We are so excited to introduce you all to Josephine & Jason. They were married at Eyry of the Eagle on October 5th and they had the perfect fall day, and we loved doing their Grass Lake wedding photography for the day. They told us the venue appealed to them because of the natural setting. We fell in love right away, too. Old barns & tall pines lead to the reception hall, and a long gravel path with 4-board fencing lined the way to the ceremony spot next to a huge gorgeous pond. A beautifully restored Farmall M with a trailer brought guests to the ceremony. Llamas in the pasture only added to the scenery. What more could we ask for!? We loved spending the day as their Eyry of the Eagle wedding photographer!

We started the day by having an intimate first look right in middle of a the tall pine forest. We love first looks because they really seem to relax the timeline quite a bit, because it allows for all the portraits and bridal party photos to be done ahead of time; that way we can just focus on the formal family photos immediately after the ceremony, and you could even enjoy your own time together while your guests relax during the cocktail hour before the reception officially begins. We didn’t have to go far for gorgeous photos even though the property was quite expansive on over 100 acres owned by landscape artist Dale Fisher. He even made an appearance during the ceremony and took a couple photos and had them printed and signed but the time we started the reception. He even grabbed one of us working and gave it as a gift which we thought was super sweet.

Josephine and her dad arrived to start the ceremony in Jason’s beloved Chevy truck. Her dad opening the door as she stepped out was such a sweet moment. The ceremony was the perfect amount of time, just enough for the emotion to build. Did you catch Jason’s face as he watched his bride walk towards him? It’s what every bride dreams of. Their aunt was the officiant and we loved that personal touch.

The rest of the night was spent dancing the night away surrounded by friends and family. We had a wonderful time being Josephine and Jason’s Grass Lake wedding photographer, and hope you enjoy this small preview into their special nature-themed day. If you’re in the Metro Detroit or Port Huron area and are looking for a wedding photographer, we would love to connect with you! Our 2021 is already starting to book up (crazy, right?!)
