Welcome to my Mackinac Island Wedding Photography Blog. I am a full-time working Professional Photographer working on Mackinac Island Weddings. My style is a nice mix of Candid, Traditional, and Wedding Photojournalism. See why hundreds of Weddings Clients RAVE about Paul Retherford Wedding Photography.
Mackinac Island, Michigan is a fabulous location to be Married! There are no cars allowed on the island so walking, biking, and horse drawn carriage are the means of transportation. Life is slow paced and the island is beautiful! I work at all of the Mackinac Island Locations doing Weddings, Family Images, Pet Photography, Children, Senior Images, and more. Places like The Grand Hotel, Mission Point Resort, The Inn at Stonecliffe, The Island House, Iroquois Hotel, Chippewa Hotel, Little Stone Church, St. Anne's Catholic Church, Fort Mackinac, Historic Mission Church, and all Mackinac Island Wedding locations.

Andrea and Nick are Married in an intimate Wedding at the Island House Hotel porch on Mackinac Island Michigan. This Wedding location is beautiful overlooking the Mackinac Island harbor and steps from downtown and all of the ferry lines. Very easy location to find and have family from out of town attend the Wedding ceremony and reception. The porch is very nice. The Island House Hotel also has a gazebo for Weddings in the back. Carol is a wonderful Wedding coordinator and she will make your Wedding run smoothly.
