Ruby Lodge Wedding | Natasha & Dan

We were thrilled when Natasha contacted us back in 2016 to photograph her Ruby Lodge wedding in Ruby, Michigan. Courtney has known Natasha since she was four years old; they are old family friends.

Every detail in Natasha and Dan’s wedding was spot-on and beautiful. She recently opened up her very own floral crown business, so naturally her handmade floral crowns were on display and a main part in her wardrobe selection. She actually had five different dress choices, and left it up to her bridesmaids and family to help her narrow down her dress choice on the morning of. (And, we must say, her choices were stellar.)

As soon as she met Dan, everyone immediately knew that he was her soulmate. He complimented every single aspect of her life, and embraced Teagan, Natasha’s 2 year old daughter, as his own. He loves her so much, he even wrote a special part into their wedding day, where he presented Teagan with her very own ring to match theirs.

We love photographing weddings at Ruby Lodge. It feels like you’re stepping into another area, and has almost a Northern-Michigan feel, between the massive pine trees and the 40 acre inland lake ceremony location. We also love how many beautiful locations there are to choose from when photographing there, from the rustic green barn, to the tree-lined road.

The reception was very fun; their first dance was to Say You Won’t Let Go by James Arthur. It was perfect for Natasha and Dan, and Dan even broke out into song at one point, singing along sweetly. Teagan even danced alongside them, and we don’t think there was a single dry eye in the house. It really resonated with us, because it was a very comforting song, and really made it feel like he was going to take care of his girls forever.

Natasha & Dan, thank you for booking Mulberry & Sage Photography to be your Ruby Lodge Wedding photographer. We love being professional Port Huron wedding photographers, and can’t wait to discuss your special wedding day photography needs.

Golden Hawk Golf Club Wedding | Erin & Kevin

Mulberry & Sage Photography kicked off our 2017 wedding photography season with a total bang, celebrating alongside Erin & Kevin at the Golden Hawk Golf Club in Casco, Michigan. Courtney and Kathryn spent the day hanging out with their ultra-fun bridal party, and couldn’t stop raving about their experience, as well as the stunning details that Erin and Kevin added, that truly transformed their special day into a unique wedding.

Erin and Kevin were a completely laid back couple, who really wanted their wedding day to be calm and serene, and a special moment (first and foremost) for them to look back on and remember those special memories. Erin appreciates candid photojournalistic style wedding photography, and really didn’t love the idea of having tons of “posed” photos. She really wanted the photographers to capture the wedding day as the moments appeared organically. It was an extremely emotional day, and the hankies were out dabbing tears of joy all day long.

They wanted to begin with a first look at each other, where they could cherish each other alone, as well as read their written vows to each other with privacy. We loved being an observer through the lens for this moment, and those ended up being our favorite photos of the day. The first look took place at Blake’s Apple Orchard, and it was absolutely gorgeous with all the blossoming apple trees. We really encourage having a first look before the ceremony, so that the “stress” of portraits can be done, and you won’t have any hangry guests complaining that they are waiting too long for dinner.

Erin & Kevin had lots of unique touches at their Golden Hawk Golf Club wedding and reception. They planted a tree, in lieu of a unity candle or sand. They had a giant tower of donuts, instead of a cake. Oh, and their beloved dog, Max, was an active member of their bridal party. Did we forget to tell you about Max? They are obsessed with Max, and so were we.

We loved spending the day capturing Erin & Kevin’s Golden Hawk Golf Club wedding and reception. We hope that you enjoy some of our favorite images from their special day. If you’re in the market for a St. Clair County wedding photographer, we’d love to chat and tell you about our team of photographers.

Mulberry & Sage Blog | Port Huron Bean Dock Wedding Photographer

Last fall, we were lucky enough to spend a rainy Saturday autumn day with Gerrid and Lauren and be their Port Huron Bean Dock Wedding Photographer. Photographing in Port Huron is something that will never get old for us. Here’s a fun rabbit-trail moment : all three of us were raised here locally, and all three of us moved away in our 20’s. Then, we all recently returned to the Blue Water Area as professional photographers. What that means is that we truly know some great areas to explore for photos. There are so many hidden gems that are around Port Huron, that are seriously perfect for weddings and wedding photos, and it doesn’t have to only be viewed as “pretty” on bright, sunshiny days in the middle of summer.

Gerrid and Lauren’s wedding was the perfect example of that fact. It was last fall, however, when the day of the wedding arrived, it was pouring down rain. But we didn’t let that put a damper on their wedding day parade (so many puns there!) They got ready at a pretty church in Marysville, where we did a sweet first-look, and then everyone piled into a party bus and we went exploring the area for fun photo locations that had close-by shelter, in case the sky opened up and rained again. We were very lucky, and had about a 2 hour window in the middle of the day that had intermittent rain, but nothing terrible.

Their ceremony and reception was in the Bean Dock in Port Huron, and it was awesome to see the warehouse get transformed into a beautiful area, full of pretty details, purple and white flowers, and all of Gerrid & Lauren’s loved ones, beaming with love as they watched them tie the knot. Their adorable bulldog named Bowzer was even their ring bearer! They had a super-fun reception, and their friends were laughing and partying alongside them, all night.

We loved being their Port Huron Bean Dock Wedding Photographer, and would love to speak with you about becoming your team of wedding photographers! Shoot us an email: hello@mulberryandsage.com
