If we could recommend Sonshine Barn 5 million times over, we would! Everything about Sonshine Barn is designed to make your wedding day as stress-free as possible. We cannot thank the entire Sonshine Barn Team - especially Sarah, Jen, and Courtney - for going above and beyond to make our wedding day so perfect. Between Sarah helping us with decorations and venue questions, and Jen and Courtney helping coordinate the logistics day-of, our wedding day went off without a hitch. There wasn’t a single detail my husband (!!!) and I were worried or stressed about come wedding day. I also cannot emphasize how incredible it is to have your contract run the entire length of your wedding weekend, with the Farmhouse onsite. This level of convenience is unmatched. On top of all of this, Sonshine Barn itself is beautiful. From the interior of the barn, to the grounds, the ceremony backdrop, and everything in between. 100000/10 we highly recommend Sonshine Barn!

Hey there! We’re Shannon and Devin, the husband-and-wife team behind Couple o’ Mittens! We specialize in adventure elopements and intimate weddings across Michigan for couples who want a day that feels meaningful, relaxed, and surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Outside of photography, we spend a lot of time exploring deep into the backcountry in our home state and beyond (AK, WA, WY, CA, TN, etc) —hiking trails, scouting scenic overlooks, and discovering quiet places along the Great Lakes. That experience allows us to help couples find incredible locations and create a wedding day that feels natural, personal, and unforgettable.

Amazing photographs! Shannon and Devin were professional, friendly, and they made the whole experience comfortable and fun. The photos turned out beautiful. Quick turnaround and excellent communication. Highly recommend and I will be booking again!

I initially dipped my toes into the world of photography in the early 2000s, focusing on sports events and capturing cherished moments from my kids' school activities. Life and the priorities of raising a family briefly pressed pause on my journey. Rekindling my passion in recent years, I have discovered a profound love for capturing the unexpected. Through my lens, I honor the memory of my youngest son, who, despite his inner struggles, taught me strength and love.

Drea seriously made our day so special. She was so kind, easy going, and helpful! She went above and beyond on our elopement day. We are so thankful and feel like we gained a life long friend!

Capturing and documenting the fleeting nature & intricate details of your life and love—woven together with intention + grace into a nostalgic photo collection. I strive to tell your story and preserve your legacy with wholesome imagery you will lovingly cherish and share with future generations.

My husband and I decided to have a very intimate wedding on Mackinac Island with just immediate family. We had about 6 weeks in total of planning and my ability to find a photographer on the island was not fruitful. I actually found Kristin on a Facebook page for elopements and emailed for time to call. We had a FaceTime call within a couple days and at that time I had 2 locations we were looking into. Kristin was very understanding given that a location had not fully been secured but once we decided on the day and place (Wings of Mackinac Butterfly House) she was able to help us bring our wedding day and photo ideas into life m. She took both digital and film photos that were stunning and were just the icing on the proverbial cake (we actually got ice cream cones as our wedding dessert)! Kristin has always held fantastic communication leading up to our special day and has always gone the extra mile to assist in anything we needed. Since our wedding, she has also taken beautiful newborn and family photos for us and we cannot be happier with the outcomes! We treasure her work and friendship and we look forward to more captured memories with Kristin!

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Flower Moxie for our DIY wedding flowers and couldn't be happier with our choice. The team was quick to get back to us and super flexible when we wanted to adjust our order. When the flowers arrived on our wedding day, they looked stunning and fresh. The quality was exactly what we hoped for, and everything came together beautifully for our ceremony and reception. For the price, we felt like we got great value and would definitely recommend them to other couples looking to do their own florals. Thanks Flower Moxie for making our day special!

Awarded Best of Zola
Exceptional Wedding Photography Experience I recently had the pleasure of working with a Ben and his team (shout out Mike!!), Promani Weddings, whose talent and professionalism made our wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we met, it was clear that he wasn't just there to take pictures—he was invested in ensuring our special day was captured in the most beautiful and authentic way possible. -Personable and Friendly Approach One of the standout qualities of our photographer was his warm and personable demeanor. He immediately put us at ease, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. This was especially appreciated during those hectic pre-ceremony moments when nerves were running high. His ability to connect with us and our guests on a personal level created an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie, which translated into natural and genuine photographs. -Unique Candid Photography Technique What truly set our photographer apart was his innovative use of candid photography. Instead of staging every shot, he discreetly captured spontaneous moments that perfectly encapsulated the emotions and relationships of everyone present. This approach resulted in photos that felt alive and authentic, reflecting the true essence of the love and joy we experienced that day. Looking through our wedding album, we were amazed at how he managed to capture moments we didn't even realize were happening, yet are now some of our most cherished memories. If you’re on the fence about doing candid photography for your wedding, this is your sign to DO IT! -Superb Communication and Understanding Throughout the planning process, our photographer was incredibly communicative and attentive. He took the time to understand our vision for the day and worked closely with us to ensure every detail was accounted for. His professionalism and dedication were evident in his proactive approach to logistics and his responsiveness to our questions and concerns. He was not just a hired vendor but a true partner in ensuring our wedding photography exceeded our expectations. -Execution of Vision On the day of the wedding, Ben seamlessly executed the vision we had discussed. His keen eye for detail and mastery of light and composition resulted in stunning images that captured the beauty of the venue, the emotions of our guests, and the intimacy of our ceremony. He balanced capturing the big moments with the subtle nuances that made our day unique, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration was documented with care and artistry. I cannot recommend Ben, Mike and Promani Weddings highly enough. His talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft shone through in every interaction and in every photograph. He not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a collection of images that we will treasure for a lifetime. It’s been two weeks since our wedding and we already have our edited photos, highlight reel and full ceremony video. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture moments but also enhance your wedding day experience, look no further. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made, and we are forever grateful for the memories he preserved so beautifully.

Nationwide Wedding DJs made finding a DJ for our wedding so much easier than we expected. Michael was quick to respond and got us connected with DJ Danny Crush, who turned out to be perfect for our event. Once we were linked with Danny, we didn't need a middleman anymore and could communicate directly, which streamlined everything. The setup was smooth and Danny kept the energy high all night long. Using an agency like Nationwide to find a local DJ in our area saved us hours of searching on our own.

Still Time Media LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding videography. From our very first interaction, Josh was quick to respond, friendly, enthusiastic, and incredibly kind. The exceptional quality of Josh’s work captured the beautiful and touching moments of our day that we will cherish forever. Josh really cares to get to know his clients and took the time beforehand to understand our story and vision, allowing him to create stunning videos that perfectly convey the spirit of our special day. Josh was flexible, timely, and extremely thoughtful which ensured that he was always ready to capture every meaningful moment. We couldn't be happier with this beautiful capsule in time that Still Time Media provided for us, we can’t wait to share these videos with our loved ones now and hopefully with our future kids and grandkids some day :)!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Portraits By Sean was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. They had great communication from start to finish, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free. They were extremely helpful in getting all the photos we wanted and more - Sean was very thorough, very prompt and very patient in capturing every moment. He arrived early and was extremely patient in making sure we got everything done that we wanted. We couldn't be happier with the quality of their work and the value they provided on our special day.
