We met Emily a while back at her consult in the winter at Sperry’s Moviehouse Restaurant. We learned about her and Craig’s relationship, then too. They were looking for someone to be their Wales Michigan wedding photography team, and we loved hearing all the small details about who they are, and what makes them unique.Craig and Emily met at college, and he’s from the Oakland County area. They recently chose to make a move nearby Emily’s hometown (Columbus) to Wales. It was a massive change for Craig especially, but they wanted a place to expand, take a breather, and improve their land and property. Originally their wedding was slotted to be on their own (beautiful) property, however, it was changed to three houses down the road at The Brown Barn.

We got to know the owners of The Brown Barn, which is a brand new wedding venue in the Port Huron. The owners used their own property for their own wedding, and decided that it worked out so well, they were going to take the steps to make it into a regular thing. It was beautiful, and we’re thrilled to be one of the first photographers at this brand new location so close to our own stomping grounds.

Speaking of close, Emily and Craig live (literally) three doors down (not the band.) And their own property blew us both away when we went there for photos. They made a full on legit apple orchard with like 30+ trees, a gigantic garden with drip irrigation, and so much more, in just the short amount of time that they’ve lived there. Their house is charming, their dogs were friendly, and we had a wonderful time seeing their passion explode while on their property; not to mention that the light was freaking stunning that night. Mother Nature must appreciate Emily and Craig’s effort to improve the world, because she pulled through and gifted them the best weather (not too hot- not too cold) and a beautiful sunset.

We hope you love this preview into when we were their Wales Michigan wedding photography team. If you’re in the Blue Water area and looking for a wedding photographer, we’d love to chat.
