Lexington Elopement Photographer | Kat & Nicholas

After spending a spur-of-the-moment Saturday afternoon in August with Kat and Nicholas, we have the opinion that everybody needs to witness or photograph and elopement like theirs sometime in their lives. Kat and Nick contacted us (literally) a week before their wedding day to be their Lexington Elopement Photographer. They were in the planning stages of coming over to this side of the state (they live in Kalamazoo, now) and get married on the shores of their special place in Lexington Heights, Michigan. They wanted a very small event, with only close friends and family present, and including their children into their day was also very important to them.

It was forecasted to severally storm that day, so instead, they had their ceremony in Kat’s parent’s back yard on their patio. Nick’s sister got ordained on the internet to perform their service, and surprised them by also putting together a sand ceremony to blend their lives together. Kat and Nicholas met in the theater, performing for the play A Streetcar Named Desire. Their ceremony was the most moving ceremony we’ve probably ever witnessed. They recited their own vows to each other, and even some Shakespeare was quoted at the end. After their kiss, they quickly went inside and got a champagne toast going, and the celebration began.

Remember how we mentioned the weather forecast? Well, it turned out to be a gorgeous day, and we spent some time after their ceremony in Lexington Heights doing some intimate portraits with the two of them, and then we met up in Lexington before their dinner reception for some larger group family shots. They had dinner on Lake Huron, and spent the day celebrating their love and new vows an promises to each other.

Kat was a stunning bride, but their love for each other really shines through in these photos, and we couldn’t help but share some of our favorites with you. If you’re planning an elopement in Eastern Michigan, we’d love to discuss becoming your Lexington Elopement Photographer. We have smaller packages available, perfect for an intimate elopement celebration!

Port Huron Backyard Wedding Photographers | Brooke & Mike

We feel like we use the term “backyard wedding” loosely when we describe Mike and Brooke’s amazing and intimate wedding in August. Brooke and Mike contacted Mulberry & Sage Photography to be their Port Huron Backyard Wedding Photographers for their carnival themed wedding happening in Mike’s Dad’s backyard on the Black River. The carnival theme really fit their personalities, because they are both super laid-back, and fun loving.

Mike and Brooke had a private vow ceremony before their ceremony, and read each other their amazing vows in private, and in front of a really cool (and photogenic!) shed that Mike helped his dad custom build. Brooke also had a first look reveal with her Dad, and it was so sweet and heartfelt, we literally were tearing up behind the camera.

Even though their bridal party was large, they were all very fun, and we could immediately tell that they each had a very special connection with the bride and groom. They were so fun, and we wanted to stay all night long and party along with them! Their families also blended perfectly, and everyone got along perfectly and it was all very easy to capture some great photos that we know they will all cherish.

The carnival theme was very unique; it was a bright and colorful theme that was executed perfectly. It was bright and cheery every where you looked, from the bright colored flowers, to the pinwheel groomsmen boutineers, to the centerpieces (candy and colorful hand dipped mason jars), to the ceremony arbor ( a popcorn balloon arch.) The dance floor was awesome too; it was situated between 3 large circus tents and strung with a million tiny twinkling lights above it. They brought in games like skeet-ball, as well as a caricature artist, drawing guests portraits. They had a popcorn and candy bar too. And the food? Probably some of the best BBQ we’ve ever had.

We loved being Mike & Brooke’s Port Huron Backyard Wedding Photographers, and hope you enjoy this small preview into their fun and love-filled wedding day. If you’re in the market for a wedding photographer in Port Huron, Michigan, we’d love to chat!

Sanilac County Wedding Photographers | Bridgette & David

Bridgette and David contacted us earlier this year to be their Sanilac County wedding photographer team, and we were so excited to go explore the amazing little beach town of Lexington that is just a short drive north of Port Huron. We love the little village of Lexington, because of all the secret hidden gems located around each curve. There are so many things that are naturally beautiful, between the lake, and the small nooks and crannies throughout the town. We got the chance to venture into the downtown Lexington area for their bridal portraits, and traveling around the city was easy, since they had a small bridal party. We were able to get in a ton of portraits of the two of them, that really captures their love for one another perfectly, as well as their intimacy.

Bridgette is a very quiet and relaxed girl, so their ceremony was perfect. All day, she honestly just beamed and radiated love. They both shed tears throughout the ceremony, and you could really just see how strong their love is for each other, and that’s what we wanted to portray in their photos.

The wedding ceremony took place at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Lexington, a charming little church that Bridgette grew up in. The reception was at the beautiful Lakeview Hills. The day was such a perfect Michigan summer day, we even quietly sneaked out during the reception for some portraits on the golf course, as well.

Bridgette and David, your wedding day was simply perfect, and we can’t thank you enough for choosing Mulberry & Sage Photography to be your Sanilac County wedding photographer team. We hope you love this small preview into your special, love-filled day.

Lexington Wedding Photographer | Hannah & Devin

Hannah and Devin contacted us earlier this year to be their Lexington Wedding Photographer for their upcoming June 2017 wedding happening at the Knights of Columbus in Lexington, Michigan. We loved getting to know Hannah and Devin and their families and family dynamics. They both come from very large families, and we really enjoyed watching their genuine interactions with each member of their families, from preschool-aged half brothers to infant nephews. We could immediately tell that family values are huge to Devin and Hannah, and that their special day was going to be filled with emotion, and jam-packed with love. (more…)
