A wedding at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, MI with Chad and Stacey

We were back at the Royal Park Hotel again today.  About 1/3 of our weddings are their this year which is fantastic because it is an amazing location.  Over the last year, we’ve become friends with Chad and Stacey which made this wedding a lot of fun.  They were very easy going and natural together.  One of the things they did which made the day go super smoothly was to see each other before the ceremony.  We were able to do all of their posed photos, bridal party photos, and family photos before the ceremony and there was still ample time to relax before everything got started.  Once the ceremony was done, all their pictures were finished so they could enjoy their cocktail hour which also gave us lots of opportunities to photograph the guests and details.
Once again, we got to work with Ryan Koral from Epic Motion.  Here’s a link to the love story he shot for Stacey and Chad.
Here are just a few of my favorites from today’s wedding:

It’s a safe bet that this reaction came after a “that’s what she said” joke:

This was shot in front of the Something Fabulous office.  They are a team of wedding coordinators that we just worked with a few weeks ago and they just happened to have a beautiful pink office right by where we were walking.

This photo was one of my favorites because Chad said many times throughout the day how blessed they are.  It was quite fitting that this was written on the inside of his ring:
