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!
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!
Caitlin’s first job when she moved to New York City was waitressing at a local restaurant while she looked for her first career job after graduating college. Several of her coworkers were friends with a guy who would stop in often.
I’ve been on a My Best Friend’s Wedding kick the past few weeks and it made me so excited for Samantha & Adam’s downtown Chicago engagement session! It’s kind of ironic, but most of my all-time favorite movies I watch over and over revolve around weddings (Sixteen Candles, It Takes Two, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Because I Said So, 27 Dresses, Something Borrowed, The Parent Trap, etc…).
