History
Time seems to stand still on Mackinac Island not only because there are no cars, but also because there are two historic military forts and a handful of the oldest buildings in Michigan. Just by being here you’ll feel like you’re back in the past! Mackinac Island is home to many beautiful examples of Victorian architecture among the cottages and B&Bs that, in many cases, are well over 100 years old. The Island’s museums and reenactments by costumed interpreters also offer glimpses into the 19th-century lives of both soldiers and civilians.

The Tea Garden on the grounds of Grand Hotel was such a picturesque setting for Lindsay + Daniel's wedding ceremony.
An advantage of an outdoor wedding is that you don't need much decor...nature takes care of that for you! I would recommend checking out your venue's indoor setting as well. You want to make sure that you like it for your rain plan!

Lindsay + Daniel's outdoor wedding ceremony was full of emotion. While many brides hope for a bright and sunny wedding day, I actually like shooting on overcast days. The light is softer and more forgiving... leading to beautiful wedding photos!
