Bernard stepping out of @motorcityvintagerentals in @enzocustom, just before seeing his bride. It’s often my goal to create images that feel like they could’ve been captured in any era. With this pair & the Detroit history they infused into their day, that came pretty naturally. Forever pulled to freeze time — but also to erase it from the equation 🎞✨

Double exposures are something I never tire of. Ca

Double exposures are something I never tire of. Capturing two images on the same piece of film, layering one over another is an exciting challenge — no matter your skill or the concept in your head, how it turns out is always a surprise ✨ The same has been true for ELEVATE. It’s coming up next week, and ahh! If we could only share the incredible vision & vendor lineup — just wait till you see what we have in store! Cheers to everyone involved (especially looking at you @jeannenelillieevents), everyone attending, and to my beautiful & strong friend & co-host @alora.rachelle — we’re almost there! 🤍

Reason 15837 why I love working with film: the pro

Reason 15837 why I love working with film: the process. Having to stop & load film *could* be seen as a disadvantage, an annoying break in the flow (medium format film only has 16 frames per roll!). But I think there’s magic here ✨ I like to give my couples a breather & let them know I’m loading another roll, so they can relax for a minute. The secret? I don’t stop paying attention. Sometimes something in us just relaxes when the camera is down, no matter how comfortable the space in front of it. Who we really are surfaces more. Often during these brief moments I notice a new facet of my couple’s connection I’ll ask them to repeat, and other times — like this one — I’m lucky (& fast) enough to catch it. Forever grateful to everyone who’s been in front of my camera for allowing a space where we can be imperfect. Human — because humanity is what makes a meaningful photo. What do you think? Are you drawn to film photography?

April perspective: a lot of times quiet = unexpected strength. You can be both gentle and a force — just look how calm water wears away rock with time. Flipping the script on time & growth in a recent podcast with my girl @alora.rachelle. Linked in stories — come listen in 🕊

The word equinox comes from the Latin aequus, or equal, and nox - night. The first day of spring. Balancing out the darkness with light. I hope you’re able to experience the same today, whatever it might look like ✨

Things I’d look for in a photographer, as told by a photographer: (besides givens like experience, reliability etc.) — Am I moved by their work? Does it pull me in? — Do they care about my story? Is their approach one with humanity, with curiosity, with depth? — Are they passionate? — Do I like their energy? Do I feel like I can relax around them? Beautiful things happen when we go with our intuition ✨ What would you add to the list? ———
