2017 Royal Park Hotel Gingerbread Train

For the last several years, we’ve attended a great event at the Royal Park Hotel – the Gingerbread Train Event! Every year, they outdo themselves in the most spectacular way. This event is our favorite way to kick off the holiday season! Some years they’ve done amazing gingerbread houses, some years it’s trains, but every year, it’s amazing.

We’ve photographed the event every year but here are just a few of our favorite Gingerbread events from the past:

Mark is the head chef and mastermind of these amazing creations – congrats on another great year, Mark!

Chef Mark and his team work tirelessly to make this happen and their efforts were well worth it!!

We love this hotel, and we love their partnership with the Salvation Army. Congratulations on another great event, and thank you for letting us be a part of it!

Event Photography at the Royal Park Hotel

As I’m sure you know by now, we have a great working relationship with the wonderful Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, Michigan. We’ve done a lot of wedding photography and event photography at this beautiful hotel and venue. Last week, the Royal Park hosted a joint event with Crittenton, and of course, the event was a success. The Royal Park definitely knows how to put on an event, and this one was no different. From the ballroom, to the decor, to the hors d’oeuvres, it really played off of the medical theme. The staff even wore scrubs! Not only was the event beautiful, but it was important. This hotel excels in hospitality, and they are partnering with Crittenton in giving the hospital some tips on how to improve their own hospitality and make each patient’s stay as enjoyable as possible. We were so happy to provide the event photography for this event; take a look at these photo highlights!

This event began with a panel discussion. Representatives from the Royal Park and Crittenton answered questions and talked about an assortment of topics.

Next, the event moved to the main hallway, where it was clear that it was a true Royal Park event. The themed food, the ambulance food truck, and wait staff dressed in scrubs were all true to theme.

Thank you to the Royal Park for once again inviting us back to provide event photography for you.

Our favorite photos and photo sessions from 2016

2016 was a very busy year for Arising Images and Acre 6. We photographed landscapes, high school seniors, weddings, families, volleyball, home interiors, commercial businesses, head shots, and lots more. Trying to come up with a list of top favorite photos is extremely difficult. From the 148 jobs that we photographed, there were HUNDREDS of favorite photographs and memories from the year but we narrowed it down to our top 75. These are our favorites for various reasons; some of them because they were amazing photos, some were awesome people, or some sparked incredible memories for us. It was really difficult to leave people out but we had to cut back as even 75 is probably too many.
Here they are in no particular order.

Viviano Flowers shoot on our farm

We’ve had a great relationship with Viviano Flowers for years, and collaborating on projects with them always produces great results. They needed some new photographs for marketing material, so we loved the opportunity to do that for them. We did the shoot at our farm property in Orion, Michigan. The shoot was centered around Prom, and will be used in advertising their corsages and boutonnieres. Of course, we jumped at the chance to put our Arising Models into good use! Kyra and Savannah showed up with enthusiasm and of course, looking beautiful.

The guys were giving them a run for their money in their sharp tuxes!

We need to give a special, huge thanks to the guy you see below, Brian, who jumped in the day of the shoot, because one of our male models came down with strep! Talk about a curveball. But he jumped right in not knowing anyone, and I think you’ll agree with us: he’s a natural.

Viviano always does an amazing job with their flower arrangements, and this time was no different. They easily complimented the formal wear and gave their outfits the beautiful pop that everyone expects from their corsage or boutonniere.

Royal Park Hotel Gingerbread House 2014

This morning was one of our favorite events to get us in the Christmas spirit! It was the annual ribbon cutting for the Royal Park Hotel‘s amazing gingerbread house. Every year we have the privilege of photographing this fun event and it’s never a disappointment! The gingerbread house was spectacular as always. We love watching the children’s faces light up when they see it!

If you aren’t aware, the Royal Park’s chef designs and builds an enormous gingerbread house ever year. While that is amazing in itself, this is also a great partnership with the Salvation Army. People can purchase a brick on the gingerbread house and the proceeds go directly to the Salvation Army. The Royal Park isn’t just an amazing hotel, venue and restaurant, but it’s also a great part of the Rochester community. We love seeing all the ways they contribute and give back to their community. If you’re in the area, stop by to check out this year’s gingerbread house! Make sure you have enough time to stop by the restaurant and grab a bite to eat while you’re there. Trust us when we guarantee you won’t be disappointed!
