This blog post should come with a warning. To say that I only posted a handful of images we captured on Cecilia and Brad’s wedding day is accurate, because this is a long blog post and I truly only scratched the very surface of the images we took that day. As you scroll…
I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Meghan and Josh. They are the SWEETEST couple and as you will see from their day, it couldn’t have been a more fun-filled day of celebration. Their summer wedding was held at an always fave venue: BlueBridge Events Center in Grawn, MI, right on the edge of Traverse City. Their day was nothing but pure sunshine…and the summer heat! But not even some warm temps could keep these two from having the best day ever. And it was just that — the best day ever.
As a wedding photographer, I'm constantly on the hunt for locations that ignite creativity and inspire beautiful imagery. And let me tell you, Traverse City, Michigan, is a place that never disappoints. This little slice of paradise offers…
If there ever was a perfect day for a wedding, Grace and Robert’s wedding day was it. Which was actually funny because the forecast was calling for storms and GAIL force winds. Imagine that as your forecast for your wedding day! Well, we started off arriving at the Airbnb that Grace’s family had rented and of course you have the beach, an amazing home, and the anticipation of the celebration and you’ve got all the elements for an amazing start to the day. Grace has AMAZING style and I loved all…
Amanda and Sam are those kind of couple that is just FUN. We had the best time on their wedding day in Grand Rapids. The day itself was rain, then sun, then cloudy, then rain….and more rain. And it kept going in that pattern the whole…
To say this wedding day was an absolute dream is an understatement. I'll never forget our engagement session we had with these two, wandering around Grand Rapids capturing some amazing images and I had truly been counting down the days till their wedding day. Of course, the forecast ALL week long leading up to the wedding was a 90% chance of rain and
Every year, it’s always such an honor to photograph each couple on the most special day of their lives. It’s a privilege we don’t take lightly! And thanks to all my AMAZING clients, we’ve received a "Best Of Weddings” pick for 2019 from The Knot! I wanted to take a moment to spread the celebration (cue a ton of confetti!)
Earlier this summer, before the 4th of July hits and all of Traverse City and the surrounding areas becomes tourist central, we ventured out to the Sleeping Bear Dunes with Alexa and Jake for their engagement session. It was just SO perfect. There were a few…

We travel to Florida A LOT. Maybe not as much as some people, but I swear we are there at least once a year. We've been to several areas of the state, but a favorite of ours is the St. Augustine area. I love the history of it (if you really get to know me, you'll know that I'm an American History enthusiast) and of course is just really really cool. While the couple is planning their Michigan wedding for next winter, they are currently...
Summer in Northern Michigan is absolutely spectacular. It's the *perfect* temperature, low humidity (I mean, for the most part!) with endless beaches and water, pine forests, and much to see and do. So summer in Michigan is the perfect place for a wedding. But, as much as you try and plan out every detail of the wedding day, you also have to plan for rain. And that's what Rae and Steve had to contend with. Rain. And LOTS of...
Bailey and Ty's wedding on Drummond Island this past summer was like a wonderful family party. Partly because they have ties to Drummond Island so it was like seeing all the family members come back home for a celebration. And partly because their families and wedding party were SO FUN! The couple got ready at an intimate little church on the island (and if you've ever been to Drummond Island, it's an amazing spot with beautiful scenery and lots of outdoor adventures...and not a whole lot of population, so everything has that small town charm to it that only added...
Andria and Jim are quite possibly the most perfect couple you'd want to meet. They are the kind of couple you want to just hang out with and have fun. So sweet and kind and just amazing humans. After getting to know them better for our engagement session, my excitement for their wedding was easily doubled! I knew it was going to be a fun one...we were able to travel down to the Illinois/Iowa boarder for...
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...
When Brittany was in the stages of planning for her wedding, she and Nick decided on the gorgeous destination of Breckenridge, Colorado to tie the knot. She had found an image of this incredible mountain overlook and knew that was what she she wanted. However, this couple lives in beautiful Northern Michigan and still wanted their engagement session at "home". Initially Brittany contacted me just...
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...
If I asked you to close your eyes and picture a gorgeous bride, beaming with happiness, on a beautiful summer day, I'm pretty sure you would be picturing Gina. She was the picture perfect bride, and along with her now husband, made for an incredible wedding day! Their wedding, held on a windy and warm summer day in beautiful Grand Rapids, Michigan, was...
Kendall and Chase are absolutely a couple after my own heart. They love adventure (they've traveled all over the world together...even getting engaged in Paris!) and trying new things so when Kendall said they've never visited Traverse City, I knew...
