Angela & Charlie were my last video wedding of 2024 and we couldn't have asked for a better day! ❤️

Not only were these two the absolute sweetest, but I got to see 3 other at their wedding (2 previous couples and one 2025 couple) and it was the best!

I'm so excited to share the teaser for this romantic, emotional day! Congratulations, Angela & Charlie! ❤️

I've been looking forward to Sydney & Kollin's gorgeous Fountain Point Resort wedding since the end of 2022 when Sydney first reached out to me about doing video for her and Kollin's wedding day.

From their very first email, I loved all of the plans that they were making for their "Camp Jenson" wedding weekend especially with the dream team of wedding vendors that they'd already started to line up.

But this special weekend was so much more than I could have ever imagined. These two amazing humans are so sweet and kind (classic - literally always the best humans!) and everything about their day was absolutely perfect.

These two love big, and they are SO loved back by all their family and friends. I'm so honored to have gotten to spend such a special day with them!

Congratulations, Sydney & Kollin! ❤️

I am absolutely obsessed with all the gorgeous images from these sweet brides' wedding day! Their wedding day at the Royal Park Hotel turned out absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous day. I had the best time with Nina & Amber and all of their friends and family, and I'm so honored that I got to document this day!

Congratulations, Nina & Amber! ❤️

Stephanie & Dan were married on the gorgeous Leelanau Peninsula, in a place near and dear to their hearts. Their special day was full of family, laughter, and beautiful Northern Michigan sunshine. Sunshine on the water, dancing through the trees, and finally melting over fields of cosmos as it set over this sweet couple's day.

It was one of those magical days that you're just excited to be a part of. It was such an honor to document Stephanie & Dan's special day!

Congratulations, Stephanie & Dan!

I'm so obsessed with how this sweet couple's engagement session turned out! Danielle & Cody were so much fun to hang out with and get to know. These cuties met dancing in Traverse City and Cody was more than happy to show off their dance moves during their engagement session. Take a look through their photos to see that epic dip! I can't wait to shoot their wedding next July at Castle Farms!! ❤️

Catie & Jack were married at Bay Harbor on a gorgeous rainy afternoon. Going into this weekend, the forecast didn't look great but this sweet couple took it all in stride and decided to enjoy every second of their day, rain or no rain.

They had the most gorgeous wedding ceremony on the lake overlooking the foggy water. Everyone walked down the aisle with umbrellas, and Catie and Jack laughed through the downpour. The best part was that the rain cleared up as Catie walked down the aisle and then held off for the rest of their ceremony.

Even though the weather didn't fully cooperate, Catie and Jack absolutely radiated joy through every part of their day. They were so happy to be getting married and to be celebrating with all of their family and friends that nothing could put a damper on their special day. I'm so honored to have been a part of such a special wedding day.

Congratulations, Catie & Jack!

I'm still pinching myself to make sure that Lauren and Peter's spring wedding at Starry Night Barn and Studios was reality. Between Lauren's ideas and Stacy's planning, no detail was forgotten and every moment of this day unfolded like something out of a dream.

But beyond the exquisite details, the dreamy venue, and the perfect spring day, the best part of this day was the sweet, sweet couple and all of their family and friends who love and adore them.

One of my favorite parts of a wedding day is when the ceremony is done and everyone settles into the reception and we get to hear from the family and friends who love my couple the most. I love hearing the heartfelt stories and watching tears fall from the outpouring of love and emotion surrounding the bride and groom as they get to see and hear how much they are cherished.

It was abundantly clear from Lauren and Peter's wedding that they are sweet, genuine, humans who love hard and pour kindness and authenticity into their friendships and family and it's very much returned! That was what made this day the most magical! I'm so honored and blessed to be the keeper of those stories and to get to document days this special.

I'm so excited to share more from this absolutely gorgeous day!

Congratulations Lauren & Peter! ❤️

Some of my absolute favorite wedding days are the days that brim with all the emotions. Jennifer and Christopher’s wedding day was absolutely one of those days.

The weather may have not fully cooperated, and we may have all had to sprint indoors and relocate right when the ceremony was about to begin, but no amount of rain could overshadow the sheer and utter joy and happiness this sweet couple was surrounded by on their wedding day.

They are so, so very loved by all their friends and family. And in love. The love and absolute devotion these two sweethearts have for each other was so beautiful to witness and be a part of. What a perfect way to kick off my 2024 wedding season.

Congratulations, Jennifer & Christopher!
