To a fairytale wedding,

Natalie & Ryan's Wedding Day - Castle Farms, Charlevoix, Michigan

My first year as a wedding photographer in Michigan has been absolutely incredible. There is no shortage of beautiful venues or wonderful people in this state.

For this October wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix, Michigan, I was blessed with the most welcoming couple, beautiful autumn weather, and an insane venue that is a literal castle. This place had multiple gardens, a building so large I got lost in it multiple times, and a working staff that felt like they were from a dream. When I imagine a venue a Disney princess would reside.. this is it. Natalie as my bride embodied the kindness and presence of a Disney princess. While we were taking her bridal portraits we had butterflies and bumble bees galore landing on her. She was Snow White.

It was such a wonderful experience getting to photograph at this venue. I feel so on fire with inspiration when I'm surrounded by nature. Each corner I turned I was encouraged with so much creativity, because every corner of this place was packed with natural beauty. I cannot wait to be back <3.
