Hi.
I’m still alive and still shooting photos. I’m just not a fan of Facebook lately (or any socials) lol

ANYBODY ELSE TIRED OF ADS? OR GOING ON INSTA OR FACEBOOK TO LOOK AT FRIENDS PHOTOS AND ITS JUST ENDLESS TIKTOK VIDEOS? 😢

In other news Stephanie + Alex were so fun to work with and I can’t wait to capture their special day!

Now booking weddings for 2025, I’m only taking a handful more next year so hit me up if you wanna work with me. ❤️

Remember when it was warm out three days ago?
Yeah it was nice while it lasted, it reminded me of warm summer weddings and this one was a banger!
I love when I get to shoot with friends, I even got on the other side of the camera for a few which never happens!
Caleb + Britt let me know if you wanna get married again lol

We’re having a good time. 👋🏼
Shooting these made my fingers go numb, worth it.
Fat bikes are fun but even better with friends.

POV you’re the artsy couple of the friend group ✨

Catching up on fall weddings and reminiscing of when I had the privilege to capture these two beautiful souls get married at one of the coolest venues.
Also I really need to post more on here!

A weekend in Traverse City with the Phipps fam.
Love these people and at this point I’ve probably taken 5k or more photos of them, wouldn’t have it any other way ❤️

What I’m working on today ✨

I shot Jene’s parents wedding 10 years ago!
Feeling nostalgic and proud of how far I’ve come in the industry, I’ve shot weddings with 3 broken bones, through covid cancellations, all day rain, 100° heat, very tipsy brides, grooms forgetting their tux and so many other wild stories I could go on for days.
BUT I WOULDN’T TRADE IT FOR THE WORLD.
If you have ever been in front of my camera all I gotta say is thanks for believing in me. ❤️

Happy one year married to my love ❤️
Got a fancy shmancy hotel, lost money at the casino and danced our butts off this weekend. Wouldn’t have it any other way 🤘🏼

Excited for wedding season and cant wait to capture some love this summer

Abby + Dakota
These two were so fun & I can't wait for their wedding day!
I loved what Abby said so I stole her instagram caption lol

(When I met Bobby over 10 years ago, I said “You’re going to be my photographer when I get married.” The time has come, so of course he’s our photographer! I’m so excited to have Bobby capture Dakota and I in our element, I mean JUST LOOK AT THESE! & this is only the sneak peak?! 🥹🫠💖)

I love an in home session!
When Hannah reached out to get her grandparents an anniversary session for Christmas, I was stoked to get out of the house and go capture some love.

Heading back to the frozen mitten today, so happy I got to shoot some pics for my sister and her fam while I was here. ❤️

Madison + Erik
This day was WINDYYY, but we found cover and shot in between the gusts of wind and the sunset was perfect. 😍
These two can jump in front of my camera any day!

22/01/2023

This snowy weather has me reminiscing on this chilly but gorgeous wedding day!
Shooting at one of my favorite venues in the area, with just enough snow cover to get the look they wanted! These two were so good in front of a camera and they actually met (or started dating can’t remember which lol) at a wedding I did a few years ago! 🤯

Caleb + Emily
Brought the 🔥 to their engagement shoot!
I’ve been good friends with these two for years now.
I’ll never forget the amount of laughs we’ve shared and just wholesome times together.
Fun fact Emily used to be my boss, and I literally gave Caleb the shirt off my back once!
Two seconds into a photoshoot their dog Nelly jumped up on his brand new WHITE SHIRT.
I know Caleb would do the same, can’t wait till they say
“I Do” ❤️

29/11/2022

These two were precious! ❤️

Nothing but laughs and smiles coming from both of them all day.
Im guessing they don’t have facebook but Elmer + Phyllis it was an honor capturing your love. 🤘🏼

These people know how to throw a wedding! If you are thinking of Traverse City for your big day get ahold of them!

There are weddings, and then there are WINTER weddings.

05/06/2021

Just finished some photos I cannot wait to share with y’all! I worked a long day and I came home and literally couldn’t stop editing. I love being this excited, and for something I call work? Nights like these really makes me appreciate life.

Time for bed, going to be a fun/warm wedding day tomorrow! ☺️

I’m so happy to be (almost) booked up this year thanks to some truly awesome clients. ❤️

If you are thinkin about booking me shoot me a message let’s shoot some photos!
