October in Michigan just hits different—crisp air, golden light, and that cozy fall vibe you can’t fake. Tyler and McKenzie’s October Lazy J Ranch Wedding had all of it.
The day started low-key and personal. Tyler got ready with his guys at Camp Dearborn while McKenzie hung out with her bridesmaids in the ranch’s loft space. The morning felt calm but full of that excited, can’t-wait energy.
One of the most meaningful details? Both of them carried little tributes to family members who couldn’t be there. McKenzie’s bouquet had a pendant tucked in, and Tyler had his pinned inside his suit. It was simple, but so powerful.
Before the ceremony, they slipped away to read private vows—just the two of them. No audience, no distractions. And right on cue, the sun broke through the clouds like it was in on the moment.
Their ceremony stayed true to them, complete with pouring beers into one glass as a unity ritual. From there, it was all about the party—dancing under string lights, stars overhead, and that unbeatable October night energy.
