TIMELESS AND INTENTIONAL MICHIGAN WEDDING AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER.
Engagement sessions are such a special way to capture the start of a couple’s journey together, and Sammi and Evan’s timeless engagement session in Ann Arbor was no exception! As a Detroit and Ann Arbor engagement photographer, I’m always excited to shoot sessions that feel both relaxed and deeply personal, and this one had all of that in spades. From the soft natural light to the genuine moments they shared, their gallery is full of images that tell a story of connection and joy.
Sammi and Evan chose locations that felt meaningful and vibrant, blending city energy with quiet corners that let their connection shine. The mix of textures, from brick walls to lush trees, created a beautiful backdrop without stealing the spotlight. Their session was easy-going, with lots of natural movement and laughs that made the whole experience feel like hanging out with old friends rather than posing for photos. This relaxed vibe is something I always encourage, because it leads to images that feel honest and timeless!
One of my favorite things about this session was how Sammi and Evan truly just enjoyed being together. Whether they were sharing a private joke or walking hand in hand, the camera faded into the background. These are the moments that become favorites, not staged, but real and raw. The way their eyes meet, the subtle smiles, the gentle touches, these are the details that tell their story best! For couples planning their engagement photos, this is a reminder that the best images come from being present and authentic.
If you’re planning your own engagement session and want photos that capture your unique connection in an authentic way, I’d love to help! Whether you want downtown vibes, natural light, or a mix of both, the Detroit and Ann Arbor areas offer amazing spots to create the perfect setting for your story. Engagement sessions are a chance to slow down and celebrate your love, and I’m here to make that experience relaxed, fun, and unforgettable.
If their session feels like what you want for your own, let’s connect and start planning!

Mariah is such a pleasure to work with! She is not only the friendliest person who makes you feel so comfortable right when you meet her, but you can tell photography is truly her passion. It’s a breath of fresh air to be able to have photos taken without feeling rushed or feeling like you are “just another client” to get through. I have had the joy of doing 2 different sessions with Mariah so far and each time, the pictures turned out absolutely flawless.
