I’m a hopeless romantic, dreamer, and poet who captures the subtle beauty of life. I adore how love can be expressed between two souls even when no words are formed. It is a feeling of intense emotion, and that emotion is what I live to preserve. I strive to strike a balance between an editorial, artfully candid, and poetically posed approach while capturing the moments of your special day.
With over nine years of professional experience, I bring a refined, artful eye and an intuitive approach to every celebration I document. As a Traverse City and Northern Michigan wedding photographer, I’m inspired by natural light, the beauty of the Midwest landscape, and the thoughtful details that make each love story unique. My work blends fine art and documentary wedding photography, creating imagery that feels both effortless and editorial — a timeless reflection of your wedding day. Each photograph is crafted with intention, transforming your celebration into an elevated, luxury wedding photography experience that you’ll treasure for generations.
