Carriages
carriage route is usually determined
by your pickup location, reserved
time, weather conditions, wind, and
time of day but usually your photog-
rapher and the driver determine the
best route and work together to make
sure your ride is perfect. Carriages
typically ride through the downtown
area, passing by views of the Mackinac
Bridge, lighthouses, and shoreline,
through the woods and atop both east
and west bluffs.
Many couples include their wed-
ding party or parents on carriages
too, so consider including a second
or third touring style carriage to join
you. Having the bridal party or par-
ents join you creates a memorable
