Stephanie & Lee: A Northern Michigan Intimate Wedding

Wedding Photography

Safe to say, the world has been a little crazy in 2020. Stephanie & Lee were my first official wedding back after all of the craziness that Covid brought the world this year. These two cuties were originally supposed to get married at the gorgeous Starry Night Barn & Studios here in Northern Michigan, but […]

Addie & Nick: Timberlee Hills Wedding | Traverse City, Northern Michigan

Wedding Photography

Addie & Nick’s gorgeous Timberlee Hills wedding was one of my absolute favorite weddings of 2019 and I’m not even close to being over how perfect their day was. From start to finish, I don’t think I’ve ever laugh/cried more behind my camera on a wedding day. From Addie’s stunning, one-of-a-kind dress, to her oh-so-sweet […]

Brandy & Victor: Aurora Cellars Wedding | Leelanau Peninsula | Traverse City, MI

Wedding Photography

Brandy & Victor’s intimate Aurora Cellars wedding was so stunning in spite of the freezing weather Michigan decided to throw at us. One of my favorite moments from their day was when Victor did a little dance on their way back down the aisle after being pronounced husband and wife! Be sure to find that […]

Megan & Rob: BlueBridge Wedding | Traverse City, Northern Michigan

Wedding Photography, Wedding Videography

Megan & Rob’s BlueBridge wedding and gosh, it was gorgeous! Wasn’t Meg an absolutely stunning bride!!? Both Meg and Rob are so classic and timeless and I’m still obsessed. My whole team agreed that Rob looked especially dapper. He actually really reminds me of a younger version of Justin from Justin & Mary (the photography […]

Bethanie & Brandon: River Edge Wedding | Lowell, Michigan

Wedding Photography

  Bethanie & Brandon’s late summer, River Edge wedding day in the Grand Rapids area was a perfect sunny day after a string of rainy, fall-ish days. We got to enjoy the last of 2019’s gorgeous, Michigan summer as we celebrated their River Edge wedding day ❤️ Both Bethanie and Brandon are so sweet, and […]

Carolyn & Kyle: A Hidden Vineyard Wedding Barn Summer Wedding

Wedding Photography

Carolyn and Kyle’s Hidden Vineyard Wedding Barn summer wedding was this past weekend, and may just be one of my favorite weddings this year so far. I’m still not sure I completely have the words for how beautiful their day was. But I’ll try, lol! A Grey and Blush Hidden Vineyard Wedding Barn Summer Wedding […]

Tori & Austen: A Spring Castle Farms Wedding | Charlevoix, MI

Wedding Photography

I’ve been so excited for Tori and Austen’s Spring Castle Farms wedding since the first email that Tori sent me asking if I was available on their wedding date. One, because I’m always beyond excited to photograph or film a Castle Farms wedding since it’s where Zachary and I got married ourselves (This gorgeous Charlevoix […]

Wedding Photography

If you’ve read through my blog before, you know that I LOVE a Castle Farms Wedding! One, because Castle Farms was our wedding venue when Zach and I got married, and two, well I mean…have you seen the venue? I feel like Castle Farms is this hidden treasure gem that we have here in Northern Michigan. […]

Emma + Joe: Northern Michigan Beach Wedding | Traverse City, Michigan

Wedding Photography

If there’s one thing that you can’t go wrong with in our beautiful State of Michigan, it’s a Northern Michigan beach wedding. 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 […]

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”? 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 […]
