Welcome

Your wedding day is full of fleeting moments filled with emotion that you will want to revisit for the rest of your lives. You have selected a fantastic location, invited all of your close family and friends, and staged the day with beautiful details. You have created a day of celebration that you will remember for the rest of your lives. And I am here to thoughtfully document the moments and emotion you are experiencing.

Your story begins first thing in the morning and does not end until the dancing is done. As your photographer, I am there to tell your story in photographs. To thoughtfully document the beauty of your day. I tell your story by capturing all of your precious moments so that you can look back on your entire wedding day and remember everything from the beginning to the end. I will also make sure we have time for those beautiful and amazing epic photos that are sure to be displayed on your wall. In the process, we will create a relationship in which you are at ease with me and I meld seamlessly into your day to authentically tell your story.

 

ABOUT Me

I call Michigan home, and for good reason. We are filled with amazing locations for Destination Weddings. From the amazing Caribbean blue waters of the Great Lakes (Lake Michigan, Huron, Superior, Ontario and Erie) to the gorgeous vineyards in the Leelanau Peninsula and the west side of the state, the vibrant cities of Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, to award winning golf courses, and the rocky shoreline of Lake Superior. This state is filled with a little bit of everything. You can generally find me with my husband the three children on a boat on Lake Michigan, or roaming somewhere around planet earth, traveling and exploring.

I love getting to know the couples I work with. If we are going to spend all day on your wedding day together, it will be much more enjoyable if we are friends! Let me treat you to coffee/beer/wine at your favorite spot (or I can suggestion one of mine) and chat about the two of you and your plans.

creating an album of memories

 

i love browsing through my wedding album and reminding myself of all of the amazing memories we had during our 3 separate wedding days. (Yes, we had 3 weddings! we like to celebrate.) Not only that, my children love to look at these albums with us and hear the stories about the moments they are seeing. albums are important. they remind you of an experience you had. there is something special about having a tangible book of images that you can browse through anytime, compared to pulling up archived photos on the computer. come and find out more about the albums we can create for you!
