John and Emily’s winter wedding was perfectly sunny and gorgeous! It started out a bit brisk, but by lunchtime, it was amazingly warm for February! From Emily’s getting ready room to the toasts at the end of the reception, it was clear that John and Emily are so loved by their community. It is always […]
Rodney and Shamber came to their engagement shoot very prepared and, because I had worked with them before, we were able to jump right in to all of Shamber’s creative ideas! From fancy milkshake date to a darling bakery and a fresh garden, I had so much fun running around Lansing capturing their relationship. These […]
When I took Luke and Katie’s engagement photos in March of 2020, we had no idea how much plans would change and get all switched around. They decided to go ahead with their original wedding date in early spring, but since they could only have a few members of their immediate family present, they decided […]
While we like to focus more on candid moments and emotions on a wedding day, Xav and I always try to take a few minutes to capture some of the special details as well. The wedding rings are always a highlight of the detail shots because of the significance of what they mean. So many […]

Three weeks before three months ago (so a freaking long time ago according to math), Xav and I were desperate for an out of […]
All my brides know, I am obsessed with wedding dresses! Whenever I get a pre-wedding sneak peek of the dress, I feel like squealing! Picking my top dresses of the year was incredibly hard because I loved each one SO much… but these four were especially unique and special to me. Megan’s dress was stunning […]
While wedding cake is by far the most traditional wedding dessert, so many brides are opting for additional desserts that reflect more of their own personalities! We love seeing what our couple come up with for their extra sweet treats of the night! Billy and Nicole had a beautiful spring wedding with lots of woodsy […]
Everyone knows by now how much I love first looks!! A first look is a special time when the couple gets to see each other and spend a few moments “oohing” and “aahing” over how great they look and how excited they are to get married in a little bit. We always stay back during […]
