We met up with Allie and Cody on Sunday for their Christmas Campus Martius Photography engagement session. We love visiting the beautiful Downtown Detroit, especially during the holiday season because it’s all decorated so perfectly for that picturesque Christmas session. When Allie arrived with Cody (and her twin sister and bridesmaid…aka: her hype squad) she admitted that she felt nervous about their engagement session. Cody, like most guys, wasn’t overly excited to be spending the sunny afternoon trekking around the city taking photos, either. But, by the end of the session, they were both saying how much fun they had and how the time flew by. That’s a success in our book.

Allie and Cody met on an online dating platform originally. They hit it off immediately and are now super excited and planning their 2022 wedding happening at one of our personal favorite venues: Solitude Links. Because their venue is full of rustic charm, having an urban themed engagement session was a vision that Allie had and wanted to roll with. We lucked out with a beautiful day in Downtown Detroit, too. It was pretty cold in the wind, but the sun was shining beautifully and it gave us a stunning sunset on top the Z Lot to end their session. We we exploring in Campus Martius for spots for photos and found so many options in the Christmas market area, and it was decorated so cute with pine trees, logs, and all the twinkle lights you could ever ask for.

The Campus Martius Christmas tree is spectacular and a sight to make sure to see if you’re in town for the holidays. The ice skating rink in front was pretty full, but looked so fun and really added to the overall ambiance of this sunny winter day in December. We made sure to hit some other little spots we know and love Downtown, and then ended up on the roof of the Z Lot for those quintessential skyline views.

We hope you enjoy this preview into Allie and Cody’s Christmas Campus Martius Photography session. We have very limited 2022 wedding dates available, so if you find yourself suddenly planning a wedding this holiday season, we’d love to connect. 

Keep your eyes out for more of Allie & Cody’s wedding, coming in September of 2022!
