Alex and Lauren’s The Eastern Detroit Wedding

The Eastern Detroit Wedding I’m thrilled to share the celebration of Alex and Lauren’s wedding day at the stunning venue, The Eastern, right here in the heart of Detroit. As a Detroit-based wedding photographer, capturing moments is my passion, and Alex and Lauren’s wedding was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I met Lauren, […]

Engagements

Jen & Steve

Early May is a perfect time for engagement sessions in Michigan. Normally, the weather is mild and the flowers are just beginning to show off.  These two chose to meet me at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House, and the grounds were delightful.  Our two hour time block flew by, and I know that these […]

Engagements

Chad + Elizabeth | Edsel + Eleanor Ford House

I have found the one whom my soul loves – Songs of Solomon 3:4   If there is anything written that speaks more deeply of marriage in one short sentence, it is this one.  I could read it over and over every day and just appreciate the gift we have in marriage. It is so […]

Candice and Travis

Ok, these folks just made my whole week. We planned like crazy for an engagement shoot that really could be like no one else’s.  Candice is a foodie.  Not just she likes to cook a little or eat good food sometimes…but I think she actually made her own hazelnut spread to bring on their first […]

Matt and Amy

Matt and Amy were married in an intimate ceremony this summer. Some of my favorite parts of the day were understated, but the best.  Amy got ready in a quiet room.  Matt and his mom had their own moment before the ceremony (which I just was thrilled to be able to catch that as I […]

Nick + Kiah

Elaborate large planned events have changed, and at first, I was disappointed.  As a part of my job, I get to attend and work at some huge celebrations with a […]

Ben + Hannah

Ben and Hannah’s wedding day was lovely. It looked a little different maybe than what they had planned, but I had said it 100 times this year. The joy and happiness of these more intimate weddings have highlighted some of my favorite things about wedding days.  Pivoting kind of stinks, right?  But we get to […]

Emily and Joe

Emily and Joe As I sit here thinking about what I could possibly say to tell you about Emily and Joe, I am extremely conscious of my lack of words that could make you understand the depths of their sweetness with their loved ones and each other.   So, thankfully, I know you can look through […]
