Detroit Institute of the Arts Engagement Photos

The Detroit Institute of the Arts (DIA) has been a cultural landmark for over a century.  What better place to show your love for Detroit and your fiance than on the historical steps of the DIA?  The Italian-Renaissance style building features gorgeous white marble and tall black doors with intricate ironwork.  It is the perfect cosmopolitan backdrop for a modern Michigan couple.  This bride wore a red cocktail dress, but you could easily dress it up in a ballgown or dress it down in a sundress.  Have you considered taking your photos at the DIA?

Detroit's Fox Theatre Engagement Session

There is nothing like a beautiful fall day in Downtown Detroit.  The crisp autumn air, the charming old buildings, and of course, a couple in love.  This engagement session took place at the Fox Theatre, where those intricate gold doors took center state.  The bride and groom-to-be kept things casual in jeans and sweaters, which was perfect for the sunny afternoon.

The Fox Theatre is a historic gem in Detroit, where only 6 couples get married a year.  If you are lucky enough to have this as your venue, you will have access to the gorgeous Grand Staircase and can even exchange I Dos on the iconic stage.  Packages start around $150 per person.  Interested? Then check out this stunning wedding I stumbled upon by Jess + Nate Studios.

That wedding looks like something out of a story book.  Be sure to visit Jess + Nate to see other magical moments from the wedding.

Today's post shows how we are constantly blown away by what Detroit has to offer.  Whether you are looking for a space to shoot your engagement photos or a location for your reception, there are breathtaking venues and backdrops everywhere.
