If you're eloping, chances are you're not doing things by the book — and I love that. I’m here with a heart full of passion, a love for your love, with an artsy eye and a bubbly heart, to capture your day exactly as it unfolds: messy, magical, real.
No stiff poses. No pressure. Just you two, being yourselves, and me quietly documenting the whole beautiful story.
Let’s make something that feels like you.
elopements
Let's freeze those fleeting moments forever.
Maybe you’re ditching the big ballroom for a mountain overlook with muddy boots and wind in your hair. Or maybe you’re saying “no thanks” to a huge guest list and keeping it super intimate — just you two, somewhere quiet, meaningful, and so totally you.
Maybe your dream day looks like pizza and Polaroids in the backyard with your favorite people, or a wild dance party under string lights where the only rule is: no rules.
Whatever your version of “I do” looks like — epic, chill, weird, wonderful — I’m here for it. My job isn’t to direct every second or force fake smiles. It’s to show up, blend in, and capture the real stuff: the hugs that last too long, the happy tears, the bad dance moves, and all the little moments that make your day yours.
I’m here to tell your story in a way that feels easy, emotional, and totally true to you — without the pressure, the poses, or the Pinterest-perfect vibes.
Just you, your love, and the moment.

I’m based in Metro-Detroit and I photograph elopements all across the Midwest and United States — from cozy backyard “I do’s” to mountaintop dances and destination celebrations. If your love has a location, I’ll meet you there with my camera and a heart full of excitement!
Hey, you two. If you're here, I’m guessing you’ve chosen a different kind of love story — one that doesn’t need a dance floor, a caterer, or a rigid timeline to feel real. You’re doing things your own way. Quietly, wildly, intentionally.
And I love that. Elopements have this incredible kind of magic — not because they’re less, but because they’re more you. More presence, more emotion, more space to breathe and just be together. No pressure to perform. No checklist to chase. Just the freedom to focus on what really matters: the two of you and the love you’re promising to each other.
As your photographer, I don’t want to just show up and take pretty pictures. I want to understand your story, your energy, what lights you up. I’ll be there every step of the way — not just as a photographer, but as a calm presence, a quiet cheerleader, and someone who genuinely cares about how your day feels, not just how it looks.
You don’t need to worry about posing or doing anything “for the camera.” I’ll give gentle direction when needed, but mostly I’ll be there to capture the real stuff — the stolen glances, the belly laughs, the way you look at each other when you think no one’s watching.
If you’re dreaming of a day that’s deeply personal, wildly intentional, and full of heart, I’d be so honored to help you remember it exactly as it felt.
Let’s make something beautiful — something that feels like you.
following your love- country wide
Think of me as your laid-back, professional third wheel — the kind that hypes you up, keeps things chill, and always knows your best angles.
My comfort-first approach lets you soak it all in — laughing with your favorite people, holding your partner close, tearing up during vows, or busting out those dance floor moves — while I quietly capture the real, emotional, in-between moments that matter most.
I’ll offer just enough gentle direction to make sure your gallery is stunning, but never so much that it feels forced. It’s all about balance — creating space for connection while documenting your story in a way that feels honest, effortless, and uniquely you.
My approach- and why it's so important.

Kendall made us so comfortable and managed to capture our personalities so well... She is so thoughtful with the details in photos- both taking and editing them. We cannot speak highly enough of Kendall. If you're thinking of booking her, do it!

Kendall had the patience of a saint with the chaos we were working through, and was still by far the most pleasant person we worked with during our wedding season. We had extremely high expectations and she's already exceeded them with our sneak peeks!
“Book her now- I promise someone else will!”
