There aren't a lot of weddings that I do like this. But when they do come along, I am always happy to be a part of them. Josh and Jami wanted their wedding at this chapel WAYYYY back in the woods that they came across on one of their outdoorsy adventures. I'm not kidding when I say it was WAY back in the woods. Such a small but adorable little place. The weather was wet but I think everything went perfectly. There were just a handful of guests and we filled the chapel up, but seriously. Perfect.
I think one of the best parts of the wedding was watching Josh. I had only just met him that day, but I could tell he was over the moon to be marrying Jami. He was beaming, especially when he finally got to see her in her dress, walking down the short but sweet aisle toward him. Photos below ;) Being a part of someone's happiness like this is so amazing.
Josh and Jami had rented a cabin just outside of Grayling in the woods as well, and spent their mini honeymoon there. They didn't have any sort of reception the day they got married, just dinner and conversation with their close family and friends, but I couldn't picture this wedding any better than it was.
AND Jami suggested we do their portraits in the river so... You can image how much fun I had with that! Enjoy!
