I was so excited about Alison & Eric’s Inn at Bay Harbor Wedding Photography! The day was inspired by the concept of bringing the West Coast to Northern Michigan. The design of the wedding included rattan accents, patio lights, and hues of blue to complement the water & scenery. I loved the tongue-in-cheek papery detail with sayings that played to their humor and fun-loving view on life.

Every detail and element of their wedding was planned out and perfectly executed by the Tableau Events team. The visual styling contributed to how people interacted. From the raw bar to champagne & tequila display, the guest’s food and drink was the facilitator to great conversation and meaningful connections.

Their wedding day was a warm, slightly-overcast August day (the perfect conditions for a wedding in August). It’s no secret that the weather in Northern Michigan changes moment by moment. There was no surprise that the skies parted perfectly at just the right time to provide the most gorgeous sunset!

From Alison & Eric:

“We love our love story, we love our families, we love our friends who have now become our family. I wanted this day to be about all of that. Life is hard sometimes and this is a moment we want to remember. Being around all the people we love and sharing dinner, our story, and celebrating such a special moment together. That’s why we love the thought of a large dinner party! We want stories being shared & laughed at over wine and dinner and then a night of smiles and dancing.”

“This is why we love the idea of the documentary style of photography to capture the moments not everyone sees. Where you can really see the happiness in a smile or the unconditional love in a hug. We want to capture those moments with the people we love. We know the day will fly by but these photos will bring us right back to when forever started for us.”

It’s always an honor to be a part of such a special day in the lives of any of our couples but Ali and Eric’s family and friends were on a whole other level of awesome! Their wedding will go down as one of the greats for us!
