I. Love. Details. Wedding day details are what make each wedding day unique. A lot of time and planning goes into each and every part of a wedding day, and one of my favorite parts of being a wedding photographer is capturing all of those personalized details. I recently second-shot a wedding for my good […]

Some people are just lucky…. Sarah is definitely one of those people! We had a tough winter here in Michigan this year; the kind that lingers well into April and makes us wonder if we are going to forever live in an igloo… Sarah and I had optimistically scheduled their engagement session for the first weekend […]
