Wedding Season is in Full Bloom in Michigan

There’s just something magical about a Michigan wedding season — and this year has been nothing short of incredible!

As a wedding photographer based right here in Waterford, I feel so grateful to be surrounded by blooming gardens, sunny lakesides, rustic barns, and vibrant city scenes. Every couple I’ve photographed this season has reminded me exactly why I love what I do: capturing love stories in their most genuine, joy-filled moments.

From first looks under blossoming trees to sunset dances surrounded by wildflowers, every wedding has its own personality and beauty. I’ve laughed (and cried happy tears!) behind my camera more times than I can count already this season.

If you’re one of my amazing couples — past, present, or future — thank you for trusting me to tell your story. You’re the reason I get to do what I love, and I can’t wait to capture even more memories as the season unfolds.

To all the newly engaged couples planning your dream day: Michigan has endless beauty to offer, and I’d love to help you remember it all with photographs that bring you right back to every feeling, every time you look at them.

Here’s to a season full of laughter, love, and jaw-dropping moments. Let’s make some magic together!

With love,
