Tessa & Ben’s South Haven Intimate Wedding

Tessa & Ben had an incredible intimate wedding day in South Haven, Michigan!

They started their day by getting ready with their families before walking down the aisle together to their intimate ceremony in the yard of their gorgeous Airbnb. Ben’s sister officiated their beautiful ceremony. Afterwards, they enjoyed some BBQ and cupcakes together, and then challenged each other to ping pong and darts. One of my favorite post-wedding activities I’ve ever captured was Tessa and Ben playing ping pong and darts together, they had so much fun!⁠

Tessa and Ben each wrote the other a letter on the morning of their wedding, and they read them together quietly after their ceremony. Then we drove over to the beach, and Tessa rocked the best wedding sunglasses of all time! Be sure to scroll to the end of the photos to see her epic glasses.

They spent some time walking around the beach and pier and watching the sunset together before heading back to their Airbnb for a bonfire and s’mores.⁠

Tessa and Ben had the kind of elopement day that all couples should have – relaxed, stress-free, and full of fun. I’m so happy that I was able to capture their beautiful day! Congratulations to you both!!
