Paige & Nate’s Beautiful Blue Bridge Wedding in Traverse City
On Saturday, June 14th, I had the honor of photographing Paige and Nate’s stunning wedding at the Blue Bridge Event Centre in Traverse City, Michigan. From the moment the day began, it was filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments.
The morning started with Paige getting ready surrounded by her closest friends and family. One especially meaningful detail? Her cousin flew all the way from England—not only to attend the wedding but also to do Paige’s hair. Talk about a special touch!
After capturing the sweet moments with the girls, I made my way over to Nate and his groomsmen. Spirits were high and laughter filled the room as the guys suited up and prepared for the big day.
One of the standout features at Blue Bridge is, of course, the beautiful little bridge complete with a water fountain. It made for the perfect, romantic location for Paige and Nate’s first look. Their reactions were priceless, and it set the tone for the rest of the day. We took full advantage of the venue’s towering pine trees for portraits—truly a photographer’s dream.
The ceremony was nothing short of magical. A tall floral arch framed the couple perfectly, set against a serene wooded backdrop that added an enchanted forest feel to the moment they said “I do.”
Later in the evening, Paige and Nate shared a special first dance that clearly meant the world to both of them. The energy picked up from there as guests filled the dance floor and celebrated the newlyweds well into the night.
To Paige and Nate—thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your beautiful wedding day. It was a joy to capture your love and the moments that made your day so uniquely yours.

As the mother of the groom I am so pleased with your talent. The pictures are lovely. Could you airbrush my gut out though?!? lol
Will we be able to order prints from you or will Nathan have the option?
