With a huge chunk of my weddings for this year being rescheduled, I started looking back on some of my favorite engagements (that should have been 2020 weddings). Emilie and Steven’s was one of the absolute best! We hopped around Detroit from the DIA to the streets downtown. When I was posting behind-the-scenes on Instagram […]

Is it so weird I wish I could have third-wheeled when Andrew proposed to Kayla?! Right before they were about to head to Disney for vacation, Kayla came home to a single pink rose on their porch and a path of rose petals leading out to their backyard. Outside, Andrew was in their gazebo playing […]

Two words: POWER PONY. We started Shreea and Yuvi’s engagement session on Belle Isle at the James Scott Memorial Fountain – which I’ve learned is not always on, but we got lucky Monday night haha! We made a pitstop at the casino before heading back into downtown. Shreea changed into a long black evening gown, […]

The most magically magnificent rainbowesque engagement session happened – and I got to photograph it. Can you guys tell I’m a little overly excited about this one? Molly and Andrew were so much fun exploring the murals in Eastern Market with me. The rainbow zebra mural is by far one of my favorites. Guys, how […]

I was like a kid in a candy store when the day finally came for Celeste and Tom’s downtown Detroit engagement shoot! Also, this says a lot because I have a serious problem with loving everything sweet, but that’s besides the point haha! I’m not kidding guys I felt like I’ve been loving on Celeste […]

Holly and Tommy spent the evening dancing seven stories up, on the rooftop of the historic Detroit Athletic Club. They both wore matching Shinola watches, a nod to their high class fashion sense and the company that was founded in Detroit. Holly’s pink gown flowed in the breeze and perfectly complimented the sunset views of […]

When I was editing Elise and Ryan’s Detroit spring engagement shoot my preschool niece, Jaclyn, walked up to my computer. She looked at the screen and said, “Wowww Sammie, that girl is so pretty. I mean she’s really pretty, and I like her fancy dress. Oh… and boys are weird.” I couldn’t agree more Jaclyn […]

After chatting over drinks in downtown Royal Oak and learning that Lauren works in fashion, you better bet I was soooo pumped to see what she had planned for hers and Todd’s engagement photos. I’m not joking her navy dress was such a stunner I would be wearing that baby around the house doing twirls […]

Give me all of the velvet dresses! Emily rocked this maroon dress for her engagement photos, and paired with Ryan’s navy suit they absolutely slayeddd. We ran around outside of the Grosse Pointe War Memorial for their winter engagement shoot, and Emily told me about her early days crushing on Ryan when they were in […]

Kirsten and Josh are hands down one of the sweetest couples I have ever met! I’ve known Kirsten for a little while before her and Josh were engaged, so as soon as she reached out about their 2019 Pine Knob Carriage House wedding I was basically jumping for joy!! They are absolutely those kind of […]
