“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!”

“I couldn’t recommend Amanda and The Blue Ribbon Barn MORE for your wedding/event needs!! We held my bridal shower at the barn in April 2025 and our wedding in June 2025. Both were seamless and remarkable experiences thanks to Amanda. She was super accommodating and was quick to respond with any questions or needs I may have had. She even stuck around during our wedding for a few hours to make sure everything was going smoothly. She also checked in on my husband and myself during our photoshoot time to see if we needed drinks or anything. We quickly needed a table or something cute to sign our marriage license on outside, and Amanda hurried in to grab a cocktail table for us. These things may not seem like a lot to some people, but it was the little things like this that made our wedding weekend extra special. She is one of the rare ones with the sweetest and kindest souls and we are thankful to consider her a friend after our wonderful experience. As for the barn, it has pretty much anything you could need! We took advantage of some of the decorations from past weddings that we donated and even left behind some of our own (we thought that was a wonderful addition). There were plenty of tables and chairs for the guests and clean up was made easy by the owners. If you need a simple yet elegant place to get married, this is the spot! I wish I could hit rewind and do it all over again!”

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.

“Couple o' Mittens Photography was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. There was never any pressure, more like a guiding hand. They made us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process and were happy to provide a variety of locations and styling recommendations for our shoot. There was no awkward posing, just natural, candid photos that truly reflected our personalities. They captured several special moments, including some beautiful shots during the twilight hours. We were thrilled with the quick turnaround time and variety of photos they provided, giving us wonderful memories to cherish.”

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.

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!”

“Something Borrowed Blooms provided the most lifelike and luxurious floral arrangements for our wedding day. The bouquets, ceremony pieces and boutonnieres were all incredibly realistic and high quality, with vibrant colors and lush textures that exceeded our expectations. In fact, as my husband and I were taking photos in a park, a bee even tried to pollinate my bouquet, drawn to its beauty and realism. Getting the boxes to the venue did require a bit of coordination, but with a little help from friends we were able to easily box them up the day after the wedding and ship them off via FedEx. We saved easily 2,000 thanks to Something Borrowed and you would never know the flowers were fake.”

“Chime entertainment is an all around amazing vendor for DJ/MCEE, Photo booth, and videography services. Our day was amazing thanks to them! The Photo Booth added such a fun touch to the evening and was definitely a huge hit with all the funny props! It also left us with a full digital album of all of our guests having the time of their lives and was immediately available for us to look at (which came in handy while we waited for our wedding photos to come back). Everyone wont stop talking about how fun/perfect our wedding was and these guys were definitely the reason. Adam D, our main contact, was always quick to respond and always available when it came to answering our questions. Our DJ, George, was incredible, not only keeping the energy high all night but also stepping in to help coordinate the evening. He read the room perfectly, checked in with us throughout, and adapted seamlessly to any changes. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and MC. Our videographer, Leeland, went above and beyond to capture our day beautifully. He brought such fun energy while also knowing when to step back and let private moments unfold naturally. His balance of presence and discretion made us feel so comfortable, and we’re so grateful he was part of our day. If you are looking for amazing DJ and videography services at an affordable price, go with these guys!”

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

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.

“I ordered the "peaches and cream" small package. We decided to skip on ceremony florals, and only have handhelds and bud vases at the reception. We did buy a few more flowers from the grocery to add more peach once the flowers arrived. We made and medium sized bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 corsages, and 7 bouts. (With lots of flowers left over). My bridesmaids and I did the arranging the morning before the wedding; it was fun, and a great start to the weekend. None of us had experience, but it all turned out great! If you or your bridal party are mildly crafty, I'd highly recommend it!”

I photograph weddings throughout Michigan and beyond, creating images that feel natural, connected, and true to the people in them.

From Detroit estates and historic venues to waterfront celebrations in Northern Michigan, I document weddings with an editorial & heartfelt approach.

“From the very first moment we stepped in front of Cheleana's camera, we felt like we were friends—her warm and welcoming spirit made us instantly comfortable. Over the years, we have shared nearly every significant life event with her, and we can't imagine our lives without our annual sessions! Cheleana always goes WAY above and beyond to capture the perfect shot, guiding us effortlessly throughout the process. It's like magic; you don't even realize it's happening! With her easy chit-chat and infectious laughter, every session feels like a joyous reunion. What stands out the most about our experience with Cheleana is her genuine heart and love for photography and people. Every time we work with her, it feels like we are her only and favorite clients. Nothing about our sessions feels fake or repetitive; it’s truly special. The artistry in her photos is astounding—it's hard to believe a magazine hasn’t snatched her up yet! Each image is infused with emotion, making them feel like art. The editing is tastefully done, allowing us to feel elevated and confident while remaining 1000% ourselves. Her candid shots are my absolute favorite; many of the photos she’s taken of my husband and me, as our family has grown, have brought me to tears. She has given me the priceless gift of slowing down time and cherishing this beautiful life! She is worth Every. Single. Penny!!! Working with Cheleana is an absolute delight. Her fun-loving and laid-back personality makes everything incredibly smooth and comfortable, even when working with little ones and occasionally reluctant husbands! She always has a great joke ready and a treat in her pocket—I'll let you figure out which one is for whom! :p Plus, she goes the extra mile by asking ahead of time if it's okay to give something to the little ones, which shows her thoughtfulness and professionalism. Honestly, we have witnessed her handle every situation over the years with extreme grace and professionalism—whether it was battling the heat on our wedding day while super pregnant or navigating crazy weather, or finding the perfect spot for our photos. There’s absolutely no room for improvement in our eyes; we just hope she never leaves us! Cheleana has truly become a part of our family, and we look forward to many more years of capturing memories together. Thank you, Cheleana, for everything you do! If you’re thinking of booking…. DO IT!! Trust me!!!! She will make you feel like you had the wedding of the century and you’ll want to stare at the pictures on your walls for decades!!!”

“The Bluewater Kings Band was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Kevin and the entire band were organized, professional, and incredibly responsive as we planned the music for our big day. They took the time to understand our preferences and created a personalized setlist that kept our dance floor packed all night long, even learning multiple songs so our first dances could be live! Phil, the lead singer, was particularly amazing!He was so talented and attentive, even offering us drinks during his band breaks! The whole band truly helped make our wedding day so special and fun, and we couldn't recommend them more highly. Everyone loved them!!”
