As a Michigan wedding photographer, my style is rooted in candid, documentary-style storytelling. I focus on capturing real emotions, unforced moments, and the genuine connection between you and your loved ones. You won’t find stiff poses here - just honest, heartfelt images that reflect your day as it truly felt.

This is exactly why choosing the right photographer matters. I hear this all the time, and trust me - you are not awkward or unphotogenic. You just haven’t had the right person behind the camera yet.
My sessions are laid-back, fun, and totally unforced. I’ll guide you gently, help you relax, and by the end it’ll feel like hanging out with a friend. Many of my couples tell me their session didn’t feel like a photoshoot at all and that’s exactly the goal.

Absolutely! I ask that all couples getting married in Michigan meet with me before booking. Whether you're planning your wedding in Detroit, Grand Rapids, or anywhere in between, it's so important to connect with the person who’ll be capturing your memories. We can meet for coffee, hop on a phone call, or set up a video chat - whichever feels right for you.

For weddings, you'll receive a sneak peek within a week and your full gallery within 90 days. Engagement and lifestyle sessions are typically delivered within 1–3 weeks.
While I don’t guarantee an exact number of images, I intentionally and thoughtfully deliver every gallery to tell your story in the most meaningful and intimate way without unnecessary fluff. You’ll get all the best final images, carefully hand-edited and ready to relive.

Not at all.

While weddings are a big part of what I do, I also photograph elopements, couples, lifestyle and boudoir sessions. If you’re looking for something a little different, I’m always open to hearing your vision.

Chances are, yes! With 75+ weddings photographed, I’m familiar with many popular Detroit wedding venues, Grand Rapids venues, and other locations across Michigan. If I haven’t been to your venue yet, don’t worry—I’ll scout it ahead of time so I’m fully prepared to capture it beautifully. I believe magic can happen anywhere, and I bring that mindset to every wedding I photograph.

Sure do! Many people find me by searching “wedding photographers near me,” and I’m proud to serve couples across West Michigan especially in Grand Rapids, Detroit, Chicago, and beyond. While I’m a Michigan wedding photographer based in Grand Rapids, I’ve photographed weddings in places like South Dakota, Chicago, and Mexico. If you’re planning a destination wedding or elopement, reach out with the details - I’d love to explore with you.

1000% yes! I’m part of the LGBTQ+ community and proudly married to my amazing wife.

If you’re searching for inclusive wedding photographers near me in the Grand Rapids area, I’d be honored to tell your story. Love is love, and your story is safe with me.
