Lisa and Matt booked Mulberry & Sage Photography earlier this year to be their upcoming Shelby Gardens Wedding Photography team, and in meeting with them, we got to learn about their relationship, and love for each other, and their adorable furry children. Matt and Lisa have two dogs: Mia and Bella, and wanted to schedule a rustic theme engagement session for the spring time to get a photo they can use on their save the date card.

In Michigan in the spring time, the weather can be super hit or miss, and we luckily dodged the rain (by maybe 20 minutes!) on the evening of their scheduled Rustic Theme Engagement Session. While all the foliage is just on the verge of emerging for the spring, everything is still pretty brown and bare, so we were thrilled when Lisa and Matt wanted to add a splash of color into it and embrace the spring weather right along with us. Every season and every session has something unique and fun to offer, and we love couples that roll with the flow and appease our (sometimes crazy) ideas (that may or may not involve ladders and tons of PDA.)

Mia and Bella brought their A- Game and loved being included into the photos. We loved commenting about how they appear to be smiling in the photos, as if they are so proud of their parents and their wedding bells scheduled for this September. Their wedding is scheduled to take place at the Shelby Gardens Banquet & Events Center, in Shelby Township, Michigan. We know that they will be adding in lots of flair and fun aspects to make their wedding unique and fun. Their colors are blush/rose gold and navy blue, and we love how they subtly wore those very colors to their Rustic Theme Engagement Session to incorporate them into it.

We love when couples are open to ideas and suggestions for those tricky outdoor engagement sessions in the chilly months, and love how willing and excited Matt and Lisa were for their engagement session. The rustic theme of the barns and the fields and trail was perfect for their laid-back and fun loving attitude towards each other, and we were all cracking up the entire time. We hope you enjoy this small preview into their Rustic Theme Engagement Session in Clyde, Michigan. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, we still have some 2019 dates available, and are also quickly booking into 2020; we’d love to discuss how Mulberry & Sage can be your ultimate photography team.
