Jake and I traveled across the state last weekend for Jeanine & Burgess’s beautiful (rainy) outdoor wedding by the lake. It rained off and on all day long, but that didn’t stop everyone from coming out to celebrate and, though we were soaked and our equipment got pretty wet (thank God for the umbrellas we had in the car!), we had a great time spending the day with such wonderful people.
As soon as we arrived at Jeanine’s cute little cabin, where the reception tent was set up, I knew I was going to love this wedding. There were so many little touches and they went with a nature theme, which I adored. Little rocks from the nearby beach were painted with each guests name as their place card. Wood painted signs lead to the wedding and reception and a piece of driftwood served as guest book, which they planned to display in their cabin after the wedding. Her mom put together the adorable centerpieces. Debbie at Enchanted Blooms in Oscoda put together gorgeous flowers. I loved it all!
Of course, it was pouring rain when it was time to head to the lighthouse for the ceremony. They opened up the lighthouse so the bride could wait inside. The guests were ushered in to the sounds of bagpipes.
Burgess is in the Air Force and he looked handsome in his dress blues. I love this shot of Jeanine looking up at him as he looks at the pastor. One of my favorites!
Once we were back at the cabin for the reception, Burgess changed out of his dress uniform and into a suit. When the rain stopped for a few minutes, I stole them away for some more pictures. Love all of these!
The reception was a lot of fun. Everyone was dry under the tent and enjoyed a delicious dinner by Rob and his team from the Au Sable Inn in Oscoda followed by yummy pies from Judy’s Famous Pies.
Their first dance was awesome and they worked hard on their own choreography. 
Congratulations, Jeanine & Burgess! I feel so blessed to have been a part of your wedding day. Can’t wait to share more pictures with you. Slideshow coming soon!
