We met up with Juliah and Anthony earlier in the fall when they contacted us to be their Port Huron City Flats wedding photographer team. We have quite a few City Flats Hotel weddings booked for 2020, and we can’t wait to get back into that awesome venue and document some amazing love stories in a place that’s near and dear to our hearts: Downtown Port Huron. Juliah and Anthony met in nursing school at University of Michigan Flint. She recently graduated, and Anthony is expected to finish up his program within the next few months, too. They have a fun love, that’s natural to be around. And for a couple that once claimed to be “awkward” in front of the camera, they seriously nailed it and looked like naturals. We knew that they wanted to do an engagement session once the busy fall season settled down, and we decided that December would be the perfect month for them (and us!) because both our schedules calmed down quite a bit. We threw out some ideas for a Christmas tree farm, which is fun in December for obvious reasons, but Courtney had a special place tucked away up her sleeve that she hadn’t used to do an evening session yet, but we knew it had large pine trees, and we figured that a Evergreen engagement session was the perfect theme for their December photo session.

What we didn’t count on though was unseasonably warm weather; it was literally almost 55 degrees when we met them for the evening, and the golden sun was so beautiful. Juliah’s red formal gown and white fur stole started off the evening, and mixed with Anthony’s dapper looking vest and coordinating tie, it was like a magical and sunny session, right in the middle of “winter” in Michigan. As much as we had secretly been hoping for some snow, mother nature decided to one-up us, and gifted us with the most beautiful sun and sunset that shone through the trees, and made Juliah’s long beautiful hair look magical, and all their sweet embraces and snuggles glow.

We’re so excited for their August City Flats wedding, and hope you enjoy this preview into their Evergreen engagement session. If you’re newly engaged, we still have some 2020 and 2021 dates available, and would love to get together with you and learn more about your love story, and get you in front of our lenses for some winter time magic, too. Shoot us an email, we’d love to connect!
