When Adam and I got married in 2009, I booked our wedding photographer entirely through emails (YIKES)!
I was planning an Ann Arbor wedding while living in Costa Rica – and video calls were not the norm that they are today. The experience was not a good one and our memories are not preserved the way I envisioned or expected. When I look at our wedding photos, I see way too many posed photos and a couple who is uncomfortable because we didn’t know our photographer. We didn’t even get the album that was supposed to be included in our package! I can’t tell you how much I wish we had had a different wedding photography experience.
Your forever photographer.
When I decided that I wanted to become a wedding photographer, I knew that my couples had to have an experience that would leave them feeling valued, loved, and served from our first meeting to well beyond their wedding day.
I wanted to provide an experience that I wish I could go back and have.
Because someone who knows and truly cares about you will be there to capture your story! All the beautiful details, authentic moments, and emotional memories of your day will be captured and preserved for you to share with your family, friends, and future generations.
