Wedding on Glen Lake in Leelanau County

When we first met Erica and Mike to do their engagement photos, it was cold, rainy and windy. On the morning of their wedding, it was cold rainy and very windy. YIKES!!

As the day progressed the rain stop, but the wind was still a problem. So we went to plan B which turned out to be great. The reception was being held in the backyard of the bride's parents home on beautiful Glen Lake which was nestled amongst many gorgeous trees. The ceremony was switched to the sheltered shoreline.

With Mike and Erica both being veterinarians, it was only fitting that our flower bearers had wet cold noses...what cuties! Erica's parents both officiated the wedding ceremony which made it all the more special. The stress of the last minute change did not last long. Our bride was so excited to be marring Mike, she could hardly contain herself.

It was our pleasure to be part of this very special occasion. Best wishes to Mike , Erica and the gang.

Wedding at Frog Pond Village

Frog Pond Village is located near Interlochen and is a very popular venue for Northern Michigan Weddings. We usually have more than one wedding there a year and this time we had a mid week Wednesday wedding.

Lynn and Tim traveled from Florida for the small, intimate wedding. Tim had been raised in the Traverse City area so most of the family and friends did not have that far to travel. The ceremony was held at the outdoor Tad Pole chapel and was conducted by the groom's brother.

Their children, family and friends are very important to Tim and Lynn so they wanted to use this opportunity to get some great group shots of everyone. This becomes more and more important to couples today as family seems to get very spread out and occasions when everyone gets together become more rare.

Wedding at Bowers Harbor Inn

With the glistening waters of Bowers Harbor in front her, our beautiful bride Julie walked down aisle to join Bernie on the lawn at Bowers Harbor Inn. As friends and family watched, Bernie and Julie became husband and wife.

With all of the wonderful places to get married at in Northern Michigan it can be hard to choose. Bowers Harbor Inn offers so many of the things that draw couples to our area. It is located on Old Mission Peninsula which has gained nation wide attention for its vineyards and natural beauty. The Inn sits on a lovely piece of land that has a wonderful rolling lawn with a tall majestic tree canopy.

The Inn itself, a former private home is a landmark in the region with a very interesting mystery story of past owners.

This past year the management has completed an impressive new reception hall to accommodate large wedding receptions.

After taking family photos on the lawn , we moved down by the water with our couple. As guest enjoyed cocktails on the Patio of the Inn we got some great beach shots across the way.

We had another great time at the Inn with Julie and Bernie and wish them all the best!
