Well guys, 2020 wedding season officially kicked off yesterday! A couple month ago, no one knew if this wedding would be possible. It wasn’t exactly the  big Red Shed wedding Brett and Emma had originally planned, but it was a joyful celebration of their love nonetheless. Brett and Emma are college sweethearts. They met at […]

I usually do not blog weddings that I’ve done working as a second-shooter for another photographer; however, I had to make an exception for this absolutely gorgeous, historic mansion wedding at Venue3Two. Every detail was complete perfection. I just know this Pinterest-worthy wedding will be an inspiration to anyone planning their own wedding! It’s certainly […]

Meggan and Brent are two of the kindest, most hard-working people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Meggan recently graduated vet school, and she and her now husband breed goats! If you’ve been a follower of mine for a while, you may remember their adorable, goat-filled engagement session from last fall! For the last two […]

Fifty years. Having only been on this earth for thirty, it’s hard to truly wrap my mind around such a milestone. Page after page of […]

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 […]

I have to start this post by saying I meet the very best people while working on this fun business of mine. Rachel and Dino are no exception! I actually met these two last fall when I had the honor of photographing Brianne and Ryan’s wedding, where Rachel was a bridesmaid, and was really excited […]

I don’t even know where to begin when describing what an honor it was to photograph Katie and Brad’s big day. I met Katie via her cousin, who is a fellow photographer, and was instantly excited to work with her. She is the kind of person you are just drawn to – kind, bubbly, beautiful […]

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 […]

i BELIEVE IN LIGHT, laughter, having a great time AND
