I mentioned in my last post how I like to fill up empty summer weekends: with assisting other photographers in their sessions! Same photographer, different location; and we always have a blast! The Morris Estate sits nestled in Southwest Michigan in the small town of Niles. Their Chapel — white, neat, and holding onto all its historical charm — is the perfect place to tie the knot. Wendy & Joe were married on a warm September day that began with rain, was sustained by love and summer sun, and ended with the twinkling of party lights.

Nothing gets me more excited than a pair of Badgley Mischkas & a gorgeous gown…

First Looks allow for an extended amount of portrait time…not to mention one-in-a-lifetime moments between just you & your beloved.

I’m loving the appearance of succulents this year! Wendy’s bouquet had such a gorgeous array of florals, and it suited their day perfectly.

 

Happy! Happy! Oh, to finally be Mr. & Mrs.! <3

 

Their sweet love was so pronounced after the ceremony. My favorite few moments of the day.

We were worried all morning if the tent would dry out from the morning rain, and oh my — everything came together just as it should.

First Dances. Quiet Moments.

And into the night, we celebrate! Together — with selfie-sticks and laughter and cool drinks.

Happy Wedding Day! To Joe & Wendy: thank you for allowing me to be a part of your wedding team! You are so wonderfully suited to love each other well, and I’m sending more and more virtual congratulations your way.
