Mike and Janine: Wedding at Dewey Cannon Winery - Sneak Peak
When Mike and Janine first told me they would be having their wedding ceremony at Willow Harbor Vineyard in Michigan and their reception at Dewey Cannon Winery in Three Oaks, I got very excited. I knew we were going to be taking some wonderful wedding photographs. This is another of my sneak peeks during this extremely busy wedding photography season. So, just a sampling of photos today. Many more to come.
The Dewey Cannon Winery provided some very spacious rooms to get ready in. The shot below is the vintage mirror in the ladies section where our bride Janine got a last look before being picked up in a vintage Rolls Royce for the ceremony in the fields of the vineyard.
While the guys were across the hall smoking some cubans, I had the ladies crowd around the sofa in their room before sending off their friend.
The heat was around 95 degress with bright sun at this outdoor wedding. Our bride Janine did not skip a beat when walking down the aisle at Willow Harbor Wine Vineyard. All the guests stood up in reverence to the bride...
Janine's daughter was the flower girl and she was all playful smiles as the sun shined down upon her during the ceremony...
After the ceremony, all the guests got under a large tent and drank some much needed water. At this time, my assistant and I gathered up friends and family for some formal shots at the scenic vineyard....

Family and friends photos came first and then we sent them away to the reception. We closed out the formal photos with the happy couple alone as seen in the above shot. The bride and groom are seen underneath the gazebo they were married at just an hour earlier.
A nice meal was served at Dewey Cannon winery along with some great tasting Michigan wine. As the wedding party and guests ate dinner, my assistant and I began taking detail shots such as this Love Story cake topper...
One can't have a wedding reception at Dewey Cannon winery without the wedding rings perched atop some grapes. Might as well have that Willow Harbor wine as the background...
Mike and Janine closed out the night with a last dance in front of the wine barrels. Then it was off to Italy for their honeymoon!!
