    Stephanie & Sean Married! Island House ~ Mackinac

    The fabulous Stephanie and Sean, all the way from Chicago, got Married on Mackinac Island, Michigan on May 28, 2011. It was a pleasure working with both of them, their family, and friends. st. anne church wedding mackinac island pictureThe morning did not look too promising for nice weather but mother nature shined down on us again on Mackinac Island and made for some beautiful weather and light. The Wedding Planner for the event was Carole Erbel of For The Love of Mackinac.  You can contact Carole for your Wedding Planning on Mackinac Island, Michigan at

    My day began at the Island House Hotel after the ladies had their hair and makeup professionally done by 7th Heaven Salon on Mackinac Island.  They all loved it and raved about the Salon experience. You can find 7th Heaven Salons at:

    The Wedding colors were navy and apple green so you will see the theme throughout the day.  Even the room matched their colors, and of course, I did too. mackinac island wedding island house hotel picture The Island House Hotel is a wonderful location on Mackinac Island just steps away from downtown and close to the marina on Main Street.  It is perfect for guests and family who haven’t been to Mackinac Island in Northern Michigan and want to explore the downtown shops, bars, and such. mackinac island wedding location close to town island house photo

    Horse drawn carriages transported guests from the Island House Hotel to the Wedding Ceremony location of St. Anne Church.  Even though it is only a couple blocks to St. Anne Church, they played it safe in case of inclement weather with carriage rentals. picture st. anne church mackinac island northern michigan The Wedding Ceremony at St. Anne’s Church was beautiful.  If you have a chance just walk into the church and view the beautiful windows, walls, and ceiling.  The alter is magnificent too! image of ste. anne's church mackinac island michiganYou can contact Ste.

    The Wedding favors were yummy Mackinac Island Fudge in a box with their names and Wedding date.  I suspect that most of the fudge was eaten prior to leaving the Wedding Reception.
