Royal Park Hotel summer black tie wedding provided by Kari Dawson, top-rated Metro Detroit wedding photographer, and her team.

What a stunning wedding day full of joy and laughter and blush pink. What more could a gal ask for? Chrissy and Gino’s story is almost ten years in the making and left their friends and family begging them to get married. And I’m not going to recommend you skip right down to the reception but Chrissy’s, now father-in-law, got right to the point with a public gift for their honeymoon. You’ll definitely know it when you spot it. Chrissy and her closest friends and family along with Gino and his closest mates were so friendly and welcoming. Gino’s groomsman definitely set up to entertain Elle as she shot their prep photos. Their family and extended families were kind as ever. I especially loved running into Kimberly + Christopher who were married last year and Cristina + Jason who are getting married this year. I love when my #kdptribe collides and I get to spend a work day with familiar faces and friends.

Thank you, Chrissy and Gino for being so warm and inviting. For sharing your love, your inner joy, and your story with me. I have thoroughly enjoyed every step of the way with you both and wish you all the happiness!! Hugs – Kari
