When Telesha + Jon asked me to photograph their vow renewal, I was elated! It was for their 20th wedding anniversary and they were having a private vow exchange on the beach up north on Lake Michigan. The “ceremony” was nothing short of love filled, God centered, prayerful and not a dry eye left the beach.

We started the day with all the girls (not pictured) going to downtown Petosky to do touristy things. Then went back to the house to get ready. We did a first look at the tunnel of trees and dodged SOO many cars in the process, but it was 100% worth it and I would 100% do it again.

Then, we headed to a dune area to do formal portraits that included family, friends that doubled as their “bridal party”.

Finally, off to the beach for their private vow renewal. They had personal vows and just read them to each and ended their ceremony with a watch exchange + prayer. And of course, we couldn’t not do sunset photos on the beach.
