Grand Hotel Mackinac Island Porch Wedding | Paul Retherford

August 9, 2011

Porch outdoor Wedding Grand Hotel Mackinac Island, Michigan

Kristie and Todd are a fabulous combination. Their love shined through on their Wedding day at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan in Northern Michigan. This location is a beautiful spot for your outdoor Wedding in a destination location that is only accessible by horse, bike, or foot; no motorized vehicles permitted. This adds to the alure of the Grand Hotel and they huge porch Wedding location. The sound of the horse hooves clanking by adding to the soft melody of the cellist created a utopia for their Wedding ceremony.

Kristie and Todd opted to have a first look and then do all of their images prior to the Wedding ceremony so that they could spend all of the time with their family and friends at their intimate Wedding Ceremony and Reception on the Grand Hotel porch. Here are some of the beautiful images we captured prior to the Wedding Ceremony on the porch at the Grand Hotel, Mackinac Island.

The bride and groom opted for more of a magazine style, fashion shoot. They like the more edgy images and we made nice, creative images together. Here are just a few.

Then the beautiful couple was married on the porch at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan.

Cheers to Kristie and Todd on being in love forever!
