At the end of the night, I watched Nick and Ashley’s guests form a human tunnel and laughed as Nick and Ashley and their guests danced their way through the tunnel, smiling and laughing the entire way through. I thought “OH MY GOSH, this is literally the happiest day of people’s lives.” Of course I […]

Earthy, bohemian, nature. John and Danielle, you are speaking my language! When I photographed their engagement session last fall, I knew their wedding day would be incredible. Northern Michigan boasts some of the most gorgeous scenery and quaint little towns you have ever seen. So I was thrilled when Danielle told me their wedding would […]

“We are all tree people I guess!” Before the wedding, Jenny described the look and vibe of the ceremony, reception, and location of their bridal party photos. It all came down to intimacy and nature. And of course trees. Laura (my homie and second shooter) and I LOVED that trees were a huge part of […]

Huge congratulations to Dave and Elise and their lovely wedding at the Birmingham Country Club in Michigan! Venue/Catering: Birmingham Country ClubHair […]

Somehow Josh and Libby managed to combine three of my favorite elements into their wedding…backyard, quaint barn, and nature. AND then we add the most glorious decor/details (thanks to the lovely Ann Travis) and an incredible sweet and adorable couple…and the day was BRILLIANT. It was an honor for me and my second shooter, Laura, […]
