I shot my first wedding in high school twelve years ago, and have worked with hundreds of amazing couples since then. I spend most weekends witnessing and documenting many unique, beautiful, sacred and intimate moments between couples and their loved ones and that just hasn’t gotten old. I believe whole-heartedly in un-coerced, honest wedding photos. I want you to experience your day and then see familiar photos of yourself and your people exactly as they are, without interruption. I would consider it a huge privilege and honor to be a witness and documentarian at your wedding.

I serve couples all over Michigan and the Chicago area, and am available anywhere. I am from Grand Rapids, MI, but I am currently based out of Saint Joseph, MI, where I live with my husband, Luke. We got married May 2020 on a warm and windy day on Lake Michigan with our parents and siblings present.

and read some kind words from past clients here.

— I love rich vivid color, snail mail, messy bouquets, key changes, and cozy lighting. A good thrift find, watercolors, the sound of a symphony tuning, and grainy blurry old photos.

— I’m very happy in a kayak, or on my yellow bike.

— I cried during Amanda Gorman’s poem on 1/20/21.

— I have around 15 pairs of glasses, give or take. Some people may say that’s too many, I think it’s fine.
