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
Savannah and Madison met in college when they both attended Michigan State. Madison asked Savannah out for coffee and she agreed. She later found out he didn’t even like coffee, but that first date was a good one and led to a second and many more after that.
Patrick and Alaina were married the Saturday before Christmas in downtown Detroit and it was the perfect mix of timeless with a few fun Christmas touches thrown in! The morning of their wedding started at Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center.
Monica & Minan brought Martha Reeves & the Vandellas “Dancing in the Street” to life earlier this month at their engagement session when Minan twirled Monica around in the crosswalk as they crossed the street. And what better backdrop for it than the city streets of Detroit that served as the inspiration for the classic Motown song!
Amonduez was born and raised in Detroit and Andrea is a farm girl at heart, so it was only fitting for these two to bring both of their backgrounds together for their engagement session! We started with classic city portraits in downtown Detroit on a rooftop to show off the skyline and then in the Belt before heading over to Belle Isle to finish the session in front of a gorgeous countryesque weeping willow!
There’s a Luke Combs song that I love that goes, “you roll in with your hair in the wind, baby, without warning. I was doin’ alright but just your sight had my heart stormin’. The moon went hiding, stars quit shining, rain was dropping, thunder ‘n lightning, you wrecked my whole world when you came and hit me like a hurricane.”
If there was ever a song to describe how these two fell in love, it’s this one.
Izzy & Drew were married in Downtown Detroit on a beautiful sunshine filled day! Izzy wore the most beautiful champagne colored tulle ballgown from Carolina Herrera that was adorned with gold beading and a matching gold beaded cathedral length veil. The veil was a gift from Drew and looked so stunning on her.
