Bride and Groom on Lake Michigan at first lookbride and groom walking through a pine forest

When we think of weddings and starting a family many people think of the process beginning with dating, marrying, and then having a family.  This was not the flow for Jenn and Eric’s relationship.  They met, began dating, and then had two incredibly beautiful children (Austyn and Briggs), and then they were married.  As a result, their wedding day was not about the beginning of their lives together, rather a celebration of their lives together, which was simply spectacular.

As family and friends travelled from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and beyond, they enjoyed a weekend celebration.  Friday evening everyone relaxed on the shores of Lake Michigan at the Homestead Resort for a BBQ and drinks.  And their wedding day at the Homestead Resort in the Mountain Flowers Lodge was filled with special moments between mother and daughter, father and son, the four of them together, and a wonderful celebration with their family and friends.

Eric and Jenn and Austyn and Briggs, I wish you the best as you move forward enjoying your life and family together.  It was an honor to be able to capture moments from your celebration and to see the love and support you are surround by.  Much love and appreciation – Rayan.
