Amber and Michael met two years ago online, and bonded immediately because of their love of competitive shooting. They are busy planning their May 2020 wedding, and contacted Mulberry & Sage to be their Lapeer County Engagement Photographer and also their wedding photographer for their big celebration next spring. When we were talking with them, they wanted to stay local to their home, so they could incorporate their guns into the photo session. We love photographing on private property, and we get super excited when we hear key words like “rustic” and “country.” But we seriously had no idea what we were driving in to when we pulled into their Metamora home. On the drive over, we were ogling the beautiful horse farms that were on their roads. It was like we suddenly were transported into Kentucky, with rolling pasture hills, massive horse barns, and stunning country estates. And Amber’s family home was no different. We could have stayed and photographed on their property all day long. The night was beautiful, with the most perfect golden sun light, and it wasn’t too hot, or too cold.

We learned about the two of them. Both Amber and Michael work for her Dad’s business, and love being so tight knit with her family. Michael moved to Michigan from Oklahoma two years ago, and has immersed himself in the rural Michigan lifestyle and really enjoys the Metamora area. They keep busy by practicing their shooting, and are both on all American team member shooters who have won tons of awards and recognition across the country for their skills. They make quite a team! Their first ever meeting in person was at a competition in Florida, so it really holds a special place in both their hearts.

We had lots of fun getting to know the two of them, learning about their love story, and exploring their stunning property for photos. We are excited to photograph their wedding in May of 2020, and hope you enjoy this preview into when Mulberry & Sage was Amber and Michael’s Lapeer County Engagement Photographer team for the day.
