Hello, my name is Paul Retherford

Welcome to my Mackinac Island Wedding Photography Blog. I am a full-time working Professional Photographer working on Mackinac Island Weddings. My style is a nice mix of Candid, Traditional, and Wedding Photojournalism. See why hundreds of Weddings Clients RAVE about Paul Retherford Wedding Photography.

Mackinac Island, Michigan is a fabulous location to be Married! There are no cars allowed on the island so walking, biking, and horse drawn carriage are the means of transportation. Life is slow paced and the island is beautiful! I work at all of the Mackinac Island Locations doing Weddings, Family Images, Pet Photography, Children, Senior Images, and more. Places like The Grand Hotel, Mission Point Resort, The Inn at Stonecliffe, The Island House, Iroquois Hotel, Chippewa Hotel, Little Stone Church, St. Anne's Catholic Church, Fort Mackinac, Historic Mission Church, and all Mackinac Island Wedding locations.

Mackinac Island Visitor Bureau Media Meeting Yesterday

Visiting Mackinac Island for Visitor Bureau Meeting

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.

Photography on Mackinac Island ~ Hotel Iroquois ~ Mission Point Resort

Hotel Iroquois Wedding ~ Mission Point Photo Session

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!
