When I first met Holly, it was during her graduation photoshoot in Chicago. Fast forward a few years, and I had the incredible honor of photographing one of the most important days of her life—her wedding day in northern Michigan.

The wedding day was nothing short of spectacular. The ceremony was held outdoors at a breathtaking vineyard, with views overlooking Lake Michigan. The setting was perfect, blending natural beauty with the couple’s heartfelt vows. The reception unfolded gracefully beneath a stunning white tent, creating an atmosphere of elegance and charm.
As a photographer, being able to witness and capture such raw, genuine moments is the greatest privilege. Seeing Holly walk down the aisle, knowing how far she’s come since her graduation day, was a full-circle moment that I’ll never forget.
