When I became a wedding photographer back in 2012, I never could have imagined ending up here. "Here" as in having couples-turned-lifelong-friends, shooting hundreds of weddings at the most beautiful venues in Metro Detroit, and fueling my passion for travel by adventuring from coast to coast. It's such a dream and privilege to serve couples like you on a daily basis!
There’s something truly magical about capturing the love between two people, especially in the picturesque setting of Kensington Metropark. Megan and Peter’s engagement session was not just a shoot; it was a celebration of their upcoming journey together. As a Detroit-based photographer specializing in Kensington Metropark engagement sessions, I had the joy of documenting these sweet moments that unfolded amidst the natural beauty of the park.
Our session began with the charming backstory of how Megan and Peter met—thanks to Peter’s mom. During a visit to the salon where Megan works, she struck up a conversation with Megan and learned she was single. Seeing a perfect match for her son, she played cupid, and the rest, as they say, is history. We started our photo session on the boardwalk along the water, a place as serene as their story, reflecting the calm and certainty of their bond.
It’s not every day you get to photograph an engagement session for someone you’ve known all their life. Megan’s aunt, my best friend Josie, introduced us years ago, and seeing her now, ready to walk down the aisle, filled the day with joy and nostalgia. We chatted about everything from wedding plans to life’s little moments, making each click of the camera feel like part of a story I’ve been entwined in from the start.
As the sun began to set, we made our way to the lush fields near the horse barn. The golden hour light enveloped Megan and Peter, casting a warm glow that perfectly mirrored the warmth in their smiles. Capturing their silhouettes against the fiery sky, I couldn’t help but feel excited about the beautiful future awaiting them.
Engagement sessions like Megan and Peter’s are why I love what I do. They remind me that behind every photo is a story of love, dreams, and a lifetime of adventures to come. Their Kensington Metro Park engagement was not just about the stunning photos, but about the beautiful memories they will cherish forever. I am so excited for their San Marino Club wedding this fall!!
