Allyson Hutchison | March 7, 2023Our 2023 Look Book team utilized the perfect fall colors in full bloom around this Michigan property to create a modern moody shoot in the great outdoors. The rich and warm colors of the season made it difficult for our planning team, Burns Special Events, to choose a color palette for this shoot but they also inspired them.
