Nick + Ann | Walloon Lake Inn

Nick and Ann’s intimate wedding celebration took place in the beautiful Walloon Lake Inn. After the downpour had cleared, the sun returned, bringing with it a rainbow that stood out against the dark storm clouds.

Nick and Ann’s intimate wedding celebration took place in the beautiful Walloon Lake Inn. Ann got ready and dressed with her mother and bridesmaids at the Hotel Walloon before we took some bridal portraits down the hall against the wall of gilded mirrors. From there we made the short walk down the street to the Walloon Lake Inn where the rest of the festivities were to occur. With rain on the forecast, Nick and Ann said their vows on the front lawn under the shelter of a tent. And the rain did eventually come. After the downpour had cleared, the sun returned, bringing with it a rainbow that stood out against the dark storm clouds. Nick and Ann with their bridal party, made the walk back to Hotel Walloon for a breath of fresh air and some portraits by the water.

After dinner, everyone moved to the dance floor outside where sunset hues of pink and purple illuminated the sky behind them. Everything about Nick and Ann’s wedding day was beautiful and we loved being a part of telling their love story.

Marc and Isabel | Intimate Backyard Wedding

Flowing at the edge of the backyard was a sweet little creek, now almost overflowing because of the heavy rains from the night before. And just in the center of the creek, connected to the main yard by a little bridge, sat the sweetest little island. Here is where they gathered hand in hand, for their wedding ceremony to commit their lives to one another.

After a rainstorm the previous night, the drive out to Marc and Isabel's intimate backyard wedding was quite the adventure. Our little Honda Civic bravely made the journey through deeply flooded dirt roads leaving her mud-caked by the end of the night. But the drive was well worth it when we arrived at the beautiful property where Marc and Isabel were planning to say their vows. Flowing at the edge of the backyard was a sweet little creek, now almost overflowing because of the heavy rains from the night before. And just in the center of the creek, connected to the main yard by a little bridge, sat the sweetest little island. Here is where they gathered hand in hand, for their wedding ceremony to commit their lives to one another. They read their vows through teary eyes and were united as husband and wife before their closest family and friends. Marc and Isabel, it was an honor to be invited into such an intimate day and to celebrate and document the love you have for each other.
