River Walk

A personal favorite of mine! Anywhere near the water you will get the most dreamy photos anytime of the day. Kelsey & Zach’s engagement session ended a little after sunset allowing the blues to shine through at blue hour. Where Matt & Tessa’s session was in the middle of the day allowing for striking glittering waters.

Detroit is not limited to these locations! I would love to photograph at places like the Henry Ford Museum, inside bars around Detroit (be prepared for fees), as well as some other fun spots I’ve collected along the way! Looking to have your engagement captured!? Let’s talk!
