Nick + Amanda’s Engagement at the Detroit Athletic Club

February 26, 2024

Nick and Amanda’s engagement session at the Detroit Athletic Club was the perfect mix of Detroit energy and time together that felt easy and natural.

The DAC has this cool balance—historic architecture inside with sweeping staircases and polished details, and then you step out to the rooftop and the city skyline hits you. Those views are unforgettable and made some of the best photos from their session.

We spent time wandering the halls, finding quiet corners, and letting moments happen without forcing them. You can see how much these two love being around each other, and that’s what makes their photos feel real.

Nick and Amanda are planning their spring wedding at the Inn at Bay Harbor, but this Detroit session set the tone perfectly—classic, genuine, and full of excitement for what’s ahead.

If you’re looking for a spot that mixes history, city views, and a little bit of luxury, the Detroit Athletic Club is an excellent choice for an engagement session.
