Dreamy. Intimate. Magical. Bethany + Jonathan’s big day was truly a fairytale.
Bethany + Jonathan’s wedding took place in a very special location: Bethany’s family ranch. A Yak or 2 Ranch in Mancelona, Michigan, is not only a working yak farm, but it is now also an event venue! And a beautiful one at that.
From preparations at Bethany’s childhood home to a first look in the very location that Jonathan proposed, it was quickly evident that this day was going to be one of great sentimentality and meaning. And it certainly was. A gorgeous ceremony in the trees, photos around the ranch, and tearful speeches given by Bethany + Jonathan’s loved ones. And the party wasn’t over!
Just as the sun was sinking below the horizon, wedding guests moved outside to dance the night away under the stars. Bethany + Jonathan, your wedding was an absolutely beautiful one, and I consider it a privilege to have been invited to document it for you. Congratulations, Friends!
