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
Stephanie and Paco met while studying at Penn State. They fell in love while spending late nights cooking at home and dancing around the living room. Next was a move to Chicago together where their love continued to grow. They got engaged in Italy when Paco proposed on the top of a hill overlooking his hometown of Bologna and they are getting married in Italy this Summer.
It was a day filled with love and laughs as I photographed Kena and Stephen in Downtown Detroit. I was originally supposed to photograph their wedding in Boston, MA but due to some family circumstances, they ended up having a very small and intimate wedding a month earlier and then meeting up with me in Detroit (Stephen is getting his MBA at The University of Michigan, my alma mater) so Kena could wear her dress and they could still have wedding photos taken.
It was a beautiful Fall day this past Saturday as Jenna and Adam exchanged vows inside the lovely Grosse Ile Presbyterian Church with it’s cobble stone floors and beautiful natural light. Afterwards, we stopped by Elizabeth Park for some photos by the water and on their iconic bridge before finding some gorgeous fall colors outside of Stone Creek where the reception was held.
Mary & James were married this past May on a beautiful Spring day. The rain was threatening to break through the clouds, but in the end, the rain held of and not a drop fell! After a beautiful ceremony under a floral arch, we headed over to Curwood Castle to take photos.
Katy and Joe said I do on a beautiful day in April. Their wedding ceremony took place at Antioch Lutheran Church in Farmington Hills and then the party headed over to Bay Pointe Golf Club for the reception. Katy and her girls wore the cutest floral robes while sipping mimosas and getting ready and I just love how the guys all wore bow ties with their tuxes!
