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
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.
What’s better than one engagement session… TWO!! When I was down in Mexico in May for Athena & Vugar’s Cancun wedding, we did another engagement session down there and I just love how the images turned out! I swear the sun in Mexico is just next level!
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!
Happy Friday friends!!! I have another beautiful wedding to share on the blog today! Samantha and Adam were married this past Saturday just outside of Chicago (if you missed their downtown Chicago engagement session, check it out)!! The morning started at Adam’s parents where his mom helped him put on the traditional Polish wedding dress and Sam’s mom helped her into her gorgeous Olga Cassini wedding dress.
