Kathryn and Ryan | Engagement Shoot | The Monarch Club | Detroit, MI

Nostalgia tends to breed romance. In a world filled with fast-paced living and technology growing almost by the minute, there is something comforting about cuddling on the couch and watching a timeless, black and white romance movie. Kathryn and Ryan shared that their favorite movie in the world is the classic “Casablanca” and they would love to incorporate the “old school Hollywood” aesthetic into their downtown Detroit engagement session. Not only were they able to perfectly channel that classic feeling of love and romance during their private tour of the Monarch Club, but also  on the steps of the ever-beautiful Detroit Institute of the Arts.

Kathryn and Ryan, Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman couldn’t hold a candle to you two. From the first moments of meeting you, your love of life and each other swept the session away, and we felt as though we had stepped back in time to watch two lovebirds visit their favorite nightclub in the 1940s. The kindness we saw displayed not only to us, but also everyone you met speaks volumes of your life now and what it will be in the future, and we are thrilled to be able to be a part of that life for at least the next year or so. We are already looking forward to our date night in Grand Rapids soon!

See you soon!
