You can’t get a more perfect venue in South Haven than Black River Barn. Nestled near the picturesque lakeside town, in its own wooded arena, for larger weddings, it’s the closest you can get to a venue that has it all.

From the welcome party the night before on Sunset Beach, to the ceremony overlooking the marina, to finally dining and dancing late into the night with Lake Michigan in the background, Dakota and Billy’s day perfectly encapsulated the truly special experience that is a Northern Michigan Wedding.

I had to put a side-by-side of the groom’s jacket change just before the reception. Port393 has champagne on tap if you needed just another reason to book with them, and made a pop of color to the timeless monochromatic tablescape.

Hail! Hail! To the most epic wedding in Ann Arbor, right in the middle of the University of Michigan. Erin and Kyle had everything, from soft romantic florals, to an underground disco-adorned afterparty.

What a way to end 2022. Not only by working with the fabulous Rhiannon Bosse, but also kicking off the season with the most festive December wedding and all the holiday details.

Abby and Kevin brought the Chicago vibe to their wedding at The Fields of Michigan. The laid back, yet luxurious feel of their day had everything from Friendship bracelets, to Prada loafers.

Emily’s statement veil was such an organic element tied into the wedding at Of the Land in Battle Creek Michigan. The colorful field of flowers was the perfect backdrop for a first look.

We loved the old Hollywood glam vibes that Whitney and Christian brought to their wedding at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. After arriving in a classic car they entered through the lavishly covered stair case, and danced into the night to dueling pianos.

It takes a lot to pull off an AirBnB Wedding, but when you dins the perfect house with that spot on vibe, it feels like it was made just for your day. Erin and Stephen had a modern vision with a retro twist that The Frost House completely captured. Dining poolside with striped umbrellas that matched the sleek black chairs, was all breathtakingly photographed by Feather & Stone.

Chloe and David brought the California vibes to their wedding at Aurora Cellars, a vineyard up near the Leelanau Peninsula in Michigan. The willow tree and green branches growing up the poles of the tent brought the Northern Michigan natural elements into their wedding day.

The balloon sleeves of my dreams. It was like this dress and this venue were made simultaneously. The soft ivory fabrics, leather and wood details brought everything together for this magical Nature Michigan wedding.

Can we take a moment for the dress? It’s hard to not be anything but whimsical and romantic when your wedding backdrop is the amazing Aurora Cellars in Leelanau.

Danielle’s green wedding suit may have been my favorite suit of the year. With the high colored floral shirt next to Loni’s sleek white jumpsuit, this couple delivered the looks for their wedding at the Downtown Market in Grand Rapids.
