Midwest Wedding Photographer + Filmmaker
TIMELESS & CINEMATIC · WEDDING PHOTO + FILM
The Midwest knows how to throw a wedding.
Midwest weddings have a scale and warmth unlike anywhere else. Lakeside, barn to the country club — we document all of it.
MIDWEST WEDDINGS
Big families, longer toasts, dance floors that don't empty.
There's a warmth to Midwest weddings that's hard to put into words and easy to feel in the work.
I love shooting in the Midwest because the people who throw weddings here mean it. Not to mention, I was born in Chicago and raised as a Midwest wedding photographer in the heart of the mitten. My team and I photograph and film across Michigan and the surrounding region — from vineyard ceremonies in Traverse City to ballroom receptions in Chicago.

“We used her for our wedding and then our pregnancy announcement. We couldn’t be happier with how both sets of photos turned out.”

THE APPROACH
I give just enough direction that you forget you're
being photographed
The rest is yours.
I show up fully — with a nostalgic lens, a cinematic fly-on-the-wall presence, and the patience to wait for what actually matters.
Midwest weddings carry a kind of warmth you can’t fake. The toasts run long because people mean it. The dance floor stays full because no one wants to leave. That’s what I’m here to document.
I shoot photos and film as one, not separate vendors, not separate visions. One approach, two mediums, nothing lost. Your gallery and film will feel like they belong together because they were made together.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about a Midwest wedding
-
Everywhere. Chicago, Michigan, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Columbus, Cleveland, Rapid City, and beyond. No hidden travel fees for Midwest coverage — if it's in the region, we're there.
-
Michigan has incredible options — from Traverse City vineyard venues to lakeside properties in Northern Michigan to restored industrial spaces in Detroit and Grand Rapids. We work with any venue and know how to make every one look like it was made for your day.
-
Always. Photo and film are one team with one creative vision — your gallery and your film share the same light, the same moments, the same story. No competing angles, nothing missed.
-
Most couples book 10-16 months out. Summer and fall weekends in Michigan fill particularly fast — Traverse City in September is booked a year out for most couples. It's always worth reaching out early.
-
You won't be — and even if you are, it won't show. I give just enough direction that you forget you're being documented. The best wedding photos happen when nobody's performing.
