In 2026, couples are designing celebrations that feel deeply personal, intentional, and unforgettable. It’s not about ticking boxes or following trends — it’s about creating moments that truly reflect who they are.

As a photographer, I’m here for those authentic exchanges, the intentional details, and the unscripted magic — because the most luxurious moments are the ones that feel true to you. 💫

Best wedding day tip from a photographer?

BUILD IN BREATHING ROOM

The moments that photograph best are never the rushed ones. Padding your timeline by even ten minutes lets nerves settle, hair fall back into place, and real emotion come through instead of stress.

When you give yourselves space to slow down, you get more than pretty photos—you get to actually *feel* your wedding day. And that’s what you’ll want to remember.

Hello! I’ve been quiet on here for the best reason 🥹 We welcomed our third baby into the world. I’ve been enjoying the baby snuggles with my sweet family.

I’m so grateful for the chance to slow down, be present at home and enjoy this season of life. Thank you for your patience as my responses are delayed for the next bit.

But YES, I am still booking for 2026 & 2027 from Chicago to Grand Rapids 💙 Please reach out via my inquiry form on my website

Focus on each other, not the lens. The magic happens in between the moments ✨

Since becoming a parent, these moments throughout a wedding day mean even more to me. These are the little moments that won’t be on your shot list.. the ones that happen organically, the ones that spring up tears, the ones that make you belly laugh.

As your photographer, I promise to be observant and look for these in-between moments that really matter.

I only take one wedding a weekend to ensure you have my very best. You deserve to have wedding vendors who are fully present for your big day!
