On the 23rd day of September, Amanda and Lance said “I do” and promised their lives to each other, and we loved that they hired Mulberry & Sage Photography to document their very special day and be their Goodells Wedding Photographer. The day was one of the hottest days of the entire year, and just-so-happened to occur at the end of September, so it was a very interesting experience to photograph a fall wedding in 95 degree heat, but everyone was so relaxed, they just rolled along with it happily (and sweaty.)

Amanda and Lance wanted a country-themed wedding, and totally nailed it. Their fun details such as the camouflaged vests for the guys, and the cowboy boots that everyone in the party sported all day really brought the country heat (see that pun we did there?) and get it was still chic with the wildflower inspired bouquets, mixed with the big yellow sunflowers and wood decor every where. Amanda and Lance even exited the church to “Cowboy Take Me Away.” (Admittedly, one of Megan’s favorite songs, ever.)

Their ceremony took place at the little chapel on the Goodells Fair Grounds, and the reception occurred in Amanda’s parent’s back yard in Avoca. Their property is really pretty, with a pond and a tree planted as a memorial to Amanda’s grandparents who passed away. Their food was really yummy and was prepared and cooked by one of their groomsmen who owns a taco truck in the Detroit Metro Area. We love some good ole’ BBQ wedding comfort food, and it didn’t disappoint at all. Their two sons played a big role in their ceremony, and did a great job holding a handmade sign that read, “Daddy, Here Comes Mommy.” It was so sweet!

We hope you love this small preview into Amanda and Lance’s day, where we were their Goodells Wedding Photographer. If you’re getting married in Goodells, Michigan, we’d love the opportunity to chat with you about how we can document your special day as well.
