Mackinac Island Wedding | Wedding destination island

The 2010 Mackinac Island Wedding season is about to begin.  The weather has been everything but normal this year.  Last year the snowmobiles were still running today and now there isn’t but a hint of snow on the ground.  We have already seen 80+ degree temps that have broken records too.  Who knows what the weather will be like this year.  Hopefully it will be just a bit warmer than last summer on the island though.

Paul Retherford Wedding Photography (Me) is still available for Wedding Photography commisions on Mackinac Island.  I have a handful of Weddings booked this year on Mackinaw Island and I will be happy to book some more Photography sessions and Weddings.  I capture Weddings, trash the dress, fash the dress, family, pet, engagement, senior, lifestyle and whatever else you can think up.  I have had everything from simple headshots all the way to a large Wedding on Mackinac Island, Michigan.

Mackinac Island is a destination location in Northern Michigan that is a motor-free island.  The common modes of transportation are feet, bike, and carriage.   The island has a beautiful downtown with a mix of boutique and trendy shops with lots of food and fudge.  Bring the entire family and enjoy a vacation.  Do a hike around the island, rent a horse and carriage, bike the 10-mile island loop, check out the arch rock, see beautiful landscapes gardens and houses, relax on the lawn by the lake, bring  your dog, fly a kite, shop, or just people watch and make new friends.

How about your high school senior pictures on a cool island like Mackinac Island?  The images are truly spectacular and the opportunities for images are spectacular.  Everything from water to nature to architecture to horses…cool stuff!

The fash the dress/trash the dress sessions on Mackinac Island, Michigan are really awesome!  Hire a horse carriage to travel around the island and I will lead and follow you on my bike and capture fabulous images in and out of the carriage.  I create images that tell your story of the trip around the island and the love and emotion between the two of you.  The images that I create will be cherished forever, my testimonials will prove that!  The sessions are going to be the highlight of your Mackinac Island Trip!
