Engagement Photo Sessions

Engagement Session Photo Walk


Engagement Session Photo Walk

I’m excited to share with you my next photo walk that has been in the works for some time now. It’s an engagement session photo walk complete with a real couple engaged to be married serving as models. We’ll be taking them through a typical engagement session on the grounds of the beautiful Meadow Brook Mansion on the Campus of Oakland University. Bring your camera and your questions and we’ll work with a wonderful couple that doesn’t mind 15 cameras pointed in their direction. We’ll discuss photographic techniques as well as learn tips and tricks to use to get the most out of your engagement sessions.

When: Sunday April 17th from 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Where: Meadow Brook Mansion
480 South Adams Road
Rochester, Michigan 48309-4401

Due to the nature of this shoot I am limiting it to 15 students.

Advanced purchase price is $15 or $20 on the day of the shoot.


Harmony and Anthony Engaged – Rochester Michigan

I had been in contact with Hormony before Anthony had popped the question because she was preparing for the future possibility that he would present her with a ring.  She’s a bit of a planner, and During the 4th of July celebrations at Addison Oaks Anthony asked her to be his bride.  I could picture it happening with the lights and fireworks flickering above them.  We met this weekend for some engagement photos and had a great time throwing leaves, swinging on swings, wading in the water, and playing around the Rochester park.

Britany and Dan Engagements – Birmingham Michigan

Britany and Dan met at this coffee house for their first date and I’m not sure they’ve been apart since. They were a bit surprised to see that it was called Zuma’s coffee house now, but it didn’t matter because the table they sat in was still there. We had a blast walking around the city of Birminham and talking about their engagement and upcoming wedding. Here are a few of the photos we captured this weekend.

Jillyan and Chad Engaged – Fenton Michigan

It was this very pumpkin patch where Chad asked Jillyan to be his bride. When I asked them about a meaningful place to take their engagement photos, it was a no-brainer. Spicer’s Orchard. They came to the orchard on a normal fall day to look for pumpkins and enjoy some local wine, meanwhile Chad had this ring in his pocket and a nervous way about him that day. Chad was telling me the story as we were walking through the very pumpkin patch and I could imagine what he was feeling on that day. It took him till the end of the pumpkin patch to finally get down on one knee and ask Jillyan to be his bride, and I could picture the emotions that were going on in his head at the time. The hand in his pocket constantly checking to make sure the ring was there, and woman of his dreams at his side unknowingly just looking for pumpkins. We had a great time getting to know each other during yesterday’s engagement session and I’m really looking forward to their wedding next year at the Detroit yacht Club. Here’s just a taste of the photos that we captured yesterday.
