Engagment photos ideas around Rochester Hills area?

Hi ladies!

I'm seriously drawing a blank on where to get my photos taken. I really wanted meadowbrook after I saw pictures of one of the brides on here get her's done there, but when I called, they informed me that don't allow photos unless I'm with a magazine and it would cost 2,000 dollars. I tried looking at previous posts but for some reason it won't let me search for them....

Soooo any ideas?? It'll be during May so I want outdoors- trees, green grass, all that good stuff,  I kind of want privacy (me and my FI are kind of shy!) but I'm open to any suggestion really :) TIA

    Any of the public parks are going to be quite lovely - Firefighters park is out that way, it's got a cute little river.

    Yates cider mill is where I went for my engagement photos. There were TONS of people, but I went in the fall during apple/cider season so May would probably be a great time to go with few people to bother you (beautiful river and a rustic cider mill charm)

    It's north, but try Stony Creek Metro Park. Or just try walking around downtown Rochester. The cute houses on the side streets will have flowers/gardens planted by then and the downtown shops will be decorated for spring. If you go during a weekday you'll get great lighting and there shouldn't be too many people around.

    At Livernois and Avon Road (on Avon Rd) there is a gazebo.  I'd also recommend Stoney Creek.

    Ours were at the Van Hoosen Farms down the street from Stoney Creek. Its a big open area with a ton of different places to have pictures taken - FI and I loved it because we got such a variety of pictures! :)

    You can just show up at Yates, so long as you're only taking photos outside they can't really say anything. If you wanted pictures INSIDE, I imagine you'd have to contact someone.

    Thanks again for the suggestions ladies...I'm getting them done at Yates :) My photographer said that meadowbrook changed their rules and can ticket you if your taking pictures on their property which is so lame because their property is SO pretty

    We took ours at Rochester Municipal Park. They have a couple of bridges and a river running through where you can climb down into and stand on the rocks. It was nice.
