Palazzo Grande Wedding Photography with Nina and Tony

Last month we had the immense pleasure of photographing the wedding of Nina and Tony! These two make a beautiful couple, and we really enjoyed getting to know them and their families. We started the day with Nina at her parents’ home where the morning was full of laughter, traditions, and of course – photos! She and her groom captured some stunning bride and groom portraits. We can’t wait for you to see their ceremony and reception venues. These two know how to have a wow factor! Palazzo Grande wedding photography is always so stunning – this space can be transformed to fit ANY color palette and style. Keep reading to take a look!

This stunning ceremony left us in awe. What a beautiful church! We love how involved the couple’s friends and family were in the ceremony. It made everything so meaningful and sweet.

Time to party! The Palazzo Grande was transformed into an extravagant pink wonderland. From an opulent floral backdrop to beautiful drapery and centerpieces, nothing was overlooked. We even snagged a photo of everyone together at the end of the night. What a fun wedding!!

Congratulations Nina and Tony! We wish you all the love and happiness in the world.

Pine Knob Carriage House Wedding Photography with Bobby and Lauren

This romantic August wedding was such a dream. On Saturday, August 11th, we prepared our gear to take some lovely Pine Knob Carriage House wedding photography, and it did not disappoint us. This carriage house is on a stunning golf course with rolling hills and darling gazebos.

We started our day with our beautiful bride, Lauren, as she prepped for the big day. Her pink bouquet perfectly matches her champagne colored shoes. The real show stopper is her trumpet-style strapless wedding gown. This dress has just enough drama and romance. What a truly beautiful bride!!

The best thing about Pine Knob Carriage House wedding photography is that the photo possibilities are endless. As you can see below, between the bridal party and bride and groom portraits, Pine Knob had it all. Old-world stonework, lush greenery, and ivy-covered walls. All eyes were on our bride and groom, though!

The string-lit ceremony was such a perfect touch for this couple. The sweet lace and whicker accents made for a soft-romantic feel, and you could see how happy these two were in every photo!

Their reception was just as sweet as the rest of the day. Their rustic touches followed suit. One of our favorite touches was their three-teir cake with a birch-bark finish. We love how their initials look carved right into the “tree”! These two definitely had one of the cutest first dances we’ve ever seen, and we couldn’t be happier for them!

Congratulations to Lauren and Bobby! We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness.

Indianwood Golf & Country Club Wedding Photography with Beth and Marty

In early August we had the pleasure of photographing this amazing couple at their Indianwood Country Club wedding reception. These two had actually already gotten married and were having a wedding reception for all their Michigan friends and family, and it was beautiful! Indianwood Golf & Country Club wedding photography always blows us away. The sweet old-world architecture and soft August light gave us some amazing bride and groom portraits!

How stunning is this bride, by the way?! Beth stole the show in her fitted beaded gown with a plunging neckline and open back. Talk about breathtaking!

Now it’s time for the party! Their reception decor perfectly complimented these two – and we loved their cupcake tower! The soft blues and pinks gave their room a romantic feel. Watching these two enjoy their night is definitely one of the reasons why we love what we do!

We wish you all the love and happiness in the world, Beth and Marty!

Meadow Brook Wedding Photography with Ahsan and Lexi

The only thing better than spending one whole day with our brides and grooms is getting to see them for MORE than one whole day! The wedding festivities for Ahsan and Lexi started at Rangoli Banquet Hall for their Baraat. This stunning event brought together friends and family, and was a beautiful way to kick off their wedding weekend. Not to steal away from their amazing Meadow Brook wedding photography, but these two looked AMAZING at this event. We were able to steal the happy couple away for a few minutes to get some photos of them together in their traditional outfits, and we’re so glad we did. This red & gold clad couple definitely stole the show.

It’s wedding day! Lexi and Ahsan booked suites at the beautiful Royal Park Hotel. Lexi looked like an angel as she slipped into her stunning lace and beaded gown and veil. Her romantic bridal look was complemented by her amazing florals. The purple hues with greenery were perfect for this summer day. We met Ahsan in the library (one of our favorite rooms there!) and grabbed some portraits of him as he was headed to the first look with his bride. We loved Lexi’s gift to him – a set of Harry Potter cufflinks that read “Always”. How cute! This couple actually incorporated many Harry Potter touches into their wedding, which we loved, because it was so them!

We walked around the stunning grounds and captured Meadow Brook wedding photography for the bride and groom. The day was a bit overcast, which actually provided perfect soft light, and we love every photo!

Lexi and Ahsan chose to have their Meadow Brook wedding ceremony at the Rock Garden. This location is located right in a lush garden, surrounded by trees. It’s the perfect place for a romantic outdoor ceremony. Lexi’s brother played the piano as her father walked her down the aisle, and even though it started to rain mid-ceremony, nothing could damper the moods of these two getting married!

Now onto our favorite part – the party! Walking into Lexi and Ahsan’s wedding reception was a dream. Not only does the Meadow Brook tent wow us every time, but the romantic touches of candles, greenery, and, of course, a Harry Potter cake topper, really set the mood. This reception could not have been possible without the other amazing vendors we worked with. Scroll to the bottom for a full list of their vendors!

Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day, Lexi and Ahsan! We wish you all the love and happiness in the world.

Royal Park Hotel Wedding Photography with David and Lauren

Our 2018 weddings are just blowing us out of the water! We returned to the lovely Royal Park Hotel for David and Lauren’s wedding late last month. It’s one of our favorite Metro Detroit wedding venues (read why we love it here!), and every time we photograph a wedding or event here, we love how the photos come out. Royal Park Hotel wedding photography is not only lovely and elegant, but the little touches that this venue provides as well as the beautiful grounds make it the perfect spot for a romantic wedding.

We started this warm spring day in Lauren’s bridal suite. She and her bridesmaids finished up getting ready, and our stunning bride slipped into her mermaid style lace dress and cathedral veil. Her entire bridal look was soft and romantic – and absolutely breathtaking! After their sweet first look, we took David and Lauren around the grounds of the hotel, taking photos of the two of them as we went. The weather felt more like July than May, but we were able to get some amazing portraits! We also took some photos with Lauren’s son; these three make an adorable family! One of our favorite parts of the day was seeing how well David got along with Lauren’s son – for a minute we thought we had gotten it wrong and he was David’s son! Either way, we loved how much David and Lauren involved him in the day, from the ceremony and vows, down to the first dance and cake cutting!

Take a look at some of these photos from the first part of the day!

It’s time to get married! The conservatory is one of our absolute favorite wedding ceremony venues. The glass walls and ceiling provide natural light, and the chandelier, fountain, and soft curtains make the room cozy and welcoming. These two had the sweetest ceremony and a beautiful huppah! All their decor choices made for a truly beautiful wedding ceremony.

As we move to the reception, the day only gets better. We can’t even describe how beautiful the ballroom was – just take a look at the photos! One thing we love about Royal Park Hotel Wedding photography is that the ballroom can transform into any vision. We have seen this very room be everything from hot pink, to an icy blue, to soft yellows. Lauren and David created a romantic wonderland with wild greenery, pastel florals, and gold touches lit by candlelight. Everything was beautifully done!
