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 & Josh have known each other since kindergarten. They went to the same elementary school, middle school and high school, however, they never were in the same friend group or really hung out. After college, Stephanie was out and about with her mom one day and she ran into Josh.
I first met Tiffany one summer during college. She was in the same sorority at Michigan State as one of my best friends. From laying out by the pool, to Red Wings games, we all had a blast together. Tiffany has such a kind and gentle soul and we have so much in common, especially our love for yoga and green juice!
Jacqueline and Eric are both from the same hometown and went to the same high school. They are two years apart and despite being in such close proximity to one another all of those years, they didn’t connect until after high school during the winter of 2012!
Nicole & Alex were married this past Saturday at Planterra Conservatory, a lush greenhouse just outside of Detroit that was full of greenery and gorgeous sunlight streaming in through it’s frosted glass roof. They said their I do’s under an arbor dripping with hanging white florals, while Nicole’s bridesmaids cried happy tears in the background.
Honora and Mac first met when their families were neighbors. Honora was 3 and Mac was 8. Their parents became fast friends and their families vacationed together. Mac had moved to Chicago and when Honora moved out there after she graduated from Michigan, her mom kept suggesting to her that she should meet up with Mac since he lived there too.
Laura and Curtis met when they attended the same high school. Laura liked Curtis, but it wasn’t until they were both studying at Michigan State together that she finally said to Curtis, “Are you going to ask me out or what?” Much to all of their mutual friends delight, he did and the two of them were married this past weekend in a gorgeous ceremony at the First Presbyterian Church of Plymouth followed by the most classic and elegant Lovett Hall wedding reception in Dearborn, MI at The Henry Ford Museum!
