I'm a wedding photographer in the Mid Michigan area. I had the pleasure of working a wedding here early this season and enjoyed the experience! They were so accommodating to the couple who had to move their ceremony inside due to weather. And it went beautifully! I loved the look and how spacious the getting ready room was. And the newest remodels look absolutely stunning! I hope to be invited back for another wedding soon!
