When Jolie and Stu contacted me about photographing their intimate wedding surrounded by their closest friends and family...at a $10 million dollar mansion surrounded by lush garden and with private tunnel access to Lake Michigan, I was obviously intrigued. I mean, really? Sounds like a photographer's dream. 

And, they weren't exaggerating. Lush foliage surrounded the windy streets leading up to the secluded estate and hydrangeas and weeping willows grew freely. The bride looked stunning in a Victoria Sdoukos couture gown and pearl drop earrings. Her gorgeous bouquet included pink, peach and soft-colored roses and hydrangeas. 

The sweetest little flower girls and ring bearer danced carelessly around the garden overlooking Lake Michigan like a vision out of a dream.  The intimate wedding took place on the private beach area and was followed by a BBQ style dinner cooked by their favorite chef. After dinner, cake and lots of champagne, the couple danced their first dance in the garden surrounded by beautiful purple, blue and orange sunset colors. 

Congratulations Jolie + Stu! I wish you all the happiness in the world and am honored to have been a part of your dreamy day. Enjoy the sneak peek!
