Castle Summer Wedding Queens Courtyard

Ashley and Andrew live in Florida. They are originally from Michigan. Both of them loved the idea of getting married in a castle in Northern Michigan.

Last year we met in Petoskey, Michigan for their Winter Engagement Photography. Here is the link to the Engagement Photos http://paulretherford.net/engagement-photography-northern-michigan-petoskey-downtown-evening-night-winter-ashley-andrew

The Wedding day was a mix of clouds and blue sky throughout.

Ashley looked absolutely beautiful in her Maria’s Bridal Couture Wedding dress. She had a blue heart, something blue, sewn in the back part of her Wedding dress that was a section of the handkerchief from her father.

Ashley and Andrew did the meeting behind the door at Castle Farms. I wanted to make it a little interesting so I had a groomsman pretend he was Ashley and hold Andrew’s hand while Ashley was talking to him. Everyone was trying their hardest not to laugh out loud as Andrew was not noticing the prank at first. Andrew finally realized that the hand he was holding was not Ashley’s and Ashley stepped in. They had a card and some gift to exchange. Ashley had some boudoir photography done and made some prints for Andrew. Needless to say Andrew was surprised!

The Castle Farms Wedding went very smoothly, as always. Reverend Glad is always a nice addition to the Wedding day.

The wedding bouquet flowers looked gorgeous by Thyme Hill Designs.

The Wedding colors were Black, White, and Gold.

Ashley and Andrew danced to “Never Stop” by Safety Suit.

DJ Ryan Rousseau kept the dance floor hopping all night long.

It was a beautiful Wedding and Ashley and Andrew had the time of their lives.
