A Michigan wedding photographer specializing in clean, bright, and emotionally rich wedding photography for couples who value artistry, connection, and an elevated experience. I photograph weddings throughout Detroit, Grand Rapids, and West Michigan, working with couples planning celebrations at iconic venues, estate properties, and scenic destination locations across Michigan.

Couples choose me because they want:
➤ Clean, timeless images that won’t feel trendy years from now
