Weddings

Kurtis + Adriana

2020 has been more than just a bit strange.  There has been so much that folks everywhere have learned to hurdle and help each other through.  Kurtis and Adriana’s wedding wasn’t unique in that–they did have to make changes to their original plan.  They sure did move everything to an outdoor space in Ann Arbor.  […]

Engagements

Adriana + Kurtis

Adriana told me a little bit about how she and Kurtis met. They were both involved in college athletics and friends had told them they needed to meet.   Neither were looking to be in a serious relationship….but this gathering happened. I am guessing one or two of those friends planned this party as a way […]

Garret + Sarah | Waldenwoods Winter Wedding

Snow-flakes Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Out of the bosom of the Air,       Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken, Over the woodlands brown and bare,       Over the harvest-fields forsaken,             Silent, and soft, and slow             Descends the snow. Even as our cloudy fancies take       Suddenly shape in some divine expression, Even as the troubled heart doth […]

But […]

Weddings

Josh & Alex | Kensington Hotel | Ann Arbor, Michigan

It’s all of the little moments and little things that define who we are as humans and who we are together. And for Josh and Alex, they have a lot of those already as a part of their story. My favorite little tidbit is that these two go way back to 6th grade, and Alex […]

Mark + Kimberlee | Weller’s | Saline, Michigan

“All, everything that I understand, I only understand because I love.” -Leo Tolstoy It’s one of those things I read recently.  It just struck me as honest. I don’t know Leo and why he said those words, but I like the words. There are definitely things that I know for a FACT I wouldn’t understand […]

Autumn & Ryan: Ann Arbor

Autumn and Ryan drove a few hours from the west side of the state to get in front of my camera. And boy, the trip must have been relaxing. The first images right from my camera proved that these two are not only in love but just naturally comfortable in front of the camera.  These […]
