Wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix

Showers on the morning of Jenny and Mike’s wedding did not dampen their spirits. The couple were getting married at Castle Farms in Charlevoix Michigan. The Castle is a wonderful venue and offers many locations for a ceremony. It was no problem to move the ceremony inside.

After the ceremony the sky had cleared enough for us to take the trolley down to the shore of Lake Michigan for beach pictures. Our bride really wanted pictures by the popular Charlevoix lighthouse. The temperature had dropped and the wind had come up. Our wedding party where real troupers and we got the photos our couple had their hearts set on.

Once back at the reception being held in the Knights Castle, who cared if it rained!

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.
