Saturday in Detroit - Eastern Market

Whenever I have a Saturday off, I instantly think of Eastern Market in Detroit. This past Saturday was no different!

Found some really beautiful light where this vendor was set up. Sometimes it pays to wake up early! ;)

Photographing Shannon and Tony

Shannon, a well educated, traveled and independent gal met Tony, a talented musician and educator while they were working
at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in 2007. The pair became engaged after Tony was inspired to craft lyrics and a tune. He performed his musical proposal for Shannon while they were on vacation and the rest is history!  Shannon recently moved to Chicago to begin her career as an attorney while Tony finishes up his obligations in Michigan. While they may be living in different states for now, it's clear they are meant to be together!

Shannon and Tony fell in love in Detroit and they have some major love for Detroit. So where else would we shoot their engagement photos? We hit up Belle Isle and made some of my favorite photos of the day.

I'm not sure if Shannon could smile any bigger in this photo! (Big ups for being extra prepared with boots suitable for running through the snow in mid-February!)

Love that Detroit skyline!

Definitely one of my favorites from our shoot! I couldn't decide between color or black and white, so you get both!

Lo-fi photography

I've been playing with the camera in my phone lately. Sure it's gimmicky. But I am finding it a fun way to experiment with photography. Currently, I use filter applications to modify the images including lo-mob and I'm also checking out Instagram.

And really, it's just another excuse to photograph Lue. Cause can you really take too many photos of your fuzzy friends? I
think  not. :)
