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.

The Wedding was at The Little Stone Church on Mackinac Island, Michigan, a Michigan Historic site, at 2pm with the reception following at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island, Michigan.

The Mackinac Island Destination Dream Wedding Weekend hosted by the Mackinac Island Visitor Bureau is a fantastic way to see the beautiful Island in Northern Michigan and get ideas for your Wedding on Mackinac Island, Michigan.

The weekend is balanced out to allow you to visit locations around Mackinac Island and meet some of the Vendors available for your Wedding on the Island.    As a member of the Mackinac Island Tourism Bureau, vendors are allowed to set up space in island locations to visit with the incoming brides and grooms on Saturday.

Unfortunately, I, Paul Retherford Wedding Photography,  will be busy shooting a Wedding at Castle Farms on Saturday and I will not be on Mackinac Island until Sunday to meet with people.  If you would like to set up an appointment please call me at 231.445.1793 or email me at paul@paulretherford.com

Another option to REALLY see who I am and how I work is to go to Images for a Cure and book a Photography session with me for Sunday October 11, 2009.  Click on the find a photographer tab and then find Paul Retherford Wedding Photography or just click here.  The Sessions are over 50% off and all of the proceeds go directly to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation!  You get all of the images on DVD for your use to print, an online website with images placed on it, images uploaded to Facebook which you can tag too.  What a wonderful way to spend an hour of your day on Mackinac Island.  Rent a bike and lets go have some fun on the island!

Yesterday I attended the Mackinac Island Visitor Bureau Media meeting at the Lilac Tree on Mackinac Island, Michigan.  Wow, online content and Web 2.0 is moving at a shocking rate.  What I thought that I had figured out is now changing.  I met some more of the Mackinac Island Business owners and that was cool too.

The weather was to die for too.  I couldn’t believe that I was watching the flag on The Grand Hotel lying against the pole, no wind.  There is always some type of beautiful breeze on the island.

On the way off of the island I picked a few things up at Mackinac Outfitters which is running a storewide 40% off sale.

Check out the video that I took on my Flip Video leaving the island.
