Beau & Emmaleigh exchanged vows on a crisp Saturday morning outside of the St. Joseph / Maud Preston Palenske Memorial Library under trees that swayed with well wishes. We’ve never photographed a morning wedding, but the day was pure perfection — portraits at Tiscornia Park Beach and an exquisite reception at Harbor Shores. Because exquisite really is brunch with waffles and scrambled eggs and homemade jam. They added a independent band and someone took out a selfie-stick and we went and had ourselves a party.

Emmaleigh is (YOU GUESSED IT!) a teacher, and we adore Beau’s admiration for her!

We love when our couples opt for a First Look! These two met for a few minutes before the ceremony at a garden just by the library. Everything about St. Joseph just makes us fall in love — the cobblestone, the lamp posts, the well-kept gardens and grass — but nothing compares to the love we feel about Beau & Emmaleigh. And her dress? Gorg. <3

Yes, yes, yes. Heaven came down.

Harbor Shores Wedding St. Joseph, Michigan

I told you there was homemade jam! I might’ve taken more than one…

OF COURSE, we had to pop over to Tiscornia Beach (their engagement session also took place here!) for more family photos and bridal party portraits!

Fierce, and I love.

Look at these two making me all weak at the knees. And that Lake Michigan? Teals and blues from my own heart.

Three cheers for Tiscornia Beach and Harbor Shores Wedding St. Joseph, MI !
