Detroit Wedding Photographer and Storyteller
Hey, I’m Jarrett, your Wedding photographer
and an utterly hopeless romantic.
I’m a Ann Arbor and Detroit wedding photographer. Photography wasn't always my passion. But I did grow up with an immense passion for the arts. You could always find me with a pencil and paper in my hands. Whether I was drawing or writing. I've always been in love with creating things with my own two hands.
Before photography, I originally had my career goal set on becoming a head chef at a restaurant in NYC. However, in 2010 I had an idea that would change my life forever. I decided to take a leap of faith, I walked into a local wedding photography studio and asked for a chance to become an intern. The position was of course unpaid, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm, and long weekend hours. I worked there every day and every weekend honing my craft and paying my dues into an amazing art form that would become my food, dreams, and air.
Shortly after my first step into the world of professional wedding photography, in 2011 I decided to take another leap of faith. Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I packed my life into a single bag and bought a one-way ticket. 750 miles away, following my heart to Detroit Michigan to be with the girl who stole my heart and become a Detroit wedding photographer. I began planning to open my own wedding photography studio. Suddenly it came to me, Alice Heart Photography…
I am a loose-leaf tea connoisseur with probably too much tea to drink. I enjoy binge-watching spectacular tv shows until I can't keep my eyes open. The perfect date night to me is the cliché dinner and a movie. Other than my camera, my favorite piece of equipment is my car. I have a twin, she just happens to be seven years old, the love of my life, and my daughter. I have two mini me's who love to climb on things, just as much as I did when I was their age(s). I also have three pups - Akira, Nebula, and August. (It's starting to sound like a zoo in here.)
My top two favorite movies (solely based on nostalgia) are The Lion King & The Lake House.
I was born in LA, raised in both Brooklyn & Myrtle Beach, had an apartment in Charleston and have lived in Monroe, Northville, and Canton MI.
According to my father, the photographer genes didn't fall far, my grandfather was also a photographer.
I believe that with photography, I can capture timeless captivating moments that people share. Above all the photographic outlets, wedding photography is by far my favorite. Weddings are a celebration that two people share when they love one another so much that they must proclaim that love to the heavens and have an everlasting bond with one another. To me, it is one of the most beautiful life experiences one could ever hope for. I can't wait to capture the first day of the rest of your lives together.
