Traverse City Park Place Hotel

Last Spring as we were perusing the lawn care isle at Home Depot my cell rang and Lisa told me she was on our website and loved our wedding photos. I thanked her and she stated that she wanted to book us for her wedding and proceeded to make a deposit as we spoke.

Being a very busy doctor, Lisa was looking for a venue that could do it all for her. She found a perfect match for her needs at the Park Place Hotel, located in downtown Traverse City, in beautiful Northern Michigan.

Lisa and Joel were able to hold all the events for their wedding right at the Park Place Hotel. With friends and family present, their Rabbi oversaw the signing of the Kutuba and Joel veiled his bride. The wedding party then moved to the Courtyard Room where the rest of their guests had gathered for the marriage ceremony.

After a lovely ceremony, Joel and Lisa's guests proceeded at the Top of The Park reception area located on the top floor of the hotel. The rooms all round glass windows offer one of the most striking views of the Grand Traverse Bay and Old Mission Peninsula. After dinner our couple enjoyed dancing and celebrating with friends.

Castle Farms Wedding in Charlevoix

We all know that weddings can be stressful. That is why having your wedding at a venue such as Castle Farms near Charlevoix is such a great stress reliever. A bride as a variety of options for the ceremony to ensure that her wedding vision is fulfilled.

Our bride Angela on October 18th choose right the beginning to hold her fall wedding ceremony indoors in the Kings Great Hall. Thus, any worry about the weather was eliminated. It did turn out to be a pleasant day, so we were still able to use the garden areas around the Castle for many of our photos as well.

Angela and Brian were a fantastic couple to work with and it was a pleasure to be a part of their special day. Angela had a bubbly personality and Brian easy going and always grinning. We also need to say something about the parents. You could tell how very happy and excited they all were about the union of these two kids. Indeed, after the ceremony the parents walked down the aisle and once in the lobby had one great big group hug!

The wedding guests enjoyed a lovley reception held in the kings great Roon. With delicious food, great music, and good company, it was easy to see that everyone was having a great time at the Castle.

Best wishes to Angie and Brian

Another beautiful Wedding at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa

When Debbie agreed to let her best friend at work play matchmaker on her behalf, it was the best decision she ever made. It worked out pretty good for Steve too!

On a beautiful October 11th Debbie and Steve were married at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa in northern Michigan. It worked out well for us because we had photographed Debbie's cousins wedding in 2006 and she recommended our services to Debbie.

Their ceremony was held under the Pavilion tent area overlooking the resort and golf course. It was only fitting that the person who brought them together, was the person to speak during their ceremony and tell their love story. To be honest, when she was done there was not too many dry eyes under the tent.

Steve and Debbie, along with their entire wedding party were a delight to work with. We love couples that seem to grin the entire day...and that is how we would describe Debbie and Steve...they and their guests had a blast!

Our couple was kind enough to let us slip them outside during the reception,which was being held in the Michigan Room. This gave us the opportunity to catch some romantic moon light photos.

Our very best wishes for many years of happiness to a great couple.
