It all began with an email, a digital thread that carried the weight of Wyatt's hopes and dreams. Wyatt, an individual teeming with anticipation, reached out to me about orchestrating a proposal—a moment that would etch itself into the tapestry of his and Emily's lives.

Brian emailed me as a referral from the Whitney in downtown Detroit, he informed me that he was ready to propose to the girl he had been dating for the past 8 months, the Whitney is where they had their first date, and was looking for a photographer to capture this important moment in his life.

I got an email from Mira & Jeff this year at the end of April, looking for a last-minute wedding photographer to capture their “I do’s” this August. To my surprise, I was available and ecstatic to work with these two. From their initial email stating how they’ve known each other since high school, but it wasn’t until their early twenties that the stars aligned and they connected. To chatting with them about their love for each other and their wedding day plans. I knew that this was going to be a magical wedding to document.

I think memorizing who you are in this moment, capturing all of your imperfect perfections, and creating an artistic display of a romantic gesture are just a few of the things I love most about boudoir.

Boudoir can be a fun and empowering experience. It can help you feel more comfortable in your own skin and capture your essence in a tasteful and artistic way. It can also be a way to boost your confidence and self-esteem. I think that all of that confidence will flow into your wedding day and help you shine!

Haley and Andrew's Michigan, Game of Thrones wedding took place at one of their friend's properties where Andrew and his team practice Buhurt (a high-intensity sport) where you dress in full armor to fight with swords, axes, and spears. The wedding resembled the “Renaissance Festival” but really felt as if I was back in time during the medieval period. H & A Really gave it their all and kept attention to detail when putting together their dream wedding. Majority of the guests came dressed in full character, and it was just so cool to be around the energy and costumes! 

Kennyle and Andre's wedding took place at the Waterview Loft Port Detroit, located in Detroit, Michigan. K & A met at Detroit vegan soul. In Andre's words, he was having lunch one day at Vegan Soul (a local vegan restaurant.) and was seated next to a beautiful woman. (From what I understand this was his first time eating at the restaurant.) He proceeded to ask her for a suggestion on what to eat. When she suggested something he was allergic to he still ordered it. He wanted to Impress her by trying what she loved at the restaurant.

I've known Sarah and Josh for a while now. I first met Josh when I photographed Josh's brother's wedding. So I was super excited to hear that S&J got engaged and wanted to have me capture the story of their wedding day, as their photographer. Since I've known their families for many years. The photoshoot just felt like I was hanging out with some old friends, and capturing memories for them.

What can I say… Julie & Ankur’s love story was one story I was particularly excited to capture. I mean, Ankur’s very first email to me was all the way back in 2019!!!

I looked through Jarrett's portfolio online and knew immediately that I wanted to work with him for our wedding. He is very easy going in general and professional. He was with me basically the entire day of the wedding and his crew's presence did not feel overbearing or intruding at all.
