Fall engagement session downtown Detroit. Detroit, Michigan engagement photography at the Detroit Institute of Arts and Belle Isle provided by Kari Dawson.
Melinda has a way with words and her initial email caught my attention when she described her story with Brian. She wrote, “It was love at first smell. We met in college at U of M and I was forever trying to get his attention while he was wearing noise canceling headphones. So I told him he smelled. And apparently that’s how we fell in love. We have been long distance for three years so our wedding is a love story and a coming home story. It’s also a next chapter of our lives story as he starts his masters in business at U of M and I start residency as fresh minted MD.” Melinda describes Brian as patient and enjoys surprising her. Sophomore year Brian asked Melinda out on their first date and years later, after admittance to the masters program, he took Melinda back on campus and proposed near the same spot he originally asked her on their first date.
These two are adorably smitten. I had a blast shooting in the city Melinda calls home. I can’t wait for your June wedding at the RattleSnake Club!

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.
