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. I had such a wonderful time with them and their love for each other just pours out of the images! And can we talk Kena for a second… her lace backless dress, the cathedral length veil, the Christian Louboutin heels. I think I told her a million times that day how amazing she looked! Doesn’t she have such great style? Stephen also looked handsome in his black tux. The Detroit Institute of Arts and the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores were the perfect classic and elegant backdrops for the day. Oh, and I can’t leave out the Rolls-Royce! Amazing!
Kena and Stephen, thanks for allowing me to document not only your proposal, but your wedding celebration as well and sharing a piece of your life with me! Much love, Jen xx
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)!
