This page is dedicated to St. John’s Resort weddings. These are highlights from weddings and receptions we have photographed here.
The St. John’s Resort is one of the more beautiful venues on the west side. It was once a monastery with a gorgeous chapel and grounds but was converted into one of the premiere locations for hosting a wedding celebration. It was formerly known as The Inn at St. John Plymouth MI.
Holding your wedding and reception at one beautiful location has many advantages. They also have a magnificent hotel. We love working at The Resort because we get to do what we do best and that is to produce ever-lasting memories of your wedding day. Because we have so much experience photographing a St. John’s Resort wedding, we know the grounds very well. Everywhere you look is another beautiful photo opportunity. We can slip away and find the hidden gems for you.

Some thoughts on St. John’s Resort and its wedding history.
We look forward to St. John’s Resort and its new ownership with the William Pulte Family Management. It seems like a bright new chapter in their history. It is worth considering the St John’s Resort heritage and taking some time to contemplate its past. Special Moments Photography photographed our first event at the monastery for the Catholic Church and a retreat center for its parishioners.
Our first event at St. John’s Resort when it was St. John’s of Plymouth…
The event we were photographing was the ordination of one of the church’s priests. His ordination Mass was held down in Monroe with a luncheon and get together for the flock at St John’s. The church had decided to begin using the property for wedding receptions and had opened up the facility for bookings. The first event was held in the gymnasium which later became the grand ballroom. They had put curtains up but not much more. The old walls and the old gymnasium look were still quite apparent. It was a little hard to believe what they had in mind for this room and it was beautiful to see what this old gymnasium became.
Wedding at Saints Mary and Joseph Chapel in Plymouth…
It’s fun to think back to some of these early events as the property evolved. The church poured a pretty heavy investment into the property and refurbished the old rooms into beautiful banquet rooms. An open courtyard in the center that was below ground was covered with a beautiful glass ceiling and exposed metal work. This inner courtyard became the atrium ballroom. Another beautiful example of what a good architect can do for a space. This transformation was absolutely amazing to watch in those early years. The Provincial Ballroom and the Mosaic Ballroom were in good shape and needed very little to convert them into beautiful banquet rooms. It was an amazing transition to see what the gymnasium and the courtyard cloister became.
Very little was done to the chapel at the time. It was always a beautiful holy refuge. The very first wedding we ever photographed in the chapel was back in 2001. It has been fun to watch the place evolve over the years.
St. John’s Resort preferred vendor list…
You may wonder since we have shot so many weddings at St John’s, why we recently withdrew from their preferred vendor list. They have recently gone through some fundamental changes with new ownership and we decided to withdraw for now. As a result, we no longer participate in their preferred vendor program.
