It was a crisp 24 degrees with a slight breeze coming off the lake when I met up with these two cuties at the former historic mansion of Edsel and Eleanor Ford.

Read More. . . There was something so intimate and romantic about Abby & Felipe’s micro (or tiny) wedding day and the energy, to me, felt like a wedding my grandparents probably experienced after the depression; not a lot of fanfare, with just a simple, but beautiful commitment ceremony. Abby’s gorgeous lace dress and faux fur shawl along with the pops of red flowers in her bouquet, even felt vintage-inspired to me! I wanted to capture that feeling through my photography, and I made sure to focus on all the simple, candid moments that happened and to capture romantic portraits of the bride & groom afterwards! . . .
Read MoreI am so excited to share some of my absolute favorite images from my first wedding of 2020! Chelsey and Joe’s wedding day was such a special day that was filled with countless moments that turned from hilarious to absolutely touching and tearful. Chelsey prepared to meet her groom, Joe, at her parents home and had a special request for photos with her adorable pug, Phoebe, and she also wanted to make sure I got a few photos of her bridal details, especially her Louboutin shoes which she purchased in New York! Those red soled shoes (and all her other details for that matter!) gave me all the heart eyes. . .

Read MoreBefore Lauren and Marcus' engagement session at Belle Isle in Detroit, I sent them my Engagement Session Style Guide which includes everything from choosing the right location for your portraits to coordinating outfits to the little details you don't want to forget about. I think they totally ROCKED their engagement photos and can I gush one last time about their unbelievable outfits for a minute - gorgeous taste and Lauren has such an eye for style! I believe that because they were given the tools to prepare, that allowed both Lauren and Marcus to relax, be themselves, and to most importantly have fun at their engagement session! . . .
Read MoreI was so excited when Lexy and Alan set up their portrait session with me and that I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon photographing these two cuties! I feel honored to have been Lexy and Alan's wedding photographer this past May (see their wedding day here), their engagement photographer the summer before that (see their engagement photos here), and to be a part of such a special time in their love story!
