Because your story IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER
If you are in search of a wedding photographer in Ann Arbor who steers clear of artificial Pinterest poses and overly filtered clichés, look no further.
I specialize in documenting the genuine essence of your special day. The laughter, the quirks, and every unexpected moment make it uniquely yours. I’ve been at this since 2011, and I’ve seen just about everything!
Your collection not only includes digital images, but also a tangible heirloom album, ensuring your memories are preserved for generations to come.
Whatever your story,
I’m here to help you remember it.
Weddings aren’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are you! Love is for everyone, and I work with all kinds of couples (BIPOC & LGBTQ folks – you’re safe with me).
Whether you’re looking for the ceremonial power of a traditional wedding, the sweet intimacy of an elopement, or something unabashedly different, I’m here to document the hell outta it so you won’t forget.

HIYA! I’m Angie
ANN ARBOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi there! I’m Angie, and I’m so glad you’re here.
First, you’re probably wondering why I have so much Hawai’i content on my site even though I’m an Ann Arbor wedding photographer…
I moved to Maui, Hawaii in 2009 with 5 suitcases and no clue about where life would take me. I spent 17 years living out my Neverland dreams and having the adventure of a lifetime.
Now, I’ve returned to my roots (born and raised in Dexter, MI) with my husband, two daughters, and a dog in tow to gift my children a Midwest childhood steeped in fireflies, bonfires, wide-open spaces, and all the creature comforts I knew as a kid.
Very simply put, I am a wedding photographer because documenting the best day of someone’s life is absolutely unmatched.
Your wedding day is one you’ll revisit for the rest of your lives, and you want amazing photographs to remind you of every moment.
I believe in moment-driven photography and epic portraiture.
Ya know – the kind of photos that make you laugh and cry. Or maybe laugh-cry.
The flowers will wilt, the dress will hang in a closet, the guests will leave – but your photos will stand the test of time. I aim to make you feel what your wedding day was like through your photographs.
Looking for the perfect MICHIGAN wedding venue?
I can help with that!
Not into barn weddings? There’s a venue for that.
Love the feel of old-world vintage? There’s a venue for that.
You want the grass under your feet and stars over your head? There’s a venue for that, too.
I’ve done the research – here are the spots!
Every story is unique, every story is timeless
That’s why cookie cutters are for cookies – not for weddings!
Your photos won’t look like everyone else’s, and that’s a promise. I take time to get to know the two of you so I can create irreplaceable art just for you.
Creating a Visual Legacy
To help you remember to share your best day ever with your children
MEANINGFUL ART ON YOUR BEST DAY
And helping my couples craft a visual legacy to leave to the little people who don’t exist yet – that is what drives me as an artist.
I want albums to be shared and high-end gallery art adorning the walls of your forever home (and every home you make in between). That’s why all my wedding collections come with an album.
To help you remember to share your best day ever with your children
