A Postcard From
Riverbend Estate, Otsego, Michigan
From, Rayna
 
Imagine a Pinterest board made for a wedding day at an equestrian farm and estate on a waterfront property as spring has just started making its way back to western Michigan, a classic and elegant touch of florals & tablescapes executed by a vendor team of some of west Michigan’s finest, a checkered black & white dance floor with a full floral wall photo booth nearby, and a bartender that can also juggle your cocktails behind the counter.
I somehow got lucky enough to see that Pinterest board dream come to life and photograph it at a styled shoot for Riverbend Estate. Riverbend Estate is a relatively new venue to western Michigan, located in Otsego. The property sits on the Kalamazoo River and is operated by a family born and raised in the area that had a vision and brought it to life. The venue boasts a mansion equipped with suites for getting ready and lodging, a barn remodeled into a reception area, and offers options for an indoor or outdoor ceremony.
I have a couple of weddings booked here for the upcoming season and cannot wait to get back to this special spot to photograph them. An incredible addition to the West Michigan wedding industry!
