Before I left their wedding, I looked at Cassie + Austin and said,
"There could've been 10,000 people here... or just the two of you. Your love still would've filled the room either way."

And I meant every word.

A funeral director and a police officer - two people whose careers ask them to carry so much for others - have built the softest, safest kind of love together.

Every time I turned around, they were finding each other again.
A quiet hand squeeze.�A glance across the room.�A laugh only the other one understood.�Never too busy to choose each other.

Their story began with a Bumble match in 2019. Since then, they've built a life filled with family, friends, weekends in Saugatuck, and a home rooted in showing up for the people they love.

Getting to witness the day they promised forever was such an honor.

Cassie + Austin, thank you for trusting me with your story. I hope these photographs always bring you back to the way it felt - to the people who surrounded you, the joy you shared, and those quiet moments where it somehow felt like you were the only two people in the room. 🤍

This stunner of an engagement session has officially been delivered! 🤍

I cannot wait to celebrate with Kevin + Arwa not once, but TWICE more as they begin their wedding celebrations - first with their Sangeet celebration, then again for their wedding ceremony and reception!

These two have the kind of joy that's completely contagious. They make every moment together feel effortless, and it's been such a privilege getting to know them. I already know their celebrations are going to be absolutely incredible, and I can't wait to document every part of them. ✨

One of my favorite things is when my couples come to me with the little things they genuinely love. Pizza? Absolutely. Ghost Energy? Even better. (and still trying to get them to sponsor this wedding 😅) 🤍 Those little pieces of your everyday life are what make your engagement session feel so personal and uniquely *you*. That's the kind of storytelling I will never get tired of, and I am absolutely living for it.

It was an absolute honor to be asked to photograph Brooke + Jason’s 20th wedding anniversary!!!

Brooke is a creative I look up to so much, her work is truly stunning so when she reached out to me to photograph my signature champagne spray for their anniversary it was an instant yes! It can always be intimidating photographing someone whose work you admire. But it was nothing short of absolute perfection!

Cheers to this wonderful, fun and beautiful couple and to so many more memories and anniversaries!!

🍾 🤍

Marketing has been really competitive lately.
So I’m stepping up my game.

Aaron & Emma, one year later.

This shoot started as pure inspiration, but really, it became a celebration of two people I absolutely adore.

Emma’s dress alone deserved another adventure. A 100% silk Monty Durham gown, yes, Say Yes to the Dress Monty Durham, that moved like an actual dream.

But more than the dress, this was about them.

I first met Aaron and Emma over two years ago at a bridal show, and somehow they’ve become so much more than clients.

They’ve become friends, biggest supporters, and such bright beacons of love in my life.

Getting to create these for their one year anniversary felt incredibly special.

Aaron & Emma, thank you for trusting me again, for showing up with so much love, and for letting me celebrate you in this season too.

Happy one year. 🤍

Published with WeddingDay Magazine!!

Some love stories seem destined from the very beginning, and for Carolyn and Elliot, fate had a funny way of bringing them together. Although they grew up just 15 minutes apart in their hometown, the pair didn't meet until they both transferred to Michigan State University during their sophomore yea...

Dark academia, but make it a wedding ✨

Deep greens. Rich burgundy. Stacks of books. Gold. Ballgown. A celebration that felt like it belonged between the pages of a classic novel.

Bailey & Ethan, thank you for inviting me to tell your story. Wishing you both the very best as you begin this next chapter together. 🤍
