It is the perfect setting where families can run and play, where I can capture them enjoying the beautiful sunshine together and even capture images with my favorite – texture, color and lots of foreground/background. Absolutely perfect! […]

These boho sunset wedding photos are full of inspiration taken near Grand Rapids Michigan on the most beautiful early fall evening. With trees surrounding a private lake on the brink of exploding into a fall rainbow, it was the perfect setting for a wedding ceremony. Private, pristine, beautiful.

I’m a wedding and portrait photographer, and I’m also a disability advocate working to make the wedding industry more accessible, thoughtful, and welcoming. I believe love stories deserve to be told in spaces where care, dignity, and access are part of the experience - not an afterthought.
This work is deeply personal to me. I’m helping build an industry that’s ready for my daughter, Gabby - so that when it’s her turn to dream, celebrate, and be celebrated, the world is already open to her, just as she is.
