Macomb County Wedding Photographer | Ashley & Eddie

We got to spend April 28th celebrating the wedding day of Ashley & Eddie Medina and being their Macomb County Wedding Photographer team. The forecast called for rain, but we were pleasantly surprised that it missed us completely. The sun even peaked out a time or two, which helped make the chilly spring day more gorgeous! Ashley and Eddie chose clean and classic (but beautiful!) wedding palette of navy, white, and silver. The girls choose any navy dress they wanted so everyone was comfortable and stylish. Eddie wore a navy suit and the guys wore gray with navy ties, for a perfect balance in contrast. White hydrangeas with many variations of white roses made for simple and stunning decor. All together, the whole day flowed perfectly from start to finish and we were so happy to be there to document it all.

One of the benefits of having two photographers is the ability for us to never miss a moment. For photos of the bride and groom getting ready, Megan hung out with Eddie at home, while Courtney met the bride and her girls at a hotel suite. From there, Courtney was able to stay with the bride before the ceremony while Megan captured the guests arriving. Courtney was able to capture Eddie’s face as he first laid eyes on his bride while Megan was able to focus on Ashley on her father’s arm walking down the aisle. I could continue, but perhaps you get the idea of why two is always better than one.

Ashley and Eddie were married at Trinity Lutheran Church with a reception at Villa Penna. They choose to forgo the typical bridal party photos and allocate that time to just bride and groom portraits at George George Park, and we LOVED it. We were able to focus solely on the new Mr. & Mrs. Medina in a relaxed and un-rushed time frame. After arriving at the reception, the night went on with great food, great music and tons of great times.

Please enjoy this sneak peek into Ashley & Eddie’s wedding day where we had the pleasure of being their Macomb County Wedding photographer. They just arrived back from their honeymoon and we send them the best and warmest blessings and wishes.

If you are looking for a wedding photography team that specializes in capturing your love story in St Clair County, Macomb County, or beyond, we would love to talk more.

Macomb County Wedding Photographer | Leah & Nick

As a wedding photographer, many times we are able to collaborate with other local photographers and work alongside them as a “second” photographer for the wedding they booked. A few of our Mulberry & Sage Photography brides may remember Serena from Little Anchor Photo, as she sometimes works with Megan on popular wedding dates where Courtney & Kathryn have other commitments. She had Megan come along with her for a couple weddings last season, to act as her right-hand-(wo)man and since they are such stunning weddings, we couldn’t help sharing some of our favorite images that we took while working as a Macomb County Wedding Photographer.

Today’s blog spotlight is the wedding of Leah and Nick. They were the sweetest couple who met ages ago, because they grew up (literally) across the street from one another. One of their earliest date memories is walking down the street to the 7-11 and getting Slurpees. In fact, over time, they became Slurpee-regulars, and so incorporating that into their portrait session time was important for both of them. Their wedding took place in a tiny little church in Macomb, and then their reception was in a stunning big red wedding barn out in the country, which, sadly, was forced to shut down due to city ordinances. (Which is SUCH a bummer, because it is seriously gorgeous.)

Their reception was full of tiny little details to make their guests feel welcome and loved. They had a popcorn and S’mores bar set up during cocktail hour, and we loved their wildflower seed guest gifts, and how it went along with the rustic-chic theme perfectly. The deep red hues and eucalyptus and sage greenery went perfectly with the big red barns, and it was a beautiful day outdoors, full of laughter and love for the young couple.

We hope you enjoy this small preview into Nick & Leah’s day where we worked with Serena to be their Macomb County Wedding Photographer. If you’re in the market for a wedding photographer team, we’d love to chat with you.

Ruby Tree Farm Wedding Photography Team | Dani & Dan

Dan and Danielle were married on Saturday, September 30, 2017 at the gorgeous Ruby Lodge Rental in Ruby, Michigan. You may remember them from their engagement session that we featured on the blog in the early summer. We were absolutely thrilled to spend the day being their Ruby Tree Farm Wedding Photography Team, and loved documenting their special day and moments.

One simply set foot into the venue, and all of Dani’s hard work and love was so evident, every where you looked. She thought of everything, and her theme was seriously stunning to see in person. We’re a tad bit obsessed with the deep reds, mixed with the rustic wooden touches and the ultra-glam and sparkly rose gold sequins. Dan’s daughter Kyla was a big part of the day, as well, acting as a wonderful flower girl (we loved her look of concentration walking down the aisle!) and then together, they shared a special father/daughter dance to My Girl by The Temptations that may (or may not?) have rendered us wiping a stray tear or two away from behind our cameras. (Hey, we have feelings too, ok?!)

One of the trio of photographers here at Mulberry & Sage was actually in the bridal party, so it was a great time to spend the day blending friendship, and working together to get some candid and awesome shots throughout the day. We love photographing at the Ruby Tree Farm because you don’t even have to leave the property during the portrait session; there are so many amazing locations and spots to photograph, and towards the end of their portrait time, the sun was beautifully peeking out behind the large pine trees, and it (along with Dani) was breathtakingly beautiful.

We hope you love this small glimpse into Dani and Dan’s wedding day where Mulberry & Sage Photography was their Ruby Tree Farm Wedding Photography Team. If you’re engaged and looking for a professional wedding photography team, we’d love to chat. hello@mulberryandsage.com

Macomb County Wedding Photography | Ashley & Jeff

We love being wedding photographers in the Metro-Detroit area, and were thrilled when Ashley and Jeff contacted us to do their Macomb County Wedding Photography.

We’re just going to start out by saying Ashley had one of the most gorgeous wedding dresses we’ve ever seen. Everyone (including us) was obsessed with it. We now know what it means to “swoon.” The beauty didn’t end there though. Jeff and Ashley had a gorgeous wedding day, across the board. The temperatures were in the low 70’s, with plenty of sunshine. Their wedding ceremony and reception was held at a private country club, Burning Tree Golf & Country Club of Macomb. The ceremony took place on their fabulous patio facing the golf greens and was a perfect backdrop. Jeff and Ashley chose to wait until the ceremony to see each other, and the anticipation was worth it. Jeff’s face was priceless when he saw his bride for the first time.

After the ceremony, the club lent us golf carts and we got to explore their grounds. There were so many picture- perfect locations for photos we could have kept shooting all evening. But it’s safe to say it was for the best that we got back to the reception. I’m not sure what it is about getting a bridal party on golf carts but the crazy definitely comes out in the most entertaining way. Just a friendly reminder-golf carts are not bumper cars! I’m glad we made it back in one piece.

One of my favorite moments was Jeff spinning Ashley around the dance floor. Watching the two of them together was so sweet. The rest of the night went by in a blur. The food was delicious, the drinks were plenty and we can testify that everyone had a great time. It’s so nice to see the dance floor packed with couples of all ages. Shout out to Ashley’s mom-I don’t think she ever left it! We are always so happy when our couples find their perfect match and we wish them a lifetime of happiness.

If you’re in the market for Macomb County Wedding Photography, or have a wedding booked at Burning Tree, we’d love to chat with you and discuss your upcoming wedding and how our team can fit seamlessly into it.

Marriage Celebration Photographers | Steve & Karen

This wasn’t our normal gig, but it was a true marriage celebration because Steve and Karen were already married in Estes Park, Colorado. They contacted Mulberry & Sage Photography to be their Marriage Celebration Photographers, and we knew Steve because he owns the building in which we lease our space for our Downtown Port Huron photography studio. (Have you stopped by the studio? Humble brag moment: it’s pretty much perfect, and amazing. Courtney has some legit decorating skills, and it’s adorable. We love having consultations in our studio, showcasing all our recent work, loud and proud, on the wall.)

Steve and Karen wanted to throw a rockin’ party for their closest family and friends to celebrate their recent nuptials. It was very intimate, but from the very beginning of the evening, you could feel the excitement and energy. Steve and Karen were radiating happiness, and it was contagious to all that was near. It was a picture-perfect day that started with cocktails on the patio. There were a lot of guests that traveled a long distance to be there, so the reunions were wonderful to witness. After catching up over drinks and passed hors d’oeuvres, the guests were brought into the beautiful dinning room at the Port Huron Golf Club, and treated to a fabulous meal. A few toasts were given by close friends, and then it was time for dancing. They had a live band Chateau, and they had everyone on the dance floor all night long. It was hard to keep focused on the job documenting the party, when our feet just wanted to dance along to the music. It was such an incredible event and we are so happy to be part of it. We hope they enjoy these memories, for years to come.

If you’re in the market for some Marriage Celebration Photographers, we’d love to discuss our options with you (in our Port Huron photography studio! Wink face.)
