We met Taylor in the early spring because she was searching for a Brown City wedding photographer to document her marriage to her best friend and fiancee, Zack. She actually had previously booked a different photographer, who ended up accidentally double-booking the date, and we happened to have her exact date open, and are also semi-local to the Brown City area. We love being Sanilac County wedding photographers, and since we both live in the country anyways, Brown City is only about a 45 minute commute through {approximately} a billion corn fields away from us.

Taylor and Zack met while they were both in the marching band for Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan. They fell in love, and they absolutely cannot wait to live an awesome life together. Courtney went and spent some time getting ready with the girls, while Megan got to meet with Zack and his gaggle of hysterical groomsmen, and learn all about their secret superhero identities. Zack and Taylor wanted to write their own vows to each other, but instead decided to secretly and privately meet up before the wedding and not see each other, but read each other letters that they had written. While the church basement wasn’t the most picturesque location for this to happen, the emotion was absolutely real, and insanely beautiful. There wasn’t a dry eye around for that (even Megan cried taking their photos!)

Their ceremony was at the Fellowship Bible Church in Brown City, which is the church that Taylor grew up going to. The pastor that married them was a pseudo Grandfather to Taylor, and the love that he shared for the couple was adorable to witness and capture. We then headed over to an old barn that Taylor scouted out to do portraits at. If there is one thing that Brown City isn’t lacking, it’s rustic scenery. We loved the property, and being able to document their sweet love for each other. We joked around with them that we couldn’t wait to see their tall children (they are our tallest couple, to date!) and loved getting to know their bridal party more, too.

Their reception was inside the VFW Hall in Brown City, and we partied the night away with them (and left with a to-go bag of their delicious donuts.) We hope you love this preview into when we were Taylor and Zack’s Brown City Wedding Photographer and Sanilac County wedding photography team. If you’re getting married, we would love to chat with you!
