romantic intimate winter planterra conservatory wedding

Winter Planterra Conservatory Wedding in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan provided by Kari Dawson, top-rated Metro Detroit wedding photographer, and her team.

Their wedding day…

One thing I knew for sure going into Chere and Tim’s Planterra Conservatory wedding day was that I wanted to give them a day to be bride and groom and capture a set of memories for them that are not connected to their future child. Except for the gender reveal cake we did it! The second thing I knew going into their special day was that I wanted to completely outdo myself and create magazine worthy magical moments with them. They were married (in ceremony) in Santorini, Greece and have the photos to prove it. So I wanted them to have magic moments from their Michigan wedding, too. There is no easier way to create wedding day magic than to have Planterra as the backdrop. Tim and Chere are naturals. They look like models! And the sunshine on this December day played a leading roll.

Their style…

Being quite pregnant didn’t stop Chere from getting into her wedding dress and changed things up from Greece a little bit by adding her faux fur wrap. Her hair and makeup were so impeccably done that touchups were not required and there is no need for any heavy handed editing. Chere was truly glowing on her wedding day and Tim beamed from ear to ear all day nothing but thrilled to make being Chere’s husband official.

A magical setting…

Sunshine, stunning florals, overhead twinkle lights, and a massive amount of open flame candles created a beautifully intimate setting for Tim and Chere to say ‘I do’. But watching their reaction and the reaction of their friends and family when they cut into that cake and learned they are having a girl was really the highlight.

I am so excited to have been on this journey with you both. I am so excited to see you welcome your sweet bundle into the world and look forward to creating more memories together in the future.
