Getting to know you with my ears and heart open to your wedding day dreams. Finding whimsy in the ordinary. Chasing light and love from Metro Detroit to Seattle, and everywhere in-between.

capturing your love as it feels,

because photography

isn't just an image.

It's getting ready at your grandma's house.

It's hearing your sister cry quiet tears as you say your vows.

It's the way you look into each other's eyes as you exchange rings.

It's your best man roasting and toasting you at dinner.

It's swaying in the last of the golden hour light of your wedding day.

It's the first day of forever..

and images that bring you right back to those moments you never want to forget.
