Artistic, Romantic, Modern.

Hey babes! We are moving to Phoenix, Arizona in early 2025! Until then, we're still taking a few more 2024 Weddings and Engagements in the Metro Detroit Area! If you're getting married in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado in 2025 or 2026, let's talk!

We photograph your special events with the same love, care, and attention to detail we photograph our own family with....And we're a neurodivergent couple/family so if you are too, we gotcha! 

We specialize in working with neurodivergent clients and clients who deal with mental health issues and we get how much anxiety and confusion there can be around trying to plan a wedding, especially if you have relatives pushing you towards a more traditional ceremony, but you want your wedding to highlight all the wonderful, weird, and special things about your relationship. As your photographers, we promise to be super patient and available to answer your questions around planning and photography and to be your biggest, loudest cheerleaders encouraging you to make your wedding uniquely you!

We passionately believe that photography is probably the closest thing we have to time travel. It can transport us to places, people, and moments that have long since passed, bringing back sights, smells (ah breathe that sweet nostalgia, baby), and emotions. We photograph with a modern photojournalistic style, capturing both the traditional wedding day portraits (as well as gorgeous/crazy/artistic/unique couples' portraits and bridal party portraits, you'll proudly hang on your wall), while standing back and letting the day unfold naturally as we capture the myriad of emotions that rise and fall throughout your special day.

We shoot every wedding with 2 photographers and you will always get us (Katie and Doug) as your photographers. Doug and I both come from artistic backgrounds and have a unique and intuitive partnership. Doug is more technically minded and tends be great at figuring out solutions for crazy lighting situations and taking a couple's idea and turning it into a reality. I'm intuitive, empathetic, and emotional and I'm good at "feeling" out and capturing those beautiful little moments (that come and go in the blink of an eye or the click of a shutter) that happen when a bunch of people come together to celebrate love and family. When it comes to editing, I love bold black and whites, vibrant (but not too crazy) colors and making a portrait feel like a work of art.

Doug and I met at Greenfield Village (both working random jobs there for a short time). We got married in Rocky Mountain National Park in October 2019. We have 3 kids together, an almost 6 year old son, Phoenix, a 3 year old daughter, Lilith and a 1 year old daughter, Rhiannon. 

We love meeting all kinds of people and we can't wait to meet you and your family and capture your special moments and milestones! Let's talk soon!

About Katie

Hi!! I'm Katie<3 I'm definitely neurodivergent (late diagnosed Adhd, anxiety, and depression). In photography, I found the perfect creative outlet and zen activity. 

Photography and I go back a long time. See pic below of toddler me with a toy camera and kid me with my first point and shoot 35mm camera. If you're ND (neurodivergent), you understand hyperfixations, and I would say photography has been my main and longest running hyperfixation! I went to Western Michigan University and got my BFA in Photography and Intermedia (graduated in 2014). I started photographing weddings in 2015 and haven't stopped since. Doug and I met in 2016 and started photographing weddings together in early 2019.

Outside of photography, I have a wide variety of interests (I'm adhd as hell so of course I do!). I love dancing even though I suck at it. I'm an adventure addict who's in love with camping, hiking, visiting National Parks, etc. I'm a total True Crime junkie. I've been into anime and all things Japan since I was 14. I collect vintage kimono and since my kids came along I've been crazy for collecting all kinds of toys and video games (obsessed with Lisa Frank, Barbie, Hello Kitty, Hot Wheels, Pokemon, Zelda, Harvest Moon, and anything 90s Nostalgia). I write and I draw. I've studied a ton of different mythologies and am intrigued by the paranormal and cryptids. I love makeup and getting dressed up for no reason at all. I believe falling in love is the most dope feeling in the world and that life is too short to leave things unsaid!

About Doug

This section is currently undergoing a remodel. Pardon our dust and thanks for your patience.

Us on our wedding day! We eloped at Sprague Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. We braved the cold and wind for our vows and photos, then hurried back to the car and had a Pepsi toast.
