Castle Farms Wedding in Kings Great Hall | Destination

Months ago Nichole sent me back some Wedding information for her Wedding at Castle Farms and it said, “happy to have ya onboard the pink train of fun.”  Well, that is a perfect description of Nichole and Brian’s Wedding at Castle Farms in Kings Great Hall.  WOW!  Every bit of the day was planned out, and I must say beautifully too.

The day looked like it was going to be perfect for their outdoor Wedding.  We started around 1pm with images of the bride around Castle Farms.  If you have never been to Castle Farms it is a HUGE stone castle that has Weddings, Events, and Parties.  It is beautiful and is a fabulous background for any Wedding or Event.  I love capturing both the Ceremony and Reception on this location.  Life is good!

I started the day with some snippet, detail, and hanging dress images.

The Bride and her ladies took a bit of a tour with me around the grounds.  They were troopers since the temperature was only like 40 degrees.  It was cold, even I was having trouble with my fingers freezing with all the adrenaline pumping.  Here are some of the beautiful images we made around Castle Farms.

After the ladies I focused my attention on the dudes.  Brian and his guys were a cool bunch.  We had fun capturing a short session of images in the Kings Court.  This is the location the Wedding was supposed to take place before we got torrential rains 15 minutes to the Ceremony!  It was a big OH *%$#.  The Castle Farms crew worked hard and moved the Wedding Ceremony indoors to the Kings Great Hall location.  A bit cozy with the group that we had but it worked out just fine.

Here are some images of the studs…

And then the rains started.  I could not believe how perfect it was up to this point and there wasn’t supposed to be rain.   Got to love Michigan!

And then the fun began…  Nichole and Brian are married and they get to head outside and get their first images as bride and groom…IN THE SNOW!  Yes, it was snowing, and I loved the effect.   Check it out!

The snow was short lived, but the cold weather remained.  We kept the energy high and moved around to warm up a bit.  Here are some more images around the Castle Farms grounds.

Did I mention how beautiful the bride was and also how fabulous the Kings Great Hall looked in the pink colors.  Combined with the walls it just popped!

The Castle Farms Vendors and Staff for the Wedding

I need to mention the fabulous vendors from the Wedding.  First, let me talk about Emily Selph of Castle Farms who coordinated the Wedding throughout the long day with her baby to be.  She was awesome and very helpful and insightful.  Thank you Emily and hopefully we will work together again.

The flowers smelled AWESOME and looked even better.  Great job Flowers from Sky’s the Limit!!!  You had the BLING for Nichole and the colors that made the images POP!

The Cake was soooo COOL!  Nichole came up with the design and Hannah from All Cakes All Occasions built it perfectly!

Check out this fabulous cake!

The DJ kicked it all night long.  Tunes by T with DJ Pete Mayor at the controls rocked the Kings Great Hall until I couldn’t handle it anymore.:-)  Pete is a cool cat and fun to work with too.  Hope to see you again Pete!

The Officiant was Reverend Edwin G Remaly and it is always a pleasure working with him.  He is funny and fun!

And then there was this Photographer guy who brought everything together and wrote a nice blog about all of the Vendors ~ Paul Retherford Wedding Photography
