The Eastern Detroit Wedding Alex and Lauren were all about making sure their big day was one for the books, something that would keep their loved ones talking for ages to come. So, they decided to tie the knot at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in the New Center area, and then celebrate at […]

Lots of Hugs, maybe a few too many kissing photos, and a really perfect sunset in the city.

Michael and Hailey planned a winter wedding in Detroit. Plans changed, but their love did not.

Some vintage shoes, a leopard print coat, and super cute folks make a really fun afternoon!

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 […]

These two are bold and totally full of life. Like, the kind of folks that will get on shoulders on the dance floor on their wedding day.  And show off their real attitude, huge grins,  and deep love all of their people.  Jon and Moriah were married at Gem Theatre. Tim Dew, a dear friend, […]

You would never guess that Michael and Rachel were just friends for the longest time….and that they just chatted over skype while Michael was playing hockey in Minnesota.  He asked her out….oh, like a million times according to Rachel, but she thought he was joking…every one of those times. Well, I guess once she thought […]

These high school sweethearts were married at Silver Shores in Wyandotte on a beautiful summer day.  Amy is an event planner and spent months planning for this particular day….and she knew what she wanted.  She wanted to marry the love of her life and make sure that all of their people had an incredible time.  […]

Grosse Ile Yacht Club Wedding   For the hundredth time (or at least what feels like the hundredth time), I want to tell you my absolute favorite moment of all time on every single wedding day.  It’s the image of the most elated couple who were just pronounced married (YESSSS!!!!!!) and coming back down the […]
