I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Sami (and her incredible group of girls) for years, and if there’s one word that describes them all, it’s intentional. Kind, thoughtful, FUN — the kind of people who love deeply and show up fully.

Seeing Sami with Cody just makes sense. They fit. The way they listen, the way they move through the day side by side — it’s genuine, grounded, and so clearly full of joy. You don’t have to look hard to see that they truly found their person in each other.

A look into Wax and Mailan’s wedding day.

I first met these two at while photographing their dear friends’ wedding—Chris and Katie’s. Mailan was a bridesmaid. I insisted she grab a few photos with her date, Wax. Little did I know they weren’t even “officially” together yet… so yes, I’ll take a tiny bit of credit (😆).

Fast forward to their own wedding day in Ravenna, at the most charming venue—complete with a magical willow tree and highland cows. Their celebration beautifully honored both American and Vietnamese cultures.

Wax and Mailan complement each other in all the best ways. Truly a perfect match. I was honored to document their love.

Just a little tease from Mailan + Michael’s wedding day this past September in Ravenna.

We took these as we were waiting to walk into the reception. Saw the light and just HAD to. The florals, the light, the veil, the COLOR. Pausing for 2 more minutes of photos is always worth it 🙌🏼

Still catching you up on some goods from last year and this one is GOOD.

Alex and Alicia brought their party to the west side of the state to give their friends and family a wedding experience where they all felt they could get away and enjoy. Every detail was so beautifully thought out and timeless. Black and white (with a touch of green with Alex’s tux), a cathedral length veil, and long stem roses. Need I say more?!

These two love their people and they love big- evident in each part of their day. It was a true honor to document. Cheers to the Roger’s!

It’s a cold and rainy day here so I’m reliving Anne and Gabe’s engagement session. Pretty sure these two are absolute soulmates and I’m so lucky to celebrate their love with them! Also Lake Michigan was reallllly showing off for photos.

Been really MIA posting consistently and have been hogging so many pretty images that I should probably share. So feast your eyes on this glimpse into Lauren + Bijan’s incredible August day on the water.

Lauren + Bijan are both Michigan natives and planning a wedding back at home to be close to all of the people that mean the most to them was their top priority. All of the thought put into every detail and the absolute JOY and love they have for their people made this day such a dream to be a part of.

Also can we make it mandatory for all brides to have a bridal glove moment? Lauren was a knockout bride. Still swooning.
