The Artist
Ann Arbor Wedding Photographer with 10+ Years of Cinematic & Emotional Storytelling
I spent over ten years capturing weddings and portraits in Los Angeles before bringing my editorial style to Michigan (serving Metro Detroit, Lansing, and the Great Lakes region).
I’ve learned that it’s not just about how a moment looks but how it feels. Whether I’m capturing your wedding day, a portrait session, or a brand story, I approach each shoot with intention, care, and deep respect for what these moments mean to you. Every project is personal, and I bring cinematic artistry and emotional intuition to each frame. With every wedding, I strive to set the standard for luxury wedding photography and videography across Michigan and the Midwest.

FAQs
Common questions to help you with your journey in selecting the photographer and videographer who can help you with your vision.
What should I look for when hiring a Michigan wedding photographer and videographer?
When choosing a wedding photographer and videographer in Michigan, start by reviewing portfolios to ensure their style—whether editorial, magazine-quality imagery or cinematic storytelling—aligns with your vision. Check for a fully insured, LLC-backed professional who travels statewide and beyond, offers customizable packages, and holds top ratings on Google, Yelp, and The Knot. Don’t forget to read client testimonials and confirm they provide both raw footage and polished highlight reels for complete coverage.
How far in advance should I book my Ann Arbor wedding photographer and cinematographer?
In popular markets like Ann Arbor and Detroit, lead times of 9–12 months are common, especially for sought-after weekends in spring and fall. Early booking not only secures your date but also gives you time to plan engagement sessions, finalize shot lists, and build rapport with your photographer and videographer—ensuring they capture authentic moments and understand your unique story well before your big day.
