Last time we saw these two, we were running around on a snowy day in Ferndale at their engagement session.  Clearly I’m a bit behind in blogging, because I LOVED Jen + Jarrett’s fall Pine Knob Mansion wedding!  Their day was not only gorgeous and fun but it was so deeply thought out with family in mind.  They incorporated so many family traditions and pieces of things that represent their lives – they really made their day their own.  It was a day full of family, happy tears and some gorgeous, but chilly October Michigan weather.  And Jen’s dress…. *gasp*, can well all give a round of applause for the dress?!  It was so good, The Huffington Post published her in her dress (scroll down to #21!)!  J + J, thank you so much for inviting me into your lives and your amazing day!  It was so much more than I could have imagined!  xo, e
