Last week we met up with Emma and Barry, because they were interested in announcing their new engagement and doing a Michigan Fall Engagement Photography session in the Port Huron area. The two of them were really fun to meet and coordinate their session with, and we settled on a beautiful early fall evening and raced to beat the sun set over the hills. Typically, our sessions are done about 1-2 hours before the sun sets, so we can utilize something that most people refer to as “golden hour.” But sometimes, with work schedules and the sun setting earlier these days (moment of silence for that sad occurrence in nature) we instead did their session during the “blue hour.” Blue hour is when the sun dips down, and is equally as beautiful, but just gives off a completely different look for photos. Dusk is fun to explore, and the light really makes those colors pop (similar to the way a stormy or cloudy sky would.)

Emma and Barry have a fun love, and hadn’t made the grand facebook official announcement on their profiles yet, and had contacted us wanting to get an engagement session in to the schedule as soon as possible, so they could use a photo we took to make the announcement. It was lots of fun because we felt like we were “in on the secret” more than usual, and we quickly sent over their gallery (the next day!) for Emma to choose a favorite image to download and share the good news. The two of them met because they have 2 year old boys, and Barry had initiated a play date for the boys, all while knowing that he already had feelings for Emma, all along. What a fun story!

We loved doing Emma and Barry’s Michigan Fall Engagement Photography session in the Port Huron area, at one of our favorite locations; especially in the fall. We have limited dates in November open, and there is still time to squeeze in an engagement or anniversary session if you contact us ASAP.
