Lauren & JJ got married!

On Easter weekend, Lauren & JJ got married at the Perry Hotel in Petoskey, Michigan. Even though this was a holiday weekend and a 4+ hour drive for their family and friends, they were joined by approximately 40 people for their special day. Since it was late March and Northern Michigan, of course there was still snow on the ground and it was very cold. But, their ceremony was held in front of one of the fireplaces in a lobby at the Perry Hotel; which made the perfect setting to this winter wedding!

Lauren & JJ wanted to do several pictures outside, so we put on our winter overcoats and headed outside! Actually we headed outside several times, because they wanted some pictures after the wedding outside the hotel under the hotel sign, some at sunset, some with the full moon, and then we had a couple ideas/places to get some pictures. Even with the snow, the wind coming in off the bay, and the cold temperatures they were able to smile for some beautiful pictures. We also did some pictures inside, because the Perry Hotel is an amazing location for a wedding!

We're posting this now, because we just finished their online proofing and thought we would share some of the pictures.
