St. Clair County Engagement Session | Liz & Brandon’s “Picnic”

Liz and Brandon are probably one of the coolest couple’s we’ve ever met. They contacted us to do their St. Clair County Engagement Session, and tossed around the idea with us that they kind of wanted to have it picnic themed. We searched down the perfect location for their session in St. Clair County, which is a beautiful overlook with a mountainous vibe, practically begging to be the most beautiful backdrop for engagement photos.

When Liz and Brandon popped out of their car with their adorable picnic basket, and vase of flowers, our heart literally skipped a beat. Everything was perfect, and we loved that she added in some minor props that really made her vision come to life. What we didn’t realize though, is that the most important and vital part of their picnic was their craft beer. It’s something meaningful and fun to them, and a hobby that they both enjoy together. So naturally, it turned an average engagement session into a customized and unique portrait session that showcases them, and who they are. And who doesn’t love a beer themed picnic on top of a ravine?

We love being St. Clair County wedding photographers, and really encourage all our future bride and grooms to book an engagement session with us prior to their wedding date. It really gives us the opportunity to get to know the couple, before the added stresses of the actual wedding date. We find that if we do an engagement session first, we walk in to the wedding as “friends” rather than strangers, and that makes everything on the wedding day way less awkward and weird for everyone.

We hope you love this small preview into Liz & Brandon’s super fun St. Clair County Engagement Session. Feel free to leave them some love in the comment section below.

If you’re searching for a laid back, and fun loving St. Clair County Engagement Session Photographer, we’d love to meet up, grab a drink (maybe a craft beer?) and chat about your wedding day, as well as customize your perfect engagement portrait session. Please feel free to drop us a line!

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.

Tina’s Country House Wedding Photographer | Ashlee & David

Back in July, we were able to spend the day celebrating Ashlee & David’s wedding day, and being Tina’s Country House Wedding Photographers in Macomb County. This was the first time we have ever photographed a wedding there, and it was awesome to explore the grounds and gardens, and see a new and different wedding venue in Macomb County. The food was great, and we may (or may not) still have dreams of the cannolis that Tina’s hand makes, that were to die for. (Seriously. So good.)

Ashlee and David have a very sweet love story. Ashlee needed her car fixed, and a friend told her to take it to David. They met, and since then, have been inseparable. Ashlee has two boys from a previous relationship, and David stepped right in and loves the boys as if they are his own. It’s a sweet relationship to witness. Then, together, Ashlee and David had baby Roman (who kept giving me very serious faces all night long. Adorable.)

Their wedding at Tina’s Country House was so much fun. It was full of dancing and all around a giant party scene, so the candid photos that we captured throughout the day were some of our absolute favorites. We had so much fun joking right along with the bridal party and guests, and capturing the celebration of the entire day. Most of the details you see photographed are all hand made and crafted by Ashlee. She was literally hot gluing the groomsmen’s boutineers in the hotel room as she was getting her hair done; talk about some serious dedication! She crafted all the centerpieces, as well as all the floral arrangements that the bridal party used, and we loved the tiny little details that, we could tell, were made out of love.

Ashlee & David, thank you for choosing Mulberry & Sage Photography to be your Tina’s Country House Wedding Photographers. We hope you enjoy this small preview into your amazing wedding day.

Port Huron Engagement Photographers | Dan & Dani

We’re back with another beautiful preview into Dani & Dan’s session, where they hired us as their Port Huron Engagement Photographers. We can’t get enough of this engagement session at beautiful Ruby Lodge (Ruby Tree Farm) in Ruby, Michigan. If you are planning a wedding and haven’t booked your venue, we always recommend to our brides to check out Ruby Lodge. We always love photographing engagements and weddings here. This blog, featuring Dan and Dani’s engagement session, highlights just a few of our favorite locations, though there are so many other intimate spots located throughout Ruby, too. This is just one of the reasons we are looking forward to your wedding, Dan and Dani, this September at Ruby Lodge in Port Huron Area, Michigan. We are so happy to be your Port Huron Wedding Photography team!
Now, back to Dan and Dani! To speak frankly, they are like peanut butter and jelly. They are so different, (he likes video games and eating eggs, she likes make-up and singing her heart out to 2000’s rock while driving) but put them together, and they become a power-duo made for each other. Seriously, their names even match.
Dan is a jokester (we love this for sessions) and Dani always laughs at everything that he says, making them the perfect pair, yet again. Looking though their engagement session portraits, we think that this really shines true! We had such a fun time exploring the grounds, and joking alongside them both. We love doing engagement sessions prior to the wedding day, because it really gives us the chance to get to know a couple better, before the added stresses of the wedding day hits.

We have enjoyed capturing and documenting this part of their love story, and are looking forward to the next BIG chapter: their September 2017 wedding day! Thank you for letting Mulberry & Sage Photography be your trusted Port Huron engagement photographers.

Mulberry and Sage Photography is a Port Huron Wedding Photography team. Though our Wedding Photography Studio is Located in Downtown Port Huron, Michigan, we serve all of the Metro-Detroit Michigan areas, and beyond.

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…)
