What a way to close my 2024 wedding season! Paul and Elizabeth's wedding at the gorgeous Tabor Hill Winery in Buchanan, Michigan, was a celebration filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments. From the moment I met these two, I knew capturing their love would be an incredible experience.
Paul and Elizabeth had been eagerly planning their big day, and Elizabeth was thrilled to see her vision come to life. The warm fall tones paired with striking blue accents created a perfect autumn aesthetic. Tabor Hill's picturesque vineyard setting, located conveniently between their families' homes, was the ideal backdrop for their celebration. Brittany with Gold Hour Events brought Elizabeth's vision to life, flawlessly orchestrating every thoughtful detail.
The ceremony, held amidst the vineyard and adorned with stunning florals by Events by Ludemas, was simply magical. A string quartet accompanied the couple as they walked down the aisle under sunny skies, and a chair reserved for Elizabeth's late father added a deeply touching element to the day. Love and heartfelt emotions were palpable, making their whole ceremony an unforgettable expression of their bond.
Golden hour photos were a dream come true! Paul and Elizabeth shone in their portraits, and the bridal party brought a playful energy to the group shots. These moments were such a joy to capture before the lively reception began.
The evening was a celebration to remember, complete with so much dancing, laughter and a seasonal treat of apple cider and donuts—reminiscent of the couple's second date together—for a late-night snack that everyone loved.
Paul and Elizabeth, you two are incredible. It's been such a privilege to witness and document your love story. Congratulations now and always—you're the perfect ending to a wonderful season!
