Kelsey + Marc’s Elegant Detroit Engagement Session

December 2, 2024

We caught the last bit of summer as it started to turn into fall—and it was the perfect time for an elegant Detroit engagement session.

Marc and Kelsey are planning a beautiful spring wedding at Cherry Creek. Their vision is timeless and refined, so we wanted their engagement photos to reflect that same elegance.

A Perfect Evening in Midtown Detroit

For their session, we explored midtown Detroit. The classic architecture and urban charm made it the perfect setting. We spent time around the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Detroit Public Library—two iconic and stunning locations.

The weather could not have been better. Soft light and warm temperatures gave us the perfect evening. But even more than that, Marc and Kelsey showed up completely themselves—stylish, relaxed, and in sync.

Effortless Style and Genuine Moments

Their outfits were flawless. Every detail felt intentional, but never overdone. Marc and Kelsey have an easy, natural way about them. It made capturing their connection feel effortless.

One thing that stood out was the way Marc looked at Kelsey. Before the session, he told me, “On my wedding day, I just can’t wait to spend it with my wife.”

That same love and anticipation came through in every photo.

Why Midtown Is Perfect for an Elegant Detroit Engagement Session

If you’re planning your own engagement session in Detroit, midtown is a beautiful choice. Between the classic buildings, open spaces, and romantic city energy, it’s easy to create a look that’s elegant, timeless, and true to you.
