Part 1 of Sarah + Rupert's fabulous Mackinac Island wedding. Part two of their day after photoshoot at the Grand Hotel is next!

They got married on one of those cold, rainy days last summer, but it was still fantastic. They held their wedding at the The Inn at Stonecliffe on Mackinac Island. An epic place for a wedding if you ask me. Their wedding was just featured on Style Me Pretty a few months back and you can view it here.



Dress: La Fluer by Ann Barge
Venue: Inn at Stonecliffe, Mackinac Island

Jessica...I'm in awe right now. I found your work entirely by accident, but couldn't have been more excited to do so. Evey shot is filled with emotion and passion.

Awesome!
