lauren + brian, boyne city, michigan

i cannot begin to tell you how much i love love love northern michigan.  

sweatshirts

campfires and smores

sunset pontoon rides

bare feet on warm concrete

sunburns and tangled hair

I was sold from the minute Lauren said her wedding would be an outdoor ceremony in front of a waterfall in petoskey michigan and party after at the sommerset pointe yacht club.  my mind immediately goes racing back to the family trips on mackinaw island and higgins lake.  ugh, its just the best.  if you have never been, seriously get your butt in the car and drive to mackinaw island right this second. best. place. on. earth. anyway, I digress :) 

lauren and brian. where do i begin.  the whole day lauren was just the cutest darn little thing, thanking me for everything and so grateful that i was there. these two have been together forever....or at least thats what their friends tease them about ;)  their wedding was 13 years in the making. 13 years!!! they met their sophomore year in college and have been together ever since.  they got engaged in bay harbor, michigan (the inn at bay harbor is another place you have to visit btw. gorg!) so they couldn't imagine their wedding anywhere else.  this day and these people could not have been any better!  

and how about that northern michigan sunset ;)
