Hi, I’m Michelle, a Detroit-based wedding photographer who genuinely loves people, photographs, and watching two people become a family in front of the people they love most.

I’m drawn to the parts of a wedding day that happen naturally: the movement, the emotion, the people watching from the sidelines, and all the little moments that would be easy to miss. I’ll guide you when you need me, but I’m happiest when I can step back and let you be fully present while I pay attention to everything happening around you.

Photography became even more personal to me after my own wedding, when my mom suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm just nine days later. The photographs from that season became a way back to memories she could no longer clearly hold onto. It changed the way I see this work, and why I care so deeply about preserving the moments that may mean even more to you years from now.

You can plan the timeline, the flowers, and every little detail, but you can't plan the moments that end up meaning the most. Those are the ones I’m always watching for.

Moments You Couldn't Have Planned For If You Tried

The best photographs happen when you're too wrapped up in the moment to notice me. I want you laughing, crying, dancing, and soaking it all in while I quietly make sure it's remembered.

There may never be another day when all of your favorite people are gathered in one place, celebrating you together. That alone feels worth remembering.

The People Who Have Loved Long Before Today
