Andrea and Mike’s wedding was incredibly heartfelt. I openly cried multiple times throughout the day over the kindness of this couple and the ways that their friends and families gushed over their goodness. It was a perfect October day, with a bit of rain that moved their vineyard wedding ceremony inside the tasting room at Brengman Brothers, but wouldn’t you know, Fox and Fern Events were there to make sure that Plan B looked absolutely incredible. These two said their vows in front of the hearth at Brengman Brothers, then danced the night away on the patio with their loved ones. Their immediate families had all secretly conspired to fly one of their favorite musicians, Paul McDonald, to northern Michigan to perform their first dance song live and the reaction was so heartwarming. Andrea and Mike were floored by the surprise, and truly it just felt like one more example of how loved and celebrated these two really are.

It was an honor to spend the day photographing Andrea and Mike’s Leelanau County wedding. From their beautiful getting ready location in a cottage on Lake Leelanau to their outdoor dance party under the stars; what a perfectly lovely celebration.
