This intimate Mary Martha Chapel Wedding at Greenfield Village is provided by Kari Dawson, top-rated Dearborn, Michigan engagement and wedding photographer, and her team.
It was just last week that I shared Adriana and Anthony’s recent engagement session in downtown New Baltimore and boom now they’re married!! If you missed their engagement session you can see it HERE.
Anthony and Adriana spent the morning of their wedding day together. Checking into a room at the Henry where Adriana would curl her hair and have makeup professionally applied (vendors below). Dress and suit in hand they made their way through Greenfield Village, headed for the chapel. Adriana and Anthony were blessed with a gorgeous, warm, sunny day. The lower level of the chapel was cool as the guests for their intimate wedding began to fill the chapel pews.
Anthony’s nerves began to skyrocket and I continued to gently remind him that as soon as he had a few seconds post-ceremony with Adriana on the horse-drawn carriage that all would be right in the world. They exchanged vows and wedding rings during their short and emotional ceremony. Their first kiss. And the ever so fun ringing of the chapel bell to let everyone in the village know they said ‘I do!’
Finally, they had the space to take everything in. They sat knee to knee on the horse-drawn carriage that carried them through the village. A clink of the champagne glasses and a sip in a toast to their nuptials and both of their shoulders relaxed. Both were truly radiant during their romantic portraits together before joining their guests at Mint 29 for dinner.

Karli has been Kari’s creative partner for five years. Before every wedding, we visualize you as a couple, your venue, and your day, so we walk in prepared for a calm, intentional experience.
Kari is the creative director, and since she’s only human and can’t be everywhere at once, Karli closes the gaps. She shoots alongside Kari, keeps the day on schedule, carries your bouquet, fixes your veil, and is a real-life cheering squad.
That’s not even the best part. She’s also Kari’s daughter, which means we communicate without words. She anticipates what Kari needs before she asks, and together we’ve built a wedding-day rhythm you'll notice.
One leads, one closes the gaps, and nothing gets missed.
