One of my favorite places to go for senior portrait sessions, besides Colorado!, is Mackinac Island! I love this place for its gorgeous flowers and landscaping, smells of fudge, sounds of horse’s hooves clip-clopping down the street and all of the feels of being transported back in time. Mackinac Island is filled with charm and […]

For Sarah and Derek their wedding ceremony was held at the Presque Isle Lodge near Grand Lake with a reception at the Fletcher Street Depot in Alpena, Michigan.
