Nicole + Justin

A Perfect Day in the Vineyard

| September 14, 2024 | Hidden Vineyards, Berrien Springs, Michigan

On September 14th, 2024, Nicole and Justin tied the knot at the stunning Hidden Vineyards in Berrien Springs, Michigan. This venue was a dream—complete with a tranquil pond, a rustic barn, and scenic vineyards. Every moment of their wedding day was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories, and we were honored to capture it all.

The day began with so much joy and excitement. Nicole’s first look with her dad was a heartwarming mix of humor and energy, setting the tone for the rest of the day. Her sister even joined in near the end, adding another layer of love to the moment. Meanwhile, Justin and his groomsmen got ready in the vibey downstairs of the barn, where a foosball table and great music set the tone. Surrounded by a close-knit group of friends, it was clear they shared a lot of history and plenty of good laughs, creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere.

Nicole and Justin exchanged vows under a massive Catalpa tree, surrounded by their loved ones. The open field backdrop, the natural beauty of the open air and the surrounding grounds, created a stunning setting. Their heartfelt vows to each other were so touching, and capturing the pure excitement of that moment was unforgettable.

Earlier in the day, during portrait time, a farmer drove by with his tractor, kicking up soybean dust. What could have been a disruption turned into an incredible photo and video opportunity. The golden sunlight filtered through the haze, creating a dreamy ambience that was nothing short of cinematic.

Nicole and Justin also spent some time running through the vineyard during their golden hour portrait session. Their love and laughter were absolutely contagious and you could tell they had fun with every moment. The vineyard provided a breathtaking backdrop that highlighted the joy they shared on their special day.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the magic continued. Nicole and Justin shared an intimate dance under the moonlight, creating moments that felt like pure magic. Before returning to their guests they walked hand-in-hand along the pond. The couple’s reflection shimmering in the pond, made it a moment straight out of a fairytale.

The night was filled with high energy and unforgettable moments. Both wedding parties delivered heartfelt speeches, and the first dances were bursting with excitement and love. Nicole stunned everyone with an outfit change later in the night, making her grand entrance onto the dance floor. The night came to a close as , Justin, who doesn’t drink, took a celebratory shot with his friends and family. His reaction—actual tears—was priceless.

Nicole and Justin’s wedding day was a perfect celebration of love, laughter, and the beauty of life’s most meaningful moments. The energy they brought to every part of the day made them an absolute joy to work with, and we’re so grateful to have been a part of their story.

Cheers to Nicole and Justin—may your life together be as beautiful and magical as your wedding day!

Love,
