Wedding at Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island

A Grand Hotel wedding isn’t your average, every day, ordinary wedding.  There is somethins SO SPECIAL about getting married on the longest porch in the USA, overlooking the straights of Mackinac, surrounded by beautiful flowers, and even more beautiful friends and family!

This weekend we are gearing up for three weddings, and couldn't be more excited that one of them has us back at Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island!! 

The happy bride and groom walking down the aisle after their beautiful wedding ceremony on the West Porch at Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island!

We love that we got to walk around the grounds of the Tea Garden at Grand Hotel, after this happy couples wedding ceremony on Mackinac Island!

This is one of our FAVORITE pictures that we've taken at Grand Hotel, everything just came together perfectly in this moment. The amazing pink flowers, a peaceful moment between in a busy day, and a beautiful bride with a handsome groom!

Mackinac Island Spring Lilac's

It's already been a crazy-good year for us, and there's nothing like the beautiful lilac's and spring flowers all around the Island that make us stop and remember what a blessing it is to get the chance to live and work on Mackinac Island!!

There was something so special about photographing James & Emily's wedding.  Perhaps it was the sunshine, the flowers in full bloom, or that there were smiles everywhere (and we loved working with Carole Erbel at Mission Point Resort!!)!

  Images with the beautiful spring Mackinac Island flowers in the background were important to the bride and groom! We were able to capture lots of spring blooms while on their carriage ride around the island, at various stops along the way!

We LOVED the beautiful pink and white peonies! Such an elegant statement for the bride and grooms wedding flowers!

We LOVE Mackinac Island and all of it's beautiful spring lilac's! And they made a perfect backdrop for photographs with the bride & groom when they took their intimate carriage ride around Mackinac Island after their wedding ceremony at Ste. Anne's Catholic Church!

A Carriage Ride around Mackinac Island

One of our favorite things to photograph on your wedding day? The little moments "in-between", when you think we're not looking...

We loved this moment that happened during a Mackinac Island carriage ride, before their ceremony at The Inn at Stonecliffe!! It was a perfect, sunny day.  The Bride was beautiful, the groom was handsome, and they were totally smitten with one another!
