Shelby & Marc // Detroit Wedding Photographer

Shelby and Marc were one of the couples caught up in 2020 rescheduling. They decided to get married last year in a small, family only ceremony and then have the big wedding this year and I'm so glad they did. It was such a great day!

Shelby is just the most encouraging, sweet, authentic person and Marc is her perfect for her and he just beams happiness out of his face, especially with her around. Being able to problem solve and then problem solve some more, that is what marriage is about. Watching these couples go through such disappointment of last year but just turn around and plan a whole new wedding that provided its own new challenges and roll with it is really something.

Ultimately, it's just about being together and celebrating happiness. It is not about stress and clinging to disappointment in changed plans. We had so much fun and are so glad to have been part of such a beautiful day.

Bethany + David // Detroit Backyard Wedding Photographer

Bethany and David are our people. Laid back, fun, full of love and appreciation for everything and everyone around them. We are so happy we actually got to do this wedding with Covid threatening to take it all away. 

We’ve all been hit hard in some way or another but Bethany and David had to deal with the stress of Davids parents and family being potentially banned from traveling here from India, then Bethany’s dad had to deal with some very major health issues that threatened his life. Thankfully he pulled through it and was able to fully enjoy his daughters wedding day.

While struggles like these are obviously very stressful and not what you want since planning a wedding is hard enough sometimes, but Bethany and David stayed positive and persevered. When you go through the mud like that, it makes you appreciate what you have and this wedding was so emotional and awesome. You could just feel the immense love they had for each other and their family and friends. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t tear up a couple times during this day!

Covid sucks, but it has forced us to make our world smaller and focus on those who are really important to us and appreciate what we’ve been blessed with. So I guess that’s my positive spin on it. 

That all being said, this wedding was such a fun time. There was so much joy and laughter all day. I love that they could let go of all the previous struggles and just enjoy the day they’ve been looking forward to for so long!

Buckle up, this is a hefty amount of images, but it was just too good to cut things out. We take our work personally and they are our memories as well, so we want to carry this whole story with us! 

Enjoy this amazing backyard wedding!
