Kimberly & Dave’s wedding starting at the Royal Park Hotel then off to Cafe Cortina Farmington Hills MI

This was an absolutely gorgeous micro wedding for Kimberly and Dave. We started out at the Royal Park hotel in Rochester Michigan for our preliminary photos. The couple was waiting for us in the library and ready to go. They were on time and that always makes for a smooth start. 

We spent about a half an hour with the couple in the hallways and around the property. We also took some photos with their children. What a lovely spot for photos. The couple was staying at the Royal Park so this was a natural for them to want to get some pictures there. We also spent some time around the grounds outside. 

We took a few detail shots of the room setup and details. They were in the small fireplace room for the reception so the room was set and ready. The service was held on the back patio in front of the fireplace and they probably had about a dozen guests. This qualifies as a true micro wedding.

After the service we took a few photos of the couple on the beautiful pathways around Cafe Cortina before they went into the restaurant for dinner. We were not hired to stay for the party. There were going to have dinner but no dancing or music. We stay until the couple sat down for dinner and that wrapped up this Micro Wedding Package. Our focus was the beauty around the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester and then the service at Cafe Cortina in Farmington Hills.

Micro weddings are becoming more and more popular. The expense of holding an immense wedding can be daunting. Often second weddings are small and intimate with just the core people in their orbit that they would like to share this experience with. Hiring us to photograph for them means we get to capture those key moments but focus more on the couple and the immediate family. We really enjoy micro weddings and especially at these two locations.
