Stafford's Perry Hotel Wedding | Hillary + Patric's Celebration
Stafford’s Perry Hotel Wedding
Petoskey is a quaint bigger town located on the Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan. Hillary and Patric’s love for Northern Michigan led them to chose the Stafford’s Perry Hotel for their wedding celebration. They gathered their family and friends throughout life to celebrate this special occasion on a beautiful summer day in Petoskey, Michigan. The Perry Hotel was the perfect wedding venue for this celebration in honor of Hillary and Patric.
Oh man, was it a hot summer day, but oh, so beautiful. The ceremony and reception both had the nearby lake in view, and throughout the day, we got quite the show in the sky. Starting with white fluffy daytime clouds, filling in to be an overcast and gloomy evening, but opening up at the last second for a vibrant sunset, and then fading into darkness.
The magic continued as fireworks went off from the nearby pier. While this colorful array of fireworks was not planned, it was treasured as if it was. Some guests gathered to watch the display in excitement. While all that was happening, the dancing never stopped either.
Hillary and Patric visited with their loved ones in attendance, danced, drank, and were married at the Stafford’s Perry Hotel.
"Nicole did a beautiful job with our wedding. She was able to capture so many fleeting moments throughout that day that we didn't have a chance to notice on the day-of. Looking through the gallery feels like reliving the entire day through a tremendously rich lens. For example, seeing how she captured the candid reactions of my husband, me, and our guests at various points during the day makes our special day that much more meaningful. Nicole did an incredible job of photographing the natural beauty of our venue and even captured some footage using her drone! Nicole was professional and easy to work with and I would hire her again!" -Hillary W.
