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
We have had such a rainy spring this year but despite an ever changing forecast the day of, the rain thankfully held off for Arielle & Matthew’s engagement session! Arielle & Matthew first met in a college calculus class. Matthew unknowingly stole the seat Arielle sat in everyday and forced her to sit somewhere else and Arielle was not a fan.
Katie wore a beautiful champagne wedding dress fit for a princess as she walked down the aisle with her dad to where John was waiting. It was only fitting that she wore that type of dress because she got engaged in front of Cinderella’s castle at Disney World when John dropped down to one knee and asked her to marry him.
Lauren & James adorable Morristown, New Jersey engagement photos are on the blog today and let me just say that I’m OBSESSED with Lauren’s red dress from Reformation. That bow on the back was just so elegant and I loved the way it moved in the breeze!
I met up with Gaby & Chad recently for their Downtown Detroit engagement session. I previously photographed Gaby’s friend Lisa’s wedding and was so excited when she reached out to me about photographing her wedding to Chad. Our original plan was to go to the fountain on Belle Isle for their engagement photos, but the Grand Prix had shut down access to it, so we ended up at one of my favorite spots, the Detroit Institute of Arts instead!
Courtneay & Josh were married this past Saturday at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial! Even though it rained and their ceremony had to be moved inside, they didn’t let it dampen their mood one bit!
The day started at the Westin Book Cadillac hotel downtown.
I’m not sure what I love more about Malia & Erik’s engagement session – Malia’s blue floral embroidered dress or that gorgeous sunset light?! I met up with these two a little over a week ago at the University of Michigan for their engagement session!
