Laura and Chris spent an amazing sunshiney morning with us on Monday while we hung out and did their Michigan Beach Engagement Photography Session. The wedding package that they chose with Mulberry & Sage Photography included an engagement session with it, and it really gave us the opportunity to see how they are together, and get to know them better before showing up on their wedding day. Speaking of their wedding day, it’s quickly approaching in early July, so you’ll be sure to see their sweet love-filled faces featured on the blog again here shortly.

Laura and Chris are currently knee-deep in planning their Metro Detroit wedding, and get extra special kudos and props because they are doing it from a distance. They live down in Dayton, Ohio, and chose to get married up here since Laura’s family is all from the Detroit area. She’s from the great white north, and he was born and raised in Kentucky. They met halfway, and chose to live in Ohio to split the difference and get the best of both worlds visiting family, either up north or down south. They love the water, so we decided that a Michigan beach engagement photography session was the perfect fit to showcase their love. With the sun rising in the east over our beautiful Lake Huron, sunrise or early morning sessions are our favorite. They were total troopers and came up to Port Huron from Detroit to start bright and early at 9am, and then they both had high-tail-it back to Dayton later that day. Since Chris is from Kentucky, horses and horse farms hold a special place in his heart. Luckily, Courtney just so happens to own a horse, and we use her family’s farm quite often in our photography, because so many people love the rustic charm that goes along with it. We went and did some photos in the pasture, and Courtney’s new horse, Reggie, went right along with it and posed in the background for his time in the spotlight, too.

We can’t wait until their July Metro Detroit wedding, and hope you enjoy this small preview into Laura and Chris’ Michigan beach engagement photography session. If you find yourself sitting there and googling phrases such as, “photographer near me” and are lost in your photographer decision, we’d love to connect and meet up and chat about your wedding day & how we can seamlessly fit in.
