These two.  Jeff and Kelly have been together for a while. In fact,  I had the privilege of meeting the two at a family wedding a few years back and could tell even then that this day was coming.  The two wanted a wedding day that reflected who they were but it was most important […]

Tarik and Becca’s wedding day was in the making for several years. They made sure that the details that would showcase who they are were throughout the day.  Becca had fabric from her Nonna’ shirt, a charm from her other grandmother, and earrings from Tarik’s grandma. The pillow that the ringbearer carried was made from […]

June 4th was a good day. Ben and Kristen were married at Old St. Mary’s in Detroit and the ceremony was performed by Ben’s uncle.  Father reminded all of us in attendance of their story–you know the high school sweethearts that people knew this someday–their wedding day–would come. The two ventured on through college and […]

Sometimes, later, I ask my couples what their favorite part of their wedding day was, and the answer often varies and are sometimes even different  from what I think they might be.  But with Adam and Jenna’s day, even I couldn’t pin point the best moments.  Jenna is one of most emotive and fun person […]

Two love birds, the most delicately feminine colors, and lovely ceremony near the golf course made for Alyssa + Derek’s day to be perfect.

Matt and Jess were married at Fox Hills In Plymouth.  They are quite the sweetest couple, and after their engagement session (go check it out here), I knew their wedding would be gorgeous. And it was.  Lovely details, adorable shoes, sunshine for portraits when we needed it.  I loved seeing dad’s joy when he saw his […]

If I could have dreamt sky and sunset that took my breath away, it wouldn’t have been as magical as what we saw at Kensington was for Emilie and Nick’s engagement session.  We needed to go outdoors–it’s their passion. It’s what they love.  In fact, they met canoeing and it didn’t take but a few minutes […]

Friday morning.  That’s the day I got out of bed and raced through the usual coffee and other morning routines. I skipped my usual lazy scroll through Facebook.  I think I was even too excited for breakfast. Pretty typical wedding morning for me, but it wasn’t a typical Friday. Or a typical Detroit wedding. Shelley […]

Sometimes fate takes you hundreds of miles from home and puts you right where you need to be to meet the person who is going to change your life. Jake is from Iowa and Claire is from Michigan. They met by chance, or maybe by design, when they both joined AmeriCorps to live in tents and help […]

Oh my gosh, you guys! You might remember Kelly and Michael from the cutest ice skating engagement session this winter. It was so cold, barely 20 degrees but it felt like it should have been in the negative digits. Well, they’re back in front of my camera for their spring mini session and they have […]

Goodness. I can’t even think of words that get close to describe Shelley and Joey’s session.   It all came together just right.   Perfect little white dress.  Amazing clouds in the sky. Have I mentioned that I am addicted to the big puffy white clouds?  Well, they sure showed up!  Oh, and we can’t forget […]

Still one of my favorite afternoons in Livonia.  Doug and Addie’s engagement session hit home. These history loving folks hung out with me at Greenmeade and spent the afternoon showing off how much they dug each other. Months later I am still loving the gorgeous light we found and took advantage of.  These two have […]
