Nichol & Adam - [Married!]

After photographing weddings (A LOT of weddings!) for a living, I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to come across something new. I found myself at Apple Blossom Chapel & Gardens in Fennville for the very small, very intimate wedding of Nichol & Adam.

What was incredibly unique was the butterfly release during the ceremony. This is what was said:

"According to an American Indian Legend -

If anyone desires a wish to come true they must first
capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it.

Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal
the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all.

In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom,
the Great Spirit always grants the wish.

So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom,
the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted."

It was AMAZING how the butterflies hung around. While we were shooting outside after the ceremony, I could still see them. They also loved Nichol's bouquet. Very cool!
Enjoy your sneak peek, and thank you for allowing me to be part of your special day!
