Congratulations to Nicole and Bill, and their beautiful family and friends! It was a glorious day filled with lots of laughter and happy tears.
The weatherperson was calling for the weather to clear at noon and for the Wedding day to be free of rain. For once they were right. The call was made around noon to have the Wedding outdoors at Boyne Mountain Beach House right on the water. It would turn out to be a perfect call and I am very happy that the Wedding ceremony remained outdoors.
Boyne Mountain Resort and Spa is beautiful, and the only way to have a Wedding there is to have it within the natural beauty. Everything was so green and lush because of the two days of rains. It was perfect.
We didn’t have a lot of time to make images after the Wedding but I think that we did a fantastic job with the short time that we had available. The wiffle ball game behind the Grand Lodge Wedding reception was really cool, fun, and unique too.
In all, I made over 3500 images on Nicole and Bill’s Wedding day. The Wedding Ceremony was at 4pm and the Wedding Reception began at 5:30pm. Boyne Mountain is a wonderful location and I highly recommend it to all brides and grooms for your Northern Michigan Destination Wedding.
The vendors for the day were, of course me, Paul Retherford Wedding Photography; DJ was Joe Ostervik with Mobile Rhythm DJ Service; Flowers by Kathy Beamer of KSB Design; Wedding Coordinator at Boyne is Kristina.
Look at the fabulous images that we made during Nicole and Bill’s Wedding, check out the slideshow below, and leave some comments if you feel inspired! Cheers.

Northern Michigan Wedding ~ St. Ignace, Michigan
A fabulous Northern Michigan Wedding indeed, the unity of Cassie and Mike in St. Ignace, Michigan. What a beautiful warm day in North Michigan on Lake Huron with a nice welcome breeze coming off of the lake. The water was sparkling and the bride and groom’s faces were gorgeous. They are such a wonderful couple with a lot of personality and beauty.
The parents of the bride surprised the couple with a rented Model T and driver/owner Les Nyland. They saw the fabulous auto at the Rudyard car show and asked Les if he would be interested in driving the bride and groom around town after the Wedding Ceremony. Les was honored and it made a perfect addition to our awesome day! Thank you Les for being so easy going and willing to allow us full use of your beautiful 1915 Model T.
The flowers were by Webers in St. Ignace and they were perfect. Sammys Mobile DJ Service from Engadine, Michigan did the DJing for the evening. The Wedding colors were royal blue and white. The first dance song was Love of My Life by Sammy Kershaw.
Here are some fabulous images from the day! Make sure to check out the slideshow at the bottom and also my Northern Michigan Wedding Photography website.

Brittany and Kevin were married at the Grand Valley State University Alumni house near Grand Rapids Michigan in Allendale, Michigan. The Alumni House is a fabulous location and Brittany and Kevin were married on the back porch area with a reception inside. The weather was fantastic and the family and friends were awesome. We had a perfect time together and we made fabulous images together.
