This feels like the start of something great.

If you are here looking for a photographer who can fully capture the natural moments, anticipate emotion, and put you at ease so you are able to soak in all of the moments with your favorite people, then we may be a great fit! We are a husband and wife team who has spent the past 12 years capturing joy and love between over 400 couples. We currently live in Mid-Michigan but have photographed in cities across the world. We love working with lighthearted, joyful people who love to laugh and have fun, because we do too! Whether you’re having an intimate celebration or a big, grand event, we'd love love love to meet you!

I care about how your photos feel.

I go into every session and wedding with intention and truly want people to feel comfortable, seen and feel like themselves in front of the camera. I pay attention to the little moments. The in-between times, the laughs and tears that you may not even realize are happening, because sometimes, those are the ones that matter the most. I get so excited about story telling and being able to capture moments that feel genuine.

If you’d like to meet in person, or over the phone to tell us more about your vision, I would love to get to know you.
