Saginaw Club Photography

Beautiful couple, family, and Wedding day in Saginaw, Michigan! Jenny and Dan are just a pleasure to work with. This Wedding is a lunch Wedding so most of the images are morning light. See the difference in the feel of the light? Saginaw Club Wedding Photography Saginaw Michigan Photographer Paul Retherford Photography.

The Saginaw Club in Saginaw, Michigan is a private members only club that originated in 1889. The wood craftsmanship is unbelievable. Every piece of wood on the interior is hand-made.

Talking to a woodworker at the Wedding, he was amazed at the spindle, ceiling, and wall wood designs.

I meet Jenny and Dan at the Montague Inn just down the street from the Saginaw Club.

Isn’t Jenny gorgeous! I adore the hair piece and the makeup by LC make-up artistry.

The floral bouquet by Gaudreau Florist is perfect too.

They are ready for their first look to begin.

The Montague Inn is a historic inn along the river with a HUGE yard and plot of land.

In addition, the old-growth trees are pretty amazing.

We make images around the Montague Inn and then on the way to the Saginaw Club.

The families all meet at the Saginaw Club.

All of the family images are made on the first floor prior to heading upstairs.

The posed photography is done prior to the beginning of the Wedding ceremony.

Saginaw Club Wedding ceremony

Reverend Jen Adams is the officiant for the Wedding ceremony.

Her ceremony is absolutely delightful.

She is so charismatic.

Although the Wedding ceremony location feels a bit tight, there is ample room for everyone.

The Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra plays string instruments for the Wedding ceremony.

Following the Wedding ceremony, everyone heads up to the second floor for cocktail hour.

The reception location is another example of the historic venue. The long room with a big bar on one end and a wood floor throughout works perfectly for Weddings.

There is an elevator to transport people or a large staircase to walk up.

The ballroom has a round room in the corner and a little knockout stage area where the bride and groom sat in the middle.

There are toasts, dancing, singing, and feasting.

Did I mention that this is a lunch Wedding too.

It is absolutely stunning Wedding that is simple but elegant.

Here is a small selection of images from the eight hours that I am with them. Enjoy!
