Ally + Jeff

12.12.15

Yep, throwing it back to 2015 for a moment! This day was really special for me to photograph. Ally is a really dear friend of mine and has been such an inspiration for my work, she's just an all around amazing person, makeup artist and stylist. When she asked me to be a part of her day I couldn't resist. I knew she and Jeff intended to move to New York the following Spring and wanted to incorporate a bit of that vibe into their day.

Cloudy, warm and perfect, for December in Michigan we were fortunate to have such an incredible setting for their day. They opted for an intimate wedding with family and close friends plus their sweet pug Biscuit. Their ceremony was held at our cute community center gym, it fit the industrial boho theme perfectly. We chose a really beautiful brick wall downtown for portraits that I adore and then they opted for some additional portraits at dusk which could not have been dreamier with all of the holiday lights.

Kayla and David contacted me about photographing their reception event near Battle Creek, Michigan and I couldn't have been more excited to do so! When I was emailing with her I knew her and I were destined to make some photographic magic especially after we met and she was describing the whole vibe and aesthetic of her day! There is so much to say about this set of photographs and their day; how welcoming Kayla, David and their families were. The fact that it was a chill, laid back, backyard event on Kayla's family farm (Oh how we adore these kinds of days!) AMAZING DIY decor, the perfect overcast warm weather and amazing surprise sunset, peacocks EVERYWHERE...........UGH I want to relive this over and over. I loved that I was able to capture these lovely humans sweet and intimate connection in a place that was special for them and their family. I think this will forever be one of my favorite days and I am so overjoyed to share this little story!
