Emily + Tyler | Clare Michigan wedding at The Venue

Wedding at The Venue at 501 | Clare, MI

Emily & Tyler’s Cozy Winter Celebration

Emily and Tyler’s December wedding at The Venue at 501 in Clare, MI was intimate, personal, and full of charm. With a warm, rustic vibe and 80 close friends and family, their day was beautifully relaxed from start to finish.

Getting Ready & First Look

Emily got ready upstairs in a cozy Airbnb while Tyler prepped in the venue’s downstairs speakeasy. We captured robe shots with the girls, laid-back moments with the guys, and sweet details like his and hers vow books. A quiet first lookin a tucked-away room was the perfect moment before the ceremony.

Ceremony & Family Moments

The indoor ceremony was heartfelt and simple, followed by family photos featuring their daughter, Lillian, and close relatives. A highlight was a memorial mantle honoring loved ones who had passed.

Reception Highlights

After a grand entrance, Emily and Tyler shared cake, dinner, and first dances. With DJ Ryan keeping the music going, they skipped bouquet and garter tosses to spend more time with guests. The evening wrapped up around 11:30, full of laughter, love, and great energy.

It’s my philosophy that you shouldn’t have to plan your wedding around your photographers schedule. Its YOUR day, therefore coverage for all wedding commissions cover your arrival at the church through the formalities at your reception. All wedding collections also include an image disk of (edited) high resolution digital negatives.

2024 wedding commissions start at $2645, with most clients choosing from album collections starting at $3145. I generally fill my schedule from April to October each year, so booking 10 - 12 months in advance is recommended.
