A stunning Birchview Barn wedding | Aleigha + Josh

A stunning Rustic chic Michigan Barn wedding!

Aleigha and Josh’s Birchview Barn wedding had it all. From stunning flowers (thanks to Flowers of the forest ), amazing desserts, yummy personalized jams and more. From start to finish I was continually amazed by the personal touches big and small Aleigha and Josh added to their day. This Michigan Barn wedding is a perfect example of a rustic chic wedding. Aleigha and Josh really outdid themselves with all the details big and small. The dusty blue and green color scheme was the perfect choice for this spring wedding.

I’m not gonna lie, I was little intimated shooting this wedding. Not because I doubted my ability but rather because it was the hottest day of the year. Yes, it was a high of 98 degrees and humidity had to be at least 80%! On top of that, we had thunderstorms in the forecast that kept shifting. I prayed hard that we’d get through the first look and wedding photos before these storms hit.

Thankfully, we had amazing weather for the greater portion of the day. The bride and groom’s photos were stunning! The bridal party photos were fun, playful and candid. Just as Aleigha had asked for. We were blessed to have amazing weather during the ceremony.

When it rains on your wedding day

Unfortunately. that luck didn’t stick around all night. About 5 min after they said I do and walked away as a married couple, the sky opened and poured rain! Because of this we had to act quick and cleared some space in the reception area for photos. I was really grateful for the amazing arrangements the florist had put together. It added a little something extra to the area where we did photos.

Despite the shift in the weather, the party continued well into the evening. Dj Joshua McFarland kept the dance floor packed. Meanwhile, I snuck the bride and groom out for some awesome sunset photos! Make sure to scroll to the bottom to see those, because you won’t want to miss these sunset wedding photos!
