Francesca and Mark's Belle Isle Engagement Session

Well, hello there. It's been awhile since I've had the chance to breathe and blog a little bit, so please forgive the lack of posts! It's been a crazy busy 2018 for me professionally and personally! This evening, I'm so stoked to share Francesca and Mark's Belle Isle engagement session with you. These two could not have been easier to photograph! They were constantly smiling and being cute with lots of giggles. That made my job extra easy! Last summer, I photographed a wedding Francesca was in and as soon as we met one on one, I knew I liked her and that we would work well together. The beautiful Francesca is a landscape architect, so the Belle Isle Conservancy was the perfect spot to start with. Isn't her East-West engagement ring cool? It was the first one I've ever seen like that. I hope you enjoy many of my favorites from this sweet and happy session! Congratulations on your engagement, Mark and Francesca! I'm so excited for your June wedding! xoxo

Zach and Meredith's Detroit Anniversary Session

Hello! I know it's been a bit since I've posted. Life and things at KSP have been so busy lately! I have my own love story going on, my sister is getting married next month, I just returned from Ireland, and the list goes on and on! I wanted to jump on here and share a sweet anniversary session I did for one of my cutest and most obviously in love couples, Meredith and Zach. You may remember them from their relaxed engagement session and Waldenwoods wedding. We had a blast at Detroit's super cute Z Lot and then at Belle Isle. The way these two look at each other just brings a smile to my face. Congratulations on your first year of marriage, Mer & Zach. May you have many many more! xo

A Fort Street Presbyterian Detroit Wedding

Happy Friday, everyone! What a good day to cozy up with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book (or my blog)! I hope you are staying safe with this crazy snow we are getting. I’m thrilled to share Kayla and Justin’s wedding feature this afternoon. You’ve seen them before when I did their super cute downtown Rochester engagement session (see it here!). Kayla was really one of my prettiest and sweetest brides to date. Tell me this little lady doesn’t look like a doll? I mean, seriously! One of my favorite parts of the big day was the fact that Kayla sewed two little blue hearts to represent her precious grandfathers who have both passed, one just before the wedding. I just thought that was really sweet. Kayla described the look they were going for with their wedding as a “romantic feel with mixtures of burgundies, golds, and blushes.” So pretty! These college sweethearts tied the knot at Detroit’s GORGEOUS Fort Street Presbyterian, one of my favorite churches to date. I loved the architecture and character! After a very sweet bubble send-off like something out of a movie, we headed to Belle Isle for some portraits. We ended the night with their large reception at Laurel Manor, where guests danced the night away. I hope you enjoy my favorites and congratulations on your marriage, Justin and Kayla! I wish you all the best. xoxo Ceremony venue: Fort Street Presbyterian | Offsite photos: Belle Isle | Reception: Laurel Manor | Photography: Kate Saler Photography | Hair & makeup: 24Luxe | Bride's dress: Blue by Enzoani from Ashley and Alexandria’s Bridal Boutique | Groom's attire: President Tuxedo | Cake: Cakes by Stephanie | Flowers: Lilacs and Laurel | DJ & Video: Mike Staff Productions | Contact Kate Saler Photography HERE
