An iconic weekend that blended intimate family moments and an off-the-charts party

For a couple that valued intentional time with their closest family members as well as a large celebration with all their friends, a full weekend of festivities was the right move. Friday included a small church ceremony with their closest family only, in which the bride wore her mother's wedding dress in the same church where her parents had married years prior. An Italian-themed al fresco rehearsal dinner and welcome party followed, ramping up the energy for what would be an incredible wedding celebration on Saturday. The weather was beyond perfect, and a ceremony overlooking Lake Michigan at the historic Shoreacres club led into one of the most energetic receptions I've ever captured, held in a clear top tent that allowed the breeze from the bluffs to come in all evening.

Olivia — we wanted to express our sincere gratitude to you for making our wedding weekend so incredibly special. Your energy throughout the weekend was incredible - you made us feel so calm and comfortable-all of my bridesmaids were obsessed with you!

And the photos - wow. you are so talented.
They are truly stunning, and we have spent the last month revisiting them and reminiscing on the magical moments that you captured.

Will’s mom cannot stop raving about your unique ability to perfectly capture a "micro moment" that occurred for a mere instant.

We feel so grateful that you took us on as clients and will always cherish our relationship with you we mill never be able to thank you enough —
you are amazing.

Lots of love - M&W
