A Michigan Summer Wedding on Lake Michigan Beach

This Michigan summer wedding on Lake Michigan was a dream come true at Camp Geneva. From the indoor church ceremony to the bridal party and golden hour on the beach to the reception at a local bar.

Getting Ready Suites



There are many renovated cabins to choose from at the camp to start your big day. The cabins are spacious for you and your girls and all the guys to spread out and have room to get ready. There is a beautiful balcony to spend time with you and your mom before walking down the aisle. The groom and groomsmen decided to get ready in a room off of the chapel.

Endless Photo Opportunities



Camp Geneva truly shines with views of Lake Michigan in its picturesque spots. I loved the beautiful white porch Lawrence and Kia had their first look on. Lawrence and Kia went to a secret garden after their first look to soak in alone time before the ceremony. Grand staircase lead the bridal party to the beach for bridal party photos. Lawrence and Kia adventured to the gravel pits of Holland to take golden hour photos after dinner.
