Congratulations to Brittany and Nic! They were married over the weekend on November 4 (and happy birthday Nic!). I’m wrapping up my wedding photography season with this grand finale of a celebration. Here’s a few highlights from their incredible wedding.
I had a ton of fun running around Kalamazoo with these two for their engagement session. When August arrived we got started with Callie getting ready at their beautiful house in the Vine Neighborhood, while Alec got ready at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts. This was my first time photographing a wedding at the KIA and it was awesome getting to use the different sculptures as background texture. Check out a few highlights from their day…
These two are getting married on August 29, 2021 at the beautiful Gable Hill Barn in Southwest Michigan. I think it’s safe to say the temperature on their wedding day will be a bit different from their engagement session experience in Kalamazoo last weekend! It was 15° F and windy but I’d say we pulled off some great shots and had some fun doing it!
Being a photographer in Kalamazoo never seems to disappoint. We strolled around the Kalamazoo Mall, got a much needed coffee from Caffe Casa, explored a snow apocalypse on top of a parking structure, and headed to a nearby field to end the session with them wrapped up in a blanket. Check out a few highlights from their session!
I first met Lindsey and Tim in early 2019 when we met up for their engagement session at Rawson’s King Mill Park in Southwest Michigan. They were so fun to work with and they made each other (and me!) laugh through the entire session. Tim is a genuine goofball through and through!
So since then, I’ve been eagerly anticipating their wedding day in October of 2020 at the beautiful Blue Heron Barn in Kalamazoo. The venue was amazing, and the people were amazing. They were both so laid back and willing to put in the time throughout the day to get some amazing photos. I even brought my rubber boots so I could jump in the stream for some incredible first look photos on the bridge. Weddings like this are the reason why I love my job as a wedding photographer! Congratulations to you both and I hope to be photographing your amazing journey through life for years to come! Check out a few of the highlights below…
Can you think of a better way to kick off the New Year? Julie and Nate were married on January 4th, 2020 at the beautiful St. Aloysius Parish in Detroit, Michigan. The reception was held at the Detroit Athletic Club. After getting ready, we were able to find some amazing places (it wasn’t hard) for portraits and a first look at the DAC. We then jumped onto a shuttle for wedding party photos on the steps of the Detroit Institute of Arts and some stunning images of Julie and Nate in front of the iconic Fox Theatre downtown Detroit. Be sure to check out the amazing architecture in the images from the wedding ceremony at St. Aloysius.
The reception continued back at the Detroit Athletic Club with cocktail hour and the traditional Chaldean Zaffa. The Zaffa was incredible! Massive drums lead the family and wedding party to the reception hall where dancing and lifting of the bride and groom took place. Check out a few highlights from the day.

I knew from the beginning of their engagement session last year that these two were going to be an amazing couple to work with. Their engagement session and wedding turned out beautifully, not just because of the setting, but because of the energy between these two radiant people. They didn’t forget that this day was about celebrating joy and love, they remembered to laugh and have fun, they were just so relaxed and went with the flow of the day. I’ve never had a blog post with this many images, because I just couldn’t choose. Gable Hill in Marcellus, MI is a beautiful venue and I hope to go back there soon! Here are just some of the magical moments of Matt & Ashley’s wedding day…
