about
From the beaches of Mexico and the city streets of London to historic Detroit ballrooms and private estates in Northern Michigan, I've captured love near & far for chic, modern couples who appreciate timeless imagery and classic styling.
A childhood hobby of art directing photoshoots of my little sister (classic younger sister problems) with my polaroid camera and later a point & shoot led to a lifelong love of photography and creating art.
After college and a career in celebrity PR and pro hockey, I never imagined I'd become a wedding photographer, but the past 7 years have taught me
that there's nothing I adore more! I would call it the best job ever, but it doesn't feel like a job to me. More like hanging out with a friend on the day she marries the man of her dreams and having my camera in hand to document it all!
I run on equal parts iced chai tea and green juice, live for afternoon movie matinees, never miss an episode of The Bachelor and will hop on a plane any chance I get. Oh, & I whole heartedly believe I get to work with the most amazing couples in the whole world.

One of my favorite things to do for both work & pleasure is travel! I've been to 9 countries & 33 states and have been lucky enough to photograph couples in 7 (soon to be 8) countries & 11 states! I always have my bags packed for the next adventure! Here's what's still on my list:
