Jami and Noah have been together since they were 14 years old. And I’ve been around to hear about their relationship antics that entire time because Jami is my cousin 🙂 I was honored when they requested that I photograph their wedding.

My aunt has been dreaming of hosting a wedding at their family home in Traverse City, MI for years. And it truly is a wonderful home. Next to Lake Michigan, their vast land is surrounded by lush trees. In addition to it, obviously, being sentimental as Jami’s childhood home. The wedding party got ready in this home & the ceremony was hosted here as well. The ceremony arch was constructed by my aunt and uncle out of trees on the property.

Jami & Noah had originally intended to have the reception at the home as well. However, they have too many friends and family to fit everyone under a tent & didn’t want to risk the weather and open air. So guests transported to the Peninsula Room, a venue just a few minutes drive away for wonderful dinner, drinks & dancing.
