There’s something so magical about Downtown Detroit, especially when love is in the air. Alaa and Nikole’s engagement session took us to two of the city’s most breathtaking locations. The historic Book Tower and the iconic Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA)—for an unforgettable evening filled with romance, laughter, and timeless moments.

A Love Story Set in Architectural Beauty

We started the session at the Book Tower, a true gem of Detroit’s skyline. With its grand interiors, vintage charm, and soft golden lighting, the space created the perfect setting for their love story. Nikole’s elegant dress flowed effortlessly as Alaa held her close, their chemistry undeniable. The candle-lit ambiance of the lounge and the towering archways gave their photos a timeless, cinematic feel—like a scene straight out of an old Hollywood film.

Wind, Romance & The DIA Magic

As we moved to the Detroit Institute of Arts, the energy shifted to something equally breathtaking yet more free-spirited. The stunning marble architecture provided a dreamy backdrop as the wind played with Nikole’s hair, adding movement and spontaneity to their portraits. One of my favorite moments was capturing Alaa lifting her in pure joy—completely lost in the magic of the moment.
