Mr. & Mrs. Richter – New Buffalo, MI Wedding – Michigan Wedding Photographer

A true family fall wedding is how I would describe Tricia & Kyle’s beautiful day! The colors were out in spectacular fashion and the sun provided much needed warmth for their outdoor ceremony. This wedding was all about family and we really felt apart of theirs as soon as we arrived.

Tricia & Kyle have been together for close to a decade and have 2 adorable children; Madison (10) and little Carter (4). Madison was a junior bridesmaid and Carter was the cutest ring bearer you ever saw. 🙂 Their kids are the most important thing to them and that’s why their photos centered around family.

They chose Whittacker Woods Golf Club in New Buffalo, MI for their fall outdoor wedding. The outdoor space was the perfect size… plenty of great photo spots without being so big that it would take forever to walk around. And of course, tons of trees and a small pond that reflected back all those gorgeous colors.

The ceremony was just 15 minutes but boy was it powerful. Everyone from the bridal party, to their parents, down to the last guest was rooting for Tricia & Kyle. They have been through so much together and now it was finally time for them to have their day. 🙂

I wish you love, happiness and laughter as you move on to the next chapter of your love story. Thank you Tricia & Kyle for allowing me to be a small part of it. <3 S

Rachel and Pete’s stunning black tie wedding was the stuff of dreams. The live band combined with the Palais Royale’s grand ballroom, made you feel like you were stepping back in time to the roaring 20’s.
