Arriving at Elizabeth Park in Trenton, MI to photograph an engagement/family session… We were a bit disappointed that the skies were still very gray, and still dropping a good amount of rain down on us. However, we were determined to make the best of it, and we were able to spend an idyllic afternoon photographing this very pleasant and delightful family at our favorite park in the Downriver Michigan area. Despite the uncooperative weather, we still all had a fantastic time and the shots that we were able to capture of this beautiful family are completely stunning. Read on to learn more about this shoot and see some of their amazing photos!
Old Town Lansing & Holt Michigan Engagement Photographers
One of our more recent engagement photo shoots required a trip to Michigan’s beautiful capital, Lansing! This fun couple met us at their future wedding reception venue, in Old Town Lansing. So that’s where this post will start out…
Engagement Shoot in Downtown Detroit
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.
