We feel like we use the term “backyard wedding” loosely when we describe Mike and Brooke’s amazing and intimate wedding in August. Brooke and Mike contacted Mulberry & Sage Photography to be their Port Huron Backyard Wedding Photographers for their carnival themed wedding happening in Mike’s Dad’s backyard on the Black River. The carnival theme really fit their personalities, because they are both super laid-back, and fun loving.

Mike and Brooke had a private vow ceremony before their ceremony, and read each other their amazing vows in private, and in front of a really cool (and photogenic!) shed that Mike helped his dad custom build. Brooke also had a first look reveal with her Dad, and it was so sweet and heartfelt, we literally were tearing up behind the camera.

Even though their bridal party was large, they were all very fun, and we could immediately tell that they each had a very special connection with the bride and groom. They were so fun, and we wanted to stay all night long and party along with them! Their families also blended perfectly, and everyone got along perfectly and it was all very easy to capture some great photos that we know they will all cherish.

The carnival theme was very unique; it was a bright and colorful theme that was executed perfectly. It was bright and cheery every where you looked, from the bright colored flowers, to the pinwheel groomsmen boutineers, to the centerpieces (candy and colorful hand dipped mason jars), to the ceremony arbor ( a popcorn balloon arch.) The dance floor was awesome too; it was situated between 3 large circus tents and strung with a million tiny twinkling lights above it. They brought in games like skeet-ball, as well as a caricature artist, drawing guests portraits. They had a popcorn and candy bar too. And the food? Probably some of the best BBQ we’ve ever had. 

We loved being Mike & Brooke’s Port Huron Backyard Wedding Photographers, and hope you enjoy this small preview into their fun and love-filled wedding day. If you’re in the market for a wedding photographer in Port Huron, Michigan, we’d love to chat!
