It was the most perfect weather we have had all wedding season! We are so happy for newly wedded, Mr. & Mrs. Latuszek ❤️ I guess burying the hotdog in the ground for good weather really worked for you guys 🤣❤️ You two really put a lot of love and planning, that it really showed throughout your weekend.

We were introduced to the Mexican traditional wedding dance and it was so much fun to watch your guest “snake” through your strong bond 💪🏼“Guests weave in and out as the couple stand on chairs holding a piece of fabric. The snake represents the joys and challenges that life will throw at the couple. The bride and groom standing firm together symbolizes their strength and unity, supported by friends and family.” We love being introduced to cultural traditions. It really brought an extra layer of fun and meaning to the celebration!

It was beautiful to see how all the elements—flowers, decor, food, the wedding party, family and the joyful spirit of the guests came together so flawlessly. It was perfection! We’ve also never seen a groom more excited to eat cake 🤣 Aunt Lorri’s monster cookies were right up there too! So yummy! Congratulations to Nick and Nikki Latuszek, married on August 30th, 2025. Here are our behind the scenes pics and the sneak peeks from local photographer, Freeborn Photography. Great work!!!

The big day finally arrived for newlyweds Matthew and Madison Smith—and what a stunning celebration it was! The wedding tribe came together with incredible energy, helping to decorate, organize, and support these two lovebirds during their special weekend. It’s always heartwarming to witness the barn filled with so much love and support.

Matt and Madison certainly earned the title for sharing the most smooches during any ceremony rehearsal! 😘 They took their practice very seriously, and it clearly paid off. We must admit we were worried one of the adorable flower girls wouldn’t make it down the aisle! But with her signature sass—complete with a sucker and a $2 bribe on the wedding day—she proved to be a champ 💪🏼. Witnessing Matt with Jordan and the couple’s two girls running down the aisle for first looks is a moment we’ll never forget. Hearts were bursting with love and excitement!

This wedding season has kept everyone on their toes, especially with the unpredictable rain. Luckily, Matt and Madison were blessed with a gorgeous day to walk down the aisle and Madison was stunning walking to her groom filled with so much emotion and love. The cooler weather allowed the barn doors to be swung open, creating a perfect atmosphere—while the dance floor soon heated up with all the celebratory fun! It was a day filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories for everyone involved.

Here are our behind the scenes sneak peek pics. Congratulations to the newly wedded, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, married on August 23rd, 2025. Wishing you and your adorable family a lifetime of love and happiness 🎉

Congratulations to the newlyweds, JJ and Billie Jewell! 💖 The rain held off in time for a beautiful ceremony in the garden, where Billie dazzled in pink and JJ, along with his crew, kept it casual yet sharp. It’s clear that JJ has finally found his “one” and tied the knot with his true love—what a patient man he is, and Billie was definitely worth the wait!

Local musician and DJ Logan kept the festivities lively and fun throughout the night. Billie’s bridesmaids were also 🔥 🔥 🔥on that dance floor. The love was fierce with the wedding party and they did not dissapoint. The adorable photobooth added to the celebration, and Billie’s simple, elegant decor made everything feel classy. A big shoutout to Val and the team for their fantastic setup!

The bar was stocked with a delightful selection of bourbon and whisky, highlighting the groom’s passion showcased on his YouTube channel (see pic). Don’t forget to catch Groom, aka Double J (the talent), alongside Big H (everyone’s favorite) and Nate Dogg (Nathan 😄) on their channel, where they teach you all about whisky and distilleries.

We wish you both a lifetime filled with love and happiness! Here’s a peek at some behind-the-scenes moments along with sneak photos from the talented SP Photo Co. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Jewell, who were married on August 16th, 2025! 🥂❤️

Danny's vibrant personality and infectious laughter lit up the entire room, and it was evident where he got those fabulous traits from after meeting his wonderful family! The personalized fishing nets for the groomsmen were such a unique and thoughtful touch. 🎣

Drew and Carrah’s special day was truly the definition of being in the moment and going with the flow. These two love their friends and family in a big way. Carrah has a heart of gold and did a beautiful job decorating the barn with her tribe. Lisa’s cinnamon rolls from Beechwood Cafe were oh so yummy and we loved having DJ Big Matt for the first time. We were so happy that the weather was perfection and the flowers in full bloom ❤️🌺💕

It’s clear that their love for each other and their family shone brightly, making for unforgettable memories. Here are our behind the scenes sneak peek pics along with Stellar Still Photography’s first looks ❤️Congratulations to newly wedded, Mr. & Mrs. Sorenson, married on August 2nd, 2025.

Newly wedded, John and Emily Adams wedding day was filled with love, warmth, and beautiful moments, despite the rain! The indoor ceremony room saved the day and the imagery (see our pic) of Emily’s guardian angels shining down on her added such a magical touch. It was heartwarming to see that even the rain brought good luck with a rainbow making an appearance.

The fact that this blended family has such sweet kids added a lovely dynamic to the celebration; seeing them play in the garden area with other adorable kids and dance on the dance floor brought joy to everyone. John’s oldest son was taken back how his dad retrieved the garter belt under Emily‘s dress 🤣 We have a feeling this story will be told and retold for years to come. This will be a lasting memory for him! John’s grandmother showcasing her strength is a beautiful tribute to family roots, and it speaks volumes about the love and support surrounding John and Emily. It was no surprise that Emily’s mom and stepmom’s emotions ran high for Emily’s special day after they could barely make it through without a dry eye during rehearsal. Watching their little girl marry the love of her life was an incredibly poignant moment. Emily, we cannot fail to mention that dress either 👰🏻‍♀️ What a gorgeous dress ❤️

Overall, it was a day filled with cherished memories, joyful tears, and an abundance of love. Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Adams, married on July 26th, 2025. Here are
our behind-the-scenes moments along with Take Two Photography's first looks stunning shots. We wish you the happiest of years as you begin this beautiful journey together! 💞🌈👼

What a beautiful and unforgettable wedding celebration for Chad and Chris! After five years of planning and anticipation, their special day finally came to life. It was wonderful to see friends and family gather from near and far—Pennsylvania, California, and Florida—creating an atmosphere filled with love and joy.

Chad’s family truly honored a PA tradition by bringing along 500 homemade cookies and Yuengling beer, adding a personal touch to the dessert table! What a great family tradition! And how could we forget the local favorite, Nibbles, serving up delicious sundaes? Yes, please!

A huge shout-out goes to Val, Chris' sister, whose efforts ensured that every detail was perfect. Her love and support for both Chris and Chad were evident throughout the entire celebration. The wedding party, along with officiant Alyssa, brought such energy and warmth to the day! You guys were just awesome! The atmosphere on the dance floor was electric! Guests really knew how to celebrate these two, and Iles Entertainment kept the hits coming, making it impossible to resist joining in the fun 🕺🏻🪩💃🏼

Congratulations to Chad and Chris on their beautiful wedding, married on July 19th, 2025! Here’s to a lifetime of happiness together! The love, laughter and kindness that you surround yourself with was beautiful to witness❤️ Here are our behind-the-scenes moments along with Take Two Photography's first looks stunning shots.

What a beautiful day it was for newly wedded, Cullen and Brianna Petersen! The anticipation leading up to the ceremony had everyone on their toes, as the weather kept us guessing. Brianna's dream was to say her vows in our garden area, and just when it seemed like storm clouds might ruin the moment, nature surprised us by clearing the skies and letting the sun shine through at just the right time. It was a magical start to their special day.

The love radiating from family and friends was beautiful, and as we moved to the reception, the dance floor transformed into a fun celebration. When the inflatable guitars made their debut during "Don’t Stop Believin'," it was an instant cue for guests to unleash their inner rock stars. We knew then that this would be a night filled with unforgettable moments and plenty of dancing— and you all certainly delivered! The award for best air guitar goes to father of the bride 🎉

A big shout-out to the wedding party, whose energy was simply contagious! The joy and love they exuded added so much to the celebration. The bond between Brianna and her sister was absolutely heartwarming and provided a glimpse into the fun, lively household they grew up in. Her enthusiasm for the couple truly lit up the room.

It was a joyous day, filled with love, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. Here are our behind the scenes, sneak peek pics along with their professional photographer’s first look pics!! Great job to K Benavidez Imagery on capturing their day perfectly. We especially love the boat pics in our pond ❤️ Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Petersen married on July 12th, 2025! Here’s to a beautiful journey ahead! 🎉

Today, guests gathered in the love to honor the life of Connie Lou, a remarkable woman who touched the hearts of all who knew her. The barn, decorated with vibrant pretty flowers and pictures from a beautiful slideshow, captured cherished moments from Connie Lou’s life and reflected her vibrant spirit. Family and friends shared stories, laughter and lots of tears which was a genuine testament to the love and joy she brought into the world.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to her family for entrusting us with the honor of hosting this celebration of life ❤️

The weekend started out with a lot of personal touches, like Caitlynn wearing her mother’s wedding dress from 1995 that her grandmother altered and fitted specially for the bride to be for her rehearsal dinner attire. The meatball stain on the dress and the taper candles from her parent’s wedding 30 years ago added a charming, real-life element that speaks to the history and love that weddings often encompass. 😍 Caitlynn framed all her parking passes from when she first started dating Jake almost 10 years ago, while he was attending Oakland University. She knew something special was brewing if she saved those as memorabilia. The creative “bench guest book” made by bride’s dad was truly unique and a first in the barn.

Jake embraced the moment on the dance floor, proving that love can bring out the best in anyone. You NEVER would have guessed that he shared, “I’m not a dancer” the day before. They shared the last dance just alone with the fairy lights, having their special moment to take in the last seconds of their wedding. Their family's involvement and support really shined through, making the weekend even more memorable.

It was a magical celebration filled with love and joy. Thank you for sharing this special moment with us! 🥰Congratulations to newly wedded, Mr. & Mrs. Greer, married on July 5th, 2025!
