Leland Lodge Ceremony

The Leland Lodge in quaint town of Leland was the setting for the marriage celebration of Jennifer and Nick.

You could not have asked for a better day to hold an outside ceremony in northern Michigan. The ceremony was held in the courtyard of the lodge to the music of a string quartet.

Our bride looked stunning in her lace overlay gown with its simple and elegant accent of a simple sash at the waist. Special members of the wedding party included our flower girl, Kiaya and Charlie, the ring bearer. Charlie sported a bell on his collar, while Kiaya had a collar decorated in flowers for this special occasion.

After the ceremony guests moved to the outside deck area overlooking the golf course for cocktails and hors d' oeuvres, before moving into the dining room. After dinner we stole our bride and groom away for a short while. With the beautiful beach of Lake Michigan so close, we did not want to miss the opportunity for fantastic photos.

Once we returned, it was time to get the party started with the music of the Fabulous Horn Dogs! We left our couple doing just what they should on their wedding day, having a good time.

Our best wishes.

Back at the Castle

The Queens Courtyard at Charlevoix's Castle Farms provided a grand setting for the marriage of Jessie and Jodi.

Many family and friends gathered on a beautiful day to witness the ceremony that would united not just Jessie, but his children too, to Jodi to form a new family.

The atmosphere was very festive. We used the Butterfly Garden to gather friends and family together to capture lots of photos and memories.

It was a pleasure to be included in their special day. Best wishes for many years of happiness.
