While 2015 was by far my most successful year to date, it was also the most challenging. I love weddings because they allow me to create and document the day exactly as I see them, but as a photographer that's constantly challenged by my peers and who gets bored easily, I find that if I'm not constantly pushing myself and trying new techniques and styles out, I lose the burning flame I have. This year has been a journey of self-growth, solidifying my style, finding out what works, what doesn't work, and ultimately being content with myself.
I would love to type up paragraphs about how amazing and inspirational 2015 was, but let's face it, you clicked the link to view my images -- and a picture is worth 1,000 words anyway, right? I hope you enjoy my year in review.
Cheers to a happy and successful 2016!
Kim + Brian {Wedding} | Italian American Cultural Center | Detroit, Michigan
I've known Kim & Brian for almost five years -- so of course I was not only incredibly happy for them when they got engaged, but I was thrilled to be their wedding photographer. The gorgeous church was located deep in downtown Detroit, so the bridal party decided to take their own personal trolley to get around quicker. This wedding was incredibly refreshing -- with the bridal prep, ceremony, and reception locations all being in different cities, there were plenty of stops in between to get some amazing portraits in different iconic locations. Here's a small preview of their huge and eventful day.

I was referred to Naima & Alessandro by a local photographer out of Austin, Texas, and decided that it would be an absolute blast to photograph their reception. The entire day was storming terribly, so we shot most of the photographs indoors and got a few in the courtyard of 5226 Elm. We then went to another home for an after party.
Enjoy!
