Camp Pendalouan Wedding- Noelle and LIZA

Camp Pendalouan
Montague, MI

Congratulations Noelle and Liza! What a fun and unique place to celebrate. Guests stayed at Camp Pendalouan, on the water in Montague, MI. The ceremony was majestic, set up by the lake, with the sun popping in through the woods. I loved that the four grandmas were the flower girls! The evening festivities included canoes and cocktails by the main lodge, and dancing and sparklers under the stars.

Noelle and Liza are such a wonderful match. They met online back in 2022, with Noelle winning mini golf. That first date included a surprise carnival with rides, games, and a first elephant ear. They say the rest is history.

They both proposed. How cute is that? The first proposal was at Hoffmaster State Park, hiking through the woods where Liza had set up little notes and poems for Noelle to find. Liza popped the question at the beach, based on their second date when they hiked to the beach for a picnic. At some point, Liza was swarmed by beatles but played it super cool.

The second proposal happened after a nice dinner and walk down the pier in Grand Haven, where Liza grew up. It was super cold and windy, but that didn’t stop Noelle from getting down on one knee.

Best wishes to you both on many adventures to come!

Grand Rapids Engagement - Amy and Steve

Grand Rapids
West Michigan

Congratulations to Amy and Steve! These two fun people are “just a couple of hippies”, who love to laugh. Their personalities are just as colorful as her tye-dyed shoes. They met online, through a mutual friend and she asked him out. Well, her kids actually pushed her to do it. They will be together for four years on their wedding day, which is August 14th. Plans are still in the works, but they will definitely include a 70’s vibe, color!, an antique phone booth, and an antique bike for fun ambiance. It will be somewhere in Cedar Springs. They are still working on that one.

Wherever it will be, I know it will be fun! I have no idea what he was saying to her, but look at that laugh!! So so fun. I can’t wait for the big day.

Here’s a little preview of the engagement session:

Mount Pleasant, MI - Katie and Jeremiah

St. Henry’s Center, Rosebush

Congratulations Katie and Jeremiah! What a cool, laid-back, fun-loving couple! These two met freshman year and hung out every day after. Their first date came from a lost bet at pool when he had to take her out on an actual date. They watched a football game, played some mini golf, got some McDonald's, and then took a night walk out at Perry Farms. They've been together for eleven years. The proposal happened on the beaches right off the bay of Seattle, while they were watching for whales and gazing at snow capped mountains. They decided they were meant to be out west and wanted to get married with their families before starting their new grand adventure together.

They both love everything there is to love about disc golf, and play whenever possible. When the theaters are open, they have a date night at least once a week, or cuddle with popcorn on the couch watching Netflix. They love to travel and enjoy the outdoors. It's their dream to just own a bus and travel the country together.

Next year, they will honeymoon traveling the country out west until they end in Seattle and make it their new home.

I am so honored that Mr. and Mrs. Clennan chose me to document their story! Please enjoy the preview of their big day:
