With everything going on in the world I needed something to put my mind to. I was tired of cleaning out closets, and washing walls, so the obvious next task…my business! I want to share a few helpful tips for wedding vendors and small businesses in general that I have come across. Starting it off […]

Yes, we are Mid-Michigan wedding photographers but until recently it was rare for us to photograph weddings in our area! We photograph weddings all over Michigan and further but to be honest it was nice to have such a short drive in the middle of winter! Kyle and Kansas’s wedding day was not only sunny […]

We see several amazing and beautiful weddings every year! Because of this we get asked often by future couples “is there any wedding suggestions you have for us?” I usually answer with the same tip… the wedding cake placement.  This delicious part of the day often gets crammed in a corner. I get it, it’s […]

The bride and groom had been waiting for this day, and now that it had arrived even the water seemed happy. Andrew and Marlee […]

One of our favorite parts of living in Michigan are the gorgeous lakes and stunning views. Which means when a bride chooses her childhood home for pictures on the water, and then has her reception on beautiful Grand Traverse Bay, we are officially surrounded by all our favorite things! Water, stunning people, good music, and […]

I am often asked why I only shoot weddings, and to be honest it’s stupidly simple. I liked shooting weddings above everything else! I liked that it had emotion, details, constant movement (I thrive on that adrenaline!), storytelling and family all in one. Once I knew that was where my heart was I started to […]

I have always been self conscious of my name. Number one the spelling, no one ever spells it correctly, and number two it was very uncommon. It felt like a blazing sign, saying “LOOK OVER HERE!!
