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 met up with Laura & Anu last week for their Detroit Institute of Arts engagement session and we had the most beautiful light & glowy orange sunset. These two have great style & were impeccibly dressed (I was swooning over Laura’s Saint Laurent heels), but they also have the sweetest and fun loving relationship and I think the photos we captured do that justice!
I met up with Katie & John in Detroit last week to take their engagement photos! We were originally planning on Belle Isle, but the location we wanted to used was blocked off for Grand Prix cleanup. I suggested doing Detroit Institute of Arts engagement photos and they were on board!
When I met up with Kristina & Patrick for their engagement session, the skies were overcast and there was no chance of a glowy sunset, but the clouds diffused the light beautifully and made Kristina’s blush dress & Patrick’s classic navy blazer pop.
Growing up, Chris & Nicole’s parents were the best of friends. Their families would hang out often and vacation together, so these two knew each other before they started dating. Nicole always thought Chris was cute, but as luck would have it, he always had a girlfriend.
I met up with Megan & Joe last week to take their engagement photos in downtown Detroit. Even though mother nature clearly wants to hang on to winter a little bit longer in Michigan, the date they had picked ended up being the one sunny & 70 degree day we had in the midst of a week of temperatures in the 40s and rain!
One of my favorite moments on Courtney & Joe’s wedding day was Courtney’s walk down the aisle. As she neared the front of the church (and her soon-to-be husband), she stopped in the aisle for a moment to lean over and give her grandma a kiss.
