Michigan Wedding Photographer // Wedding Advice – From Real Brides! Wedding planning can be fun, but we all know that it can be really stressful.  I would love to write a long blog post about my best tips and ideas on how to make your wedding day the best day ever….but let’s be honest here!  […]

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.
