Oh, where do I begin? Marjori and Spencer’s wedding is one I will never forget. From the moment I met them, I knew they were madly in love and the perfect match, and their summer garden wedding on Spencer’s grandparents’ family farm in Metamora, Michigan was every bit as beautiful as they are.
If you’re dreaming of a Metamora Michigan wedding or a garden wedding at home on family land, this day is proof of how magical it can be. Everything was so thoughtfully planned that you would think the farm hosted weddings every weekend. You can also see their engagement session here.
Blue and white wedding morning details
Marjori’s blue and white details set the tone for the whole day: toile, pearls, a photo locket, blue heels and the sweetest bridal suite. Spencer’s blue floral bow tie and vintage pocket watch were the perfect match.
A first look and private vows
Marjori’s bridesmaids got to see her first, and their reactions were everything. Then Marjori and Spencer shared a first look in the garden. The most memorable part of the day for me was when they read their own personal vows to each other right there, just the two of them. Despite the summer heat wave, it was such a sweet, quiet moment.
A garden ceremony on the family farm
Their ceremony took place in the garden, with white chairs, blue hydrangeas and white roses from West Floral Co, and live music from Florella Strings. It was surrounded by the people who love them most, and you could feel it.
Portraits around the farm
As stunning as the portraits from this day are, nothing compares to the beauty in Marjori and Spencer’s hearts. The little white cottage, the garden pedestals and the pond made the most gorgeous backdrops.
The wedding party
A tented reception by the pond
The reception was under a tent by the pond with chandeliers, blue and white toile, blue glass goblets and a blue and white cake from The Home Bakery. Guests played croquet and lawn games in between dancing to Lifesize Productions, and the tent glowing by the pond at night was the perfect ending.
It was a true honor to capture Marjori and Spencer’s wedding. I’m still in awe of this day.
