October 21, 2017
It's been awhile since I've gotten up to Northern Michigan for a wedding. However I knew this one was coming for awhile. Krystal was one of those brides who tells you they HAVE to have you be their photographer, and of course I love brides like that! We did their engagement session way back in August of 2016, so we've been ready for this one for awhile!
The day was stunning, especially for late October in Northern Michigan. It was 70 degrees all day and perfect. The colors were out in full force and generally it was just awesome. Krystal and her girls were getting ready at Caberfae, the guys were in the hotel while the girls dressed up in at the reception hall. We were able to get a ton of great shots beforehand, including lots of family shots. During the ceremony, there were tears and emotions all over the place. Jason and Krystal are a great couple; so in love and it really showed all day long.
Portraits went awesome. The lighting was fabulous, and both of them were great sports when it came to photos and then it was time for the reception... dinner was good. Cake was great. Dancing was awesome (yay for up-lighting!), and there was even a little surprise at the end.
We got out on a high note around here.
Congrats, Jason and Krystal. I wish you both the very best in life and love!
