Private Plymouth Wedding

Monica and Marissa’s wedding was a true celebration of their love story. After dating for seven years and experiencing so many adventures together, the couple decided to tie the knot in a beautiful outdoor ceremony at a private residence. The Inn at St. John’s provided the perfect preparation space for the two of them to dress separately before their emotional first look in the courtyard.

Their wedding ceremony took place in the backyard of Marissa’s sister, surrounded by lush greenery and twinkling bistro lights that created a magical ambiance. The couple’s nieces and nephews added to the joyous atmosphere during the cocktail hour, climbing trees and enjoying delicious cookies as the main course.

As the sun set, speeches and first dances took place under the glowing lights. The early September weather in Michigan was perfect for the occasion, creating a romantic and unforgettable evening.

Monica and Marissa’s love story is filled with memorable moments, from brewing beer together to traveling to Uganda and Dubai. They have volunteered at church for eight years and watched countless beach sunsets in California. It was clear that their love for each other has only grown stronger with each passing year, and their wedding day was a true reflection of that love.

We wish Monica and Marissa a lifetime of happiness and adventure as they continue to create unforgettable memories together. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Isabel & Lindy’s wedding at the Shinola Hotel remains so special to us. Capturing their day was an honor—not just because of the beauty and joy, but because love like theirs deserves to be seen, cherished, and protected.

With ongoing conversations about overturning Obergefell v. Hodges, it’s more important than ever to stand for marriage equality. Every couple deserves the right to marry the person they love, without fear that it could be taken away. Love is love—yesterday, today, and always. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

I love the process of archiving old work. It's tedious, but so revealing.

It's a reminder of my personal growth and vision. As time passes I see old work with a new set of eyes and often find pieces I didn't appreciate enough the first time through.
