Every engagement session is photographed by Rosy & Shaun together,
just like every wedding we photograph.
You don't need to know how to pose.
Most couples tell us they've never been professionally photographed before, and that's exactly who our engagement sessions are designed for.
The best engagement photos happen when you feel comfortable enough to be yourselves. We'll guide you with just enough direction to keep everything relaxed and natural, then step back so the real moments can happen.
Whether you're imagining downtown Detroit, Belle Isle, the Detroit Riverwalk, Michigan Central, your favorite neighborhood, or somewhere that's meaningful to the two of you, we'll create an engagement session that feels personal instead of posed.
The result is a collection of photographs that looks like you, feels like you, and reminds you exactly what this season of your lives felt like together.

Our most popular collection includes both your engagement session and wedding day coverage.
Your engagement session is more than a chance to take beautiful photographs.

When Do You Schedule Engagement Sessions?
We typically schedule engagement sessions during the last two hours before sunset when the light is soft, flattering, and ideal for photographs. If you're hoping for a downtown Detroit session after dark or have a specific vision in mind, we'll recommend the best time to make it happen.
Will You Help Us With Posing?
Absolutely. Most couples tell us they've never been professionally photographed before, and that's completely normal. We'll guide you with simple prompts and natural direction so you never have to wonder what to do, while keeping everything relaxed, genuine, and true to the two of you.
What should we wear for our engagement photos?
Choose outfits that feel like you. Coordinating colors and timeless styles tend to photograph beautifully, but comfort is just as important. If you'd like help deciding what to wear, we're happy to offer recommendations before your session.
Can we bring our dog to our engagement session?
Of course. Some of our favorite engagement sessions have included four-legged family members. We simply recommend bringing a friend or family member who can take your pup for a walk or head home after a few photographs, so we can focus on the two of you for the rest of the session.
Where should we take our engagement photos?
Every couple is different, and your engagement session should reflect that. Whether you already have a location in mind or are deciding between a few Detroit favorites, we'll help you choose a setting that feels personal and fits your vision.
What happens if it rains on our engagement session?
If the forecast calls for heavy rain or severe weather, we'll reschedule your session at no additional cost. Michigan weather can be unpredictable, so we'll keep an eye on the forecast and make the call together.
Ready to Plan Your Detroit Engagement Session?
Whether you're dreaming of Belle Isle, downtown Detroit, Midtown, New Center, Michigan Central, or a place that's meaningful to the two of you, we'd love to help create engagement photos that feel relaxed, natural, and unmistakably you.
