December 7, 2022

Katie and Mark’s fall wedding in MI at Castle Farms in Charlevoix was straight out of a fairytale! They debated on eloping in Italy, but decided that they wanted their closest friends and family to be present! So they found a slice of their Italy dream in beautiful Northern Michigan at Castle Farms. Who would have thought that there’s an incredible Castle in Michigan that has all the magical Italy vibes? This venue was an absolute dream to photograph. The architecture and scenery is so beautiful and it made for the most gorgeous photos. I seriously had so much fun capturing this love story through my lens!

This Italy-inspired wedding in MI was so incredibly dreamy! I loved having the honor of being able to photograph it! Katie and Mark are such amazing people, and I wish them the best on their new adventures as a married couple. I love how they chose a venue that replicated what they truly wanted on their wedding day, even if they didn’t actually go to Italy! The dreamy castle look brought such magic to the whole atmosphere and made for some stunning photographs.
