As we ring in the New Year, I’m thrilled to share an unforgettable celebration I had the privilege of capturing this past November: an elegant Etre Farms wedding that was as timeless & stunning as it was fun. This was my second time at Etre with Laurenda Marie Photography in 2024, and I’m confident in saying I will never tire of photographing there.

Located in St. Joseph, Michigan, Etre Farms combines rustic luxury with modern class. Not your typical barn wedding venue, Etre offers elegance in every aspect of its events. The soaring ceilings, stunning natural light, and meticulously designed interiors create an exquisite canvas for any wedding.

This couple’s refined black, white, and tan color palette added a sophisticated touch to every aspect of the day. From the classic floral arrangements to the stylish bridal party attire, every detail was thoughtfully curated to reflect their elegant vision. One of my favorite highlights was the inclusion of their adorable dog in their portraits. Just wait until you see his cute bow tie!

Another memorable feature of this elegant Etre Farms wedding was the specialty cocktails, which added a fun and personalized twist to the reception. Not only did the bride and groom each choose a signature cocktail for the night, there were special drinks during the dancing portion of the evening as well. Notably, the venue staff had espresso martinis served to the guests when the song Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter came on. And later, a parade of root beer floats made an appearance.

As we step into 2025, I can’t wait to photograph more love stories. Luckily I get to head back to Etre in June to celebrate with another amazing couple! Cheers to a year filled with love, light, and laughter!
