Stout’s Island on Red Cedar Lake was the perfect place for Scott and Christie’s summer weekend wedding. This beautiful spot is near their beloved family cabin on Long Lake, which has so many wonderful memories. Their celebration of love, surrounded by their friends and family, is one they will remember forever.
Guests were invited to stay for the weekend for some fun events and were ferried to the island while enjoying gorgeous views of the lake and the unique historical Stout’s Island Lodge. The weather was hot and humid, and storm clouds were moving in from the west, but spirits were high in anticipation of the upcoming nuptials. The bride wore her grandmother’s ring and was glowing with happiness. Their hand-written vows were sweet and genuine, and the first kiss brought tears of joy.
The reception was a fun and wet affair. The rain came down in sheets, but everyone had a blast singing karaoke and dancing barefoot in the muddy grass. The staff at the Lodge were fantastic, and they made the evening run smoothly, despite the crazy weather. The thunder, lightning, and even a felled tree didn’t stop the happy couple from having the time of their lives. It was truly an exciting and extraordinary wedding!
Thank you to Christie and Scott for having me there to photograph your big day. Congratulations!
The ladies were pampered at the family cabin before heading to the Lodge.
