Halloween Wedding at Odin’s Owl

Katie and Piotr’s wedding at the enchanting Odin’s Owl in Birch Run, Michigan, was a dream come true for lovers of all things Halloween. With a theme steeped in spooky, fun, and whimsical details, this wedding was everything a Halloween-loving photographer could hope for! Odin’s Owl provided the perfect setting, surrounded by Michigan’s vibrant fall colors and forested landscape, creating an atmosphere both magical and mysterious. Here’s a peek into this unforgettable day!

A Day Full of Anticipation and Laughter

Katie and Piotr’s day began with a flurry of excitement as I arrived at Odin’s Owl to capture the getting-ready moments. The bride’s details and dress were pure Halloween elegance – Katie’s choice of a black gown was a stunning nod to her love for the spooky and offbeat. The bridesmaids, dressed in rich burgundy, were perfect complements to the theme, while Piotr looked dashing in his dark attire that struck the right balance between classic and edgy.

Katie’s bridesmaids gathered around her for a heartfelt first look, an emotional and joyful moment that set the tone for the day. As Katie and Piotr prepared separately, the excitement was palpable as they anticipated seeing each other for their private first look amidst the enchanting fall scenery.

Quiet Moments Among the Trees

When it was time for Katie and Piotr’s first look, we ventured into the woods surrounding Odin’s Owl. This secluded, colorful forest was the perfect backdrop, allowing them to share a quiet, intimate moment away from the day’s busyness. Watching them together, it was clear they found comfort and joy in each other’s presence. The vibrant leaves added to the whimsy, and it was a beautiful contrast to Katie’s stunning black dress and Piotr’s dark tuxedo. We spent some time capturing their portraits, giving them a chance to soak in their special day together.

“Til Death” and Jack-o’-Lanterns

Katie and Piotr’s ceremony beautifully captured their Halloween-inspired vision with a mix of elegance and eerie charm. As guests gathered at Odin’s Owl, they were greeted by Michigan’s vibrant autumn colors and a medieval-style arch altar at the end of the aisle, creating a hauntingly beautiful setting. Carved jack-o’-lanterns lined the front of the venue, casting a warm glow and adding a whimsical, spooky touch. Katie, in her black gown, was a vision as she walked down the aisle, with vows exchanged against the stunning natural backdrop.

On the patio, a neon “‘Til Death” sign served as a playful photo backdrop for guests. They captured memories surrounded by the Halloween-inspired decor. This unique detail added extra charm to the day. Katie and Piotr’s wedding was a perfect blend of timeless romance and offbeat style.

A Celebration of Love and Halloween

After the ceremony, family portraits and cocktail hour took place under Odin’s Owl’s beautiful fall canopy. The guests mingled, enjoying the whimsical decor that perfectly blended Halloween ambiance with wedding elegance.

A Night to Remember

Katie and Piotr’s first dance was a beautiful, emotional moment, that kicked off an epic night of dancing and celebration. Nathan of Prestige Entertainment ensured that the dance floor stayed packed for the rest of the night, and Katie and Piotr were fully in the moment, surrounded by friends and family celebrating their love.
