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
Five years looks good on these two!! From a fateful meeting one night out in Royal Oak, to playing Survivor together, celebrating five years of marriage after a beautiful Colony Club wedding and now a baby on the way (you have to follow their surrogacy journey on Jaclyn’s Instagram), there’s lots to toast about!!
Mesha & Greg had a beautiful sunshine filled day in Detroit this past August for their Colony Club wedding! The day started at the Westin Book Cadillac downtown where both Mesha & Greg got ready with their wedding party. Mesha’s bridesmaids hung the cutest pink balloon letters that spelled out bride over the bed & tons of white balloons everywhere and one of my favorite moments of the morning was when Mesha stood up on the bed and started dancing in her cute robe out of excitement that she was going to marry Greg that day!
I don’t even know where to start this one!! Derek is the brother of one of my best friends growing up and I’ve known him since he was little. I was so excited when he reached out to me almost 2 years ago about photographing his & Chelsea’s Colony Club wedding at the end of June!
Jessica & Brennon were married this past Saturday at the historic Colony Club in Downtown Detroit. The Colony Club is one of my favorite venues (that blush toned ballroom and those ornate golden chandeliers ?) and it never disappoints! A string quartet played as Jessica’s dad walked her down the aisle towards a waiting Brennon.
Alyssa first met Patrick one night at Michigan State when he was visiting his cousin, Melissa, who was also one of Alyssa’s best friends from her sorority. Alyssa thought they were dating and Melissa laughed as she explained that he was actually her cousin!
Angela & Courtney wed in early April just outside of Detroit. Angela, in a beautiful Essense of Australia dress from Kleinfeld Bridal & Courtney, in a chic custom designed white jumpsuit with train, shared a sweet first look in their hotel suite in Detroit that had Angela wiping back tears.
