Kirsten & Mike married outdoors on a cool, rainy Saturday in the woods of Michigan. These two met at Au Sable Institute, where they interned during a summer and fell in love with the land & each other. Mike proposed to Kirsten on a bench there just last summer, and they finally married on their dream wedding date (8.8.2020!) despite a pandemic and surprise rainstorms.

Both families and the full wedding party came from as far away as Vermont and the west coast to celebrate the love Mike & Kirsten share. Her grandfather officiated the ceremony, most people cried at least once, and the sun came out just as the ceremony was about to start (after raining all morning & pushing the wedding back a full hour!). Regardless, it really was the perfect day. These two have started life together in the U.P. where they’re bound to face many more adventures. (Just hearing about winter there makes my teeth chatter!) It was an honor to travel to celebrate with these wonderful humans! Enjoy their wedding photos.
