That first snowfall of winter is a magical time in Northern Michigan. Fall is winding down and everyone is in anticipation of those first flakes. It's the *perfect* time for an engagement session as true cold temperatures haven't settled into winter yet, the snows aren't deep (mostly!) and there's no better reason to cuddle a little closer. We shot just about one...
I am SO excited to have Ryan and Nicole's blustery engagement session featured on Popsugar today!! This was such an amazing engagement session where they braved the brutal cold and wind coming from Lake Superior (and even Nicole in one heck-of-a dress!) and had a stunning session. Check out the feature below!!
Jocelyn and Tanner. One of the most perfect couples ever. I first met this couple when I photographed her twin sister's wedding (which was SO perfect and amazing in itself!) I love Jocelyn's family so I absolutely jumped for joy that I would be working with them again! We had chatted about doing this couple's engagement session on Mackinac Island and...
Jackie and Roy had the *perfect* day for their engagement session. I'm always a little bit on edge when a client is traveling for their engagement session, I always want the perfect weather for them, and Jackie and Roy totally hit the jackpot. It was perfect out. A gorgeous, endless summer day. I love shooting at the...
I love engagement sessions. I love getting to know my couples before the wedding day, and these sessions are so much more relaxed than a wedding day typically is. This means we really get to shoot without the pressure of keeping within a timeline, we can just kick back, relax, and adventure around, capturing my couples being...well, a couple! And I simply ADORED Samantha and...
Jessica and James. We decided on Grand Marais for the engagement session and I knew it was going to be amazing because...well, Grand Marais. It's gorgeous there. But the cherry on top was this perfect couple. We had an absolute BLAST shooting. It being still fairly early spring in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan...
Kory and Chelsea...I cannot say enough amazing things about this couple! I remember chatting with them about their wedding day during the engagement session (which you can view HERE if you wish!) and I remember thinking about how excited I was with all they described and had planned. As the big day drew closer and we finalized the wedding day photography details, my excitement grew and grew and this spectacular wedding did not disappoint! This wedding on this hot summer day was...
Haley and Sam are two amazing people that together make such a beautiful couple. Haley was one of my first 2017 weddings to book, so we've been looking forward to this engagement session for a few months now. When she mentioned doing the session at Presque Isle in Marquette, Michigan, I knew this would be an amazing session. I mean, Presque Isle is one of my FAVORITES to shoot at (I've blogged several sessions from there, you can totally see why!) and always love the chance to shoot there whenever possible. But also, I knew this session would be wonderful from corresponding with Haley these...
I love when a session with my clients gets published, and today it is one of our favorites of Joe and Teja in the gorgeous Marquette, Michigan. Thank you so much to Brown Sparrow Weddings for the feature...more
Teja contacted me mid-February inquiring about an engagement session with her and her fiance, Joe, and I loved the though of doing their winter engagement session at the Presque Isle in Marquette, one of the places they brought up as a location. Always a favorite of mine, for sure! Teja was visiting Joe from Minnesota, and like most sessions where they had a small window for the session so fingers were crossed the weather would cooperate for us. The morning of the session it was gorgeous. Sunny, and not a cloud in the sky! But it was COLD! On the way to the session my car registered below zero, but thankfully but the start of the session it had warmed up into the 20's. Still cold, but that sun did feel amazing!!
Joe and Krista's wedding day this past summer was as perfect as you can plan for. Their wedding (held on the shores of Lake Superior in Grand Marais, MI) was sunny and warm, and perfect for all their guests who came in to town to celebrate. The two themselves do not live in the Upper Peninsula, but wanted to have their wedding in Grand Marais, and I was so overjoyed the day started so perfect for them! But this story does have a few curve balls thrown in...continue reading quite the wedding day story!
Hi Friends! Coming up soon (March 12) we are hosting a beginner's photography course as part of MSU Extension program with the Winter Break for Knowledge. This is perfect for those who have a "fancy" camera and don't understand it or know how to use it. Do you already have basic camera knowledge? Not a problem, we will be covering composition and practicing shooting with the techniques learned in class! Click the picture for more info, or shoot us over a message!
This past summer, I had the honor of photographing Kory and Chelsea for their engagement session in Marquette, Michigan. It was a gorgeous day and we started off shooting at downtown Marquette and ending up down by Lake Superior. They are a beautiful couple, and their wedding day coming up later this year is going to be even more perfect than this gorgeous engagement.
Christmas Day in the Upper Peninsula is typically all things snow. And cold. And snow. Lots of it. This year is pretty much the opposite with above average temps and not a flake on the ground (see my previous personal blog post about our tree adventure!). So for a special Christmas adventure, we all piled in the car for a trek up to Lake Superior. One our most special and favorite places.
A gorgeous, simple, laid back wedding on the shores of Lake Superior...one of the gorgeous weddings we shot this summer in Grand Marais is featured on Midwestbride.com! Check out the link below <3

I love all the weddings we do...from the big to the small, the elaborate to simple. I think my brides all do an amazing job at making their weddings just the way they want and I love capturing it all. So when I get to tell my bride that their amazing wedding is being featured at theknot.com, that is even more amazing for the both of us!
Check out or recent wedding we did in Marquette, Michigan along Lake Superior. It was so special and wonderful. Full blog post is a few posts down on our page, but you can catch the "full" story from the bride and groom HERE on theknot.com
