Sunday Afternoons At Al Sabo

Al Sabo Land Preserve - Kalamazoo (7)

Portraits

What do I do in Kalamazoo when it’s 53 degrees in December? I have brunch with this beautiful lady at Anna’s House (if you’ve never been here, go now! Zach and I just went for the first time a couple weeks ago, and now I’m obsessed. Everything I’ve had so far has be amazing!) and go […]

Amber + Tyler: Colorado Engagement Session | Red Rock Lake

Elopement Photography

Engagements

The air was crisp and cold, shimmering over the frozen Red Rock Lake during this gorgeous Colorado engagement session. Tyler smiled down at Amber before glancing over at me. “She has the most beautiful eyes, doesn’t she?”, he said as he pulled her in to kiss her forehead. (Queue all the heart eyes!) These two […]

Portland Wedding Videographer

Wedding Videography

I’m so honored when couples choose me to document their wedding day, so when Abby asked me be her videographer after I shot her sister Lillie’s wedding, I was thrilled. All of the pouring rain last Saturday couldn’t put a damper on this gorgeous Portland Wedding or on  Zach and Abby’s happiness because these two […]

Alyssa + Ray: PORT HURON WEDDING

Port Huron Wedding Videographer

Wedding Videography

This Port Huron wedding was the first time that I had ever been in Port Huron, Michigan. It was such a gorgeous day for a wedding. It rained some in the morning, so my drive was full of luscious, rain-drenched fall colors. Although, by the time I got to the DoubleTree by Hilton in Port […]

Gabby + Charles: A Country Mill Engagement Session

Engagements

There’s nothing quite like a Michigan apple orchard in the fall. So when Gabby said she was up for doing Country Mill engagement photos at their wedding venue (the Country Mill in Charlotte, Michigan), I got really excited. One, it’s always great to scope out a venue before the day of the wedding, and two, […]

Jordan + Joe: BACKYARD GLADWIN WEDDING

There’s nothing like Northern Michigan in the fall. It’s the perfect time for a backyard wedding! Joe and Jordan got married on Saturday in her parent’s backyard in Gladwin and had their reception at the Sage Township Hall and even though it was ridiculously hot for September in Michigan, their Gladwin wedding was as sweet […]

Wedding Photography

I´ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. There´s something so lovely about shooting a wedding in someone´s backyard. Sara and Jacob were married in the backyard at Jacob´s dad´s house. Their sweet, sweet puppies may have stolen the show, just a little bit. This lovely September day was absolutely perfect for a Lansing […]
