Jessica and James beautiful August wedding with a Catholic ceremony. Such a fun day. It was killer hot and we were all so thankful for the A/C in the flat and we were able to stay inside and take pictures in the cool air… but also WAY COOL architecture. So fun having this stunning Three Oaks Michigan venue so close to home.

This sunrise Shenandoah National Park gave us was so moody. It gave us so many colors and versions of itself the first half of our session before the sun slipped behind the morning clouds.
This hike ended up being a little longer than we originally thought, but I loved hitting the trail with Shelby + Daniel in formal wear. And that waterfall. Heart eyes!
Sweet Bella. This beautiful high school senior was once my neighbor and I BABYSAT HER. And now she’s graduating high school. Does that make me old? The kids I babysat are graduating????
Back in 2009 I was in the beginning days of my photography journey. I took a film photography class. I carried my dad’s old 35mm film camera with me everywhere. I was at the park with Bella and I snapped a darling photo of her sitting in a playground tube. (I have the negative still. I should reprint and share!).
And this summer I got to take her senior pictures for her 13 years later. I love when life comes full circle like this. These moments are beautiful and I am trying not to take them for granted.
When Aaron + Jess told me that they weren’t wanting a “traditional” engagement session, they gracefully let my creativity take over. We headed down to Weko Beach to do some star watching. It also gave me some time to practice my flash photography game. I’m loving this flash photo trend and can’t wait to incorporate it into more of my weddings and sessions for my 2023 season.
Aaron + Jessica’s wedding was beautiful beyond words. They were so fun to work too. Aaron had all the planning bits down to a T and Jess’ beauty and charisma were contagious.

Dana + Trenton were so fun, lovable and goofy! It was beautiful to witness them commit to each other on such gorgeous day at Fernwood. The way they laughed together, 🥰 the way Dana smiled at Trenton 😍 how Trenton would look at Dana with admiration 😻. It was all so adorable and I love that capturing love is my job.

So excited to shoot Luke and Emily’s wedding this fall at Revival Wedding Barn. I haven’t photographed there yet and it just looks so beautiful!
This was my first wedding at the new Watermark Solarium venue. It was so beautiful. I love photographing at new places. It was 90 something degrees out on Erika and Elijah’s wedding day and humid as h*ll. The bridal suite ended up being our main spot for photos to try to keep cool on the day. And I wasn’t complaining about all that gorgeous natural light in there.
