Friday I was blessed again to spend the afternoon on Mackinac Island, Michigan for a Wedding at The Inn at Stonecliffe.  Amy and Charlie are two cool cats!  We had a great time together.   Amy is an absolute beauty, and Charlie is a handsome lad as well.

When I arrived to the Wedding the clouds were thick and the overcast and it looked like rain.  But, oh no, my friend, the clouds cleared and Amy and Charlie’s beautiful smile beamed during the day.

The couple is from Chicago, Illinois and planned this beautiful destination wedding on Mackinac Island, Michigan.  Amy had an idea in her head what she wanted on her Wedding day and her matron of honor, Tara, from Invitations by Design, helped her dream come true.   Tara’s designs and over-the-top details added that special touch to Amy and Charlie’s Wedding day.  You can see a bunch of the products that Tara produced in the slideshows below.  Anything on paper Tara did and will do for you too.  Call her and let her design your invitations, programs, signs, speech cards, seating chart, menus, thank yous, or anything you can imagine.

The Wedding theme for the day was Mackinac Island and bicycles.  They had bicycles on their Wedding cake and lots of bicycles on the signs and details.  The Wedding cake was designed by Bella e Dolce and was stunning.

Kristin and Andrew are Married!  They had originally planned on 100 people or less and when they said they were getting married on beautiful Mackinac Island the plans changed quickly, everyone wanted to come.  The end result…180 guests!  All the people added a little flair to the day and it brightened up the rainy skies.

It was great to see a family and a group of friends come together to celebrate after a tragic loss of a father.  What a whirlwind this family has been through but they made the day shine!   Thank you for being so willing to have fun and experiment even with the on and off rain and wet grounds.

Michele and Paul were married on Thursday this week at the Gazebo at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island.  It had been raining for almost two days and the skies cleared for this beautiful couple.  It was just fabulous light and the intimate Wedding was perfect.  We spent about 1.5 hours together making images around Mission Point Resort.
