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
It was a day filled with love and laughs as I photographed Kena and Stephen in Downtown Detroit. I was originally supposed to photograph their wedding in Boston, MA but due to some family circumstances, they ended up having a very small and intimate wedding a month earlier and then meeting up with me in Detroit (Stephen is getting his MBA at The University of Michigan, my alma mater) so Kena could wear her dress and they could still have wedding photos taken.
Sarah & Brian’s engagement session was SO good!!! We started downtown at one of my favorite geometric structures that was just the perfect backdrop for Sarah’s beautiful, flowy cranberry hued gown. The slit in the dress was perfect for getting some movement in it & added a bit fo drama & magic to their photos!!
Okay, I’m obsessed with this engagement session! Mya & John are the cutest couple ever (I seriously love all of the happy, laughing photos of them). Mya is so sweet and you could tell how in love these two are in the photos!
If Shelly looks familiar, it’s because I photographed her sister Jessica’s engagement photos in September! After I took Jessica’s photos, Shelly emailed me to see if I was available to take engagement photos for her & Joe too!! I had so much fun getting to know the both of them & think it’s so fun for them that they’re engaged & wedding planning at the same time!
Happy Monday!! So excited to share Fiona & Carl’s wedding on the blog today!! I think I got the most DM replies to a story ever when I shared a sneak peek on my Instagram the night of their wedding that showed their beautiful tented reception!
Hot town, summer in the city!!! I met up recently with Shannon & Kirk for their Downtown Detroit engagement session on a beautiful summer evening!! We started in Hart Plaza capturing some more playful photos of the two of them reminiscent of summer love before heading over to the Detroit Institute of Arts around sunset for a more romantic setting.
