Photos at Belle Isle, Michigan


I was honored to work with my friends Drew & Madi this fall to capture some beautiful fall engagement photos at Belle Isle in Detroit, Michigan. We filled our hour driving around the island and finding the most perfect spots to help showcase their love.


The weather was absolutely perfect! The leaves were at their peak in Mid October, and the temperature rose to around 70 degrees. We met at 10 a.m. to avoid as much harsh sunlight as possible.


Some of the best spots to take engagement photos at Belle Isle, in my opinion, include:

  • Casino building
  • Across the river in front of the Detroit skyline
  • The fountain (classing)
  • On the road in the middle of the island, headed toward the nature center.


Fall Engagement Photos in Michigan

Fall is THE most beautiful season in Michigan, if you ask me. Some reasons to take photos in fall are:

  • Comfortable weather
  • Warm colors
  • Earlier sunset
  • Colorful trees

Belle Isle had plenty of trees for us to showcase in our session, and the warm colors of the trees and the buildings helped the photos showcase the warmth of their love!
