Here is a quick overview of the Wedding of Kelley and Todd in St. Joseph, Michigan by Paul Retherford Wedding Photography.

The bride prepared for her wedding day at the Chestnut House Bed and Breakfast on Lakeshore Drive.  This place was really nice and classy.  Recommended highly!  We made some fun images there in a short period of time and the limo service by Luxury Limo, Phone 269-208-4449, picked the bride’s family up to head to the church.  Awesome limo, very clean, and the owner, Vergil,  is a great guy!  Recommended highly!

The wedding was located at St. Agnes in Sawyer, Michigan.  This church has really nice stained glass windows, long isle, and low ceilings.  The pastor there is a hoot and made Kelley and Todd feel at home. 

The flowers, wedding planning, and event setup were all done by Merry Me Events, Inc.  Cher is a great design consultant and she was extremely easy to work with during the day.  She went out of her way to help me out in any way she could.   I would definitely recommend her.  She made the day flow smoothly.

The reception took place at the St. Joseph River Yacht Club in St. Joseph, Michigan along the river.  This place was fantastic and they had split levels so that a cocktail hour and dance floor was split from the dinner floor.  I thought that this worked out wonderfully and we made a lot of fantastic images there.  The staff was all really nice and the bartenders were very knowledgable about the area and history of the architectural building.  This place is recommended for receptions smaller than 150.

Video was captured by a family member and the DJ was a family friend from Chicago named Spencer.  He was really good but didn’t have any cards on him for me to recommend.  If you can find him, he was great!

The day went very smooth and the decorations were stellar.  I give a lot of credit to Kelley for her planning and to Merry Me Events for putting everything together.  The autumn colors with halloween tones and decor really snapped and made for some wonderful backgrounds and images.
