The Wedding Experience
Grand Rapids & Beyond
This Is Just The Beginning
I've been documenting weddings for the last 16 years, and I can tell you one thing that's for sure - Every. Single. Wedding is different. And that's because every single person and couple is different. So let's lean into that! I'll bring my style and one-of-a-kind approach, you bring your unique story of YOU!
Our Adventure Starts Here
My Style to Documenting Your Day
I approach your wedding day by combining two styles - documentary and editorial.
Throughout the day, I try to be as hands off as possible. This allows you to experience your day as it happens, with all the genuine emotions it has to offer. Your relationships, your connection with your people - this is what we're here to capture. And my goal is to turn this beautiful moments into works of art for you to be sharing with the world for years to come!
Your portraits are when we take more of an editorial approach. This is when we get creative TOGETHER.

My Process
Throughout your day, I take a little more hands-off approach, and I'll be photographing everything as it unfolds naturally.
If you want me to be more hands on - I can give you guidance and direction. If you want me to be a fly on the wall - we can make that happen.
Jumping on a FaceTime with you is my favorite way to get to know you, and also get to know what you're looking for when it comes to your wedding day, and how you'd like me to photograph it.
Your wedding day isn't just a photoshoot. It's a collaboration between you and me, together! This is how we create works of art that come together to tell the story of YOUR day!
I'm here as your Grand Rapids wedding photographer to capture those memories in the most beautiful way possible!

CONNECTION IS KEY
I'M INVESTED IN YOU
THIS IS YOUR DAY
Our Connection is Key!
Our connection to each other is so freaking important. You value the people in your life. You've poured your heart and soul into this day. It's so incredibly important that you don't hire me because you just need someone. We're here to collaborate together!
I'm here to tell the story of your day. I'll be there every step of the way, documenting it as it happens.
When you get your photos back, they won't be JUST wedding photos. They'll be works of art that you can be proud to share with the world! They'll be beautiful, one-of-a-kind heirlooms for you to look back on in 50 years. These images will tell the story of your day in the most beautiful way possible.
This is why you don't hire JUST a wedding photographer. You hire someone that can remind you of how it felt.

Your wedding day should be whatever you desire it to be! Forget about what your second-cousin did for their wedding, or even what your siblings did.
This is YOUR day!
What you plan together as a couple, should reflect you, your love, and your story together.
When you look back at your wedding album, I want you to see YOU!

I’m typically not that comfortable in front of a camera, but Aliscia gives a lot of praise which helped make me feel less awkward, like I was actually doing things right. She seemed to know when I was getting in my head too much and would think of ways to make me laugh and relax, like have my husband tickle me or do something very random and silly, which in turn created some of our favorite photos! She somehow is able to capture true genuine emotion of a simple moment.
This woman has a gift and is truly amazing at what she does!

My most popular package is 8 hours. I truly believe this is the sweet spot! This usually fits most days, but let's be real...weddings rarely stay on schedule! So if you need more hours, we can always add that on. I got you!

Each year changes, but for 2023 I'm only accepting 15 weddings total. I'm doing this so I can provide my couples with the absolute best experience possible, and spend the amount of time needed on their photos.

No, I will not photoshop you. I will remove any blemishes that are not normally there, and will edit out people that need to be. But I DO NOT do cosmetic changes.

If we need to cancel or reschedule, you WILL NOT be receiving your non-refundable retainer back, that money is to secure your date and turn away other bookings. There is a grace period of 6 months from your original date to reschedule with no fee. After that, a new retainer is required.

I believe that all kinds of weather can make for some truly unique photos! So I say we go for it! But if it's going to make for a miserable time, or potentially ruin my gear, we'll reschedule at no charge to you!
