High school sweethearts Alyson and Lamar made a spur of the moment decision to tie the knot after many years together but their elopement left them without wedding photos. For their anniversary, seven years later, they decided to finally have their love commemorated in pictures (it is never too late to get wedding photos taken!). This gorgeous shoot, inspired by Christina’s Cakery French Toil wedding cake, encompasses the natural beauty of the Michigan countryside. A rustic ceremony arch made of wood vines, casual hay bale seating, and vintage blue details are perfect for an elegant country barn venue. Happy anniversary Alyson and Lamar! Ybbil Photography is behind the lens.

Alyson and Lamar now have three beautiful boys and have recently started a fitness journey as a family. Over the past year they have lost a total of 130lbs!
