The Inn at Stonecliffe Wedding Location
Congratulations Jennifer and Garret! Garret just finished the Port Huron to Mackinac sailboat race and his boat finished first in his class! He had a perfect race and a perfect day to get Married at The Inn at Stonecliffe on Mackinac Island, Michigan!
The ceremony was small with Jennifer, Garret, and their two children but there was a lot of love on Sunset Rock last night! The ceremony was officiated by Tom Marx from Mackinac Island and the flowers were from Weber’s Floral. I really loved her flower bouquet, the flowers were just so vibrant!
So, I spent one hour with the couple at The Inn at Stonecliffe and we made amazing images! I worked my mojo and we had a great time once again at Stonecliffe. Check out a few of the images and then sit back and watch the Wedding slideshow that I put together for them too!
Life is good on Mackinac Island…

Plan your Michigan Wedding on the Beach!
Sarah and Dennis had a fabulous Wedding on Lake Michigan at North Shore Park in Ferrysburg, Michigan just north of Grand Haven, Michigan. The event was set up by My Barefoot Wedding and owner Brian Paul. The tropical setup really added a special touch to the Michigan Beach Wedding and made you feel like you had traveled somewhere far away.
The day brought a mix of clouds but we managed to dodge the rain all day long. It was beautiful light and we made fabulous images together. Sarah and Dennis are both stunning people. They were both very easy to photograph.
Here are a selection of images from their Wedding day. They will get around 2000 images from their beach wedding! You can check out their Wedding Website at http://www.printsbypaul.com/sarahdennis

Northern Michigan Photographer Family Senior Photo
The bulk of my career is Wedding Photography. I would say that 90-95% of my photography is Weddings. That is why I say the I “specialize” in Weddings. Weddings are what I do and what I love. However, I do get requests for other photography from time to time like this beautiful Senior Photography Session and Family Session. The concepts are the same but how you handle the subjects are a bit different.
This family will have over 1000 images to enjoy for the rest of their lives! How cool is that! How often do you wish that you had professional family and portraits of your children. How about when you go on vacation, do you ever think about getting a photo session when your family is together and having fun? I shoot a number of families on Mackinac Island and you would not believe the transformation when the family walks onto the island and they are officially on vacation. The images are fantastic and natural!
Here are some of the images from the family and senior photography shoot. We managed to dodge the rain and had a good time doing it too!
