Engagements

Christine + Joe

When two people are on different continents for a few months…and then have 3 days with each other before flying out again to start a new job…well, here are the results.  And Christine and Joe are just the most genuine people.  Enjoy these. Each photo makes me smile super hard.

Engagements

Logan + Brittany

Two strangers cross paths in a bar. Between a compliment, an interesting dare, and a tambourine, plans are made for their first date. As Logan wisely puts it, “the rest is the future!” The historic Henry Ford Estate was the perfect backdrop for Logan and Brittany’s engagement session. Enjoy this fun pair and Brittany’s adorable […]

Engagements

Miranda and Dave

Miranda and Dave are getting married this year in a far-off location on a tropical island in the Pacific….sounds pretty dreamy, right?  Well, that’s not really the story here–we got together in the balmy Detroit winter to celebrate who they are and highlight the downtown they love, we met up in Detroit and ran all around […]

Engagements

Amanda + Chris

Amanda and Chris are planning a spring wedding this year, and so we snuck out on a late fall day to shoot in Detroit.  The city is just so vibrant and fun. And who isn’t a sucker for outdoor hanging lights? Chris and Amanda are adorable together and they brought this super stylish guy with […]

Anne + Brian

Meet Cash. Just say hi since Anne and Brian love them. But really, the story isn’t about Cash at all. It’s about Anne and Brian. These two met working at summer camp. And they just have that sweetness about them which makes sense they might be a summer camp story. As far as all of […]

Nichole + Matt | City Engagement Session | Detroit, Michigan

[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text] It’s sort of that thing that you see when every little piece in the world comes together to make perfect. These two own a rocking small business in Midland….yes, my mid Michigan friends….you need to pop on out to Midland and check out Michigan Brew Supply.  So, when we tried to schedule […]

Engagements

Claire + Jake | Downtown Engagement Session | Detroit, Michigan

Sometimes fate takes you hundreds of miles from home and puts you right where you need to be to meet the person who is going to change your life. Jake is from Iowa and Claire is from Michigan. They met by chance, or maybe by design, when they both joined AmeriCorps to live in tents and help […]

Rachel & Curtis | Motor City Engagement Session

It’s November. In Michigan. And we were planning an engagement session in the city. There was a big part of me that envisioned snow.  But we were blessed with the most wonderful November weather that I could imagine. Oh, and then these two gorgeous people show up looking all smooth in that yellow peacoat and […]
