Caleb & Brittany: A Summertime Wedding (West Michigan Wedding Photographer)

July 2, 2021




At the end of my early summer wedding streak was the beautiful day that was Caleb & Brittany's wedding day. Nothing but sunshine and bright skies over the Scheltema Barn. Brittany and Caleb were one of my couples who rescheduled their wedding from last year, and they were definitely rewarded with an absolutely beautiful day! 

On top of that, this venue is pretty great! It's a barn, sure, but it has so many great nooks and crannies, including a loft for the ladies to get ready. That's where we started the day, getting Brittany all dolled up before her first look with Caleb. Portraits took place before the ceremony at the couple's church, and of course we did more when we got back to the barn.

Lots of fun and dancing took place at the wedding, and it was just so much fun to see these two look at each other all day. Love is a pretty awesome thing, you know! Congrats to the both of you, and I'm glad you finally got the perfect day together!!!
