Ann + Jeff // Traverse City, Michigan

This year we celebrated another awesome couple as the rang in the New Year. Justin went to the Grand Traverse Resort in Traverse City, Michigan to celebrate with Ann and Jeff for their big day and it was a night to remember. We have always been a big fan of New Years weddings but this one was something special.

Ann and Jeff are Tawas locals and also a husband / wife business duo like Justin and I. They own the sweetest coffee shop on the Main Street in our little beach town which has become a staple to visitors and locals alike. They are two of the friendliest faces you will meet which makes them the perfect fit to own a coffee shop. I have personally loved getting to know them since moving home and over the span of planning their wedding day with them. We became instant friends and I am so thankful that they asked us to be an apart of their day.

When I asked Justin what he took away from their day that was special, he said that he had the best conversation with Jeff about marriage. The talked about the commitment of marriage, how special and significant it is, and how owning a business with your spouse amplifies that even more. Owning a business with your spouse you learn to work together, make decisions together, support one another, and it’s a bond that only a husband and wife business duo will understand.

I am so thankful for these two, their friendships and for their love of our small town and small businesses. I cannot wait to see what their future holds. Congratulations Ann and Jeff, we hope 2025 is the best year yet! Happy New Year!
