private estate summer wedding on Lake Michigan

Nicole & Ben were engaged on the west side of this Great Lake and married on the east side of the same lake on an August day. Nothing to reunite family and friends like a Lake Michigan wedding -- just so happens that because these two reunited after high school, they'd be having a wedding!

They exchanged vows on a windy afternoon overlooking the cerulean waters; and they laughed and loved with their closest friends & family at a private estate. The sun came out for socializing during cocktail hour, and we happily took the celebration downtown Holland to City Flats for their reception.

I'm so thankful to have spent this day with Nicole and Ben. They went with the flow of Michigan weather (rain, wind, and sun!) and soaked in the love of each other and every moment they could spend with their guests. Congratulations!
