Last weekend, we had the honor of doing Brittany and Dan’s Shelby Gardens Wedding Photography, and spending the day documenting their fun love story and learning more about who they are, and witnessing their love for each other.

The two of them met at the Mackenzie Tavern bar, so you will notice some photos there that were very important for the two of them to capture, since having photos done there on their wedding day kind of comes full circle for their unique story. Brittany is a librarian and incorporated that with the flowers from Eco Flower had love story page petals, and all the tables at their reception were named after great love story characters.

They had their wedding at the Genesis The Church in Royal Oak, Michigan, and we got to spend some time after their ceremony exploring the city, and finding some fun hidden gems that were tucked away and perfect locations to get creative and artistic during their portrait session time.

We asked Brittany what her favorite moment of the day and she said it was walking down the aisle towards him. When we asked Dan what his favorite moment was, he said it was walking back down the aisle with her after the ceremony. We loved how similar they were, and that they answered that not knowing they both picked moments similar moments before.

Their first dance was to Our Love by Judah and the Lion, and they are actually leaving today for their romantic Jamaican honeymoon.

Dan is the 4th and his family is affiliated with Wesner Tuxedo, and the maid of honor (Brittany’s sister) joked during her speech that they nicknamed him “Tuxedo Dan” ages ago. All the guests were super dapper and well dressed, as well. Shelby Gardens was a beautiful ballroom, and was massive on the inside. We loved the gorgeous little unique touches that Brittany and Dan used to make this beautiful space their own.

We asked Brittany to say why she loved working with Mulberry & Sage Photography, and this was her reply:

“They were fun, laid back and just a blast to work with.  Mulberry & Sage Photography was very accommodating, and had such great ideas for photos. They chose such random spots we would have never thought of, that turned out so beautiful.”
