Brent and Kaitlyn's wedding has been and will be the longest wedding day I've had this year. My assistant, Jess, and I set off for Traverse City at 8am, to make sure we got there on time. The couple purchased a 10 hour package, and then we had another two and a half hours home... phew! Longest day on record. But it was a beautiful day and worth it. These two, who are super sweet and I love working with them, had nothing but sunshine and blue skies, and decent temperatures too. Though there were a few hiccups... the bus went to Brent's house instead of picking them up at the church, I had Kaitlyn lean against two walls at different times, that got either her or her dress a little messy (so sorry, Kaitlyn!)... it was a great day!
One of the coolest things of the day were the locations we got for our wedding party and couple photos. A few of my GR photographer friends suggested the old state hospital in TC. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was amazing. It's a HUGE restoration project, but there are still some rundown parts which made for some awesome photos if I do say so myself. And despite the Bay being way down from our lack of rain this summer, we found a fine beach for some bright and colorful water shots. Yay!
Congrats again, Brent and Kaitlyn. I had a blast working with the two of you (finally!) and I sincerely hope to see you again in the future... maybe at Janae and Isaac's wedding next May?!? ;-)
