Some weddings are beautiful because of the venue or the details. Others are unforgettable because of the people at the center of them. Maddi and Trenton’s nautical-inspired wedding at Bay Pointe Inn was both. As both Maddi’s cousin and her photographer, I experienced this wedding from a uniquely personal perspective, and every moment meant that […]

Some wedding days have a certain energy about them from the moment you arrive. Tonya and Andrew’s lakeside wedding at North Lake Events was one of those days. Throughout the entire celebration, there was a feeling that was impossible to miss: joy. Not just from the bride and groom, but from every person who came […]

I’m so excited to share these wedding photos with all of you! But more than just a pretty blog post, I feel like I need to share the story behind them and just how hard I fought for this to come to fruition. During Covid, like so many couples, my husband and I had to […]

When your love story begins on an island in the middle of the Great Lakes, you just know your engagement session is going to have some personality. I’m so excited to share this fun downtown Grand Rapids engagement session with you! Maddi and Trenton first met years ago while working summer jobs on Mackinac Island. […]

Every once in a while, I meet a couple whose story just fits. The kind of connection that feels easy, joyful, and deeply rooted in who they are. That’s exactly how I’d describe Maddy and Jack. They met through mutual friends, but it didn’t take long to see they were meant to be more than […]

Ireland wasn’t just another trip for us. It was five years in the making. Back in 2020, we were supposed to get married at Slane Castle. The pandemic canceled everything – you can read more about that here – and somehow we moved forward in life without ever having a wedding, or even wedding photos. […]

Some sessions are beautiful because of the light or location; others are beautiful because of the people. This Grand Haven beach engagement session at Rosy Mound was both. We had the best golden hour, a light lake breeze, and just enough clouds to make the sky dreamy. But it’s Cara and Jacob that made the […]

After weeks of hot, sticky weather and cloudy skies, Mother Nature finally gave us the perfect summer weather we all love! And just in time for Abby’s beach senior session! We had the most beautiful evening on the shores of Lake Michigan with soft sunshine, a gentle breeze, and temps in the upper 70s. It […]

Stephen and Alexandria’s story proves that love doesn’t always follow a straight line; it often circles back when the timing is just right. They met in high school. Drifted. Grew up. Lived life apart. And then, years later, something brought them back. Not to who they used to be, but to who they’d become. Their […]

There are some couples you never forget, and Mara and Jordan are one of mine. I photographed their engagement session and wedding back in 2017, and I still remember how easy they are to capture. Some people just come alive in front of the camera. These two? Like photographing actual models. Every time. That’s why […]
