Hannah & Alex are Engaged!

Hannah & Alex first met when her family moved in next door to Alex. At the time she was struggling with her math studies and Hannah's mom knew that Alex was an engineer, so she asked Alex if he wouldn't mind tutoring Hannah. And that is where their love for one another began to grow.

Then one day they had made plans to go play tennis, and when Hannah walked into her room to change she found a card waiting for her saying that he had hoped she didn't mind, but he made other plans. There lying on her bed was a bouquet of flowers and a beautiful evening gown. Two hours later Alex arrived to pick up Hannah and to her surprise, they went next door to Alex's house. He had made a special meal all from scratch, they drank champagne and danced to their favorite songs. Then Alex got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Hannah said "Of Course"!

It was a beautiful winter day, sun was shining, snow on the ground. Perfect for a romantic Valentine's Day Engagement session! I met up with Alex and Hannah at the infamous Ice House in Detroit. Unfortunately, the sun had melted a lot of the ice, but we still captured some great images there! Afterwards we headed down to Belle Isle for the rest of our session.





Hannah is a natural beauty!

They were such an easy couple to photograph! When you see the way they interact with each other, you can feel the love that they share.

One of my favorite images from the day.



Do you feel it?

Another top fave!



It was a pretty chilly day, but they braved the cold and even took off their winter coats for a few shots!



I love this series, and Hannah you're looking fierce!





Lucky for us we got to the Conservatory just before they closed so we were able to warm up and get some images that almost look like spring!



Hannah, you got yourself one fine looking man!



Maybe because it was Valentine's Day, but there was plenty of kissing going on! My favorite "kissy" picture of the day.







We were pretty excited to see that the "Ice Tree" was still in full effect. Even found a little cave!



This is my favorite image of the day!


Hannah & Alex, I had an amazing time with you guys. Thank you for letting me be a part of your Valentine's Day, and I can't wait for your wedding!
