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
Oh my gosh, where do I even begin. Emily & Zane’s Ann Arbor wedding was one for the books! From Emily’s younger sister and Maid of Honor balling her eyes out during the ceremony to the sweet look on Zane’s face when he saw his bride for the first time, there were so many special moments during their wedding and you could feel all of the love that their family and friends had for them during the day!
When Emily was 13, her Dad gave her a heart locket with an “E” cut out of it. He kept the “E” key that unlocked it on a chain around his neck and she wore the locket around hers. This past Saturday he gave the key to Emily’s heart to Stefan as he married them in a beautiful outdoor ceremony at the Cherry Barc Farm just outside of Lansing, MI.
George and Erika were on vacation in Jamaica when he took her to a romantic dinner on the beach for two. They were sitting just a few feet from the water and George was so excited to ask Erika to marry him that he couldn’t even wait until after dinner was served before proposing to her.
Happiness. If there was one word that perfectly summarized Jessica and Todd’s wedding day, that would be it. During the best man’s speech, Todd’s son said he had never seen his Dad as happy as he is with Jessica and there was not a dry eye in the room!
Where do I even start with this session?! Jessica and Todd knocked it out of the park. Literally. We started off at Comerica Park (home of the Detroit Tigers) in Downtown Detroit for their engagement session and we had the whole place to ourselves!
Louis and I had such a blast together in Downtown Detroit taking his senior photos. He has the funniest personality and had me laughing the whole time. Especially when he had me convinced a piece of fish bait near the water was actually a dead fish.
