Belle Isle engagement photographs in the city of Detroit provided by Kellie Saunders, a top Detroit wedding and engagement photographer. Dan, a popular local sports radio personality and Angelina, a doctor are a pair I'm so glad I met! They are fun, friendly and in love! When I find a couple with these qualities I feel that I hit a trifecta at the race track! We hit some of the favorite spots around the city and had some laughs and fun! My absolute favorite part of their session - and the part that showcases their personalities, was when we were by Scott Fountain on Belle Isle and an organized group of runners decided to run in front of my camera. Dan and Angelina thought it would be fun to just pick up and run a little with them. Just two fun people who are meant to be together! That's Dan and Angelina!

Birmingham, MI engagement photography around the city provided by Kellie Saunders, a top Detroit wedding and engagement photographer. Oh MY GOODNESS - you GUYS!!! I am in LOVE with this session. Natalie and Eddie met me for the first time at their engagement session and were a wee bit nervous when we first started. I went through my normal speech and as soon they warmed up and MAGIC happened! I loved Natalie's dress - super cute and Eddie was so dapper in his suit. Their chemistry was dynamic and they had so much FUN! I like to interact with my couples, take them to a different place so that I can capture authentic emotions - raw and beautiful. I would say this was a successful session, wouldn't you? My FAVORITE memory of this session was when we shot in my regular local Birmingham alley. I ended up screaming like a little girl when I saw something furry running our way. (Now come on, furry things live in all alley's, even Birmingham - lol). Natalie and Eddie looked at me and said - "Don't run, just take the picture". They are afraid of NOTHING. I just adore them!!! Congratulations Natalie and Eddie on your engagement. I simply cannot wait to celebrate with you on your wedding day!

Brighton, Michigan wedding photographs at the Oakpointe Country Club were provided by Kellie Saunders and her team of the very best wedding photographers in Michigan. Allison and Brett are just the most adorable couple! What a couple of great people with equally fantastic friends and family! Allison and Brett hired me over the phone so I didn't meet them until their engagement session. That happens sometimes, and I never know quite what kinds of personalities I'm going to find at the session. Well, I found two warm, friendly and very much in love people! That did not change on their wedding day. I met Allison at the the hotel for the standard getting ready images. We photographed dress, shoes, bridesmaids dancing (yes ladies - I have it all and it is funny!!! lol), and a couple of nervous tears. It was just a lovely day morning around. We headed over to Oak Pointe Country Club for the first look and we were afraid it would rain. The sky was starting to grey over a bit, so we were nervous. Lucky for us - the rain held out and Allison and Brett were able to have a really beautiful intimate first look. We went right into photos so they could enjoy the rest of their day. Now don't think for one second that because Allison and Brett had a first look they didn't reserve a few tears for their ceremony. Oak Pointe Country Club had a beautiful ceremony location and we really enjoyed shooting there. Allison's colors were navy blue and white with pastel flowers (blush pink and ivory). They were gorgeous and it looked so lovely. I especially loved her alter. Filled with flowers - just beautiful! Allison and their friends and families danced the night away and I couldn't be happier for them! Please join me in congratulating Allison and Brett and wishing them a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness! It was an honor to be there with you! Here are a few of my favorites from their wedding day.

After four rain cancellations - FINALLY - we were blessed with the most gorgeous day! I absolutely adore Molly and Tom. Easy going, funny, kind, considerate and they have a great dog!!! I don't remember exactly how Molly found me, but we are one friend removed in a few different circles. That's how I know they are my people! I don't usually pick people up from their house for engagement sessions, but when Molly suggested we shoot in Grosse Pointe, I was so excited to shoot somewhere new that I had to have them show me the town. I arrived at their house, gave their cute pooch some love, and we all jumped in my 9 year old Trailblazer for a tour of Grosse Pointe.  What a cute town! I have photographed a million times it seems at the War Memorial, but truthfully that's pretty much all I ever get to see other than a church or two on Jefferson. Molly and Tom met in school years ago so that's where we started our session. The light and location were beautiful which made the perfect recipe for lovely images.  Congratulations to Tom and Molly! I'm honored to be working with you and can't wait to meet all of your friends and families on your wedding day at the Detroit Athletic Club next year. (One of my favorite venues - yay!)

Birmingham, Michigan engagement photography around the city provided by Kellie Saunders, a top Detroit wedding and engagement photographer. Oh Kaitlyn and Justin! You guys!!! You don't know how much I loved this engagement session! They were more than adorable and add in that cute pooch and it equals rockin' images. Kaitlyn and Justin have dynamic chemistry and that really makes images come alive. When I'm working with couples I like to engage them in conversation and ask them to do things and say things to each other. It helps me learn about them as a couple, how they respond to each other and what kind of relationship they have. Sometimes it's completely romantic and intense. Sometimes it's goofy and fun. Sometimes it's a mix of everything. Kaitlyn and Justin were able to forget about me for a few moments and really let go. Take a look for yourself.  Congratulations Kaitlyn and Justin! Your fall wedding will be lovely and I absolutely cannot wait!
