Their Wedding Story
David and Christine were married on June 13, 2026 at Tobacco Ranch in Clare, Michigan, during a classic mid-June day that carried the first real warmth of summer.

The setting offered a blend of soft natural light, wooden textures, and open air that framed the moment without overwhelming it.
