ellie + brantner's northern michigan destination wedding

Ellie and Brantner’s northern michigan destination wedding was epic! From day one of chatting with Ellie, I was so excited for their wedding and knew it was going to be one of my favorites from 2021. Ellie & Brantner live in California, and have family spread out all over the country but Northern Michigan became a special place to them over the years. Ellie’s grandma has a home on Lake Michigan that she would visit each year, and then together they began spending time there together each summer, and they even were engaged where their first look was. Ellie’s vision was so beautiful and it all came together gorgeous. It was such an honor to document their day! We started off by lake for getting ready photos, their first look, and portraits, then headed to their gorgeous vineyard venue, Ciccone Vineyards.
