They met the way the best stories do — unexpectedly.
One dance at a wedding. A New Year’s Day date that almost didn’t happen.
A ski trip where neither of them skied… just talked, laughed, and quietly realized this was something different.
Laken is calm, thoughtful, and steady — the planner, the anchor, the quiet strength.
Sawyer is protective, loyal, and all heart — the kind of man who runs toward the fire and shows love through action.
Very different. Perfectly balanced.
From long drives and packed weekend bags to a full-circle proposal at Boyne Mountain — complete with a ring hidden in a sock — their story is built on communication, laughter, and choosing each other in the little moments.
This wedding film isn’t just about a day.
It’s about teamwork. Trust. And the kind of love that feels like home.

Every great love story has an opening scene.
Theirs begins under a sky full of fireworks—two strangers in the same hometown, looking up at the same burst of color, not knowing that life had just quietly shifted.
Fast-forward to Traverse City.
A peninsula. A quiet moment.
The kind of place where big questions feel natural.
And with the water surrounding them, a new chapter began.
Now their story returns to the shoreline—East Coast elegance, light blues, hydrangeas, and the glow of a Charlevoix summer.
A celebration framed by sailboats, soft light, and the unmistakable feeling that this was always meant to be.
This is their trailer.
Their first reel of forever.
And it all began with fireworks.

They met in college, just a few steps apart — two doors, one future..
Olivia, the world-traveling dancer with a laugh that fills a room.
David, the spontaneous heart-first father who works endlessly for the people he loves.
Friendship came first. Love followed fast. And in a moment wrapped in family history — a baby shower, a generational gown, a mother’s blessing — an engagement became the start of their new chapter.
Now, under a soft, simple, green-and-airy wedding day, they celebrate becoming one family, one foundation, one story guided by faith.
This is Olivia & David — and this is the beginning of everything.

Amelia — the left-handed writer who does everything else right-handed, always has multiple drinks going because she likes options, and takes her dog for late-night walks when the world is quiet.
Howard — the multi-game multitasker who mixes bold colors without hesitation and eats every leftover straight from the fridge.
They met at a friend’s wedding.
Years later, he proposed beneath a giant childhood tree — both of them accidentally in costumes, thinking it was a Halloween thing.
Their wedding carried the same grounded energy as their relationship: nature, intention, sage green, and the simplicity of being fully themselves.
And the moment Amelia stepped out in her dress — the one surprise Howard didn’t see coming — everything locked into place.

When Sumer and Alex met online, neither of them expected it would lead here — to vows by the water, surrounded by friends, family, and the life they’ve built together.
Their story began during the pandemic with a message that almost went unanswered… but one late-night drive changed everything. Hours of talking in Alex’s truck turned into years of laughter, adventures, and a proposal in the freezing Petoskey wind — where Alex lifted Sumer’s hood, looked into her eyes, and asked her to marry him. ❄️💍

From a fateful meeting at a friend’s wedding to a proposal under a childhood tree — dressed as a wizard and an elf — Amelia and Howard’s story is pure magic. 🌿
Their wedding day reflected everything they value most: growth, connection, laughter, and a deep appreciation for the simple joys in life. Between spontaneous dances, shared smiles, and those quiet in-between moments, it was clear they’ve built something truly rare — a love rooted in friendship and grown with patience, humor, and heart.
Here’s to the next adventure — a honeymoon road trip across the U.S., fur babies in tow, chasing sunsets and memories. 🛣️❤️

"From a late-night drive to a lifetime together 💙"
She almost ignored his first message.
He almost gave up.
But one late-night truck ride turned into hours of talking — and from that night on, they were inseparable.
Fast-forward to a freezing November evening in Petoskey ❄️
Alex asked Sumer to watch the sunset by the marina — and with her hood pulled tight against the wind, she looked up to find him on one knee. 💍
