Fall Engagement Photographer | Danielle & Ronnie

We are so excited to introduce you to Danielle & Ronnie,who hired Mulberry & Sage Photography be their Fall Engagement Photographer. They are getting married October 20th, 2018. Danielle knew she wanted a fall engagement session so we put them on our calendar during the wedding photography consultation to ensure they had a great date. Unfortunately, the cold weather & rain delayed our session by almost 2 weeks, and pushed us past peak season for leaf color. Constant open communication is something we are proud to offer our couples.

We learned Danielle & Ronnie were worried about all the color being gone from the trees and a they were a little anxious for the location of their session. At Mulberry & Sage Photography, we don’t rest until we are able to give our clients exactly what they are looking for. We drove around St. Clair County until we were positive we found the perfect spot and the leaves and views did not disappoint!

Danielle’s sister did her hair, and she looked stunning. We were also a little obsessed with Ronnie’s beard 😉 It’s not all about looks though; what makes a session great is the chemistry between the couple. Danielle and Ronnie are completely in love in a adorably smitten, and couldn’t take their hands off each other. When we began shooting they mentioned never having photos taken as a couple before. It was our honor to shoot their first session. We were delighted with the results and we hope you are too!

Wedding Photography Team | Amanda & AJ Engagement Session

We were so excited that Amanda & AJ hired us as their wedding photography team. We were equally thrilled that they chose a wedding collection that included an engagement session. Engagement sessions are the absolute best way to get to know each other and we fully recommend them to all of our brides and grooms. We love meeting our couples at the consultation, but the engagement session is where we get to witness your relationship first hand. By learning your love languages, we can help you relax quicker, and get comfortable in front of the camera. Are you romantic, and love kissing poses, or snuggling up as close as possible? Maybe the thought of that makes you laugh. Perhaps you prefer the candid moments we catch in-between the poses that show the silly side of your relationship. Once we take the time to get to know you as a couple, we can guarantee a gallery full of photographs that you will love. When we see you again on your wedding day, you will be less nervous about being photographed and just focus on your wedding day and not our camera.

Amanda & AJ are getting married September 8th, 2018. We decided a fall engagement session would be perfect for them-and it was! Mother Nature gifted us with fabulous color in the trees, and beautiful weather for their engagement session. We couldn’t be any happier with how they turned out.

We hope you enjoy this small sample from their engagement photography gallery they will receive. It’s one of the perks of hiring Mulberry & Sage Photography as your Wedding Photography Team. If you’re in the market for an engagement or wedding photographer, we’d love to connect with you and chat about your perfect engagement session.

Port Huron Yacht Club Wedding Photographer | Liz & Jordan

One of the best parts of booking your Port Huron wedding with Mulberry & Sage Photography is the teamwork mentality and aspect we bring to the table. You may remember from yesterday’s blog post that Courtney photographed a beautiful wedding on Saturday in Port Huron. Well, Megan and Kathryn spent the day on Saturday being Liz and Jordan’s Port Huron Yacht Club Wedding Photographer team, and it was a gorgeous day (amidst the down-pour rain all day!) full of love, happiness, and laughter.

Liz and Jordan are a fun loving couple, but we think we portrayed that perfectly with their engagement session that we photographed earlier this year. Their wedding was supposed to be outdoors at the Port Huron Yacht Club, however, with the rain coming down, it was moved last minute indoors. Everyone was super cool with it though, and adapted perfectly to the last minute change. Drinking good beer and liquor is a big tradition for Liz and Jordan, so it didn’t surprise us at all when we arrived to photograph the guys getting ready that they were getting ready to pour out a shot from a bottle of Hennessy that was saved specifically for a special occasion for more than 20 years, or the fact that Liz and her bridesmaids insisted on doing photos in the bar at Freighter’s before heading over to the yacht club. But that’s what makes our job so fun: showcasing the special details of everyone’s special day, and what’s important to them, specifically.

Capturing the small details that Liz worked so hard on was really important to her, as well as Jordan’s reaction to when she walked down the aisle. And Jordan didn’t disappoint! He dabbed away tears and everyone in the room could see just how much he loved and cherished his bride. The room upstairs was decorated beautifully, and we had a blast celebrating their reception and capturing many sweet and tender, as well as hysterical, moments with them there, as well.

We hope you love this small glimpse into when we were Liz & Jordan’s Port Huron Yacht Club Wedding Photographer team. If you’re looking for a Michigan wedding photographer, we’d love to connect, and you can email us at hello@mulberryandsage.com

Black River Country Club Wedding Photographer | Jessica & Chris

We spent a wet and rainy Saturday with Chris and Jessica being their Black River Country Club Wedding Photographer for the day. If you want to judge a couple’s strengths and true personalities, let it pour rain allllll day long on their perfectly-planned fall wedding. Chris and Jessica were the best; no dampened spirits, and nothing could take away from their excitement. Even with a last minute decision to move their ceremony into the reception venue, we never heard a single complaint. That is how we know that they are a great match, and it was an honor to witness the love they share.

Jessica made many of the decorations and our favorite was the corsage for her grandmother. Her grandpa passed away last year and Jessica added a photo of her grandparents on their wedding day to the corsage. That way he could be there in spirit. It was such a heartfelt moment to capture as she gave it to her grandmother. Jessica is just so thoughtful like that. It was evident in many of the little touches around the room. We also loved how she surprised Chris, an avid star wars fan, with not only the coolest cuff-links we’ve ever seen, but also a grooms cake-an awesome rendition of the millenium falcon.

Chris was completely smitten with his bride, something that we love to see. His reaction to seeing her walk down the aisle was something all brides dream of. He was visibly blown away. Jessica was stunning. He could not take his eyes off her all night and we think he sang every word of their first dance to her. It was like they were the only ones in the room. Also, while we are on the topic of dancing, Chris surprised his mom with Cotton Eyed Joe as their first dance song-for about one minute anyways. It was an inside joke between them and her reaction was priceless!

Since it rained all day with not a single break we had to think quick for a location for photos after the ceremony. We have to give a big thank you to Tonya, the event planner at Tio Gordos restaurant. They came through for us and shuffled their parties around to go out of their way to accommodate our wedding party. If you haven’t seen their event space yet, you should check it out. Building relationships across Port Huron is very important to us, and something we pride ourselves in doing to offer the very best experience for any couple that books with Mulberry & Sage Photography.

We are thrilled that you choose us as your Black River Country Club Wedding Photographer. If you’re getting married and looking for a Port Huron wedding photographer, we’d love to connect. We hope you love this small preview into Jessica & Chris’ wedding day.

Royal Oak Wedding Photographer | Ann & Brian

On October 7th, we got the chance to spend the day watching Ann and Brian commit their lives to each other, and be their Royal Oak Wedding Photographer team for the day. Ann and Brian are both very active in their church, so getting married at The National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica was important to them, as well as having their favorite Priest perform their ceremony. And we completely agreed; he did an amazing job and we loved watching their special relationship as a couple shine through his sermon and address for the day.

We began by taking some gorgeous portraits of Ann in a room which held some sentiment for her and her family. Her older sister (And matron of honor) got married at the same church, and her absolute favorite photo from her wedding day is a portrait of her before the ceremony, looking out the decorative and ornate windows in the prep room; so of course we had to recreate that moment with Ann, and we are so glad we did that. It’s easily one of our favorite images of their special day, as well.

Then after the ceremony and mass service, we stepped outdoors into their beautiful garden area for some bridal party photos which we loved. We then took a short little trip over to a church about 15 minutes away that both Ann and Brian loved, and wanted to do their portraits in front of. Oh my goodness, the grounds were seriously stunning and we can’t get enough of those photos from their day.

Ann and Brian’s wedding reception was at The Bird & The Bread in Birmingham, Michigan. The food was delicious, and we loved all the uplighting that the room had, and how the space was perfect for their theme. The pillars are decorated with a rustic wooden tree-vibe, and it really tied all of their details together so well.

Everything was wonderful, and we loved being their Royal Oak Wedding Photographer team. If you’re looking for a Metro-Detroit wedding photographer, we’d love to connect with you and set up a consultation. We hope you enjoy this small preview into Ann & Brian’s wedding day.
