The Marks | Michigan Wedding Photographer | St Joe Farm

Weddings

Her work is editorial in eye and warm in feeling — soft, honest color, close attention to the details her couples have considered, and the moments that happen between them. She brings an artist's care to what's already in front of her, so her couples get to be present for the day instead of producing it. Most of them leave with a friend.

On this autumn wedding day, occasional rain showers may have made short appearances, but they didn’t deter the couple from celebrating their special day at St. Joe Farm in Granger, Indiana. The bride and groom aimed for a modern yet minimalistic ambiance with a dash of their shared love for baseball evident in the details. The event featured a guest book in the form of a signed jersey, table names inspired by popular stadiums, and delightful baseball-themed treats for the guests.

The bride wore a Justin Alexander fit and flare gown, which showcased a plunging neckline, intricate beaded lace, and glittering tulle. Her heels harmonized with the theme, adorned with lace accents on the straps. To add a personal touch, she wore a cherished family heirloom garter. The groom sported a navy tuxedo paired with a floral tie and a petite boutonniere. The bridesmaids were a vision in their diverse array of gowns, spanning various shades of green, materials, and patterns. The bouquets featured delicate touches of blush, white roses, ranunculuses, and an abundance of lush greenery.

The ceremony was brief and heartfelt, with the sun emerging from behind the clouds after a cloudy morning. Within the ceremony, the couple had their dear ones convey the rings, each accompanied by a heartfelt blessing. The couple concluded the ceremony with a dip-kiss and a leisurely walk over a quaint bridge framed by trees.

The reception kicked off with a grand entrance, as the newlyweds made their way into the event space, where all the attendees could see them at the very top of the staircase. The festivities included a swift cake-cutting ceremony with heirloom pieces, a touching dance with the bride and her mother, wiping off each others tears from their faces, and an evening filled with lively mingling and dancing to cap off the night.
