summer michigan wedding

Sarah + Brent

Have you ever witnessed a love so pure, so radiant, that it filled the entire room with warmth and joy? That's exactly how I felt when I had the honor of capturing a gorgeous summer wedding at Zingerman's Cornman Farms. The picturesque setting of the farm, nestled in the heart of Michigan, provided the perfect backdrop for this special day.

As I arrived at the venue, I was greeted by the sweet scent of wildflowers and the sound of laughter and music floating through the air. The sun was shining brightly, casting a golden glow over the lush greenery that surrounded us. It felt like something out of a fairy tale, a dreamy oasis where love and happiness flourished.

The bride was a vision in her gown, her eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation. As she walked down the aisle towards her groom, a sense of magic filled the air. The way they looked at each other, with such love and adoration, was truly awe-inspiring. It was as if the entire world had faded away, leaving only the two of them wrapped in an embrace of pure bliss.

I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of their love, their connection so palpable and profound. I sought to capture every moment, every smile, every tear, so that they could cherish these memories for a lifetime. As a Michigan wedding photographer, it's moments like these that remind me why I do what I do – to freeze time, to preserve love, to capture the beauty of the human experience.

The reception was a celebration like no other, with friends and family coming together to toast to the newlyweds. The atmosphere was alive with joy and laughter, with music and dancing filling the air. It was a night to remember, a night of love and laughter that would echo in their hearts forever.

As I packed up my camera gear and bid farewell to the happy couple, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a beautiful day. Being a wedding photographer has its challenges, but moments like these make it all worth it. To witness love in its purest form, to capture it through my lens – that is a privilege beyond words.

So here's to love, to laughter, to happily ever afters. May we all find moments of magic and beauty in our lives, just like the gorgeous summer wedding at Zingerman's Cornman Farms. And may we always remember to cherish and celebrate the love that surrounds us, for it is truly the most precious gift of all.

Hannah at Lola Grace Photography made my dreams come true. I can’t think of a word that is big enough to describe how much I love our Cornman Farms wedding day photographs! When we received our digital gallery, it took us hours and hours to get through the photographs because I had to keep pausing to wipe away all my happy tears from the joy and love she captured in each frame. I am forever grateful to Hannah for providing us with these beautiful memories in our photos to last a lifetime. Hannah is so talented, a true artist in every sense of the word. In some of our photos, my husband and I are lit up and the background looks like an impressionist painting! She must also have a superpower to somehow manipulate light because the way the sun shined that day - the light captured in our photographs illuminates our joy even more. Every single meaningful moment (first looks, vows, fist kiss, grand entrance, etc.) was captured - she never missed a beat! And beyond this, Hannah is a fantastic person with a big heart. There were a few moments I felt little stressed on the day (as any bride might be!) and Hannah was the calming, peaceful presence to reassure me and bring me back down to earth. Hannah is the person you want to spend your wedding day with, trust me. I love that her photos are airy, clean, bright and true to our day. Neither my husband nor I have any clue how to pose in front of a camera, but her instructions and communication made us feel so confident! And lastly, the online photo gallery tool she utilizes is super neat. It was super easy for us to navigate, organize, download and distribute our thousands (!!) of photos from the day. Thank you Hannah!!
