Kayla and Stefan | 06.10.16 | Hidden Vineyard Wedding Barn

Kayla and Stefan were wed last month on one of the most beautiful days of the summer. It was warm, breezy, and blue skies abound. This was my first time at the new Hidden Vineyard Wedding Barn in Berrien Springs, Michigan and boy oh boy did I fall in love with this location. I already knew it was going to be an amazing day as Kayla and Stefan were a delight to photograph for their engagement session. Adding this amazing location was just icing! I shot my heart out this day and below are but a few of my favorites.

She was a favorite bride from a few years ago.

The groom had wanted top hats and canes for the gentlemen that idea however got veto’d by the bride. A few friends got together and made is fancy man dreams come true! It was a super fun moment of the night.

Poppies! They are my favorite and I was so excited to spot a field of them off in the distance from the barn. Thanks for trekking through the weeds to get to it with me guys!
