I met up with Gaby & Chad recently for their Downtown Detroit engagement session. I previously photographed Gaby’s friend Lisa’s wedding and was so excited when she reached out to me about photographing her wedding to Chad. Our original plan was to go to the fountain on Belle Isle for their engagement photos, but the Grand Prix had shut down access to it, so we ended up at one of my favorite spots, the Detroit Institute of Arts instead!

Amonduez was born and raised in Detroit and Andrea is a farm girl at heart, so it was only fitting for these two to bring both of their backgrounds together for their engagement session! We started with classic city portraits in downtown Detroit on a rooftop to show off the skyline and then in the Belt before heading over to Belle Isle to finish the session in front of a gorgeous countryesque weeping willow! 

I first met Maureen at a Jonas Brothers meet & greet (seriously, lol) when she was in line behind me. I turned around and asked her to take a photo of me with them & we became Facebook friends after. I was so excited a few months ago when she reached out to me about photographing her & Josh’s Dearborn Inn wedding next June!

I met up with Katie & John in Detroit last week to take their engagement photos! We were originally  planning on Belle Isle, but the location we wanted to used was blocked off for Grand Prix cleanup. I suggested doing Detroit Institute of Arts engagement photos and they were on board!

I used to work with Hannah at my last job and she sat in the desk right next to mine in our open office floor plan. We bonded over our love of mid century modern furniture and great design. Whenever photography would come up, she would tell me that she wanted me to photograph her wedding one day.
