Michigan Destination Weddings
Every summer as a kid, we traveled 12 hours North, to Frankfort Michigan where we would spend the summer going to the beach, having family cookouts, doing canon trips and gazing at the stars. This was the beginning of something very special. As an adult, I continue to travel to Michigan every summer as a destination wedding videographer or photographer.
