THE JOURNAL

I met Crystal & Patrick at Belle Isle for their engagement shoot a few weeks ago on a most perfect Friday night.  Everywhere we went, we ourselves surrounded by incredible light.  These two are getting married next summer in Downtown Plymouth, and they couldn’t be more laid back about their big day, and I feel […]

My summer was full of weddings big and small.  But the month of August brought me the sweetest intimate weddings right here close to home.  Like Dandan & Ken, who got married on a perfect Monday afternoon in Ann Arbor at Matthew Botanical Gardens.  The setting was beautiful, but not more beautiful than Dandan in […]

I had a good handful of intimate weddings this season.  And it was a breath of fresh air that was much needed.  Shelby reached out to me just a month before her wedding date.  And by a stroke of fate, I was open for it.  Her kind words as we worked together on the details […]

A few weeks ago, I traveled to the other side of the state to St. Joseph on Lake Michigan for Zach & Brooklyn’s shoot.  We had tossed around a few ideas ahead of time, she gave me a good vision for what she had in mind for the two of them.  All the good things […]

I’m so excited to finally share Stacy & Dan’s wedding from this summer at White Oaks Farm here in Dexter. It was one of the most laid back weddings to date, and I couldn’t be more thankful to have been there for it all. Stacy works on the Visual Team for Anthropologie and was referred […]

Whew. Cranbrook always makes […]

I met Kara & Luis last year for the first time for their engagement shoot in Detroit.  The minute they stepped out of the car, I knew right away that they were going to be amazing clients.  And that’s on top of the fact that they were referred by some of my best clients, Krystle […]
