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.

You’ll feel calm on one of the most overwhelming days of your life. You’ll forget the camera was there. And later, you’ll hold photographs of moments you didn’t know were happening.
That’s because of who’s in the room. Kari has been photographing weddings since 2012. She’s the calm presence, the one your mom will find herself talking to. Karli is the one making your bridesmaids laugh and keeping the day on time.
We don’t divide and conquer. We’re in the same moment, Kari wide and Karli close, catching each other’s eye across the room when we see something worth keeping.
A mother and daughter. Both five feet even. Among your people.
