Traverse City/Blue Bridge/Wedding N+E

Nathan and Emily had a really fun wedding at Blue Bridge events center in Traverse City.

It warm and beautiful June day. Everyone was going with the flow.

N+E chose Blue Bridge Events because they had lots of beautiful outdoor spots, water, a bridge, and a campfire while also having the nicest staff to help the day run smoothly. Also, Blue Bridge was helpful when having to reschedule due to the pandemic.

I asked how they felt at the start of…

“Getting ready was really chill. We have been together so long, so it was a relief of sorts to finally have the wedding come together post-vaccination/COVID.” ~Nathan

Emily is a fisheries scientist and Nathan is an environmental scientist.
The two met a few years back when Nathan was working in Ann Arbor in the winter and Emily came all bundled up into the bar. The two share a love of craft beer and our amazing earth.

Oakey, their sweet pup was the best guest :)

Nathan recorded music with my husband a while back and as a family friend, I was so happy when they asked me to be their photographer!

I take no offense at being flipped off for your photos ;)

 

The decor again reflected E+N’s love of nature.
