Metro Detroit Engagement Photographer | Kate & Kevin

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.

Port Huron Engagement Photographer | Theresa & Matt

Theresa and Matt have such a long term and special relationship, and we were so excited when they chose Mulberry & Sage Photography to be their Port Huron Engagement photographer, as well as also booking their November wedding with us too. We met the two of them originally at the Radio First Bridal Expo in Port Huron in January. It was the first year that we’ve ever participated in a bridal show, and we were so excited to meet so many couples getting married in the Blue Water Area, in such a short time frame. Theresa and Matt stood out to us from the day because we chatted with them both for a while on the day of, and when they emailed us, we were thrilled.

Theresa and Matt have been dating for quite a few years now, so people who are close to the two of them have been expecting his proposal to come along any day now. When it did, everyone was thrilled and they began preparing for their wedding day right away. They are getting married in November, and we love November weddings, because the season is winding down for us and the weather is stunning in Michigan in the fall. Sneaking in some spring time engagement photos to use for their save the date cards was important, so we set up a time in April for us to be their Metro Detroit engagement photographer for the evening. When the day rolled around, we had our serious doubts. It was pretty chilly, but, more importantly, it had been raining all day. We checked the weather radar and offered them a chance to pick a more predictable sunny day, but Theresa had taken the day off work and had her hair and makeup prepped, so they stuck with their Friday evening session time. And boy, are we sure glad they did! The weather was gorgeous, albeit a little cold (mid 50’s), but the sun came out to play for some shots, and it ended up being a perfect and beautiful session. Courtney’s big red barn and property was the perfect location for them again, and we loved exploring the wooded trails together at the end, too.

We cannot wait to share more images of Theresa and Matt in November after their Solitude Links golf course wedding. Until then, we hope you enjoy some of our favorite images from when we were their Port Huron engagement photographer for the evening. If you’re a 2018 couple getting married, we still have some select dates available; make sure to drop us a line to chat.

Metro Detroit Engagement Photographer | Alyse & Paul

We met Alyse on Saturday afternoon at a Starbucks in Macomb. She was referred to us by a fellow professional Metro Detroit engagement photographer, and we were excited to hear all about her upcoming October 2018 wedding in Fenton.

As we were driving up, we giggled that her venue, the Vale Royal Barn, looked stunning, and, if she liked rustic and country, we were her perfect professional photography team. You see, Courtney is a fourth generation farmer. Her family property is home to many heads of cattle, a bunch of horses, and acres of land for their hay company. And I (Megan) am what I like to refer to as a “wanna-be farmer.” Meaning, my husband and I watched far too many homesteading type shows, and when we moved back to Michigan a couple years ago, made it a point to buy a home on 10 acres so we could grow our current “hobby farm.” Needless to say, Courtney and I love the Michigan countryside, and barn weddings will always hold a special place in our hearts.

We immediately clicked with Alyse, and were laughing the entire time. That night, after going home and talking with her fiance Paul, she booked us for her Fenton wedding. She had mentioned during our meetup that she loved barns, and farm animals, and would love to have her engagement session on a farm. Luckily, we happen to know some great places to go for that. Paul and Alyse were gracious enough to make the trek up to the Port Huron area to Courtney’s family property, and spend the very next day with us outside in the cold for their engagement photo session. It wasn’t your typical engagement session. It involved herding cows, laughing at too-curious horses, and lots of breaks to warm up from the 20 degree weather. But it was perfect. We loved the magical element that the snow brought to the photos. We loved their quirky and hysterical love. And we cannot wait until their wedding in October where we will be their Metro Detroit wedding photographer team.

If you’re in the market for a Metro Detroit Engagement Photographer, we would love to connect with you. We promise, we love fun engagement sessions, and want them to be the perfect experience for each individual couple and your unique love story.
