A fun summer downtown Detroit engagement session spent strolling the streets of downtown at the couple’s favorite spaces in Detroit.

I met Kelcie and Noelle for the first time in person when we met downtown for their Detroit engagement session. This engagement session is the second of it’s kind where we worked together to created a walkable tour around downtown. Instead of focusing on a single location, the stroll downtown made it so much fun to walk, chat, and get to know each other. Not to mention the magic that is a Detroit engagement session.

Noelle and Kelcie met while they were both living in New York City. Kelcie’s grad program brought them to Michigan and even though she has to commute to Ann Arbor a few days each week, the choice to live downtown has proven to be worth it. I am so excited to bump into them during future NFL Lions games! They are huge sports fans. They watch it all! College, pro teams, football, basketball, you name it – they love it.

Kelcie and Noelle, I truly had the very best time frolicking around Detroit with you both. I absolutely cannot wait until your Planterra wedding in May!!

You will feel calm on one of the most overwhelming days of your life. You will forget the camera was there. You will find yourself holding photographs of moments you were not fully aware were happening when they did.

You will feel like they belong there. Not as vendors. As people who already understood what the day meant before they ever walked through the door.

A mother and daughter who show up to your wedding day as two leads with one vision.
