsy Farms in Petoskey, MI. The bright and airy open ceremony tent was the perfect space to exchange their vows. Carly was undeniably radiant in her gown from Jane Hill and the men were dressed to impress in their tuxes from Cicchini Custom Clothier. Sweetwater Floral created an absolutely gorgeous array of blush, gold, ivory and burgundy bouquets and centerpieces. The dark and moody yet refined and sophisticated reception tent was the perfect venue for an evening celebration. We enjoyed spending the day alongside The Weber Photographers who ensured not a moment was missed.

This is one couple and wedding event that we will remember forever. Carly and Cameron, thank you for inviting us to capture your wedding day – it was an honor. We truly wish you both a lifetime of happiness and adventures together!

Allison + Paul | Wedding Trailer

Spending the day capturing a wedding is a privilege and we love getting to know our couples and hearing the stories of how they met. This past August we were given the opportunity to film the wedding of Allison and Paul. What an incredible couple these two are and the family and friends that surrounded them were equally as special. Let’s have a little sneak peek into the beginning of their story (it all started with Paul’s amazing dance moves):

“We met on a Texas Longhorns home football game Saturday. Allison had just returned from Peru and had one weekend back in Austin before leaving again to travel to Argentina. Paul was out tailgating with some of his friends and Allison decided to meet some of her friends who were out tailgating. They ended up in the same place that day, because of their mutual friend! Paul was showing off some of his dance moves and caught Allison's eye. He quickly engaged in conversation and confidently asked for Allison's number to go out dancing sometime. Paul followed through before and after Allison returned from Argentina and they finally got a date on the books at The Broken Spoke dance hall in Austin, Texas and it went off without a hitch! Three dates in three days later, we knew there could be something special! About 3 years later, Paul drove from Texas to Michigan December 23, 2021 and surprised Allison with an engagement proposal! He had Allison's family in on it too and they had a huge surprise party ready and waiting to celebrate afterwards!”

Their formal ceremony was held at St. Nicholas Antiochian Orthodox Church with their reception at the beautiful Amway Grand Plaza Hotel Curio Collection by Hilton, who also handled the amazing catered dinner and all of the event planning. Gerych's Special Events & Floral Design brought the day to life with stunning floral décor. E3 Detroit did a fantastic job and kept the dance floor alive all night. We also loved working alongside talented Kari Douma Photography.

Allison + Paul, it was a pleasure getting to know you both! It was our honor to capture your wedding day and we truly wish you both the most amazing adventures ahead.

Wedding Trailer | Mackenzie + Zach

The beauty of modern Facetiming technology brought this fantastic couple together. Six months of chatting online led to a summer of dating followed by a blissful 4 years together before getting engaged at a cabin in northern Michigan. Zach’s outdoorsy, fun personality and Mackenzie’s joyful, sweet spirit truly make them both incredible people and we loved spending their wedding day with them!

The ceremony was held at Pillar Church in Holland, MI, followed by a stunning celebration at a private cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan. Mackenzie was simply gorgeous in her gown from Spring Sweet. Event planner, Cassie Celestin, of White Dress Events helped create a truly magical day for the couple. The reception was elevated with beautiful blooms by florist Rhiannon Bosse Celebrations and the guests were treated to a delicious meal catered by The Farmhouse Deli. Kelly Sweet Photography was onsite with us as photographers extraordinaire – it’s a joy to work with such amazing vendors!

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day capturing this beautiful waterfront summer wedding. Mackenzie and Zach – thank you for the honor of joining you. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!

What a summer it has been! We have the best job, hands down, getting to witness (behind a lens) incredible love stories unfold before our eyes. Today we are sharing a peek into our incredible day capturing the wedding between Lauren and Michael. Curious to know how these two met? Read what they shared with us…it all started in high school:

“We first met in high school. I went to an all-girls school, Mercy, and Mike had recently transferred to the all-boys school, Catholic Central. He started hanging out with some of my best guy friends and I was wondering who this new kid was coming around that kept texting me cheesy pick-up lines about my eyes. When Mike would try to kiss me, I would tell him that I had a cold. This world’s longest “cold” lasted quite a while and Mike’s patience and persistence finally payed off one day when this “cold” finally subsided.
Shortly after that we started dating and despite going to different colleges and living in multiple different countries and states apart for 7 years we stayed together. We both finally moved back to Michigan to be together and now we are getting married after the best 12 years together! We had “dinner plans” to go with our friends. We were on our way there when I noticed Michael took a wrong turn which he said was because there was “bad traffic.” He ended up driving and pulling into the neighborhood behind our house and told me we were going to go on a little walk on the trails before dinner. We took a walk through the trails where he had a little picnic set up with champagne and flowers and he got down on one knee and he asked me to marry him. We went to dinner just the two of us after and then came back home to another surprise with all our family and friends waiting for us to celebrate!”

Lauren and Michael’s wedding took place outdoors with the stunning landscape of their family property surrounding them. With their most favorite family and friends in attendance, this sweet couple exchanged vows at a lookout bluff with blue skies overhead. Cassy Anderson from Cassy Rose Events was an absolute dream to work with as the master planners behind this stunning event. Every detail – from the small monogrammed pillows to the incredible floral arch at the end of the aisle to the ice sculpture – created a magical day that everyone in attendance will remember. Lauren and Michael, you have a love and friendship that is to be admired. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to play a special role in capturing your wedding day. We truly wish you both a lifetime of happiness.

The love story we are sharing today started in elementary school. Ally and Josh first met in 1st and 2nd grade, went to elementary and middle school together and eventually started their love story by dating in 7th and 8th grade. While high school sent them in separate ways, they reconnected in college and have been together since 2012. Take a minute to read about Josh’s amazing proposal:

“We got engaged on Mackinaw Island! Josh flew my parents and I to the island for dinner. He proposed on the bluff next to the Grand Hotel with the Mackinaw bridge in the background at Sunset. Mackinaw Island will always be special to us!”

They wanted to create a wedding day that was formal and fancy, yet with a whimsical feeling with light and airy flowers. Creative Events of Michigan helped create the day of their dreams with arrangements and bouquets in soft ivory and pinks. Ally looked absolutely stunning in her wedding gown from Beckers Bridal – she turned all heads as she walked down the aisle at the West Leonard CRC Church in Grand Rapids. Their reception was held at the classy Amway Grand Plaza Hotel and Special Occasions Event Rental and Design helped created an elegant, romantic atmosphere. Music Host Entertainment was on hand to keep the dance floor alive and ensured guests had a fantastic time. We enjoyed working alongside the talented Hannah Cooper Photography throughout the day as well.

Ally and Josh, thank you for inviting us along to capture your special day. We had a blast getting to know you both and are so excited for your future ahead. We wish you all the best in your new adventures together!

Annie and Luke met in high school and have been doing life together for 10 years. Luke proposed in September of 2020 and then we were given the incredible opportunity to capture their wedding June 2022. We had such a great time getting to know this fantastic couple. While this little sneak peek gives you just a glimpse into their love story, it shows the love and friendship between the two of them and the beautiful day they created. They wanted to plan a wedding day where their families and bridal party were honored and that intentionality is just one glimpse into the hearts of this special couple.

With the help of the talented planning team from Ann Travis Events, Annie and Luke planned a wedding that was classic, sophisticated, with a modern take on the traditional. Annie was simply stunning in her Leah Da Gloria dress and her bridesmaids paired alongside perfectly in their white gowns. Their ceremony took place in the Grosse Pointe Academy Chapel and the reception followed at the stylish Country Club of Detroit. Katie Wachowiak Florals helped set the feeling for the day with soft white, ivory and green arrangements. It was a pleasure working alongside Blaine Siesser Photography, who was also capturing all of the memories of the day.

Seeing weddings through the lenses of our cameras and capturing all of the special moments will never get old to us. Congratulations Annie and Luke. We wish you a lifetime of love together!

From meeting at a graduation party in 2017, to an engagement at Canyon Lake in Arizona to finally pulling off the wedding day of their dreams, Carleigh and Jeff are just one of those couples that exudes joy!

They wanted a fun, happy and celebratory mood and their wedding day was exactly that. Surrounded by their friends and family, Carleigh and Jeff planned an absolutely stunning wedding at a private location in Holland, MI. Carleigh’s bubbly and outgoing personality matched with Jeff’s fun and charming side make them an adorable couple and we had a blast spending the day capturing every detail with them.

Julie Ann Design did an incredible job as their main event planner and Modern Day Floral created a breathtaking atmosphere at both the ceremony and reception locations. Carleigh was simply gorgeous in her Vera Wang dress (did you see Jeff’s face the minute he saw her at the first look?!) Blue Peak Tents provided the outdoor reception tent and band, caterer Everyday Chef and Wife delivered an incredible meal and L’USA kept the dance floor alive all night. It’s always great meeting other talented vendors, and it was a pleasure working with photographer Chris VanWinkle.

It’s so great when clients turn into friends – Carleigh and Jeff, it was an honor spending the day with you. Congrats on forever!

A connection in LA led to a first date that then led to spending every day for four years together. Kassandra and Matthew are an amazing, fun and outgoing couple and it was truly an honor capturing their incredible wedding day.

When you simply watch a wedding film, you may not always get to see the hidden moments or the small intimate events that take place. We do and that’s one reason we love what we do! Family played a big role in their special day from the bridal party to the officiant to the readings during the ceremony. Surrounded by their family and most favorite friends, Kassanda and Matthew planned an epic day that everyone will remember. The ceremony and reception were held at the beautiful Meadowbrook Hall and Gardens, a national historic landmark in Rochester, MI. Florist, Natalia Januszewski from Violet Rose Floral created a romantic, ethereal atmosphere and the decor by Emerald City Designs was just stunning. It was such a great experience working with their talented photographer Niki Marie from Niki Marie Photography.

From begining to end, this special couple did not stop smiling and their friendship and love was on display. It was such a fun day and we are so excited for what the future has in store for them. Kassandra and Matthew, thank you for inviting us to play just a small part in capturing your wedding day. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness!

It was an absolutely breathtaking day in Detroit, MI at the Detroit Athletic Club for Jacqueline + Kirby’s wedding. We're so excited to share their wedding film with all of you!

This amazing couple, who met during an orientation meeting in Austin, TX, have created a love and friendship that was undeniably on display during their wedding day. Surrounded by their friends and family, they created a stunning event that was a joy for us to capture.

They had a traditional, elegant ceremony at Fort Street Presbyterian Church, which was then followed by a gorgeous reception at the Detroit Athletic Club. The girls were striking in their sage-colored floor length gowns and the guys were a perfect match in their tuxedos. Do not miss Kirby’s face in his first look at his stunning bride! The florals from Breath of Spring brought a soft color and elegance to the day and their photographer from Alicia Frances Photography captured it all alongside us.

From the getting ready to the vows to the toasts and first dance, their wedding day was fun, magical and we are so thankful we were included. Congratulations on forever, Jacqueline and Kirby, we wish you a lifetime of happiness!
