Meet your Detroit Wedding Photographer, ultimate cheerleader, and trusted confidante
Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but trust me, it's a journey best taken with a smile, a stiff cocktail, and a fun-loving wedding photographer. I'm not just your photographer, though – I'm your confidante, your cheerleader, and your guide through the beautiful chaos of planning the most important day of your life! Let's work hand in hand to make your timelessly represent such a momentous occasion, ensuring that every moment is as unique and remarkable as your love story itself.
ALL OF THIS STARTED WITH A DREAM TO CAPTURE LOVE-FILLED DAYS AND GET TO KNOW SOME PRETTY AMAZING PEOPLE ALONG THE WAY…
When I became a wedding photographer back in 2012, I never could have imagined ending up here. “Here” as in having couples-turned-lifelong-friends, shooting at the most beautiful wedding venues in Metro Detroit, and fueling my passion for travel by adventuring from coast to coast. It’s such a dream and a privilege to serve couples like you on a daily basis!
Before we go any further ...
Here's what you should know about me
I love all things love
I know that sounds cheesy, but it’s true! I strive for my couples to see themselves through my lens and be blown away by their beauty, connection, and love for each other. Weddings are a tangible expression of just how much love two people can share - who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?!
I’M A MOM TO THREE AMAZING, TINY HUMANS AND WIFE TO ONE LOVING HUSBAND
Being a mom has its perks - one of them being I’m no stranger to unhinged chaos and keeping my cool when being pulled in a million different directions. Trust me, your wedding day will feel like a normal Tuesday to me! Even if you’re planning a wedding from out of state, I’ve got you! I understand the whole process and challenges of planning such an important event firsthand. I planned my own Detroit wedding while I was living in Atlanta, Georgia, so I know the struggle! My amazing husband Joey has been by my side since the beginning of my business, always supportive throughout the long wedding days, late editing nights, and everything in between. I could not continue to follow my dreams without his amazing love and support.
COFFEE, COCKTAILS, AND REALITY TV ARE MY ULTIMATE GUILTY PLEASURES
I know that sounds cheesy, but it’s true! I strive for my couples to see themselves through my lens and be blown away by their beauty, connection, and love for each other. Weddings are a tangible expression of just how much love two people can share - who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?!
I’M AS ORGANIZED AND DETAIL-ORIENTED AS THEY COME (WHILE STILL KNOWING HOW TO HAVE FUN)
I put my Type-A couples at ease with my extreme attention to detail and organization skills that stem from my years of experience in the wedding industry. I can guarantee you won’t find another Detroit wedding photographer who’s been around the block quite as many times as I have with my fun-loving and easygoing personality. When you hire me, you get the best of both worlds!
Yes, you’ll receive absolutely gorgeous and jaw-dropping wedding photos - but honestly, the images are just the cherry on top. When we work together, you can expect an attentive, intimate, and streamlined experience from inquiry to gallery delivery day. On your wedding day, not only will I take the lead in making sure you’re having the best time ever, but I strive to connect with your friends and family members just as if they were my own!
From the moment you inquire to beyond gallery delivery day...
you’ll be treated like family.
“Her personality is one of a kind. She was super calming during a stressful day and made sure everything I wanted was able to happen!"
Emily + Ryan
“As we planned our big day she was organized, quick to respond to emails, and shared lots of helpful tips. She was also so excited for us!”
Lindsay + Eric
“She is so fun to talk to and so kind, we loved having her spend our day with us! Our families loved getting to know her as well.”
Cristina + Eric
We'll definitely get along if ...
You’re not rushing the planning process - Instead, you’re putting a heavy emphasis on all aspects of your wedding day. Your venue, florals, and details are just as important as hiring a reliable & experienced vendor team!
You trust me enough to vent about your wedding-day worries - As much stress as I take off your plate, I don’t expect you to be perfectly worry-free all the time. Instead, when you’re having a less-than-ideal day, let’s hop on a call and you’ll have free reign to vent about whatever’s on your mind.
You want an outgoing, exciting friendship with your wedding photographer - All my favorite couples are ones who were EXCITED to work together not just based on my work, but my personality and desire to get to know you as well. Ideally, you’ll trust that I have your best interests at heart and am always available to lean on for suggestions and guidance leading up to our wedding day.
