We met up with Kate and Kevin originally about a month ago because they were in the market to hire a Metro Detroit Engagement Photographer who was also knowledgeable at photographing at their chosen Port Huron wedding venue called Solitude Links. Those of you who know us know that we love shooting at Solitude Links, and are even on their preferred vendor list because everything about the venue just matches our aesthetic and our photography style so perfectly.

The photo package for their wedding day that they chose comes with an engagement session already built in. We love this package, and it’s our best-selling one because of the opportunity to meet and hang out a bit before the wedding date. Especially since Kate and Kevin aren’t getting married until June of 2020, having this chance to explore a bit and create their perfect engagement session is such a fun part of our job.We spent Sunday evening traipsing through the woods and creeks with them.

Even if you may be looking for a Metro Detroit engagement photographer, we always urge clients to make the short and easy drive up to the Port Huron area, because we have so many small hidden gem locations outside of the standard parks and locations that everyone flocks to within the Detroit limits. You may see this spot on our blog often, and it’s one of our favorites for so many reasons. We love how they wanted to do their session in June so it had a similar vibe to their wedding date. The leaves are finally all out, and the flowers on the wild honeysuckle are blooming like crazy, so we had to utilize all of nature’s gifts, of course.

Kate and Kevin were willing to go along with all our crazy plans, and jumped in the car after the session where Kevin said happily, “well that wasn’t nearly as awkward as I was expecting it to be.” And for us, that’s a massive compliment. Photo sessions shouldn’t be feared, and shouldn’t ever feel forced or weird. Engagement sessions are about highlighting a couple’s love for each other, and we hope that you enjoy this small glimpse into Kate and Kevin’s love-filled evening where they invited us to hang out and document it. If you’re in the market for a Metro Detroit Engagement Photographer, we would love to chat and hang out and show you some more galleries of other custom sessions we’ve helped create over the years.
