Hello everyone! I hope you’re weathering the cold well enough. Not a lot happens for us in the winter, but one thing that did, is a surprise winter wedding in Downtown Detroit for our good friend, Tomi and his beautiful bride, Rebecca. Now, when I say this was a surprise, I mean it… Learn more about the surprise, and see some of the amazing portraits and candids we were able to capture throughout the day in this Downtown Detroit Elopement!
We recently had the great pleasure of strolling around in Downtown Detroit for an engagement shoot for a lovely couple who are getting married on New Years Eve (which we will also be photographing.) Most people don’t think of city shots as a first choice for engagement shoots, but really, it depends on the couple, and I really think this couple were meant for it. They were such good sports, even though it was pretty cold out, and had a lot of fun posing for us and enjoying the stroll through iconic Detroit. It was a fun, exciting, and challenging adventure to be sure. Not only did we try to use the lighting and the activity of the city to really bring out the life of the photos, but we also used a little bit of time exposure as well. Below are some of our photos from the photoshoot, as well as their specs in case you want to know what we did for each photo. Please note, that a speedlight flash with a softbox was used for some of these shots, which really helped to counteract major shadows from the streetlights.
