Felt Estate

The Founder
The first time I filmed at the Felt Estate, I understood why couples drive from across the Midwest to get married here. You pull up the long drive, the stone mansion rises above the tree line, and Lake Michigan stretches out behind it — and suddenly everything feels bigger. More significant. The kind of place where promises carry weight.
I started Jaymes Media in 2021 with a simple conviction: your wedding film should make you feel something profound every single time you press play. Based in Metro Detroit, I've filmed over 77 weddings across Michigan — and the Felt Estate holds a rare place in that journey. The way late-afternoon light pours across the ceremony lawn, the dramatic stone architecture that gives every wide shot a sense of scale, the quiet moments on the lakeshore after the ceremony — it's a venue that rewards patience and a cinematic eye.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me with a good cup of coffee, staying active, or dreaming up my next creative project.

The Venue
Perched on the shores of Lake Michigan in Holland, the Felt Estate is a 1920s stone mansion surrounded by 22 acres of gardens, lawns, and lakefront. It's one of Michigan's most cinematic wedding venues — a place where history, nature, and light converge to create something extraordinary on film.
The Felt Estate — originally known as Shore Acres — is a 1920s lakeside mansion built with the kind of craftsmanship that doesn't exist anymore. Stone walls, arched doorways, grand staircases, and a ballroom with soaring ceilings. For a filmmaker, this architecture provides natural framing, dramatic depth, and a sense of permanence that elevates every shot. Your ceremony isn't just happening in a room — it's happening inside a piece of Michigan history.
Few venues in Michigan can claim a direct Lake Michigan backdrop. At the Felt Estate, the ceremony lawn overlooks the lake, and the shoreline is steps away. That means golden-hour portraits with the water stretching to the horizon, the sound of waves during your vows, and a sunset that paints the sky behind you as you walk back down the aisle. On film, it's the kind of backdrop that makes people ask, 'Where was that?'
Because of its western-facing position on Lake Michigan, the Felt Estate catches golden hour in a way that most inland venues simply can't. The light comes in low and warm across the grounds, through the trees, and off the water — creating a soft, cinematic glow that lasts longer than you'd expect. As a filmmaker, I plan around this light. It's the difference between a good shot and a frame that takes your breath away.
The Felt Estate isn't just a building — it's 22 acres of manicured gardens, wooded paths, and open lawns. This means your wedding film has variety: intimate moments in the garden, wide establishing shots across the grounds, a first look on the stone terrace, cocktail hour on the lawn. Every location within the estate has its own character, which gives us the visual range to create a film that feels like a short feature, not a slideshow.
