Kelsey and Tim have been together for over seven years, so when we met with them over the winter when they inquired about Mulberry & Sage as their Fort Gratiot Lighthouse Wedding Photography team, we got to hear all the funny stories and jokes that they shared alongside their families about their upcoming June wedding. Since Megan was due to have her baby at the beginning of June, Courtney and Serena teamed up for this June wedding, and Michigan weather really showed up for it. It was literally the most perfect sunny day; it was in the mid-60’s and wasn’t too hot or too cold. The breeze coming off the lake was amazing, and we were thrilled to spend our day at the beach celebrating their love story and their new chapter.

Kelsey was really pulling for an elopement, but Tim was the one who wanted the formal wedding, and we thought that was so sweet. Kelsey really hated having the attention on her, so we really focused on the documentary side of things, and capturing that aspect of their day, rather than the formal posed photos. With our style, it worked out great, and instead, we focused her attention on loving on her new husband, and got some great photos for them to cherish for years to come. At home, they have two crazy bulldogs who are their babies. They would have loved to have them at the wedding, but had the coolest and most unique cake topper to signify their family of 4 instead. They love music, and Tim brought his own set-up and played the DJ and MC role for the night, as well as doting groom.

The two of them are very laid back, and love exploring nature and being outdoors. Their barefooted beach wedding was ideal for the two of them, and many of their guests followed along with the trend and ditched their own shoes, as well. We also had a great laid-back timeline for the day, because they chose to do an intimate first look with the two of them before their ceremony. That allowed them to relax and mingle with their guests, and really enjoy their night to the max.

We love shooting at their venue, and since we’re local Port Huron gals ourselves, incorporating the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse Wedding Photography into their day was so much fun. If you’re in the market for a Fort Gratiot Lighthouse Beach Wedding Photographer, we would love to chat with you!
