A few weeks ago I had the great pleasure to photograph Sarah and Rich’s wedding in Escanaba, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula. It turned out to be a fantastic wedding day!
One of the things that I like most about photographing destination weddings is the ever changing location. For me, a new location is like exploring a new cave, there are so many possibilities…. The first thing I do is spend some time exploring the area; if there is a downtown area I go check it out, I always find an alley or building to photograph against to add that city look. Escanaba Michigan is a very small town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan; this does not stop it from having a plethora of areas to explore and photograph in.
The fact that this city is on the water is just one more amazing thing about it! After the wedding ceremony we were able to go over to the beach and have some fun. I find that the best smiles are once the ceremony is done, the jitters are gone and the bride, groom and the bridal party knows that from now on, the get to relax.
Sarah and Rich’s wedding in Escanaba Michigan was great! The weather was perfect, the bride and groom glowed and this St. Paul photographer loves destination weddings.
