Shelby Gardens Wedding Photography | Brittany & Dan

Last weekend, we had the honor of doing Brittany and Dan’s Shelby Gardens Wedding Photography, and spending the day documenting their fun love story and learning more about who they are, and witnessing their love for each other.

The two of them met at the Mackenzie Tavern bar, so you will notice some photos there that were very important for the two of them to capture, since having photos done there on their wedding day kind of comes full circle for their unique story. Brittany is a librarian and incorporated that with the flowers from Eco Flower had love story page petals, and all the tables at their reception were named after great love story characters.

They had their wedding at the Genesis The Church in Royal Oak, Michigan, and we got to spend some time after their ceremony exploring the city, and finding some fun hidden gems that were tucked away and perfect locations to get creative and artistic during their portrait session time.

We asked Brittany what her favorite moment of the day and she said it was walking down the aisle towards him. When we asked Dan what his favorite moment was, he said it was walking back down the aisle with her after the ceremony. We loved how similar they were, and that they answered that not knowing they both picked moments similar moments before.

Their first dance was to Our Love by Judah and the Lion, and they are actually leaving today for their romantic Jamaican honeymoon.

Dan is the 4th and his family is affiliated with Wesner Tuxedo, and the maid of honor (Brittany’s sister) joked during her speech that they nicknamed him “Tuxedo Dan” ages ago. All the guests were super dapper and well dressed, as well. Shelby Gardens was a beautiful ballroom, and was massive on the inside. We loved the gorgeous little unique touches that Brittany and Dan used to make this beautiful space their own.

We asked Brittany to say why she loved working with Mulberry & Sage Photography, and this was her reply:

“They were fun, laid back and just a blast to work with. Mulberry & Sage Photography was very accommodating, and had such great ideas for photos. They chose such random spots we would have never thought of, that turned out so beautiful.”

If you’re planning a Shelby Gardens wedding and are looking for a professional wedding photographer, we would love to chat with you about how Mulberry & Sage Photography can fit into your vision of your perfect day.

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.

Professional Port Huron Wedding Photographer | Melissa & Jesse

Jesse and Melissa were married September 30th 2017 at The Bean Dock on the beautiful St. Clair River, and we were thrilled they asked us to document their special day by being their Professional Port Huron Wedding Photographer. The blue water, mixed with blue skies, made for a gorgeous early fall wedding day.

We arrived to their home early afternoon to document Melissa getting ready with her mom and bridesmaids. The small bridal party consisting of only family members made it so comfortable and welcoming that we felt right at home. Melissa’s mother helped her into her dress privately, while her girls waited outside. Once she was all laced into her corset-backed gown, we went outside and had the best ‘wow moment’ with the bridesmaids. Melissa was STUNNING. The reactions were priceless.

The ceremony was short and sweet performed by long time family friend from the Agostino side of the family. Stepping inside the venue, Melissa and Jesse’s hard work was everywhere you looked. There were so many handcrafted details, and that really made the decorations even more meaningful. We especially loved the additions to the children’s seating, where she placed a disposable camera and a list of ‘Eye Spy’ moments to capture. This helped the little ones get in on the action, and they had so much fun with it all night.

We decided to explore downtown Port Huron for the bridal party photos and it was a great choice for this adventurous group. We were taking photos outside the now-empty Harrington Inn when the caretakers invited us in. There is so much history inside, and we were so happy to preserve those memories for Melissa and Jesse before the Inn is closed for good. Of course, a stroll around Port Huron wouldn’t be complete without stopping into one of the bars downtown before we left. The bartenders at Lynch’s were so gracious, they let everyone behind the bar for tequila shots (whiskey for Courtney-peer pressure!)

Jesse’s hockey teammates formed an arch with their hockey sticks as the bridal party made their way into the reception; an entrance not to be soon forgotten. Our other favorite moments we captured were the emotions in the speeches to the bride and groom, Melissa and Jesse’s first dance under all the beautiful lights, and the gorgeous dessert bar with handmade flowers all around it. We suspect the grooms signature drink, The Michigan Mule made with Vernors & cherry vodka had something to do with all those great moves on the packed dance floor!

It was a fabulous night and we are so honored you choose us to document your day and be your Professional Port Huron Wedding Photographer. If you’re planning a wedding at The Bean Dock and are looking for a photographer, we’d love to connect and grab a coffee and chat!

Goodells Wedding Photographer | Amanda & Lance

On the 23rd day of September, Amanda and Lance said “I do” and promised their lives to each other, and we loved that they hired Mulberry & Sage Photography to document their very special day and be their Goodells Wedding Photographer. The day was one of the hottest days of the entire year, and just-so-happened to occur at the end of September, so it was a very interesting experience to photograph a fall wedding in 95 degree heat, but everyone was so relaxed, they just rolled along with it happily (and sweaty.)

Amanda and Lance wanted a country-themed wedding, and totally nailed it. Their fun details such as the camouflaged vests for the guys, and the cowboy boots that everyone in the party sported all day really brought the country heat (see that pun we did there?) and get it was still chic with the wildflower inspired bouquets, mixed with the big yellow sunflowers and wood decor every where. Amanda and Lance even exited the church to “Cowboy Take Me Away.” (Admittedly, one of Megan’s favorite songs, ever.)

Their ceremony took place at the little chapel on the Goodells Fair Grounds, and the reception occurred in Amanda’s parent’s back yard in Avoca. Their property is really pretty, with a pond and a tree planted as a memorial to Amanda’s grandparents who passed away. Their food was really yummy and was prepared and cooked by one of their groomsmen who owns a taco truck in the Detroit Metro Area. We love some good ole’ BBQ wedding comfort food, and it didn’t disappoint at all. Their two sons played a big role in their ceremony, and did a great job holding a handmade sign that read, “Daddy, Here Comes Mommy.” It was so sweet!

We hope you love this small preview into Amanda and Lance’s day, where we were their Goodells Wedding Photographer. If you’re getting married in Goodells, Michigan, we’d love the opportunity to chat with you about how we can document your special day as well.
