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 […]
Rebecca is one of those girls that you feel like you’ve known forever when you get to sit down and chat for the first time. By sit down and chat I mean we met up at my favorite wine bar, talked about how Kirk proposed, the dreams she had for her wedding, and of course […]
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 […]
Five minutes into meeting Chelsea I felt like we were girlfriends from college. Not only is she the easiest human to get along with – I posted some preview images on Instagram the night of hers and Nick’s Edsel and Eleanor Ford House engagement and I received (no joke) 20 messages of people that knew […]
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 […]
Emily and Ryan hold a special place in my heart; not only are they my clients, but Sean and I are actually Ryan’s clients! (He’s our project manager over at the farm.) I’ve had so much fun getting to know the different sides of these two. From them getting dolled up for their engagement session, […]
Engagement sessions are meant to tell a little portion of your story. Whenever couples have a location in mind that is meaningful to them I absolutely love it! We started David and Morgan’s engagement session at the lakeside property David’s parents will be building a home on this year. I love the idea that years from […]
When Nikki told me her and Adam wanted to do their engagement photos in a nature/outdoorsy setting I know the Edsel and Eleanore Ford House would be the perfect fit! Nikki’s baby blue dress and nude heels matched the May blooms perfectly. We won’t leave Adam out; see if you can find a photo of […]
