Fall colors, dreamy light, and two hopeless romantics

Sarah and Tom have a deep connection to the city and to Belle Isle. When we spoke, Sarah told me that they grew up in families that did a lot of the same things together around the same events. They have so much in common! In fact, both of them initially went to school to […]

There are days Maria and I head to a wedding and we are meeting 300 new people.  For me, it’s like a party.  I love meeting new people, getting to document not just a couple, but the people that make their lives to rich.  And yes, we love the details. But Beth and Nick’s wedding […]

Grady and Cathy were married in a ceremony surrounded by their family and friends at the Meeting House Grand Ballroom. And at first glance, it looks like a normal wedding day.  But it really just wasn’t. Dad rehearsed his speech over and over hours before the ceremony.  Everyone teared up when dad saw Cathy right […]

When you are up north, Glen Arbor beaches make some of the best spots for family photos.  Love these folks!

Melissa + Steve talked to me just a few weeks ago about waiting for some gorgeous snow to hit for their winter engagement session at Kensington Metropark Since these two are planning a winter wedding at the Henry Ford Museum, we figured that we would just wait until Michigan showed up and gave us some […]

We grabbed the latest of the fall vibes in November and that sun was everything, and it worked out perfectly with their gorgeous natural color palette.  Congratulations, Alice + Moss!

The blend of David’s Chinese heritage and Andreea’s Romanian culture created a beautiful day rich in moments and memories.

Midland is a special place for Mike and Jill, so a reception at the H Hotel was the most fitting spot to celebrate tying the knot. It won’t take long scrolling through Mike and Jill’s wedding day to see that these two adore one another and laugh A LOT. Their joy is absolutely contagious and […]

With just months away from their wedding, we grabbed the last of fall goodness and met up to capture the two of them just the way they are. And it was good.

The Guadian Building Timmy and Taylor met at Michigan State, and the two didn’t take long to realize they were ideal for each other.  The morning festivities began at the Detroit Mariott on the water overlooking views of the city and the Detroit River.  The sun was shining, and the city was at its finest.  […]

Jackie and Taylor chose a late summer engagement session.  We watched the radar as a storm was blowing in, but clearly we are a bunch of risktakers–and everyone’s hair looked amazing. Even mine, and that was a small mirable. But truly, we spent an hour just enjoying getting to know each other, and I loved […]
