Michelle and Bailey grew up in neighboring towns, but it wasn’t until after college and law school that their paths finally crossed. Turns out, they shared more than a few things in common — including a love for Detroit making their engagement shoot in Detroit exactly the right choice.
We spent the afternoon creating portraits that felt like them. We started at the Colony Club, where they’ll be getting married next year, and then made our way to their apartment overlooking Capitol Park. The space was cozy, full of natural light, coffee cups, and a little champagne — the perfect backdrop for this engagement in Detroit.
What made the session special wasn’t just the location, but how natural it felt. It’s always inspiring to plan engagement sessions that fit who people are — not just where the photos will look pretty. With Michelle and Bailey, it was about documenting real connection, right in the heart of the city they call home.
