Check out the Elberta Historic Life Guard Station Wedding album that I just designed today. It was a glorious event and I enjoyed my time with Shelly and Mike. What a beautiful couple!
Wedding Historic Elberta Life Saving Station
Congratulations Shelly and Mike! The perfect Wedding of Shelly and Mike at the Elberta Life Saving Station on Betsie Lake which runs into Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan is within site of the Wedding Ceremony and Wedding Reception location. If you are looking for a West Michigan Wedding location you should give this beautiful location a visit. This was an old Coast Guard building that was restored and sits right on the water. It makes for a wonderful Wedding in perfect or inclement weather too. The doors are all unique and the goose neck lights are fantastic. They just refinished the wood floors again this year so the sheen is impressive.
In memory of Shelly’s mom she tossed a rose wreath into Betsie Lake in front of the Elberta Life Saving Station with the Wedding guests watching. It was a special moment.
The Wedding Ceremony and Reception were both Held at the Elberta Life Saving Station. It was an intimate Wedding with time between the Ceremony and Reception so we did a little photo shoot inbetween. We spent some time on the Elberta Lake Michigan beach, the Frankfort Lake Michigan beach, the Betsie Point Lighthouse, and a few other quick stops. It was fun and the weather was fantastic too.

Wilderness State Park and The Headlands day trip
Sunday we took a cruise to lower Michigan and checked out The Headlands and Wilderness State Park. Both places I have never seen. Both places are really cool. The shoreline along the Northwest of lower Michigan is unique.
