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
Kennedy & Dakota were married on the 2nd Saturday in November surrounded by all of their family & friends during a beautiful Garden Theater wedding in Detroit. Kennedy’s grandma, mom & sister were on hand to help her get her into her stunning lace cutout dress and tears fell from her mother’s eyes as she buttoned her daughter into the dress.
One of my favorite moments on Courtney & Joe’s wedding day was Courtney’s walk down the aisle. As she neared the front of the church (and her soon-to-be husband), she stopped in the aisle for a moment to lean over and give her grandma a kiss.
Beth and John got married last month in Downtown Detroit and I was so honored that I got to document day one of their marriage! From the moment I met with Beth at the wedding consult and saw her sweet and bubbly personality, I knew this would be a fun day and it didn’t disappoint!!
I met up with Kennedy and Dakota recently to take their engagement photos on the Michigan State campus where they both go to school and I love that they picked a place that is special to them! They first met there through a mutual friend and instantly clicked!
I get asked quite a bit for recommendations for the best Detroit wedding venues. Whether it’s brides inquiring who are booking their date around my availability, friends asking or Instagram followers reaching out, they all want to know what top wedding venues in Detroit a wedding photographer recommends.
2016… WOW. What a year!!! I still can’t believe how my business grew leaps and bounds in 2016 compared to 2015. It has been such a wild and crazy ride and I have all of my wonderful brides and grooms to thank for that!
