Summer Stony Creek engagement photos at the Metro Park in Washington, Michigan provided by Kari Dawson, top-rated Metro Detroit Wedding and Engagement photographer.

I was so excited to meet Ambermarie and David in person for their summer Stony Creek engagement photos and equally as excited to meet their pup Samson! It was so great to also meet Ambermarie’s bestie Caitlyn; thank you for your help with Sammy!!
Ambermarie’s bestie is actually also the reason Ambermarie got to meet David. Caitlyn talked Amber into coming to a post performance meal with the other actors and actresses from the production. Amber almost bailed when Caitlyn offered to drive across town to pick Amber up and bring her to dinner. David sat across from Ambermarie for dinner and their connection began. Amber and David are both absolute besties to Caitlyn and her now fiancé spending countless hours together enjoying each others company over boardgames.
These two are naturals. Their connection is obvious without words. We had a lovely time chatting about their favorite games, how they spend most spare moments together along with a conspiracy theory or two. Insert Free Britney hashtag here. Can we also pause for a second so I can mention how insanely lovely Ambermarie’s skin is? There isn’t a wrinkle in site; her complexion is perfect and this hue of pink on her is perfect!!!
I absolutely cannot wait to see how you guys light up the space at the Iroquois club this December!!! Enjoy a peek at some of my favorite moments with you both!

Karli has been Kari’s creative partner for five years. Before every wedding, we visualize you as a couple, your venue, and your day, so we walk in prepared for a calm, intentional experience.
Kari is the creative director, and since she’s only human and can’t be everywhere at once, Karli closes the gaps. She shoots alongside Kari, keeps the day on schedule, carries your bouquet, fixes your veil, and is a real-life cheering squad.
That’s not even the best part. She’s also Kari’s daughter, which means we communicate without words. She anticipates what Kari needs before she asks, and together we’ve built a wedding-day rhythm you'll notice.

[…] Amber and David were introduced to each other at a high school theatre after party courtesy of Amber’s best friend and made of honor, Caitlyn. I knew they were Disney fans; after eight years of dating David proposed to Amber next to Cinderella’s castle, after the Happily Ever After fireworks show at Walt Disney World. In 2019 they bought their first home and together they share an exuberant puppy named Samson. You might remember Sammy from their engagement session. […]
