Downtown Rochester, MI Engagement Photos with Ryan and Erin

This afternoon we had the chance to get to know Ryan and Erin who’s wedding we’re shooting next year. Engagement sessions are always a great chance to get to know one another and help form a relationship before showing up at their wedding. Ryan and Erin are very relaxed and natural together which made their photo session comfortable for everyone.
Here’s a few pics that I like a lot:

Tent Reception in South Rockwood, MI with Russ and Delicia

If you follow our blog, you’ve seen a lot of Russ and Delicia over the last few months between their engagement photos and then their New York wedding photos.
Last night Delicia’s sister Raquel threw them an amazing reception in MI for the family and friends that didn’t get to make it to New York.

The Reception was at Raquel’s beautiful country home in South Rockwood, MI.

There was an amazing team of vendors that worked tirelessly to make this event possible and I wanted to give some of them the recognition they deserve!!
Kathy Byrum and her team from Dream Wedding and Event Planners kept everything organized.
Outdoor Event Services provided an executive bathroom trailer which is basically a really high end traveling bathroom unit which makes you feel like you’re in a bathroom at a fancy hotel and it’s a great addition to any outdoor wedding or other event.
Ralph from RC DJ and Video played some great music to keep people on the dance floor.
Shutterbooth was there and they are a crowd favorite at every wedding.
Joe’s Gourmet Catering provided absolutely incredible meals that rivaled the food at some of the nicest venues in town.
Dave “The Lighting Guy” provided lights for around the tent, pond, and the whole property. He does amazing work!

Head shots for the amazing staff at the Royal Park Hotel

This afternoon we met up with Sue Keels who is the Director of Catering at the Royal Park Hotel which is one of the most incredible wedding venues in Michigan. She set up a photo shoot with us to take some head shots of her and her team. We photograph a lot of high end weddings at the Royal Park so it was nice to be able to go there and take these pictures for them.
We’re super excited to head back there soon and enjoy the best Sunday brunch in town!!

Here’s a pic of Sue:
