Kristen + Ryan: Downtown Traverse City Engagement Session | Northern Michigan Photographer

Engagements

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 […]

Kendall + Danny: A Fairlane Club Fall Wedding | Dearborn, Michigan

Wedding Photography

What can I say about Kendall and Danny’s Fairlane Club Fall wedding other than, “It was perfect”?

Maria + Jeff: A Southern Michigan Wedding

Maria and Jeff’s southern Michigan wedding was one of my favorite September weddings this year. It’s been a year full of beautiful weddings, but this wedding, in particular, was so special for me.

Gabby and Charles’ Michigan Orchard wedding was about as cute as June weddings come here in Michigan.

Dusty Blue Michigan Beach Wedding Inspiration

  I don’t know about you all, but I’ve been really into the dusty blue wedding trends that have been going around lately. So when I decided that I finally wanted to put together the wedding shoot that I’ve been thinking about doing for a couple of years, I knew that a dusty blue Michigan […]
