Some wedding days feel like pure magic, and Kathy and Zeya’s Frutig Farms wedding in Ann Arbor was just that. From the heartfelt first looks to the joyful dancing under the barn, every moment was unforgettable.
A Memorable First Look
Kathy and Zeya’s day began with their first look in front of the farmhouse at Frutig Farms. A light drizzle began to fall as they saw each other for the first time, but as if on cue, the rain stopped just as they embraced. One of the most touching moments of the day was Kathy’s first look with her parents. The love and pride in their eyes were palpable. They didn’t need to say a word, they just embraced their daughter with open arms and the warmest smiles.
An Intimate Ceremony by the Pond
The couple’s ceremony took place near the pond under a floral-adorned pergola. Surrounded by lush greenery and their closest family and friends, Kathy and Zeya exchanged vows on an overcast May day. The intimate setting, combined with the heartfelt words they shared, had nearly every guest wiping away tears. The joy on Kathy and Zeya’s faces as they walked down the aisle together was contagious!!! Seriously, the entire crowd was cheering for them and there was a special kind of love energy on this day.
Portraits That Captured Their Love
I adored their portrait photos together. Kathy and Zeya’s gentle connection and quiet moments of affection were so touching to capture. You could feel how deeply they valued every second of this day spent together. The soft, overcast light provided the perfect setting for their portraits, casting a natural, even glow that highlighted their joy.
My favorite images came from in front of the pond, where the gentle drizzle from earlier left the grass a lush, vibrant green.. The way they held each other, smiled, and laughed during this time made it clear how much this day symbolized not just their union but the start of a deeply meaningful journey together. Words didn’t need to be spoken, they just embraced the time together.
A Celebration to Remember
After their formal family photos, Kathy and Zeya joined their guests for cocktails and dinner under the expansive tent. The space was filled with laughter, love, and the incredible aroma of Zingerman’s catering. As the evening unfolded, Richard from Michael’s Entertainment kept the dance floor alive with his impeccable playlist, ensuring the celebration was one for the books.
Kathy and Zeya’s wedding was a beautiful reflection of their love story—intimate, heartfelt, and full of joy. It was an honor to capture these moments for such an incredible couple.
