Why Us?
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime symphony of emotions, moments, and connections that deserve to be remembered exactly as they unfold. We don't just take photographs; we craft visual love stories that breathe with authenticity, emotion, and the unique rhythm of your relationship. Our lens becomes a storyteller, capturing not just images, but the unspoken language of your love - the stolen glances, tender touches, and spontaneous laughter that make your connection extraordinary.
Every wedding is a deeply personal narrative, and our photography is an art form dedicated to preserving the essence of your most intimate moments. We understand that your love story is wonderfully unique, and our mission is to honor that uniqueness with images that are as genuine, passionate, and extraordinary as the connection you share. When you choose us, you're not just hiring a photographer - you're inviting a storyteller who will transform your most precious memories into art that celebrates the depth and beauty of your relationship, creating a visual legacy that will be treasured for generations.

FAQ
How do you photograph weddings?
From the moment you book me, my goal is to make the entire process as seamless and enjoyable as possible, so that you can truly focus on the magic of your day. I believe the best wedding photos come from a calm, stress-free environment, which is why I’m with you every step of the way—from the planning stages to the final moments of your celebration.
Before your wedding day, I’ll send you a comprehensive guide to help you organize your day in a way that makes the most of your photos. I’ll share tips on the best times for couple portraits, how to work with different lighting conditions, and how to style your details, like your dress, shoes, and invitations, to create the most stunning images. I absolutely love receiving sneak peeks of your details—it’s so exciting to see what you’ve chosen and to start envisioning how it will all come together!
On your wedding day, I’m there to capture the full spectrum of emotions—your excitement, the quiet moments, the fun and chaotic moments, and everything in between. I focus on real, raw emotions and candid moments that tell the unique story of your day. Whether it’s a tender glance between you and your partner or a wild celebration with your loved ones, I want my photos to reflect the genuine energy of your wedding.
I specialize in a non-traditional, laid-back approach to wedding photography because I believe it’s the best way to document your day in its truest form. No stiff, posed photos—just real moments that feel authentic to you. My style is relaxed and unobtrusive, so you can be yourselves, enjoy the day, and know that I’m capturing everything that makes your wedding uniquely yours.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I’m based in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan, but yes, I absolutely love to travel! Whether you’re planning a destination wedding, an elopement in the mountains, or a beach celebration across the country, I’m thrilled to be a part of your story, no matter where it takes place.
If your wedding is outside of the Traverse City area, I do charge a travel fee, which varies depending on the location. But don’t worry—I always make it a priority to find the most affordable travel options, so I can be there without breaking the bank. Traveling to new places for weddings is such an inspiring experience, and I truly believe it helps fuel my creativity, making your wedding photos even more special.
Wherever your wedding takes you, I’m excited to travel and capture your day in a way that reflects your unique love story!
When will we get our photos?
Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within maximum 8 weeks (sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story). You can download all the photos from the gallery but also share them, choose your favorites, and also order prints!
How many pictures will we receive?
The number of photos you'll receive can vary depending on the flow and unique moments of your wedding day, but on average, you can expect around 65-100 images per hour of coverage. That said, I never limit myself to a set number—if there are more beautiful moments to capture, I’ll be there to document them! My goal is to tell the complete story of your day, from the quiet, intimate moments to the big, celebratory ones, and I’ll happily share as many stunning images as I can.
Ultimately, it’s about quality over quantity. I focus on delivering a collection of photos that truly reflect the emotion, beauty, and authenticity of your wedding day, and I’m excited to give you a gallery that you’ll cherish for a lifetime!
How can I get you booked?
Booking with me is simple! To secure your wedding date, we require a 30% non-refundable deposit. This deposit ensures that your date is reserved exclusively for you, as I close my calendar to other couples once your wedding is booked.
For the remaining balance, I offer flexible payment plans to make things easier. You can break up the remaining amount into smaller payments up until 2 weeks before your wedding day. I want to make sure the process is as stress-free as possible, so you can focus on enjoying your wedding planning without worrying about finances.
Once your deposit is made and payment plan is set, you're officially on my calendar! I’ll then send over a contract for us both to sign, and we can start planning your dream photography experience together!
