A Destination Wedding: From Florida to Michigan

LAUREN + CLAY || From Florida to Michigan

Tied the knot initially on April 1st, 2023, in Jupiter Beach, FL, and later celebrated their destination wedding: from Florida to Michigan on July 15th, 2023, in Onekama, MI.

Our journey with Lauren and Clay began on the shores of Jupiter Beach, Florida, where they tied the knot in a beautiful beachfront ceremony surrounded by their nearest and dearest. The celebration was so amazing that they extended their love story to Onekama, Michigan, for a second wedding celebration. It was an honor to capture their incredible destination wedding: from Florida to Michigan, filled with even more cherished moments and loved ones.

For their Michigan celebration, Lauren and Clay chose a location close to Lauren’s heart: her aunt’s charming house along the serene shores of Lake Michigan. This childhood summer haven was where Lauren created countless memories with her siblings and cousins, making it the perfect place to celebrate this milestone. As wedding guests arrived, laughter and excitement filled the air, setting the stage for an unforgettable day.

The festivities transitioned to Portage Point Resort, a picturesque venue nestled along the shores of Portage Lake. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Lauren and Clay exchanged heartfelt vows that captured everyone’s attention and emotions.

As the evening unfolded, Lauren surprised her guests by emerging in a breathtaking second wedding dress. This gown was crafted from fabric passed down through generations, originating from her mother’s and grandmother’s wedding dresses. It was a touching tribute to family and heritage, adding a deeply sentimental note to an already extraordinary day.

From the sunny beaches of Florida to the peaceful shores of Michigan, Lauren and Clay’s destination wedding was a true celebration of love, family, and tradition. With laughter, happy tears, and heartfelt moments, their wedding journey is one we’ll treasure forever.
