MillCreek Wilde Wedding Photographer

Nicole and Justin were married on a beautiful July day at the MillCreek Wilde, a historic orchard in Watervliet, Michigan. A few of my favorite moments from the day were the their getting photos in the morning at Hotel Nichols in South Haven (they rented the whole place out for their friends and family!) the joy and laughter emitting from Nicole’s sisters throughout the day, and their sunset portraits in the woodsy grounds of the MillCreek Wilde. It was an honor to document their wedding celebration.
