Northern Michigan has so many wonderful wedding venues and Bowers Harbor is one of our favorites. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bowers Harbor Inn which was once a private home is a wonderful restaurant that also has its own brewery on site. This summer the Inn opened its new reception hall on the grounds. The Inn has a beautiful front lawn with a low stone wall that overlooks the water and is shaded by a multitude of tall trees. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ali, who is from Texas, met Eric who is a native of Michigan while attending Michigan State University. After being a couple for 5 years, Eric took Ali for a visit to his grandmother’s house. It was a place that Eric always enjoyed visiting to as a child. It was here on a stone wall that he proposed to Ali. Ali said yes and a year later she posed by another stone wall as a beautiful bride. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Eric’s family in Michigan and Ali’s family spread out over the country, the couple decided on a destination wedding in Northern Michigan. The bride knew she wanted an outdoor wedding near the water so she and her mother took a trip to Northern Michigan to scout out different locations for a wedding. When they got to Bowers Harbor Inn she fell in love with it and knew from the first sight, “this is where I want my wedding.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In late July this past summer the guests gathered on the wooded front lawn while the ladies put on their finishing touches upstairs in the Inn. When the time for the ceremony finally arrived, Ali and her father made a grand entrance down the walkway to join Eric. The couple exchanged vows with the shimmering waters of Bowers Harbor in background.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a special touch, Ali’s brother became ordained so he could perform the ceremony. For both Ali and Eric, it made it much more personal to have someone they were close to perform the ceremony rather than a stranger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed cocktails and hor d’ oeuvres on the Inns front lawn patio area. Soon they were ready to move to Bowers Harbor’s lovely new reception hall located on the back lawn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ali comment on how helpful the staff was at bowers harbor. “They were all so great. Everything was just perfect! ” The weather was awesome. I could not have asked for more”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to Ali and Eric for allowing us to be a part of their special day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wedding at Bowers Harbor Inn, Traverse City&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi5.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi6.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi7.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traverse City Wedding&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi8.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi9.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi11.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traverse City Wedding Reception&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi12.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi13.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi14.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi15.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.traversecityweddings.com/blogphotos/bhi16.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wedding Photography by &lt;a href="http://www.purcellphoto.com"&gt;Purcell Photography&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8860514064301619098-2373047345865392535?l=traversecityweddings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://traversecityweddings.blogspot.com/feeds/2373047345865392535/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8860514064301619098&amp;postID=2373047345865392535' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8860514064301619098/posts/default/2373047345865392535'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8860514064301619098/posts/default/2373047345865392535'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://traversecityweddings.blogspot.com/2010/02/wedding-at-bowers-harbor-inn.html' title='Wedding at Bowers Harbor Inn'/><author><name>Cathy &amp;amp;

Most importantly, thank you for working with us to accomodate all the preferences we had and for fitting our time schedule. You truly cared about all the different aspects that were important to us, and we are extremely grateful for that.  We have been recommending that our friends get married in Northern Michigan just so that they can hire you and also get such a special and professionaly done video as we did.  It was really nice meeting you and thanks for all your work!      From Illinois&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8860514064301619098-2919756722121396024?l=traversecityweddings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8860514064301619098/posts/default/2919756722121396024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8860514064301619098/posts/default/2919756722121396024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://traversecityweddings.blogspot.com/2009/08/bay-area-video-wins-1st-place-best.html' title='Bay Area Video wins 1st place - Best Videographer in Northern Michigan'/><author><name>Traverse City Weddings</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08475298203081848312</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LOY_aOCutsI/SpcviBl4KFI/AAAAAAAAACQ/9cFmhwbi8w0/s72-c/alistimage.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860514064301619098.post-7903793282742874537</id><published>2009-04-28T11:47:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-04-28T11:51:33.041-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Fall Wedding at Castle Farms</title><content type='html'>We all know that weddings can be stressful.  That is why having your wedding at a venue such as Castle Farms near Charlevoix is such a great stress reliever.  A bride as a variety of options for the ceremony to ensure that her wedding vision is fulfilled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purcellphoto.com"&gt;Purcell Photography's &lt;/a&gt;bride Angela on October 18th choose right the beginning to hold her fall wedding ceremony indoors in the Kings Great Hall.  Thus, any worry about the weather was eliminated.  It did turn out to be a pleasant day, so we were still able to use the garden areas around the Castle for many of our photos as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Angela and Brian were a fantastic couple to work with and it  was a pleasure to be a part of their special day.  Angela had a bubbly personality and Brian easy going and always grinning.  We also need to say something about the parents.  You could tell how very happy and excited they all were about the union of these two kids.  Indeed, after the ceremony the parents walked down the aisle and once in the lobby had one great big group hug!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wedding guests enjoyed a lovley reception held in the kings great Roon.  With delicious food, great music, and good company, it was easy to see that everyone was having a great time at the Castle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purcellphoto.com"&gt;Purcell Photography&lt;/a&gt;

It is so nice to be at the Resort because of all the different photo opportunities. We took full advantage of this before and after the ceremony going around to all our favorite spots. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Pavillion which is a covered area behind the Resort was where the ceremony was held and the officiant was the groom's brother. It certainly added a nice touch because he was able to personalize the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a gorgeous evening and after dinner our couple agreed we should take more pictures around the resort, thus we got some great shots during the "golden time" just prior to sunset.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laura and Luke were great to work with and ended up with many awesome photos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.purcellphoto.com"&gt;Traverse City Wedding Photographer&lt;/a&gt;

Mike and Renee had chosen the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa to host their wedding and &lt;a href="http://www.purcellphoto.com"&gt;Purcell Photography&lt;/a&gt; to record their memories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our couple choose our Storybook package which features unlimited time for photo coverage which we love because we get to experience the entire event and have a front row seat as the day unfolds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We first caught up to our lovely bride at the Spa, as she and the ladies of the wedding were getting their hair done and enjoyed a little bit of pampering before the day got too hectic. The men, of course, were out playing golf!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We love working at the resort. It offers us so many wonderful options for memorable photos. We were able to take some spectacular bridal portraits of Renee overlooking the greens of the golf course with the tower of the resort in the background.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike and Renee choose the resorts beach setting, The Shores, located on the east arm of Grand Traverse Bay, for their outdoor ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back at the main resort the reception was held in The Michigan Room. After dinner as the sun began to set, we took our couple out for some fun shots with their wedding party. We then took advantage of the beautiful evening to get romantic shots of Mike and Renee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should note that once the celebration started, it STARTED! It is suffice to say the Renee and Mike and their friends take their partying seriously...unfortunately for our BLOG we had to save the best reception photos for our couple's Flush Mount album.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone had a great time and so did we.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We at &lt;a href="http://www.purcellphoto.com"&gt;Purcell Photography&lt;/a&gt; wish the very best to our wonderful couple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/SMpvNZfnOLI/AAAAAAAAAg8/ZMAV1d_BXn4/s1600-h/norus1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Our bride, however, was taking it all in stride as  it was going to take more than a little rain to ruin her special day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pink umbrellas were perfect and useful props for the all the ladies as pictures were taken. And, as it always seem to happen, we finish taking photos on our dry porch, the sky began to lighten, the clouds parted and blue sky appreared on the horizon.  Volunteers were rounded up and the towel brigade went to work, chairs were dryed and guests were seated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As our lovely bride walked down the isle she did it in sunshine and loving gaze of her husband to be.  Later, the celebration continued at the Belvedere Club...our best wishes to Betsy &amp; Jonah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cathy, &lt;a href="http://www.purcellphoto.com"&gt;Purcell Photography&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/SDF3CZCvKvI/AAAAAAAAAd0/nVSdEshT9iI/s1600-h/photo109.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

We then told the reporter that we had just photographed a spectacular wedding the past Saturday and had many great photos. We sent a photo to them that we thought captured the ambiance of the day and they loved it!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fall is a perfect time to get married in Northern Michigan. With great weather and beautiful fall colors, the 55th Hole, nestled among the turning trees at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa made a perfect ceremony site. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diane and Andy were a great couple to spend the day with...they did not stop smiling the whole day and seemed to enjoy every minute of their celebration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diane chose fall colors through out her wedding, carrying a beautiful bouquet of deep maroon,reds and orange leafs. Fall fruits such as apples and baby pumpkins decorated the Michigan Ballroom at the resort where the reception was held. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andy and Dianne had a truly memorable day.

Castle Farms is a very unique venue for a wedding. It was originally built as a dairy farm, and has been many things over the years, even a concert venue for such groups as Aerosmith and Ozzy Osborne. Today, after extensive renovations, it offers couples the opportunity to get married at a medival castle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dan and Crystal came from southern Michigan to have such a wedding. The beautiful Knights Courtyard was the setting for the outside ceremony. With help from her attendants, big and small, the bride prepared for her ceremony. The couple exchanged their vows under a stone arch that leads to one of the many towers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guests were treated to a cocktail hour on the courtyard lawn and we used this area for shots of our bride and groom and many of the wedding guests. The reception was held in the adjacent Knights Hall. With its stone work and high timbers, you never lose the feeling of being in a castle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After enjoying dinner the guests helped the couple celebrate their marriage with their first dance, then everyone enjoyed an evening of dancing and entertainment at the Castle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As always, our very best to Crystal and Dan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~ Cathy, Purcell Photography &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/Ro7laKEl1XI/AAAAAAAAATo/mFCXPaSu33E/s1600-h/078.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5084253266890839410" style="DISPLAY: block;

This rustic setting was the site that Shannon and Brent choose for their beach wedding on June 16th. The weather was just ideal for a beach wedding. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guests followed a sandy path through the trees, down to the beach where the couple had set up their ceremony site. With a quartet playing the bride and her father walked down an aisle lined with seashells to meet her groom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the ceremony, guests traveled to the Historic Bay View Hotel which was built in 1886.  It is located in the Historic Landmark District of Petosky. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This location provided us with beautiful views of Little Traverse Bay and was a perfect setting for photos of family and our wedding party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After dinner we escorted the bride and groom from the banquet room to take shots as the sun started to set. This gave the bride and groom a much needed break, and us an opportunity for some great photos.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The rest of the evening was devoted to just having lots of fun. One of the highlights of the night was the father-daughter dance where dad showed he could still cut a rug!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our best to Shannon and Brent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~~Cathy, Purcell Photography Blogmaster&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RoQG16El1CI/AAAAAAAAARA/PGTvXG3QcJc/s1600-h/photo087.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

The True Value of Video</title><content type='html'>We had something like this happen to us a few years ago, when a family lost their daughter, sister, friend, grand daughter, today that wedding video is worth so much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This touched me so much, I got permission to reprint &amp; share it. This was from a few weeks ago in its entirety.   The company that shared this operates on the East Coast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You never know who you will impact or when. Let me tell you a true story. Four years ago I sent an unsolicited email to a potential bride. I know I was wrong and I don't do that sort of thing now - but that was then. The bride calls me to ask me to remove her from my email list - I was super friendly and apologetic - we actually talked for over an hour we clicked so well. I talked her into coming in - she booked us to cover her wedding. At the time I was also toying with photography and she volunteered to be my guinea pig and photograph her wedding as well. She loved all we did for her that day. We grew closer, her and her husband and me and mine became close - dinner, dancing, movies, bowling - friend stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two years later we asked them to be a part of our bridal party when Rob and I renewed our wedding vows and we had a big ole wedding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year they had their first child a baby girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I get a call from my friends husband telling me that his wife is dying. She has about a week to ten days he says. They didn't tell anybody (friends) because she didn't want her friends to feel sorry for her and to watch her wither away - it all started about 3 months ago. Today I am told she asked for us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her husband in tears says "we value your friendship so much. I wouldn't trade it for the world. But it's what you did for us on our wedding day being our videographers that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Because of you, my daughter will see and know her mother. Because of the video I thought I could not afford, Olivia will hear her mothers voice. Her memories will be forged with your video".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My God, I lost it. Sometimes we get caught up in the business of being in business. Climbing ladders that don't matter, or trying to be at the top. Today I realized that what we do with video cannot be be measured with a price tag or a plaque on the wall. It's value is in the legacy's we protect everyday - and we don't even realize it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My heart is breaking. But I know that what I did four years ago for a woman who didn't even want me emailing her, is the priceless gift she gave to her child.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8860514064301619098-4622196155204823927?l=traversecityweddings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://traversecityweddings.blogspot.com/feeds/4622196155204823927/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8860514064301619098&amp;postID=4622196155204823927' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8860514064301619098/posts/default/4622196155204823927'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8860514064301619098/posts/default/4622196155204823927'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://traversecityweddings.blogspot.com/2007/06/true-story-true-value-of-video.html' title='True Story . . .

While Winter Wonderland Weddings are a magical event, the fact remains that the wedding business in Northern Michigan drops off dramatically come late fall and into the following winter months.  Therefore, Events By The Bay has GONE TROPICAL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are thrilled to introduce Events By The Bay - Florida!  Please visit our web site - &lt;a href="http://www.eventsbythebay.com/"&gt;www.eventsbythebay.com&lt;/a&gt; - for details on our Sweet and Simple Ceremony Package offered on the sugar sand beaches of Anna Maria Island and at a variety of lakeside and tropical garden settings in the Orlando area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND....to kick things off in style, Events By The Bay presents an exclusive once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be married at exclusive Bella Collina near Orlando on 07/07/07 - the luckiest date of the century!

Our couple, Kristy and Joe, planned a wedding that was rich in local history and landmarks. The ceremony was at St. Joseph's Mapleton Catholic Church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the ceremony the wedding party traveled to the Old Mission Lighthouse photos. This landmark, with its unique beach setting, is one of our favorite sites to visit when we have a wedding on the peninsula.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The couple chose another historical landmark for their reception, Bowers Harbor Inn. Guests enjoyed a cocktail hour on the front patio area that incorporated wonderful views of the bay and the beautiful grounds .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bride and Groom received their guests in the backyard of the Inn under a large , beautifully decorated tent. Beneath the tent, guests were protected from the rain that finally came that evening. Everyone gathered around the couple for the cutting of their very impressive cake. Later our Groom and his groomsmen serenaded our lovely bride to music provided by &lt;a href="http://www.eventsbythebay.com"&gt;Aardvark Sound&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;~~Cathy,Purcell Photography BlogMaster&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RmV-YlP2vjI/AAAAAAAAAIo/gxO7yZXfT6k/s1600-h/photo0009.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5072599516083306034" style="DISPLAY: block;

The wedding took place on the &lt;a href="http://www.tallshipsailing.com/"&gt;Tall Ship Manitou&lt;/a&gt; set asail on West Grand Traverse Bay. The ceremony was followed by a reception at the &lt;a href="http://www.park-place-hotel.com/"&gt;Park Place Hotel&lt;/a&gt; in downtown Traverse City. The weather couldn't have been nicer, mid 70's and lots of sunshine. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photos by &lt;a href="http://www.purcellphoto.com"&gt;Purcell Photography&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is a Highlight Trailer Produced by &lt;a href="http://www.michiganvideo.com"&gt;Bay Area Video&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://www.jeffdyson.com/mediaplayer.swf" width="320" height="240" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashvars="image=http://www.traversecityweddings.com/7-4image.jpg&amp;amp;file=http://www.traversecityweddings.com/ke.flv&amp;showicons=true&amp;amp;showdigits=true&amp;amp;autostart=false"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8860514064301619098-6846376630576607728?l=traversecityweddings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://traversecityweddings.blogspot.com/feeds/6846376630576607728/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8860514064301619098&amp;postID=6846376630576607728' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8860514064301619098/posts/default/6846376630576607728'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8860514064301619098/posts/default/6846376630576607728'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://traversecityweddings.blogspot.com/2007/06/happy-anniversary-kyle-emily.html' title='Happy Anniversary Kyle &amp; Emily!'/><author><name>Traverse City Weddings</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08475298203081848312</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_LOY_aOCutsI/RmSL8oUCdzI/AAAAAAAAABU/ntrVAr-bZUQ/s72-c/IMAG008.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860514064301619098.post-7379108327650310284</id><published>2007-06-03T12:43:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-06-04T16:52:37.525-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Rain on your wedding day = good luck!!</title><content type='html'>On Saturday May 19th it was a hot, humid day and &lt;a href="http://www.purcellphoto.com"&gt;Purcell Photography&lt;/a&gt; traveled to &lt;strong&gt;Frog Pond Village&lt;/strong&gt; in Interlochen, MI. for Kristy and Todd's wedding. They say that it is good luck to have rain on your wedding day and we did have a few sprinkles, however the weather improved as the day progressed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were able to take advantage of the beautiful woodland setting for photos of the Groom and his groomsmen, as well as the Bride and her attendants before the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All was well until the guests started to find their seats and sprinkles began to appear. Not to worry, Karen Snyder of Frog Pond Village was there in a minute with large white umbrellas. By time the couple made their return trip down the aisle as husband and wife, the rain had stopped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the ceremony, the Bride and Groom along with their wedding party, took a horse drawn carriage from &lt;strong&gt;Abraham's Carriage Service&lt;/strong&gt; down to Ellis Lake for more photographs. "Joy" looked very regal as she transported our couple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a toast by best man, the guests enjoyed a wonderful meal, the couple had their first dance and,of course, cut their wedding cake.&lt;br /&gt;~~Cathy, Purcell Photography&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RmAMr4-XIvI/AAAAAAAAAHY/Z4vXATZLeEU/s1600-h/photo114.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Although the day was drizzly, breezy and cold, our bride and groom did not seem to notice. They had other things on their mind. Love conquers all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The couple had two of their best friends serve as their attendants and witnesses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christy and Heath came to Traverse City to get married with beach pictures in mind. After the ceremony, we moved down to the waters edge where the groom did not need any coaching to cuddle up to his lovely bride to keep her warm. It was &lt;a href="http://www.purcellphoto.com"&gt;Purcell Photography's&lt;/a&gt; honor to be part of Christy and Heath's special day.

This is the first time I have seen this and thought it was such a nice touch, I wanted to share it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its pretty common that the 2nd dance of the night is to honor the bridal party members. Since all the attendants were married, they had each one dance with their spouse instead of the traditional person who they walked down the aisle with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of picking the one song to have the dance to, they found out what each couple danced to at their own wedding, the song they 1st danced to. They had the dj put together a special mix that played about :30 of each song, usually around the chorus. What a great idea and how special was that! Now I am not sure what you would do if some weren't married, but it worked well in this case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thinking to myself during this dance, it would of been even better if they would of had all the couples start in a circle lined up around the edges of the dance floor. Then when it was that couples song, they would dance in the middle.

We also were working with Traverse City's premier videographers, &lt;a href="http://michiganvideo.com"&gt;Bay Area Video&lt;/a&gt;.   The Bay Area Video team was excellent to work with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The marriage was an outside ceremony on the lawn in front of the gazebo. The colors were a chocolate brown and sky blue combination. This theme was carried through out the ceremony and reception. We were impressed with all the details. From the coffee bean candle centerpieces for the cocktail tables, to the blue candies on the candy buffet table, everything was perfect. The Bride and Groom wanted a fun and relaxed feeing for themselves and their guests. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adirondack chairs were an important part of their wedding theme.  The wedding cake, the place card holders, napkin holders were all part that idea. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congratulations to Jenny and Andy   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~~Cathy, of &lt;a href="http://www.purcellphoto.com"&gt;Purcell Photography &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RkhpTyB2BNI/AAAAAAAAAFY/wxvbLTIayPc/s1600-h/aj_01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Bay Area Video</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Last year we began offering the &lt;em&gt;SDE&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Same Day Edit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;), which is a cinematic highlight of your wedding day that is edited through out the day of your wedding and shown at your reception on the big screen. The same day edit creates what we call the WOW factor. Guests are truly amazed when they see a video of your wedding that just took place a few hours ago artistically edited right in front of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a same day edit, you get to share those cherished moments your guests didn't get to see. Starting with the bride &amp;amp; bridesmaids at the salon, the guys on the golf course, the bridal party getting ready and the moments leading right up to and including the ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the same day edit became a popular package, we realized it did more then create amazement. Not only do we get to share those dramatic, emotional, and funny moments the guests don't see, we get to share the day with the guests that didn't make it to the ceremony and arrived only for the reception. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Realizing the highlight is completed on the day of the wedding, it then can be shared with anyone you want to the following day. We created a site called &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ourweddingpodcast.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, which allows you to share it with friends, realitives, and coworkers who were not at the wedding. HINT: make sure the boss is at lunch when you call the entire office over to your computer at work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;These master pieces run about 10 minutes and are in addition to the full version dvd of the entire day.

Harbor Springs was the location that Tom and Laura chose for their small, intimate wedding. The ceremony was attended by the people who were most important in their lives...their parents. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ceremony was performed by a very good friend of the couple which also added to their special day. Even though the day was a bit blustery, our Bride and Groom wanted at least some water pictures. Fortunately, the wind gave us a break and we got some great bay shots. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, it was on to Harbor Springs famous eatery, the New York Restaurant, for their celebration dinner. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We wish Laura &amp; Tom many years of happiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---Cathy, Associate Photographer for &lt;a href="http://purcellphoto.com"&gt;Purcell Photography&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RkMCwiB2AwI/AAAAAAAAABw/CDb_wRfWW1A/s1600-h/may5_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Matt for engagement photos. It was a beautiful day and we were able to take advantage of some of our great sites here in Traverse City. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah and Matt are a friendly, outgoing and fun loving couple. They were so relaxed and ready to have a good time with their photos, which made our job easy. They are both naturals in front of the camera. Sarah knew how to "work " the camera, and Matt has a great smile. Also, Sarah and Matt also had some of their own ideas for poses and settings and this made their photos very much a representation of who they are as a couple. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We looking forward to their June 9th wedding at the Haggerty Center. It should be a wonderful day with Fantastic photos to prove it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RkDDbyB2AvI/AAAAAAAAABo/P6uwijywRJk/s1600-h/engage4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RkDDbyB2AvI/AAAAAAAAABo/P6uwijywRJk/s320/engage4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062260863217828594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RkDDWiB2AuI/AAAAAAAAABg/N0P_juvqicQ/s1600-h/engage3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RkDDWiB2AuI/AAAAAAAAABg/N0P_juvqicQ/s320/engage3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062260773023515362" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RkDDSSB2AtI/AAAAAAAAABY/cDbf-qGhb9w/s1600-h/engage2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RkDDSSB2AtI/AAAAAAAAABY/cDbf-qGhb9w/s320/engage2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062260700009071314" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RkDDJCB2AsI/AAAAAAAAABQ/7Orz6id9akA/s1600-h/engage1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RkDDJCB2AsI/AAAAAAAAABQ/7Orz6id9akA/s320/engage1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5062260541095281346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8860514064301619098-2914259777862555593?l=traversecityweddings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://traversecityweddings.blogspot.com/feeds/2914259777862555593/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8860514064301619098&amp;postID=2914259777862555593' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8860514064301619098/posts/default/2914259777862555593'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8860514064301619098/posts/default/2914259777862555593'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://traversecityweddings.blogspot.com/2007/05/engagement-photos-by-purcell.html' title='Engagement Photos by Purcell Photography'/><author><name>Cathy &amp;amp; Dennis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05582209653777602126</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_8HcFxRZ8dMw/RkDDbyB2AvI/AAAAAAAAABo/P6uwijywRJk/s72-c/engage4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860514064301619098.post-3555286391969850384</id><published>2007-05-01T19:00:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-05-05T17:07:46.327-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome to our Blog!</title><content type='html'>Welcome!
