One of my favorite little photography spots that I don't frequent as often as I'd like (because Marquette has spoiled me with close proximity to anything I need and the gardens seem like they are forever away) is Carp River Garden in Negaunee. There is no shortage of plant and flower varieties to ogle, in addition to little waterfalls, hummingbirds and bees buzzing around to enjoy. It is the perfect place for a late afternoon picnic or walk with a significant other, but I have also heard throughout the years that it makes a wonderful backdrop for weddings. I considered the idea when the hubbs and I were planning our big day, but Marquette's finicky and sometimes cruel weather ultimately squashed any outdoor wedding dreams of mine. I simply wasn't brave enough. However, I had the opportunity yesterday to attend my first wedding at Carp River Garden, and lucky are the brave ones who shun Marquette's weather reputation as it truly was such a beautiful thing.
I woke up yesterday morning worried for the couple due to the weather forecast. But, if you live here.. you know the saying "If you don't like the weather in Marquette...wait 5 minutes." Light rain drizzled over the car on the drive over for the ceremony, but the sun decided to be gracious with ultimately perfect timing. The bride looked stunning and the groom smitten and happy. It was a beautiful ceremony with a beautiful backdrop. Now, I'm not one to go to Carp River Garden without my camera on hand... so yesterday was no exception. Congratulations Meagan and Josh! We are so happy for you two!
