Frankfort Michigan Beach Wedding

Cheryl and Steve decided to have a Frankfort Michigan beach wedding!

They both love the outdoors and the area so they researched online and found Kristine and Simply Exquisite By the Bay.

Kristi set up the beach wedding and reception details and referred me :)

I met with Cheryl and Steve at their cottage in Bear Lake to go over the different options and then we had so much fun at their engagement session on the Manistee River.

It was the second wedding for them and they wanted to incorporate their families with their love of the outdoors.

The day started off with a fine mist but as you can see, that didn’t damper Cheryl and Steve’s joy at all.
