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
Happy Friday friends! You’re in luck today, because there’s a DOUBLE DOSE of pretty on my blog! Sagar & Emily had not one, but TWO, Dearborn Inn weddings on their wedding day! Sagar is Indian, so he wanted to have a traditional Indian wedding ceremony and Emily grew up dreaming about wearing a beautiful white dress as she walked down the aisle at her wedding.
When two Michigan alums fall in love and plan a wedding on campus at the University of Michigan Museum of Art in Ann Arbor, you know it’s going to be a GOOD day! ?? There’s just something about being back at the place where I spent four of the best years of my life, with a couple who also went there and gets why this place is so special, that I love so much!
I met up with Lauren & Josh recently for their engagement photos!! Lauren & Josh both teach skiing at Pine Knob and spend a lot of time in winter there, so it made perfect sense to document their engagement photos in a place so special to them!!
I met up with Kim & Steve recently for their engagement session in downtown Northville, the same place where Steve proposed a few months prior!! Kim is my cousin/friend/go to travel partner and I was so excited to capture her & Steve in front of my camera!!!
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!
I met up with Kristen & Ethan last week for their engagement photos. Rain was in the forecast and after moving around our start time a bit to try and time it for when it was supposed to stop, the drizzle thankfully cleared up 15 minutes into their session!!
