A wedding at Willow Harbor Vineyard and Dewey Cannon Winery in Three Oaks, Michigan is unique for many reasons, let alone the bride's arrival in an old 1970's Rolls Royce. The ceremony site is located amongst wine vineyards in southwestern Michigan just over the Indiana state line.
It is a great location for an outdoor wedding with much greenery as you can see below with our bride Kelly being walked down the aisle by her parents.
The actual wedding nuptials take place below decorated pillars in the midst of the fields. Mat and kelly were all smiles during their ring exchange with family and friends looking on.
Soon the newlyweds would seal things with a kiss as they exit the picturesque ceremony site amongst the vineyards.
Family photos followed such as this one with mom showing much affection for her son, the groom.
As storm clouds formed over the vineyard, I had the bride and groom stand at the edge of the row and share some moments together and a brand new husband and wife.

I knew from shooting the couple's Chicago Session engagement photos that they loved black and white. Here, the groomsmen get the same treatment.

We walked all over the fields of love at Willow Harbor Vineyard in southwest Michigan. We came across the old white pillar that surely was the scene of wedding ceremonies of the past.
The sun was shining upon us at this point and was time for a break and perhaps a few more kisses...
Nothing wrong with a little peek-a-boo amongst the tall vineyards...
As I stated in a previous posting, we found a ladder laying in the fields that was still in decent shape. This gave me an opportunity to have the bride and groom the image and at the same time show the vastness of the green fields with the blue sky above.
Soon we were back in downtown Three Oaks in front of Dewey Cannon Winery for the reception. We decided to take it to the streets for this fun and unique wedding photo. I added a grunge border and bit of faded color for the vintage look.
