Diane & Garrett | Victorian Manor Wedding

August 13, 2016

I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding at the unique & AMAZING Laurium Manor Inn in Calumet, MI!
(The owners would like it to be known that the Manor is not available for weddings. This was a family wedding, so they made an exception!)
When Diane & Garrett told me the plans for their wedding I was ecstatic!
The actual wedding was even better than expected, except for the bit of rain we got. They embraced every moment of it! 

Diane & Garrett are loved by so many people.
They had guests from all over the country travel to celebrate the big day!
People traveled from 12+ different states, Canada, and even Germany!

A few of my favorite things about the day were:
- Diane's grandmother, who has Alzheimers, kept recognizing friends & family. Which made me and many others cry happy tears all day. It was SO cute! 
- Their dinner was AMAZING food from the Fitzgerald Restaurant (SO many heart eyes.)
-Everyone there were dancing feinds! 

So blessed to have been a part of Diane & Garrett's wedding. Thank you guys so much for welcoming me into your life for a day! <3
