Buckle up, everyone! This is a LONG one, but that's because there are just so many amazing shots to share with all of you. From the beginning of this year when I met Abby and John, I have been excited for their wedding. They are such a comfortable couple to be around, and I had so much fun working with them before their wedding day. But we're not hear to talk about their fabulous winter session, AWESOME spring session, or even their fun summer one, we're here to talk about their wedding!
This was a steamy one. Weather at the end of August here in Michigan was hitting some pretty hot and extremely humid points, and this wedding day was no exception. Despite that and all the sweatiness, it was really an amazing day. The venue we were shooting at, Farrand Hall in Colon, is such a gorgeous place with so many perfect photo locations. Everything about it is what I dream of in a venue! And working with John and Abby on their biggest day was really a pleasure. Their family and friends were so much fun and even though we were literally sweating all day long, it was pretty much perfect anyway.
The couple did a first look, complete with lots of fun gifts for Abby from John, and then we did some portraits. We even got their old pup, Baxter, in on it for a bit. He was there for ringbearer duties and was a pretty fun guest to be around for most of the evening. Things were pretty chill and the group was great. They kept things small and intimate in order to make the event more personal and it really went well in that regard.
It was way too hot for dancing, which was pretty sad, but a few people busted out the s'mores and such and the night still was a great one. Thank you both SO MUCH for choosing me to be there for your big day. It truly was an honor! And now... PHOTOS!
