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
I met up with Kalyn & Garrett recently to take their Fair Lane Estate engagement photos!! Kalyn loves the grounds there and I was so excited to capture her & Garrett’s love on their beautiful grounds! Kalyn’s bright pink dress (with the cutest bow) just popped amongst all of the greenery & flowers and Garrett even wore a complimentary tie to match her dress!
Lauren & Eddie’s Downtown Detroit engagement session was one for the books! Lauren wore the most beautiful long blue gown from Saks (my brides are seriously killing the fashion game lately) and it fit the vibe of their engagement session so perfectly!!
While coronavirus impacted Brooke and Gabe‘s original Chicago wedding plans they didn’t let it stop them from becoming husband and wife this past July! They moved their ceremony from the Odyssey River Boat cruising the Chicago River to the Chicago Yacht Club right on Lake Michigan and were pronounced husband and wife as the sun set glowed reflected off of the water.
My Best Friend’s Wedding. That’s how it all started with these two. Brooke was a bridesmaid in her best friend’s wedding & Stanley was a groomsmen in his best friend’s wedding. They met at the wedding & that night Stanley told Brooke he was keeping her forever!
Happy Friday!! I’m so excited to share Laura & Jeff’s Edsel & Eleanor Ford House engagement session on the blog today! They brought along their sweet pup and I could not get over how cute she was in photos!! I’m always so pumped when my clients bring their dogs, and this day was no exception!
Ashleigh & Jacob first met in the sixth grade. He was her very first boyfriend (for about 2 hours she joked) and years later when they were both in college at Michigan State, they reconnected and have been inseparable ever since!
