We got to spend the Saturday before Labor day with April & Brian celebrating their love story and being their Michigan Wedding Photographers. It was a day filled with emotion and excitement that carried through the night. The ceremony took place at St John’s Church of Christ in Port Huron. It is a gorgeous church and one of the oldest in the area. Both bride and groom were able to get ready at the church and we loved photographing in the old historic and iconic church in Port Huron. We were able to go back and forth between the rooms without missing a moment. The ceremony went perfectly and you could feel the love and anticipation as April walked down the aisle towards Brian. Not even a bridesmaids dress zipper snafu, or flower girl with stage fright, could steal the spotlight!

After the ceremony,we rushed downtown to capture photos of the bridal party and photos of the bride and groom. We say rushed because the sky was black with an imminent storm. Within 15 minutes we were able to get a full gallery of images before the sky unleashed and the rain poured down.  That is the versatility of a downtown location with variation of backdrops only a few steps in each direction. The reception location was just a few minutes away at the grooms childhood home on Lake Huron. Even after the storm raged through nothing could touch the simple beauty of the tented reception with beach decor details. The sand, shell and sea-glass were everywhere-surrounding the cake and on the tables. It was truly beautiful and played into the hues of the bridesmaids dresses that reflected the colors of water. They say after every storm a rainbow appears and in our case it was true. We even got to witness the beauty of a double rainbow. That signaled all the good times to come and the rest of the night was spent dancing and singing at the top of our lungs. It was a fantastic party that guests won’t forget!

We hope you enjoy this preview into when we were April and Brian’s Michigan Wedding Photographers. If you’re in the market, we would love to chat.
