From New York City to Mackinac Island, Michigan

Competing with the Big Apple for atmosphere and the perfect backdrop for photography, Mackinac and Island Photo came through providing the once in a lifetime memories for Marie and Shilang who got married at Historic Mission Church as it was there love of history and the Island beauty they both fell in love with when selecting their venue.

After the wedding, the bridal party and husband and wife took off in carriages provided by Mackinac Island Carriage Tours for a windy wedding day. Marie’s hair was held perfectly in place by the floral headpiece.

The Cypress Room at Mission Point Resort was perfect place for 125 guests to enjoy a delicious full service dinner with lots of flowers and reception favors such as fudge from Joann’s Fudge.

Intimate Weddings

When a couple decides to share their day with just a select few people, it gives the wedding an intimate feeling. 

Andrei and Meaghan had their parents and siblings along for the lovely September day at Mission Point Resort. The gazebo looked beautiful with its late summer foliage bloom and the temperatures were in the mid 70's.  

After the lovely ceremony and fun photos as bubbles were blown, the white VVis-a-Vis carriage from Gough Carriages arrived and the couple took off for a 3 mile carriage ride with Island Photo photographers pedaling bikes along side.

Among many spots, a favorite is the the shoreline with the Mighty Mackinac Bridge, as the Straits of Mackinac glistened as they stepped out of their fairy-tale carriage.

Back at Mission Point Resort, the Colonial Room with its adjacent outdoor balcony was the perfect setting for a intimate private dinner with family and close friends.




Beauty of a Springtime Mackinac Island Wedding

A May wedding on Mackinac Island offers so many extra amenities that weddings later in the season don't always provide.  Early season lighting makes everything glow in a clean, bright kind of way.  Getting to the church on time is easier with fewer bicycles, carriages and walkers in your path!  Exchanging your vows at Ste Anne's Church, with over 240 years of weddings history is always a rather reverential experience- adding your wedding to the many couples who have come before you for eternity.  

Gathering family, friends and a lot of beautiful nieces and nephews, the weather on the Island couldn't have been nicer.  Sunshine and clear skies greeted the many guests who came from all over, many from the Lansing area as were Lisa and Ryan. 

A horse drawn carriage from Gough Carriages took the happy couple to the boardwalk, West Bluff, the marina and down Main Street Mackinac Island.  Photographers of Island Photo followed on bicycles, keeping up with the enthusiastic horses, all fresh from a winter of good hay and plenty of rest!  A reception dinner was held at the famous Pink Pony at the Chippewa Hotel, and photographs and celebration continued.
