Your Michigan wedding is more than just a beautiful day—it’s a gathering of your people, a celebration of your story, and the beginning of your legacy. I’m here to photograph it with care and intention, focusing on the fleeting, emotional moments that matter most. The quiet glances. The tearful hugs. The joy that moves through the room. These are the images that let you feel it all again—for years to come.

ALL ABOUT mariah
Your wedding day is the beginning of your legacy—a day filled with meaning, emotion, and the people who matter most. I’m there to capture more than just how it looked. With a calm presence and a storyteller’s eye, I document the quiet touches, the full-belly laughs, and the in-between moments that make your day feel like home. It’s about creating images that honor your story, your people, and the kind of love that lasts for generations.
