From meeting Kim in high school, to joining up with her and Michael for their engagement photos on Belle Isle last year, to finally capturing their wedding day this year, it’s a blessing and an honor to journey along with people towards one of their most special days.

From the very first moment I arrived, I knew Becca and Jonah’s wedding day was going to be something special. I get to see so many different celebrations — from rustic Northern Michigan weddings to modern downtown Detroit days — but this one felt uniquely timeless. It was classy, subtly elegant, and just a little bit chic, the perfect reflection of Becca and Jonah themselves.

I first met Kaylee and Mitchell last summer during their Belle Isle engagement session, and right away I knew they were something special. They’re one of those couples who are just easy to be around — relaxed, joyful, and always laughing together. Their connection is so natural, and photographing them feels like hanging out with old friends. Their Packard Proving Grounds wedding this past July was every bit as fun, heartfelt, and full of personality as they are.

It all started with an inquiry from Kristen. The moment I read it, I knew I wanted in on this adventure. Matt and Kristen had this vision of an intimate celebration that was all about their family and friends and a day that just felt fun, which totally set the vibe for the whole day.

There’s something incredibly grounding about a wedding surrounded by earth, rain, and real emotion—and Hannah and Micah’s wedding at Goldner Walsh Greenhouse in Pontiac, MI was exactly that.

There’s something effortlessly timeless about a wedding that strikes the perfect balance between classic style and modern charm—and that’s exactly what Hannah and Drew pulled off on their big day in Grand Rapids.

A beautiful snapshot of Julie and Greg’s wedding day. This was a wedding day where I was continually surprised. Surprised by the number of family and friends surrounding Julie and Greg. Surprised by just how elegant it all was. Surprised by the incredible floral installation. Surprised by how vibrant and full of life the party was all night long. It was just, so good.

There's something truly magical about a winter wedding, especially when it takes place in the breathtaking beauty of Michigan. To kick off the 2025 wedding season, I had the incredible opportunity to photograph Nicole and Evan's wedding at the stunning BlueBridge Events, just outside of Traverse City.
