Dive into my story
If you are planning an intentional wedding right here in Traverse City or the surrounding shorelines, and you want photos that feel like the life you are building together, then I can't wait to meet you!
Many of my clients have been side by side for six to ten years, through life, family, and early career milestones. Now that we're talking about your wedding, this is a legacy moment, and you're all heading up north to celebrate! Whether you spend your busy workweeks in Detroit or Grand Rapids, or you're local to the area, your wedding day doesn't need to feel like a high-stress production. It should feel like an authentic day of love and celebration, because that's what it is.
You don't need a generic vendor who acts like an overbearing third wheel or makes superficial promises of instant best friendship. You need a trusted, local Traverse City photographer who respects the weight of this day, treats you and your crew like old friends, and who knows exactly how to guide and capture it all seamlessly.

Protecting Your Experience: A Relaxed Approach to Portraits
You don't need to speak the language of professional photography buzzwords to get exactly what you want.
Through my unique "Gallery Favorites System", I will bridge the common communication gap that couples and photographers face. You don't need to know how to describe what you want because I have a super simple system that lets you show me instead.
How does it work?
I send you a link to what I call "the master gallery". Within this gallery you simply "heart" the images you naturally gravitate toward. I translate those visual choices behind the scenes along with the answers you provide in your questionnaire to map out a custom photo plan that identifies how you want your entire day captured from detail flat lays to how I direct you for the portraits you'll love and the lighting choices I'll make when you're on the dance floor.
I do this differently too!
Instead of forcing you into a single, exhausting portrait session that rips you away from your guests for half the day, I break your portrait time down into manageable, bite-sized chunks.
This keeps you focused on your party, prevents your wedding from feeling like a forced photoshoot, and allows us to capture entirely different, breathtaking lighting as the sun shifts throughout the day.
If you want to know what this might look like for your day, then please click this text to schedule a quick call with me so I can get to know your plans and walk you through options that are custom to your day.
Your Local Traverse City Wedding Photographer
Photographing high-end weddings across the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas requires a seasoned professional who understands the unique lighting and logistical challenges in the area. I know how to navigate the harsh daytime coastal glare off Grand Traverse Bay, handle the intense hilltop winds of the peninsulas, and smoothly manage your timeline in the sprawling acreage of the region's premier venues.
Because my background has roots in professional wedding planning and early childhood education, I bring a unique mix of technical command and a warm, patient temperament. I do the mental math long before your day arrives, designing an air-tight, yet flexible timeline so you and your guests are never rushed or sitting around wondering when it's party time.
