Welcome to my blog!
I photograph...

because a memory should never be lost.
because love is all we need.
because today will be gone tomorrow.


You may remember these two beautiful people from their spring engagement session. I'm delighted to share their wedding with you! Gina and Jeff got married at the gorgeous Waldonwoods Resort in Hartland. They had a lovely outdoor ceremony and tented reception, they do such a great job over there, and the sun made everything even more perfect! Enjoy this sneak peek, and don't forget to click on their slideshow at the end!

You might remember these two from their Detroit engagement session. I was seriously geeked to start this wedding, I waited so long! The Max M. Fisher Music Center is so phenomenal, since the day was so warm we shot mostly everything indoors and it was lovely. :) I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we did shooting them!

Venue: Max M. Fisher Music Center
Dress: Ysa Makino
Cake: Domestic Arts, Tanya is a sweet genius!
Band: Main Street Dueling Pianos
Flowers: The Bride... for real, Jenny made all the bouquets! :) the ladies helped with the centerpieces.
Wedding Planner: the delightful Amanda at
