I had the pleasure of photogrpahing Cassy and Shawn’s wedding on a summer day at Fallasburg Park in Lowell, Michigan. The park is situated on the Flat River which provided a beautiful backdrop to the ceremony. I loved the way these two look at and interact with each other. They were smiling and laughing together…
To a photographer, light is everything. You literally can’t take a photo without it, and the quality, direction, and color of the light can make or break an image… so the idea of photographing an entire wedding in a dimly lit basement with no windows in the middle of winter, starting after dark, and…
Karly has family in both the US and Canada so Sault Ste Marie, Michigan was a perfect place for her wedding to Erich. The ceremony took place at Lake Superior State University and the bride got ready in one of the guest rooms on campus. Karly’s mom helped her with her jewlery while her…
Shannon and Alex’s entire wedding day took place at the gorgeous Danada House in Wheaton, Illinois. It’s a great venue with tons of beautiful places to photograph, from the bridal suite with vintage damask wallpaper to the lovely gardens and ceremony space outdoors. I would definitely recommend it to anyone planning their wedding in the…

By looking at the photos, you might never know that Deborah and Stephen were married in December! There was no snow on the ground but it did get pretty chilly outside during portrait time. Luckily they had no problem snuggling up and keeping each other warm. Deborah got ready for the wedding at the…
This wedding was a joy to photograph. Nick and Taran are a very fun-loving couple that laughed together all day long and just had a great time together on their wedding day. I started with Taran getting ready at her father’s home where she grew up. Her sister helped her get dressed and the two…
It’s always fun to photograph a wedding at a unique location, and Andy and Danielle’s big day definitely fit that description. They were married at Stagecoach Stop Western Resort in Michigan’s Irish Hills area, southeast of Jackson. The resort is built to resemble and old-west town complete with storefronts, saloons, etc. It was kind of like being…
When Jon and Shea booked me for their wedding in New Mexico, I envisioned lots of sand, rocks, and cacti mixed with sweltering heat and maybe some crystal meth (sorry, huge Breaking Bad fan here). When I arrived at Manzano Mountain Retreat, however, I discovered a lovely ranch in the mountains with pine forests and…
