I’ve been so excited to film this gorgeous New Year’s Eve wedding since pretty much the very first email that Stephanie sent me asking about filming her and Brandon’s Waldenwoods wedding, and I remember thinking that I knew we’d get along when she mentioned in her first email how much she loves dogs. And I […]

Something that I’ve learned through all the weddings that I’ve photographed and filmed is this, “Weddings usually don’t go according to plan.” Typically there’s at least one unforeseen event that can throw off part of your day, if not your entire day. That’s just how weddings are. My job as your wedding photographer or videographer […]

One of my goals for 2019 is to get more personal in my business. I’ve never wanted to be a faceless company where you don’t know who you’re working with. I want all of my couples to know the face behind the brand and to feel like old friends after we work together. I love […]

When Carolyn and Kyle decided that they wanted to do a Michigan State University engagement session, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I’d never been on the MSU campus before, but oh-my-goodness was I surprised! The campus is absolutely beautiful, and there are so many great spots for photos! Carolyn and Kyle are both […]

One of my favorite things to do since Zach and I moved to Traverse City, Michigan has been to explore the gorgeous nature that surrounds this beautiful part of our state.

With over 3,000 miles of coastline, there’s no shortage of locations to choose from. Whether you want a friends and family wedding or an intimate elopement for just the two of you, our […]

Usually, on my blog, I’m writing posts for my brides and all of my amazing couples. This post is a little different though. This is a post for all of my fellow creatives and small business owners in the wedding industry. If you own your own business, you know how hard it is. You’re the […]

Kristen and Ryan’s downtown Traverse City Engagement Session was so much fun to shoot. It doesn’t really look like it in their pictures, but it was freezing the day we did their engagement session. We even got a little bit of snow towards the end of their session. They were troopers through (see what I did […]

What can I say about Kendall and Danny’s Fairlane Club Fall wedding other than, “It was perfect”? You never quite know what type of weather you’re going to get when you have a November wedding in Michigan, but the weather for their big day was absolutely beautiful and I had so much fun celebrating with […]
