12 Corners Vineyard Winery Wedding Benton Harbor Michigan Photographed by Shane Cleminson

Jenna & Javier had an incredible 12 Corners Vineyard Wedding. Several factors made it such a great wedding to photograph. Firstly, these two are beyond photogenic. Secondly 12 Corners Vineyard is a spectacular venue. Thirdly, we had incredible weather. Fourthly, Jenna had planned the perfect timeline and got my input, so there was time with the girls and guys before. This allowed for fun creative photos. I could go on and on. The DJ’s were incredible and unique with drummers and insane dance mixes. The sunset was special too. Not the best ever, but pretty darn special haha. I prefer a few clouds to add more color. But hey some things are beyond a venues control and they hooked us up with good weather haha.

The bridal party was crazy fun, and  I set up a light at sunset to get photos of groups and couples in the vineyard.

Records fell!

I generally take about 3000 photos at a wedding. I laughed (maybe cried a little too) when I saw I took over 7500 at this wedding. Crazy1 I know. Overshooting?  Maybe, but I was aiming  for candid moments and the light was so good most of the day and the dance floor packed and the details and flowers endless haha. I chalk it up to just enjoying the moments so much I just kept shooting. The time with the guys and girls before the ceremony added a lot too. I think it took two days to cut the wedding down to 1350 photos. (also a record).
