Erin & Robert were so fun back in July! We spent an evening exploring their families land and snapping some engagement pics. There was a few moments of fear for the weather. We saw clouds skies and possibly a light rain on the forecast. I could not be happier that we pushed through and held out anyway - because come on! We ended up with cloudy skies (not a bad thing), misty skies (too cool) and still got to end the night with a warm sunset (you know that's my favorite ;)). Ne

These two were married back in May (yes - I took my sweet time yet again to blog) at the beautiful Addison Oaks Buhl Estate in Leonard, MI. In fact, these two were married on an extra special day in my calendar - my mother's birthday! On May 10th, 2019 these two tied the knot outside on a perfectly clear day, followed by an indoor reception in Addison Oaks banquet center. With their closest friends and family by their sides, Joel and Ashley started their day off prepping insi

That's right - a carnival engagement session! These two were so much fun to spend our Friday evening with. Starting their engagement session off at a park in Farmington Hills, MI and then heading to a carnival hosted at Basilica of St. Mary Antiochia Orthodox each year was the perfect way to capture their fun spirits. While the festival did not have a ferris wheel (like seriously?) we still got some great shots of Josh & Kodie laughing the evening away, enjoying a ride that w

I had the pleasure of spending an evening at Stony Creek Metro Park with Jenny & Eric. Their wedding is in December, so sneaking in some warm, spring photos for their engagement session was perfect. Jenny had the idea of getting some shots of them walking in the water. While they may look happy (and I am sure they were overall), that water was absolutely freezing! Let's just say I'm glad I didn't have to get in to get those shots ;) #detroitengagement #engagementphotos #engag

Afraid of rain on your wedding day? We all are. Your photographer might have it on their mind more than you. Everyone loves the idea of beautiful images in their desired location, which more often than not is outdoors. A great alternative location for your wedding photos if their is rain or too poor weather to be outside is a library. This may sound funny, and perhaps not very "pretty" or "romantic", but allow these photos to get rid of those thoughts. Taylor and Joe were mar

Dan & Alicia had a beautiful November wedding on Belle Isle in Detroit, MI. With a ceremony in the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory and a reception to follow in the casino. Not only was the day itself wonderful, but so was this couple. Alicia and Dan have an obvious connection - as most my couples do - but also a unique one. Seeing them cry during their first look, giggle with inside jokes, and hold each other tight during their first dance, made it clear that they are mean

You. Are. Engaged. YEAUH! So exciting. I am excited for you! Whether I will be the one capturing your engagement photos, or another wonderful photographer will be, enjoy this guide and help of what-to-wear for your session. Now then, I am including some examples from a few different seasons. Being based in Michigan, I am not always blessed with perfect golden-hour-sunsets in the summer, or sparkly snow storms in December. Nonetheless, being in the business for a few years now

While it is already October, I am still going to post about a wedding from August because I absolutely LOVED every second of it and feel I need to share! Cody and Danielle were married on Friday, August 24th of 2018. This day was beautiful in every aspect - from the weather, to the colors of the wedding, to the couple themselves. Both the ceremony and reception took place at Sycamore Hills Golf Club in Macomb, MI. With an outdoor ceremony (in the best weather) and an indoor r

Angela and Bob were married on August 11th, 2018, at the beautiful White House Wedding Chapel, with a reception at the Italian American Cultural Center. These two were some of the most joyful people we have been able to hang around! After dating for some time, they decided it was time to tie the knot. Honored as always, we truly loved photographing this extremely special day, and had a fun time doing it! Every little detail was so special, from the pearls Angela wore, to each

My first elopement ever, and one of my favorite shoots so far. Amy & Randy have been together for 13 years, and decided to take the next step in their relationship: marriage. With just their two closest friends by their side, playing the part as their witnesses , this elopement was a surprise for the whole family to find out later on this snowy Friday. Captured at Van Hoosen Farms in Rochester, I was honored to play a part in their special day. #detroitphotographer #groom #br

I truly love that my job involves me spending an entire day with two people who are insanely in-love and happy. Nick and Katie have such refreshing spirits, making it impossible for someone to not smile while getting to know them. Enjoy these photos from their wedding day, that took place in mid-October at the Italian American Cultural Center. #weddingphotography #wedding #brideandgroom #bride #groom #beautiful #detroit #detroitphotographer
