Fall Inspiration Shoot

Way back in April, I had the idea to put together a Fall Inspiration shoot. Autumn is my very favorite time of the year and the perfect backdrop for a true Michigan wedding. I emailed Kellie Hetler of Hetler Photography and shared my vision and she quickly jumped on board. We put together an amazing vendor lineup and after 6 months of planning and lots of hard work everything came together seamlessly. 

The perfect setting for this shoot was my grandparents farm, Pine Spring Ranch. The barn was built by my late grandfather from reclaimed wood. The pond, with it's water wheel, dock and covered bridge has and will always have a dear place in my heart. I grew up playing here and have so many memories surrounding it. And now, even more, after incorporating it in the job that I love!

 I was BLOWN AWAY by this bouquet that Skeeter from Eastern Floral did for us. The amount of depth, color and texture incorporated in it was breathtaking. I can never thank him enough for the work he did on this shoot.

The barn looked so cool lit up after dark. I even noticed cars stopping on the road across the field!

I will be breaking down each part of the shoot so please stay tuned!
