Welcome to my Mackinac Island Wedding Photography Blog. I am a full-time working Professional Photographer working on Mackinac Island Weddings.

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 Wedding at Hotel Iroquois on the Beach

August 16, 2010

Get Married at Hotel Iroquois on Mackinac Island, MI

Hotel Iroquois on the beach

Just a short walk from all of the Mackinac Island ferries is a Wedding location on Mackinac Island called Hotel Iroquois on the beach. You can elope to Mackinac Island, get married right on the water, in a nice landscaped lawn, and then have a reception at a beautiful restaurant with windows that wrap all the way around the building and provide tons of light.

Elise and Thomas did just that last week. They came up to Mackinac Island from their home in Tennessee and brought family with them to get married on an Mackinac Island. There were twelve total family members that attended the Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Reception at the Carriage House at the Hotel Iroquois. The clouds were rolling through but the weather held off long enough for them.

The Wedding Vendors for the Hotel Iroquois Wedding on Mackinac Island, Michigan in Northern Michigan were:

Webers Floral and Gift ~ Wedding Flowers

Weddings 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!

Photography on Mackinac Island ~ Hotel Iroquois ~ Mission Point Resort

September 10, 2009

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.
