Aryn and Dean | 05.24.15 | Millcreek Barn Wedding in Watervliet, Michigan

Aryn and Dean were wed on a beautiful May day at one of my all time favorite wedding locations, Millcreek Barn in Watervliet Michigan. The details of their day were so beautifully planned, the decor was a lovely mix of classic elegance and country charm.  Millcreek is one of my all time favorite locations to photograph! It is overflowing with charm and perfect portrait spots. Every wedding I’ve ever shot there I’ve loved, and the guests of each have all been so impressed with how unique and fun the location is. The floral arrangements for the day were put together by the talented Marco Alexzondra, if your looking for a florist for sure check him out! His passion and attention to detail are hard to match. Aryn and Dean were a dream to work with, not only beautiful people but also genuinely great humans to spend a day with. I’m so thankful to have the honor of capturing their wedding day. Such a fun and loving couple, so many smiles (maybe a few tears too) from all their friends and family as this beautiful couple became a family.
