Pond Hill Farm Private Wedding

North of Harbor Springs in Northern Michigan is a farm that is open to the public called Pond Hill Farm.  They sell produce, serve lunches and some dinners, have a brewery, a winery, and lots of outdoor games and activities for all.  I am lucky enough to photograph a Wedding with A.R. Pontius flower shop and Emily Blanche Events ~ Pond Hill Farm Wedding Photography Paul Retherford.

The Client is private and has allowed me to show this selection of images to you.  Let me tell you how beautiful the Bride and Groom are…WOW!

Pond Hill Farm at the Trout Pond is the location of the Wedding Ceremony.  There is a tent set up for the bridesmaids to hide prior to the ceremony.

The ceremony location overlooks the trout pond at Pond Hill Farm.  You can see from the aerial the overall setup.

A gorgeous arch is custom designed by the Grandfather of the Bride, and then elegantly decorated by Jamie from A.R. Pontius flower shop in Harbor Springs.

Sunflowers are the flowers of choice.  The contrast with the greens and yellows really pop.

Throughout the day there is guitar music playing at the ceremony and reception.

Pond Hill Farm is so beautiful by itself.  When you add hundreds of gorgeous floral arrangements Pond Hill Farm becomes amazing!

The bridesmaids all enter the Wedding ceremony through a trail along the trout pond edge.  It is lined with birch trees so the contrast is really cool.

The Bride and Groom are married by a friend of the Groom.  Wonderful ceremony in the outdoors at Pond Hill Farm.

Following the ceremony, the guests either walk or are transported to the cocktail hour under the tent by the main barn.

Beers and wine from Pond Hill Farm are served along with light appetizers prior to dinner.

The Wedding Party boards the wagon behind the tractor for a ride around the property.  We stop at a couple locations to make some gorgeous images.  Unfortunately, I am unable to show you the beautiful wildflower field where a majority of the images are made.

Arriving to cheers at the reception tent, the guests and Wedding Party all enter the dining reception lodge for dinner.

Jimmie from Pond Hill Farm gives a little overview of the farm and then they eat.

In addition, the food is locally sourced and some comes directly from the farm.

Pulled pork sandwiches are so good!

Immediately following dinner, dancing begins outdoors under the tent.

A.R. Pontius designs this gorgeous hanging floral wreath that is the highlight of the white tent interior.

The night ends with a incredible sunset from atop the hill, a bonfire, and dancing the night away.

Here is a very small selection of the images from Pond Hill Farm Wedding Photography Paul Retherford.
