Intimate Wedding/Northport

Kolbie and Thomas had a magical intimate wedding in Northport with family and friends gathered for the three-day holiday weekend in September.

(We had started planning their photography earlier in the year and had a chance to meet up for an adventure.)

They had thought of everything for their guests.

The venue had plenty of space for fun and access to lake Michigan while everyone came together to celebrate with them.

They could visit wineries and shops during the day and then have campfires with smores at night.

K+T wanted to do things in their own special way. I’m so glad they did!

The couple took a few moments before the ceremony to share personal vows and just be with each other.

Then their beautiful non-traditional ceremony included quartz crystals for all the guests to send their loving energy into during the ceremony.

The officiant smudged them and blessed them both. It was sacred and sweet.

Finally, they had a champagne toast to start the party :)

I loved creating intimate photos for you and wish you a lifetime of happiness, Congratulations, Kolbie and Tom!
