Torch Lake Backyard Wedding | Beth + Max

Beth and Max’s Backyard Wedding was held at a location that was deeply sentimental to both of them, adding to the intimacy and love of their day. “Torch Lake is so special to both Max and Beth and their families. It’s a spiritual, social, and environmental pillar in our lives. And Beth’s dad’s property in party mode is second to none! Those Edison bulbs really transformed the space.”

Being in such a familiar location brought a sense of ease on the morning of their big day. “Beth was calm and ready to do this! Her best friend crawled into bed with her at 5:30 AM before her morning run, and Beth went back to sleep. Max’s best friend metaphorically crawled into bed with him, and then he swam and relaxed in the late morning with his closest friends.”

There were so many beautiful moments from the day, but for Beth, she remembers the smell of chamomile, rose, and lavender as they were showered on her and Max during their recessional. “The band playing Power of Two was really special, too. We danced and danced into the evening—even after the rain and after the band turned in. The dancing was epic. Max with his pocket watch and boots.”

Apart from that, Beth was amazed by the outpouring of love from their guests. “Loved ones connecting, laughing, meeting each other for the first time—it was absolutely magical.”

For Max, he agrees with all of Beth’s sentiments. But he added, “That first look almost took me down! Watching my new wife smile—she hadn’t been that happy in a long time. I also really liked the short greetings of all our guests as they passed from the dock to the shore.”

When asked to describe their wedding day in three words, they said, “fun, spiritual bonds, happiness” and “safety, connection, and love.” Congratulations, Beth + Max! It was truly an honor to be a part of your special day.
