As we were flying into Detroit, I decided to take a look at the weather. It wasn’t very promising. There was a chance of rain all day and I was praying that we would have some dry weather for this sweet couple! They brought us all the way from Richmond after all!! As soon as we got to the church, I found a stone wall underneath the carport! It was pretty and the light was good… and I was relieved! We had a rain plan!
Thankfully, we only had to use the “rain plan” for part of the portraits! We shot some portraits outside of the church and then the other set of portraits were take on the side of the road… in the middle of suburbia!! And yet it still looks like we were away somewhere on a farm! I loved it! Not only did I love that location that we used but I also loved this sweet family. Meeting family members for the first time is one of the parts of the day that I really look forward to! Needless to say, Austin and Melissa’s families were incredibly fun to work with! They knew us by name and we immediately felt like a part of the family as soon as we stepped through the door!
Melissa and Austin looked like super stars but they definitely didn’t act like super stars. They were so chill and easy-going the entire time. They trusted us and that means the world. There is literally nothing better than a couple who is willing to do anything for great portraits! We love these two and we have been looking forward to this since they drove to Richmond for their engagement!!! We love their dynamic and sweet personalities! I just wished they lived closer!!!

A year ago, we promised to find a solution for those who were complaining about their R6 raw files looking dull and lifeless in Lightroom. However, due to various circumstances, we couldn’t deliver on that promise until now.
Kelly is an incredible wedding photographer who has been shooting 90 weddings a year. I know, it sounds unbelievable, but it’s true! Kelly’s success and the volume of work she handles is truly impressive.
Your sessions should be working FOR you not against you!
