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
They say mother know best, and that was certainly the case for Maureen & Josh!! Josh’s mom and Maureen taught together at the same school. The entire school year, his mom kept telling Maureen that she wanted to introduce her to her son Josh.
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.
Jessica & Brennon were married this past Saturday at the historic Colony Club in Downtown Detroit. The Colony Club is one of my favorite venues (that blush toned ballroom and those ornate golden chandeliers ?) and it never disappoints! A string quartet played as Jessica’s dad walked her down the aisle towards a waiting Brennon.
Elegant yet simple. Classic black tie & timeless. This is how Emily envisioned her Meadow Brook Hall wedding and along with Beautiful Day Planning, she absolutely nailed it and created such a wonderful day for her and Tommy!
Their wedding day started at the Royal Park Hotel.
I met up with Liz & Sean last week for their engagement session in Detroit! We started at Selden Standard where they grabbed cocktails and hung out in their back garden space before heading over to the Detroit Institute of Arts to finish their session.
