A Rainy Prelude to Romance

Michigan weather is famously unpredictable, and Jacob and Grace's wedding day was no exception. Sporadic raindrops danced on the mountainous landscape, setting the stage for a unique and romantic celebration. As seasoned wedding photographers, we understand that nature's whims only add to the charm of an unforgettable love story.


The Chairlift Ascent


One of the unique features of Crystal Mountain weddings is the scenic chairlift ascent. Despite the earlier rain, the skies cleared just in time for guests to embark on a breathtaking journey to the mountain's summit. The misty surroundings added a touch of mystery, creating a magical atmosphere that set the tone for the ceremony.


Clearing Skies, Clearer Vows



As Jacob and Grace stood at the mountain's pinnacle, the weather miraculously cooperated. The clouds parted, unveiling a stunning backdrop of rolling hills and lush fall colors. The rain took a brief hiatus, allowing us to capture the raw emotion of their vows against a canvas painted by nature itself. It was a moment of pure serenity and natural beauty.


Portraits in the Mist


With the rain holding off just long enough, we seized the opportunity to capture portraits that echoed the couple's love amidst the misty mountain ambiance. The wet landscape added a unique dimension to the images, creating an ethereal quality that mirrored Grace and Jacob's resilient love story.
