Wedding Inspiration

This Stunning Photo Is From Second Shooting With Aislinn Timmons In Detroit Mi For A Luxury Large Wedding! 

To This Day, It Holds The Record For Most Photos I've Delivered For A Wedding And It Was Extremely Challenging Narrowing That Down To The Best 150 To Put On My Site. Now That It's Finished, I'm Happy To Present The Wedding Of Sosena & Hanok, A Two-day Wedding Celebration Featuring Traditional Ethiopian Festivities.

Silver Lake Sand Dunes Are One Of The Dreamiest Places For An Engagement Session!

Maddie & Devon Wanted To Have Some Italian Portrait Photos To Commemorate Their Time Living In Italy, So We Headed Out To Bellagio On An Unseasonably Warm October Day And Made The Most Of That Delicious Lake Como Light ✨

Winter Wedding At The Hotel Californian

Y’all! I Have So Much To Catch Up On… Like So Much! Admin Work, Gallery Peeks, Holiday Minis, And So Much Back End Admin Work. However I’m Still Working Behind The Scenes Just Sucking At Posting Here During Busy Season And I Promise To Do Better!!! It’s A Goal To Just Do Better About Showing Up!okay So Story Time! This Day Was Crazy! I Won’t Get In The Nitty Gritty But A Small Makeup Fiasco Combined With A Wedding Dress, Set Us Back By About 30 Minutes At The Start Of The Day… That Combined With Rain And Wind Gusts Of 30-50mph We Worked Hard To Get Them To The Chapel On Time And Still Get Some Photos. One Thing We Almost Missed On Her Must Have List Was With Her Adorable Heart Sunnies! So Just Before They Got Announced For Their Reception I Grabbed My Gear And These Images. I Had No Idea They Would Be My Favorites From The Whole Day!!!

It Took Me A Few Years, But I Finally Made A Visit To @hinokibird, Chef Brandon Kida’s Restaurant In Los Angeles. I’ve Been Meaning To Go Since Photographing Brandon & Rachel’s Intimate Restaurant Wedding Back In 2019, Which To This Day The Photos Remain As Some Of My Favorites. 

Kelsey + Mark Got Married Just Outside Of Detroit At The 5th Of Novi. Their Day Started With Kelsey Getting Ready At The Couples Home With Her Mom And Her Wedding Party While Mark Got Ready Near The Venue With His Wedding Party. since The Day Was Almost 75 Degrees And The Fall Foliage Was In Full Show Off Mode, We Headed To A Local State Park For The Couples First Look, Couple Photos And Wedding Party Photos. These Images Are Just A Snapshot Of The Fun We Had At Their Rooftop Ceremony Followed By Mark Jumping In To Play With The Jazz Ensemble At Cocktail Hour!

Greece, Mexico, Hawaii... We Can All Imagine How Fun A Wedding Associated With These Amazing Places Will Be! lettie And Dimitri Had A Fabulous Wedding On Oahu After A Long Wait Due To The Pandemic. They Incorporated Tradition From Both Sides Of The Family And A Touch Of Aloha Into Their Big Day. It Was Truly Special And Beautiful!

every Bride Should Have A Bridal Session! 

reagan's Beautiful Houston Texas Wedding Is Fast Approaching. I Knew She Was Stressed And Needed To Let Loose. What Better Way Than Put On Your Wedding Dress And Get Dolled Up For Photos? 

we Decided To Spend The Evening At The Water Way In The Woodlands, She Brought A Friend And We Just Walked The Area With No Pressure And Had Fun Chit-chatting And Taking Photos! 

so Why Do Bridals?

1. They Are A Complete Run-through! 
you Can See Your Whole Look For Your Wedding Day Come Together And Make Any Necessary Adjustments. This Makes Your Wedding Day Much Smoother And Faster For You, Your Hair Stylist, And Your Makeup Artist! 

2. I Will Definitely Get Photos Of You On Your Wedding Day, But, Let's Not Kid Ourselves, The Day Can Get Hectic And It Doesn't Leave Much Time For Photos Much Less Bridal Portraits.
scheduling Bridals Is A Great Way To Make Sure We Get A Lot Of Pictures Of You In Your Beautiful Dress Without Feeling Rushed! 

3. Your Bridal Portraits Can Be Put On Display At The Reception! 

4. Let's Not Kid Ourselves, Wedding Planning Can Get Stressful. Especially When You Are Only A Few Weeks Out. I Always Encourage My Bride To Bring Some Friends To Hype Her Up And Have Some Fun Without Any Pressures Of Things Being Perfect! This Is The Perfect Way To Relax And Unwind Before Your Wedding! 

so If You're Ever Wondering If You Should Take Advantage Of The Bridal Session, The Answer Will Always Be Yes! 

another Little Bonus:
sometimes My Brides Do Only A Few Shots In Their Actual Dress For Fear Of Messing Anything Up, And They Do Most Of The Photos In Their Reception Outfit Or Another Fun Dress!

If You Are Wondering If You Should Get Engagement Photos Done In Lake Como, The Answer Is Always Yes!

An At Dusk Dip In Late November!
