From teary eyes at the ceremony to dogs and nephews stealing the show, Olivia and Garrett’s wedding day was the kind of day that felt full of love from beginning to end. And with her brother officiating the ceremony, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.

I’ve known Olivia’s family since grade school, so getting to photograph her wedding all these years later felt so so special. Olivia & Garett’s family and friends are some of the kindest, sweetest people. I genuinely felt like an extension of their family for the day.

With Lake Huron as the backdrop, sailboats in the distance, and a very hot full-sun summer day, it was pretty much the perfect setting. They entered the reception to the Love Island theme song “Came Here for Love“ which was epic and so Olivia. And then the energy on dance floor? Unmatched.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Wilks! 🤍

We took these photos for Wells’s first birthday on the beach where his mom spent a lot of time while she was pregnant with him. So much joy in these frames!

I’m also so in awe of how Rebecca & Neil show up as co-parents to sweet Wells. You can see it in every single photo. What a beautiful thing.

From teary eyes at the altar to heirlooms that carried generations of love, Kirsten and Nate’s day felt rooted in something bigger than them. Quiet prayers, meaningful embraces, and so much shared joy made the whole day feel intentional and sacred.

Kirsten is as warm as they come (it runs in the family! her mom was my coworker back in my corporate days and she’s sunshine in human form), and Nate meets her with this quiet, steady kindness.

Kirsten and Nate, you are the kind of couple people feel lucky to know. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. deJong!
