Melanie & Matt got Married at Bay Harbor Resort and Marina

When Melanie and Matt were looking for a gorgeous and elegant setting for their wedding on September 20th, they found it at Bay Harbor Resort and Marina. Located in Petosky Michigan on the shores of Lake Michigan, Bay Harbor offers not only top rated accommodations and world class cuisine, but the two things our bride wanted most. Melanie wanted water and a beautiful sunset. She got them both.

Melanie and her ladies had a busy morning of preparations. Hair and make up were well in progress by the time we met up with them in their condo. With its large windows, the condo gave our bride a spectacular view of Lake Michigan as well as her ceremony site.

Our couple were married on the Observation Deck at the resort which is surrounded on three sides by water. Once all the guests had arrived and were seated, the trolley delivered Melanie and her attendants to the waters edge. Our bride, accompanied by her parents, made her way out on to the Observation Deck where Matt was waiting. It was picture perfect.

After the ceremony, guests made their way to the reception site, where Matt and Melanie hosted a cocktail hour. They were then invited in to the banquet room for dinner and dancing.

As guests enjoyed themselves we were able to sneak away with the bride and groom for Melanie's sunset pictures. It was one of the most gorgeous sunsets of the season. A handsome groom and a beautiful bride, what more could you ask for. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.

Our best wishes for many years of happiness.
