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
I’m so, so excited to share Stephanie & Braden’s Chicago History Museum wedding photos on the blog today! This venue has been on my dream wedding venue bucket list for years (wait until you see it’s majestic black and white marble floors & it’s stunning facade with those columns & steps) and I was so excited when Stephanie reached out about photographing her & Braden’s wedding day!!
Ellen & James’ October Community House Birmingham wedding was such a perfect day from start to finish! Ellen & James were originally supposed to get married the first weekend in January, but decided to move the wedding up a few months to be able to have it outdoors with a few more family & friends present!
Megan & Tommy moved their big wedding reception to next year but were still so excited to get married on their original wedding date last month surrounded by their closest family & friends!! The morning started for both of them at the Atheneum Hotel downtown!
Five years looks good on these two!! From a fateful meeting one night out in Royal Oak, to playing Survivor together, celebrating five years of marriage after a beautiful Colony Club wedding and now a baby on the way (you have to follow their surrogacy journey on Jaclyn’s Instagram), there’s lots to toast about!!
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!!
Happy Monday!! So excited to share Fiona & Carl’s wedding on the blog today!! I think I got the most DM replies to a story ever when I shared a sneak peek on my Instagram the night of their wedding that showed their beautiful tented reception!
