BACK INTO FULL WEDDING SEASON!
Rylee & Nathan - Sneak Peeks

Rylee & Nathan’s downtown Detroit wedding at The Gem Theater was the kind of day you leave wishing you could photograph all over again next weekend - they were just thatttttt real.

Completely down to earth, effortlessly cool, and somehow better dancers than half the “hype people” I know. Truly. They came with moves, and contagious laughs.

One of my favorite details from the day, Rylee’s ring was crafted using gold melted down from her grandparents’ wedding rings. Such a beautiful way to carry legacy into a new beginning.

And the Gem Theatre? Historic Detroit magic at its finest. Velvet seats, gold ceilings, moody light, and the kind of atmosphere that makes every moment feel cinematic.

These two made the entire day feel easy, joyful, and genuinely fun to be part of. Hello 2026 wedding season, starting strong!

Are they just photos… or a gift to your future self?
Living in the days of blur and chaos, a pause on the things that feel ordinary now… but someday won’t ♥️

Give yourself or a mama in your life, the gift of living in a moment that someday she'll ache to remember.

Wrapping up mama & me minis- but would love to add more because moms need to feel the moments inside the frames, too!

Comment "MAMA" if you wanna get in on another round of mama and me minis!"

Up close with greatness in the making.

Still thinking about the energy in the room that night — moments like this don’t happen every day.

Grateful to be there to document it.

Last night felt like one of those “this is why I love what I do” moments.

I had the opportunity to photograph a University of Michigan National Championship event right here in Ann Arbor at DICK'S Sporting Goods capturing one of the team’s most outstanding players connecting with fans and signing autographs.

Moments like this are more than just events — they’re part of a city’s story. The energy, the pride, the families showing up… it was something you could feel.

Still kind of in a “why me?” moment about it all, but so thankful I get to do this.

Grateful to be trusted to document it.
