Your wedding is not a production. It is a living, breathing story unfolding in real time. I approach each celebration with quiet awareness, allowing moments to happen naturally while preserving them with care. The laughter, the nervous anticipation, the fleeting glances—these are the details that shape your story. Nothing forced. Nothing performative. Only what is honest and beautifully yours.
While my work is rooted in documentary storytelling, you will never feel unsupported. With over a decade of experience, I provide thoughtful direction when needed and seamless guidance throughout the planning process. From timeline refinement to location recommendations and trusted vendor insight, every detail is approached with calm expertise so you can remain fully present.
Your photographs are more than digital files. They are the beginning of a legacy. Each image is crafted with editorial refinement and cinematic depth, designed to feel timeless decades from now. These are the moments you will revisit, share, and hold onto—imagery created not only for today, but for generations to come.
INQUIRE — If you feel aligned with my work, the first step is to reach out through my contact page. From there, I’ll send a thoughtfully curated pricing guide tailored to weddings, elopements, or sessions. We’ll begin a conversation about your vision, your priorities, and the experience you’re hoping to create. I believe connection matters. This is where we ensure we’re the right fit for one another.
SECURE YOUR DATE — Once you’ve selected the collection that best suits your celebration, I will prepare a personalized proposal including your contract and invoice. Your date is officially reserved once the agreement is signed and the initial retainer is received. From that moment forward, you have my full support and guidance.
PLAN WITH INTENTION — We’ll schedule a consultation to discuss timelines, locations, lighting, and the overall flow of your day. I provide vendor recommendations and collaborative mood inspiration to ensure everything feels cohesive and aligned with your vision. My role is to make the process feel seamless and thoughtful so that when your wedding day arrives, you can be fully present, knowing every detail has been carefully considered.
THE SEASON IN BETWEEN — From booking to your wedding day, I remain available as a resource and guide. Whether you need timeline adjustments, vendor insight, location recommendations, or simply reassurance, I’m here. If your collection includes an engagement session, this is when we’ll document this chapter — creating space for you to feel comfortable in front of the camera before the celebration arrives.
THE CELEBRATION — On the day itself, my presence is calm, observant, and intentional. I move through the celebration quietly capturing moments as they naturally unfold, stepping in with gentle direction when needed. My focus is to preserve both the atmosphere and the emotion — so that when you look back, you remember not just how it looked, but how it felt.
DELIVERY & HEIRLOOMS — Your images are carefully curated and artfully edited by me. You’ll receive a beautifully organized online gallery to relive and share your story. For those who desire something tangible, I offer heirloom albums and fine art prints designed to preserve your photographs in a way that feels lasting and meaningful. Your memories deserve more than a screen, they deserve to be held.
All wedding packages include a booking consultation, an online gallery, a sneak peek of images within a week of the wedding, access to a lab for prints and albums, print release of professionally retouched images, exclusive print shop discounts, a wedding questionnaire, polaroid film from your special day, and my guidance during the planning process and designing of the wedding day timeline.

Yes. A second photographer can be added to your wedding or elopement collection and is often recommended for more comprehensive coverage. Having an additional creative perspective allows for greater depth in storytelling, capturing candid reactions and moments unfolding simultaneously while ensuring a seamless timeline.
Second photographer coverage is available for both half-day collections (3–4 hours) and full-day coverage (5+ hours), depending on the scope of your celebration.
Wedding collections begin at $2,800. Most couples invest approximately $4,000 to ensure comprehensive coverage, often including full-day photography, a second photographer, and an engagement session to document this season with depth and intention. Elopement and micro wedding collections begin at $1,800, with thoughtfully designed options that allow space to fully experience and preserve your celebration.
Custom collections are available for destination weddings and uniquely tailored events.
Yes. After the initial retainer is received to officially reserve your date, the remaining balance may be divided into scheduled payments for your convenience. I understand that wedding planning involves many moving parts, and I aim to make the investment process feel seamless and manageable.
For weddings and elopements, the final balance is due four weeks prior to your celebration. For portrait sessions, the remaining balance is due two weeks before the scheduled date.
Yes. Every final image is personally edited and thoughtfully retouched by me. I do not outsource my editing process, as maintaining a consistent and intentional aesthetic is an essential part of my work. I refine temporary elements such as blemishes or minor distractions while preserving your natural features and expressions. My approach is rooted in authenticity, enhancing each image so it feels polished, timeless, and true to you.
If there is anything you feel self-conscious about, I always welcome that conversation so we can approach it with care.
Yes. I am available for weddings and elopements throughout Michigan, across the United States, and internationally. While I call Michigan home, I regularly travel for celebrations in meaningful destinations. Travel fees may apply for events outside of the Metro Detroit area and are thoughtfully outlined during the booking process to ensure clarity and ease. My passport is current, and I am always honored to document love stories wherever they unfold.
For select destinations I am especially inspired to photograph, I offer reduced pricing on packages. If you’re planning a celebration in a location close to your heart, I would love to connect and share more details.
