There’s something about Cranbrook that makes every photoshoot feel timeless. Between the beautiful architecture, greenery, gardens, and quiet corners throughout the property, it is easily one of my favorite places to photograph couples in Michigan.
For this couples session, I wanted the photos to feel romantic, natural, and editorial while still allowing their personalities and connection to come through.
A Couples Photoshoot at Cranbrook
Located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Cranbrook offers so many different backgrounds within one location. We were able to move throughout the property and create a gallery that had variety while still feeling connected from beginning to end.
One of my favorite things about photographing here is how easily you can go from softer romantic portraits surrounded by nature to more structured editorial images using the architecture.
Instead of making every photograph feel overly posed, I focused on giving them direction and then allowing moments to naturally happen between them. Walking together, getting close, laughing, and simply interacting with each other created some of my favorite images from the session.
Creating Photos That Feel Like You
When I photograph couples, I never expect you to arrive knowing exactly what to do in front of the camera. That is my job.
I’ll guide you through posing, movement, and different ideas throughout the session while still giving you space to be yourselves. I want the final gallery to have those beautiful editorial portraits, but I also want the candid moments that actually feel like your relationship.
Every couple is different, and I think your photos should reflect that.
An Inclusive Space for Every Love Story
Creating an environment where the people I photograph can feel comfortable being themselves is incredibly important to me.
As a Michigan based traveling photographer, I have the opportunity to photograph people from so many different backgrounds, cultures, communities, and walks of life. I want every couple who steps in front of my camera to know that their love is welcome and worth documenting.
Photography should feel like a space where you can show up as yourself.
Photographing Love in Bloomfield Hills
Sessions like this are exactly why I love couples photography. You do not need to be celebrating an engagement or waiting for a major milestone to have your relationship photographed.
Sometimes documenting where you are together right now is reason enough.
Cranbrook was the perfect setting for this session, giving us the opportunity to create photographs that felt romantic, intimate, and editorial while still capturing genuine moments between the two of them.
If you are looking for a couples photographer in Michigan for an engagement, anniversary, proposal, or simply a photoshoot together, I would love to help bring your vision to life.
Whether we are creating together in Bloomfield Hills, Detroit, somewhere else in Michigan, or traveling to another city, my goal will always be the same. To create photographs that feel intentional, beautiful, and completely true to you.
