Most days you'll find me sitting at my kitchen counter, clad in a mix of J.Crew and Zara (in neutral colors, of course), pouring my heart into this business of mine while dancing along to my latest Spotify playlist and sipping on a cup of hot tea. I'm an award-winning, published wedding photographer that is obsessed with all things classic and elegant. I'm a former California girl, but a true Midwesterner at heart. I love warm hugs, live music and getting texts from my brides that they cried when they saw their wedding photos!! I live for mornings on my yoga mat and green juice after. Among friends, I'm known for never missing an episode of The Bachelor on Monday nights, overusing exclamation points, and disliking coffee (but loving coffee shops)!
CLASSIC PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE NATURALLY ELEGANT BRIDE
Sara & Mitchell got engaged in Cancun, Mexico in May of 2018 and shortly after were the first couple to book me for 2020! Unbeknownst to me at the time, I was actually photographing a destination wedding in Mexico at that very same resort on the day they got engaged & Sara recognized me from following me on Instagram!!
I met up with Kalyn & Garrett recently to take their Fair Lane Estate engagement photos!! Kalyn loves the grounds there and I was so excited to capture her & Garrett’s love on their beautiful grounds! Kalyn’s bright pink dress (with the cutest bow) just popped amongst all of the greenery & flowers and Garrett even wore a complimentary tie to match her dress!
Let me just start by saying, I can not get over the insanely golden & glowy sunset we had for the second half of Denise & Tyler’s Detroit engagement photos!! We started off their session on a rooftop downtown for some classic, polished Detroit engagement photos with the city skyline views before heading over to the James Scott Memorial Fountain on Belle Isle to finish up as the sun sank lower & lower in the sky!
I don’t even know where to begin with this one other than to say Abby & Mike’s Planterra Conservatory wedding was amazing in every way possible! Abby & Mike met while in school at Michigan State and even though they now live in Chicago, they headed back to their home state to exchange vows in front of all of their family and friends!
Jessica & Brennon were married this past Saturday at the historic Colony Club in Downtown Detroit. The Colony Club is one of my favorite venues (that blush toned ballroom and those ornate golden chandeliers ?) and it never disappoints! A string quartet played as Jessica’s dad walked her down the aisle towards a waiting Brennon.
