Daniel + Kylie | Old Mission Peninsula

We spent just a few hours with Daniel and Kylie on their wedding day, but even within that short span time it was evident the amount of thought and intention they had put into every detail. Full of color, joy, and thoughtfulness

We spent just a few hours with Daniel and Kylie on their wedding day, but even within that short span time it was evident the amount of thought and intention they had put into every detail. The sun was shining on this gorgeous August day at a family member’s property when they got married. Instead of traditional boutonnieres, Daniel and his groomsmen wore fishing flies to honor his late brother, an avid fly fisherman. Their entire wedding ceremony honored Kylie’s heritage and their precious pup even joined in the fun for their vows, finding a cozy spot to nestle in at the bottom of Kylie’s dress. Though the time we spend with them on their wedding day was short, it was oh so very sweet—full of color, joy, and thoughtfulness; it was a special one to witness and document. Congratulations, D+K!

Leo + Maya Wedding | Traverse City

Leo and Maya’s wedding day was so full of joy, color, and vibrancy. These two were intentional about every detail of their day, from a private ‘first touch’ in front of the church, to carving out space after the ceremony to slow down for portraits just the two of them beside the stained glass windows. We left with the fullest of hearts, so thankful to be invited into such special occasions such as these.

Leo and Maya’s wedding day was so full of joy, color, and vibrancy. These two were intentional about every detail of their day, from a private ‘first touch’ in front of the church, to carving out space after the ceremony to slow down for portraits just the two of them beside the stained glass windows. Colorful candles burned slowly during the night through emotional toasts, shared laughter, and a dance floor that was never not packed. Leo and Maya’s people sure do know how to celebrate them. As the night ended and Maya sent me home with some extra floral centerpieces, we left with the fullest of hearts, so thankful to be invited into such special occasions such as these.

Paul + Aleah | Traverse City Wedding

Settled in the woods overlooking the water sat the charming cottage home that Aleah grew up in. Every corner of the home was filled with character and intention. Curated with antique ornate frames, old books, and the most romantically decorated rooms, it was the perfect setting for Paul and Aleah’s wedding.

When Paul and Aleah reached out, their plans were coming together quickly with a date set only a few weeks out.

The had a dream and vision and it all came to life so beautifully.

Settled in the woods overlooking the water sat the charming cottage home that Aleah grew up in. Every corner of the home was filled with character and intention. Curated with antique ornate frames, old books, and the most romantically decorated rooms, it was the perfect setting for Paul and Aleah’s wedding.

Upstairs in her childhood bedroom, Aleah was a Jackie Kennedy inspired vision of a bride. After settling on the perfect earrings and grabbing her bouquet, she came out to the balcony where Paul caught his first glimpse at his bride. Later, beneath a colorful canopy of trees Paul awaited his bride. Her aisle: a stone archway seemingly straight out of a storybook and steps that led down the path to her groom.

To create thoughtful, artful portraits of the two of them in such a beautiful and personal location was a very special privilege. We are so thankful to have been invited to witness and celebrate and be a part of Paul and Aleah’s story.

Jane + Ben | Romantic Traverse City Wedding

Their wedding day was an overflow of all these good things. Watching the two of them together and everyone surrounding them, it was clearer than ever that God brought them together and it was always meant to be, Jane and Ben.

I remember when Jane first told me about Ben.

Soon after, I had her over for coffee and we talked about the first time they met. Her eyes lit up as she described their very first date.

Later on, we had the two of them over and talked for hours over homemade pizza and wine. We bonded over our mutual love of coffee, people, and Jesus. Late into the night, as we sat around the dining table, they shared their story with us once again.

Our first time meeting face to face as at their engagement session in Glen Haven. Here we got to witness first hand how these two loved each other—with depth, with honesty, and with romantic intensity.

We spent the evening laughing hard, climbing the dunes, and photographing the insane chemistry between the two of them.

As the sun set them aglow in a deep crimson, Luke and Katherine held each other close and drank it all in: the sunset, the peaceful quiet of the evening, and the countdown until their wedding day.
