John and Courtney had a gorgeous October wedding at the Pine Knob Mansion, located in Clarkston, Michigan. I’ve lived most of my life in Oakland County and under 10 minutes from the Pine Knob Mansion, but had never been… it is BEAUTIFUL! I cannot wait to photograph another wedding at the Pine Knob Mansion in the future!
John’s immediate reaction when I first saw him in the afternoon was priceless, he yelled out in excitement, “JEFF!” He came right over to meet my wife Megan, who was second shooting. The day may have been a little chilly but everyone pulled through and celebrated John and Courtney’s start as a married couple. Megan and I had a great time with the wedding party, friends, and family. John and Courtney, you guys are GREAT!

We were upstairs in a room overlooking the gazebo at the Pine Knob Mansion, windows everywhere! We had some nice light and a antique chair, made a great picture of Courtney relaxing before the big event.
Did I mention it was kind of cold and the heat didn’t want to kick on until much later… Anyways, I think Courtney looks great with the wedding dress accessory!
I love the expressions on Courtney and her father’s faces as they walk towards the gazebo! They both look so incredibly happy!
The Pine Knob Mansion Gardens were a beautiful setting…
The background from the gazebo was full of fall colors, I loved it!
Ring BLING!
The cake looked great and tasted even better, thanks Great Lakes Cakes!
A piano and violin combo just before dinner started was a nice touch as everyone warmed up from being outside.
John and Courtney look so happy as they share their first dance as a married couple!
It’s time to party!
Thanks for letting Megan and I document, hang out, and participate in your wedding! Best wishes to you both!
