Elegant Engagement Session in Midtown Detroit | Marc + Kelsey

December 2, 2024

As summer slipped into fall, Marc and Kelsey chose the perfect moment for their Detroit engagement session—warm air, soft golden light, and the city quietly glowing around them.

These two are planning a timeless spring wedding at Cherry Creek, and they wanted their engagement photos to reflect that same elegance. Midtown Detroit set the scene, with its blend of classic architecture and urban charm.

We wandered around the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Detroit Public Library, two iconic backdrops that added depth and history to the session. But what really made it special was Marc and Kelsey themselves: effortlessly stylish, relaxed, and completely in sync.

Every detail of their look felt intentional but never overdone. The way Marc looked at Kelsey throughout the evening said everything. Before the session, he told me, “On my wedding day, I just can’t wait to spend it with my wife.” That quiet love and anticipation showed in every single frame.

If you’re planning an engagement session in Detroit, Midtown is a perfect choice. It offers a timeless city backdrop, soft natural light, and space to simply be yourselves, refined, real, and full of love.
