Lauren and Paul's timeless and elegant wedding

From the first phone call I knew this wedding would be wonderful no matter what. Castle Farms was a haul for Lauren and Paul and all their guests. A destination wedding if you will. They live in Florida and all their favorite people traveled to Northern Michigan to watch them be married on the most perfect September day. Every detail was curated so beautifully. I witnessed so much joy and happiness it made my cheeks hurt from smiling so much by the end of the night. I loved their vows, signature cocktails, live painter, violinist and their MOH and Best Man speeches. We snuck out of the reception for 20 minutes to get some formal photos and I think it was my favorite part of the day. I'm so grateful they choose me to photograph them on their special day at a place I call a second home. The Knights Castle is by far at the top of my list for good reason.
