Jeff + Autumn: Married! | Michigan Backyard Orchard Wedding Photographers, DaveTree Photography

Jeff and Autumn are too cool. Their fall backyard wedding screamed of homemade meets nostalgia with a touch of rock n' roll. Their wedding ceremony and reception took place in the back field near Autumn's childhood home, nestled in orchard country- making it one of the best and quirky backyard weddings we have had the honor to shoot. Their fur-baby, Frisbee, was the ring bearer, they had homemade cupcakes and little gold animals on the tables- a tattoo bar for the kids (and some adults), friends and family pitched in to make some awesome dinner, they even let the groomsmen sneak off to fish during the reception! It was totally laid back and cool. They even had a mustache contest! I still don't know who won... but these guys were pretty creative with their facial hair. Congratulations again, you guys :) But enough of the words- on to the images!

Autumn and Jeff released a balloon in the beginning of their ceremony to honor loved ones who have passed.

They entrusted their dog, Frisbee, with the actual rings, tied to his tuxedo bib.
