As the sun slowly set over the horizon, Maddie looked out to the water, and then back to the one she loved. It was as if she was reliving that beautiful moment all over again, the moment when John knelt down and asked her to be his wife. Even though the sandy shores of South […]

The word hung above them as all eyes were directed to the front of the chapel. “Abide.” It was a word that Eliza and Bradley had embraced early on as both the goal and focus of the entire day. Abide in the moments; to not rush through the day, but to sit and enjoy every […]

The colors had held out for one last evening. As Julia and Kevin strolled across the lawn towards the manor, the vibrant reds and yellows surrounding the grounds created a stunning yet natural frame for the Ford House. Even though cold weather had already arrived in Michigan, it seemed like the Ford House itself kept […]

The slow walk through the water was naturally beginning to speed up, almost in concert with Ally’s joyful laugher. Coarse sand washed off their feet as they began to pick up speed.
