Thursday I had the opportunity to capture the intimate Wedding of Michele and Paul at Mission Point Resort Gazebo on Mackinac Island, Michigan in Northern Michigan.  Destination Weddings on Mackinac Island are beautiful!  Come on up to Mackinac Island to have your Wedding on an island with no motorized vehicles, just horses, bikes, and walking.

Wedding at Gazebo at Mission Point Resort

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.

Here are the Mackinac Island Wedding Vendors:

Shelly and Dennis are a prime example of a couple in LOVE!  The Gazebo at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island, Michigan was the location of their beautiful Wedding.  It was just a perfect sunny day on Mackinac Island in Northern Michigan.

The Wedding Ceremony at the Gazebo at Mission Point was very beautiful and short.  It was just the two of them coming from Illinois for a fabulous elopement.  Everyone cried in attendance and the couple was just full of life.  After the ceremony a bottle of Champagne was delivered to the Ceremony location for a couples toast.

The Horse Drawn Carriage from Arrow Head Carriage Tours, Phone 906.847.6112, arrived right on time and pulled onto the lawn to pick up the bride and groom.  We had a wonderful cruise around Mackinac Island.  The downtown was electric with applause for the couple and we captured every moment of their time in the spotlight.  The white Wedding carriage with Arrow Head is a beauty and makes for a fabulous prop in the images.

Mackinac Island Wedding Flowers

The flowers at Mission Point Resort Gazebo Wedding were awesome and they were designed by Weber’s Floral and Gift on Mackinac Island, Michigan.  I would recommend Weber’s Flowers for any event.  They really do a great job.  Shelly’s favorite color is Red and she has beautiful, fresh red roses in both the Wedding bouquet and the boutinerre.

Last week I had two shoots on Mackinac Island.  The first was an Anniversary shoot where the couple wore their Wedding clothes and we traveled from Mission Point Resort around Mackinac Island and back to the Resort to finish up images, and the second shoot was a outdoor Wedding on Mackinac Island at Hotel Iroquois on the Beach.  Both shoots were awesome weather and we had a grand time working on the island.

Here are some images from both shoots and then slideshows of both of the sessions.

Enjoy some Mackinac Island Photography!
