Summer Country Estate Wedding

weddings

Mike & Ellie brought the party this summer. They truly had me grinning ear to ear during all of the fun wild moments and tearing up just the same as all the guests during the touching & sweet moments. Hosted at The Oakley, a country estate wedding venue, in Holly, Michigan.

First Looks, First Tears, First Smiles

Four first looks. Four loving moments. All worth it to spend a moment alone with your loved ones. First up the bridesmaids.

Yes, indeed she does look like a queen. And should be treated like one (including a fun moment of white gloved bridesmaids truly taking their ladies in waiting duty seriously).

Private Vows

Yes, you can even have your private moment away from cameras. Vows were not heard by anyone else but them. Absolutely romantic. This moment was theirs and only theirs.

AS THE BRIDE STEPS ONTO THE AISLE

Some of my favorite moments on a wedding day are the moments of unadulterated joy & emotion. For example, when Mike & Ellie stepped into their venue, they were so swept in the moment of “we did it.”

Touching, romantic, raucous, and fun filled. Here’s to another toast to you Mike & Ellie.
