Michigan Engagement Photographer

 

Engagement Photography

Engagement and couples sessions are for the lovers that want this specific moment in their story preserved. Whether recently engaged or simply in deep love, these couples want their real life and love documented by an expert, artistically gifted photographer.

Candid moments artfully captured

 

My main focus as an engagement photographer is the peace and utter enjoyment of each client I work with.


My approach is guided by the belief that photography is energy work, capturing and transporting your love and joy to the future, with the intention of creating an environment where you and your partner can completely relax and soak in the beauty of each present moment.

FAQ

When will we receive the final gallery?

Your carefully edited gallery will be delivered by email within two weeks of your session date.

Can we send you our pinterest inspo?

Yes please! I love to see and know all your inspiration for your session. With this in mind, I scout locations and create a rough plan for creating the photos that mean the most to you. Though, while I 100% want to see these peeks into your ideas, I cannot guarantee that each photo or idea will be captured or recreated. I believe that you are hiring me for more than my ability to click a shutter button, you’re hiring me for my artistic, design oriented eye and innate ability to capture unique candid moments. So having your trust and the freedom to follow my instincts will lead to the types of photos that drew you to my work in the first place.

What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the session day?

This is definitely in the forefront of my mind as well, so I always select a backup date for each session, so we can be sure to have the best light and weather.

Are downloads or prints included?

The session fee of your chosen session includes the downloads and a print release if needed. That said, every gallery has a print store of hundreds of amazing, high quality products fulfilled through White House Custom Color, a Minnesota based company that only works with professional photographers.

How much experience do you have?

In the last 13 amazing years traveling around the US, Europe, and even to Costa Rica, I have photographed over 130 weddings and elopements and countless family, couples, and senior sessions. I’ve photographed both solo, as a duo, and as a second photographer in many situations so I am ready for whatever might come up on your day.
