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.

Pennsylvania Destination Wedding Photographer | Hope & Josh

We were so excited when Hope and Josh contacted us to be their Pennsylvania Destination Wedding Photographer . We know Josh because he is the brother of a local fellow photographer, and we were thrilled that she referred Mulberry & Sage Photography for the job to travel and photograph their wedding in Pittsburgh.

Josh and Hope’s day was gorgeous from start to finish. We started with a first look at a great little park down the road from the venue. Josh and Hope had their first look under a gazebo by a huge pond, and it was just as scenic as it was moving. We caught Josh wiping away a few tears seeing Hope in her gorgeous wedding gown. We walked around the park for bridal party photos and finished with photos of just Josh and Hope. Those are our favorites. Getting brides and grooms a few moments alone to relax and enjoy each other on their wedding day is part of our expertise.

The ceremony & reception took place at The Fez, and from the moment you stepped inside, you got swept away by the glitz and glam. Their colors were black and gold, and the theme was carried beautifully throughout the venue. The ceremony was short and sweet and then it was on to party. The DJ had everyone on the dance floor all night. It was such a fun atmosphere!

Josh & Hope were absolutely made for each other. They share the same humor and interests, and ,quite literally, make each other stronger. We feel like it’s worth mentioning a 3rd equation to their relationship, and that is bodybuilding. Currently, Josh is training Hope for her next competition, and they have plans to make it to the pro circuit very soon. You may have noticed the doughnut bar? Those were there specifically for Josh. He just loves food- especially Crispy Creme’s. That is why he said he will gladly be training versus competing in this round.

After all, they say find a partner who shares the same passion as you and do it together- and they have. #SoulMatesForLife

We hope you enjoy this small preview into when we were Josh & Hope’s Pennsylvania Destination Wedding Photographer. Please feel free to leave some loving comments below. If you’re in the market for a Pennsylvania Destination Wedding Photographer, we’d love to chat with you!

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!

Black River Country Club Wedding Photographer | Danielle & Mike

Back in July, we had the opportunity to hang out with Mike and Danielle, and be their Black River Country Club wedding photographer for the day. We have to start out by saying that the day was seriously the most perfect and quintessential summer time day for Eastern Michigan. It was in the low 70’s, and beautifully sunny, with a slight breeze coming off the river. We couldn’t have dreamed up a more beautiful day, weather wise, and also for the wedding.

Black River Country Club was the perfect venue fit for their wedding theme, which was Disney inspired. Danielle was so creative, and hid Mickey Mouse throughout her bouquet, cake, tables, ring boxes…seriously every where. Mike had his own theme as well; super villains. They were mildly obsessed with carrying on their own unique theme, and it gave for lots of funny photos and candid moments captured.

Their officiant was one of Mike’s best friend, who flew in from overseas (on a 16 hour flight) and he performed the ceremony on absolutely no sleep. The ceremony ended up being perfect, and knowing their officiant was a super special memory that they’ll have forever.

The Black River Country Club was very kind, and let us borrow some golf carts to use for the day, so we could really explore their beautiful property and utilize it fully for some stunning photos. We loved riding around, and had some hysterical moments with the golf carts, as well as some semi-reckless driving. In fact, at one point, all the villain groomsmen grabbed Mike, shoved him in a golf cart, and sped away. It was a pretty funny kidnapping. (Don’t worry, they brought him back in one piece.)

We hope you love this small preview into Mike & Danielle’s Black River Country Club wedding.

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.
