The Lutchkas The Pine Tree Barn I photographed my final wedding of the season on Saturday at one of my favorite venues,The Pine Tree Barn, and it was perfect! Gracie and Jonathan were high school sweethearts they had a magical Christmasy wedding amongst the pine trees. It was absolutely stunning and we even were lucky enough to get some snow. During the first look Jonathan didn't want to turn around right away and it was adorable. His reaction to seeing Gracie was so pure and sweet. It was the p.....

The Chippewas Little Flower Barn Ryan & Kaylene's wedding was so much fun! Between the two of them they had all 8 of their kiddos there. I love seeing families blend together and you can feel how much they all really love each other! Kaylene had two dresses for the wedding and they were both equally beautiful and amazing. After dinner we snuck out for some sunset photos and this little pup ran up and was barking at us. His owner came out and we snapped a few pics with this crazy dog! You can.....

The Koseckis Forest Edge Banquet Center It was a warm Saturday afternoon when I joined Maddy at the salon where she was getting ready with her bridesmaids and step daughter Macey. Macey just adores Maddy and the little moments of them together are just the sweetest! Once the ceremony started Adam had the biggest smile waiting for her to walk down the aisle. My favorite part of course was sneaking these two out at sunset for a few moments where they could enjoy being married and I could snag some.....

The Prianos Romantic Backyard Wedding I just love a backyard wedding. I love just how intimate this wedding was. Brian & Samantha were able to cut loose and enjoy all of their guests. They had yard games, lots of dancing, and were married under the trees. It was such a stunning day! The twins were astatic to have Samantha as their new step mom and the love this family shares was truly beautiful! I am pretty sure these two did not stop smiling the entire day. I love seeing a couple truly enjo.....

The Kings Bell Towers Falls There is just something so magical about that evening light pouring in during sunset photos at a wedding! Mike + Sophie were so much fun and down for anything for their photos. The ones of them running together are my favorite! They were smiling ear to ear and if that's not how I spend my wedding, I'm not doing it! These two have been together for 10 years. Sophie didn't think she was going to cry but during the ceremony and first dance she had some happy tears. I lov.....

Brittni is a destination photographer based in Southeast, Michigan. Should I Have Two Wedding Photographers?

During the getting ready photos typically one photographer will stay with the bride and the other photographer will stay with the groom. 2.) During a first look one photographer will capture the grooms reaction and.....

The Rotellinis Joey and Ashleys wedding started off full of anticipation and excitement. Ashley used a hair and makeup company that travels in an RV which was super cool and unique! You get the salon experience right at the venue! I had this vision of Ashley's dress hanging out the upstairs window of the venue but I couldn't get the right angle so the DJ gave me a boost onto his trailer for the perfect shot and it was worth it! Thankfully I am not afraid of heights! The ceremony was nestled in a.....

The Keatings Oh where do I even begin? I have been friends with Sarah for years and to see her this happy makes my heart so happy! Just the way Lucas looks at her is the sweetest!

The Rivets When in Port Huron, you MUST take pictures by this ivy wall. Its an absolute MUST! I've know about this gem for a few years now and I am just as obsessed with it now as I was then!

The Simaris 2020 has been anything but ordinary. Amber + Mike downsized their wedding to 35 people. It may have had less people, but it definitely did not have any less love and support. I started the day with Amber as she was getting ready for the day. She was calm and collected and you could sense how excited she was. She picked a classic styled dress that converted later in the night! Once I arrived to where Mike was waiting for Amber for their first look, I could feel the anxiousness mixed w.....

The Wards What virus? These two were thankfully still able to rock their wedding day, even in the midst of a pandemic!

A few weeks ago I traveled up to Northport Michigan (a little town northwest of Traverse City) for Stu + Michelles wedding! What a gorgeous part of Michigan! If you are ever up that way, check out this cute little town. We all stayed in this cozy little hotel (the only one in town) and Willowbrook Mill was a short walk from there. There is something so magical about little towns like this one. It reminded me so much of the town Stars Hollow that Gilmore Girls is located in! The morning of t ......
