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
As much as I love my favorite spots in the city for engagement sessions, I love when my couples come up with cool, unique locations for their photos that haven’t been done before and are special to them! When Emily asked how I felt about the Detroit Zoo, I immediately said, “YES”!
This past Saturday’s wedding was a lifetime in the making. You see, Kaliana’s grandparents lived next store to Dimo’s aunt and the two of them played together as children. Kaliana had a little red Jeep that her and Dimo would drive around in as they played together and this past Saturday, they traded that Jeep in for a stunning baby blue 1950 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible they cruised Detroit in after they were pronounced husband and wife.
Alyssa & Tyler were married a little over a week ago on a beautiful, sunny Michigan summer day at Fox Hills Summer House. The week leading up to the wedding had rain in the forecast on Saturday, but thankfully the morning of, the forecast was clear except for one small stretch.
I had so much fun adventuring around the streets of Detroit with Isabelle & Andrew. It was raining sideways right before our session but thankfully the rain stopped just in time to get some amazing photographs! Isabelle loves my portraits downtown in the streets with the city as the backdrop and I was so excited to be able to create some for her and Andrew!!
Delani and Alan were married in Detroit a little over a week ago and let me tell you, I felt like I was photographing a Royal wedding!! Delani is such a classic beauty and looked like she could be gracing the pages of a 1960’s copy of British Vogue in every single photo I took of her & Alan.
