You want a cool, unique Wedding location that is attached to Lake Michigan by Betsie Lake and used to house the old Coast Guard boats back in the day?  Now the Elberta Historic Life Saving Station is restored with historical items and has beautiful goose neck lights, wood floors, and awesome wood french doors that open to a deck overlooking Betsie Lake in Benzie County right next to Frankfort, Michigan.  You can have your Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Reception right at the Elberta Life Saving Station.  The Lake Michigan beach is a minute away and lodging is across the lake in Frankfort, Michigan, a couple mile drive.  Point Betsie Lighthouse is a 15 minute drive and affords beautiful views along Lake Michigan with lots of opportunity for creative and fashionable images.  The combination of the Elberta Life Saving Station, Lake Michigan, Frankfort, and Point Betsie make this Wedding location a perfect opportunity!  The Elberta Historic Life Saving station can be rented through the Elberta Chamber of Commerce at 231-352-7201.  Please visit my Elberta Life Saving Station Wedding Photography and website to inquire about my services.

Congratulations Shelly and Mike!  The perfect Wedding of Shelly and Mike at the Elberta Life Saving Station on Betsie Lake which runs into Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan is within site of the Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Reception location.  If you are looking for a West Michigan Wedding location you should give this beautiful location a visit.  This was an old Coast Guard building that was restored and sits right on the water.  It makes for a wonderful Wedding in perfect or inclement weather too.  The doors are all unique and the goose neck lights are fantastic.  They just refinished the wood floors again this year so the sheen is impressive.

In memory of Shelly’s mom she tossed a rose wreath into Betsie Lake in front of the Elberta Life Saving Station with the Wedding guests watching.  It was a special moment.

The Wedding Ceremony and Reception were both Held at the Elberta Life Saving Station.  It was an intimate Wedding with time between the Ceremony and Reception so we did a little photo shoot inbetween.  We spent some time on the Elberta Lake Michigan beach, the Frankfort Lake Michigan beach, the Betsie Point Lighthouse, and a few other quick stops.  It was fun and the weather was fantastic too.
