 november 2024 Was A Time Of Collaboration. With Wedding Season officially Over For Me, I Was Still Itching To Be Behind The Camera Before The Weather Got Too Cold For Work. My Friends Over At Rise Wander Retreat Hosted An Evening For Us Creatives To Get Together And Celebrate The End Of Our Wedding Seasons. I Jumped At The Opportunity To Attend Because Meadowbrook Hosts The Most Beautiful Wedding Days And I Have Always Wanted To Shoot There!

the Experience Of Meadowbrook Really Starts On The Drive Into The Property. The Estate Itself Is Tucked Into A Quiet Public Park And Driving Through Those Front Gates Of The Manor Was An Exciting Experience. It's Such An Opulent Estate With Many Options For Your Ceremony And Reception Space. The Exterior Of The Manor Has Beautiful Stonework And Tudor-inspired Architecture. It's So Different Than Any Of The Other Manor Venues In Michigan. With The Cold Weather Moving Into Michigan I Was Worried It Might Be A Bit Drab, But The Estate Was Already Starting To Prep For Christmas. The Day Was Also Perfectly Grey And Overcast Creating A Moody Vibe I Don't Normally Work With.
