HEARTFELT PHOTOGRAPHY ROOTED IN CONNECTION AND PRESENCE.
Weddings are all about connection. The connection and commitment of you and your partner. The relationships you have formed throughout your lives with friends and family who support you. Your link to the place and the landscape you have chosen to celebrate in.
Your wedding photographs offer the opportunity to reflect all of that connection back to you, to ground you in the love that surrounds you. My goal is to support your ability to be present throughout your day, creating in-the-moment, intentional, timeless imagery for you to return to year after year.
REMEMBER HOW IT FELT…
With an emphasis on documentary coverage, your wedding gallery will tell the story of your celebration and the people you’ve gathered to celebrate with. My goal is to capture moments as they happen so that you can focus on what’s in front of you: your people, and moments you don’t want to forget.
…WITH A FOCUS ON PRESENCE AND CONNECTION IN THE MOMENT.
In the months leading up to your wedding, I will offer my guidance and collaboration to ensure that your wedding day has room for authentic connection. Whether you need help crafting a timeline that feels spacious or reminders on the day to be present, I will offer my calm support throughout our time together, adding ease and care to your wedding planning, weekend, all the way through delivery of your final gallery.

“Look no further- Mae is the best! We couldn’t be happier with our experience, start to finish.
She was organized and professional, knowledgeable and patient while working with us through every detail, and she handled a crowd like no other!
And best of all, the photos turned out absolutely stunning. Mae captured all the special emotions and candid moments from the day with beautifully lit, natural photos.
Mae’s calm demeanor, kindness, and positive vibes were also so, so appreciated throughout the day.
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our special day. Highly recommend.”

THE PROCESS
Connect
Book a consult call or send me an email to begin the conversation. We’ll talk through your vision for your wedding weekend, and together we will craft the perfect custom collection that aligns with your desires. To reserve your date, a $2500 retainer fee is due, along with the signed contract.
Support
When I join your vendor team, I do so prepared to offer my support wherever its needed. I am happy to connect you with other northern Michigan wedding vendors, and can offer insight about the flow for your wedding. We’ll confirm priorities and I’ll consult with your planning team to ensure that our timelines and approach are aligned with your wedding goals.
Document & Deliver
On your wedding day, our team shows up to document the day with empathy and artistry. You can expect a full-service experience, where together with your vendor team, you are supported throughout the day. After your wedding, you will receive a gallery of select previews, followed by the full, curated gallery delivery within two months of your wedding day. At each touchpoint, care is taken to honor the meaning behind each photograph, ensuring that you are able to enjoy them fully.
I tailor each wedding collection to your exact needs, ensuring that you have the coverage and team to support your vision. All wedding collections include timeline guidance and a private gallery of your images, with a print release. Most couples spend between $8000-$9,500 for full day coverage, and I offer collections that include weekend coverage as well.

“Mae went above and beyond to make sure that we felt comfortable and supported, not to mention she always made sure we were having fun!
Mae’s experience in the field allowed her to navigate the uncooperative wind and weather on our special day, taking the stress off of us. The photos are magical and she is such a joy to work with. I can’t recommend her enough!”
-KATIE & STEVE
“My husband and I were lucky enough to have Mae be our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding photos and could not recommend her enough!!! Will never get over our weddings pictures - they are so in the moment and perfectly capture all of the feelings and memories of the most special day. It can be hard to stand in front of the camera but Mae is just the best at making you feel beautiful and comfortable while being 100% yourself.”
