Hanna and Joe first got connected with us through one of our amazing Detroit photographer friends, Katie from Katie Anton Photography. (For real, shameless plug: if you’re looking for a posed newborn or studio baby photographer, she’s our go-to referral.) Hanna is her niece, and sent her over our direction for her 2022 wedding. Because of Covid, we first “met” them and had their consult via Zoom, so it was wonderful getting to meet them face to face, and not just virtually. They wanted to get save the dates made, and wanted their engagement session done relatively soon. After chatting about their ideal location, we got to work scheduling their Downtown Detroit Engagement session. 

Being from the Port Huron area, we don’t get to photograph down in Detroit very often. I (Megan) seriously love Detroit; it has my heart. It’s gritty, and full of heart and spirit and life. I always say that where we live is the best of both worlds; we can have our houses on acres of land with chickens and babies running free, and then take a quick 55 minute drive into the city to visit. There are many places to photograph in Detroit that make for wonderful photos. For their downtown Detroit engagement session, we started in Eastern Market, and then headed up to the Z Lot area to finish closer to sunset time. Hanna and Joe have an adorable one year old son together, and a cute love story. They met while Hanna was working at a drug store, and Joe would come in to purchase beef jerky daily. She ended up finding him on Facebook, and the rest is history.

We’re excited to be their 2022 wedding photographer team; they are actually our very first fall 2022 booking! Talk about planning ahead. We hope you love this small glimpse into their Downtown Detroit engagement session. If you’re looking for a Michigan wedding photographer team, we would love to connect and chat.
