NORTHERN MICHIGAN
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
REMEMBER HOW IT FEELS.
Heartfelt photography rooted in connection and presence.
“My wife and I would recommend Mae to any and all couples looking for THE photographer to capture their special day. First and foremost, her pictures were exceptional - she captured candid moments between family and friends that brought to life the love and authenticity of the moment. The other (and just as important factor in our eyes) was her kind, calm, and positive demeanor throughout the day. Nerves, stress, and anxiety can come in waves on the wedding day, and Mae provided a warm and calming presence throughout. My wife and I get a bit camera shy when all the attention is on us, but Mae had a natural way of making us feel comfortable, and truly brought the best out of us. Both her organized and candid pictures of us, our family, and friends are moments we will cherish for a lifetime.”

Your wedding photographs are more than images; they’re a roadmap to return to the feeling of your wedding day.
Your wedding day is a constellation of moments—some grand, some quiet—all meaningful. It’s the first look, the chatter of your family during dinner as the golden light filters through the trees, and the laughter shared over an unplanned breeze catching your veil. These moments come together to tell the story of your day—a story of love, connection, and celebration.
It goes by fast, as all the best things do, so my only hope is that you’re able to stay present. That you’re able to soak in each moment and then, when the day is done and finally, your wedding photographs are delivered, you see the constellations created by each moment of your day, laid out as a guide that can take you right back.
My approach to photography is simple: capture not just how your wedding looks, but how it feels. My goal is to support your ability be present, all while preserving the essence of your day in photographs you’ll cherish forever.

“Not only is Mae extremely talented and a master of her craft, she is also a kind and beautiful soul. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was able to fully capture the magic of our special day! Our wedding photos turned out AMAZING! We still look at them daily, and are just so happy that we chose Mae as our wedding photographer. She is the BEST, and we can’t recommend her enough!”

HI, I’M MAE.
Since 2009, I’ve had the honor of photographing love stories across Northern Michigan, the Midwest, and beyond. My home base in Leelanau County—a land of rolling hills, vineyards, and stunning shoreline—carries a certain magic to it, and I love telling the stories of folks who choose to get married here.
I aim to show up as a grounding presence on your wedding day, and believe that the best photographs happen when you are invited to be yourself. There is no pretense or performance required, but rather, just the hope that you will show up fully as yourself and embrace all the joy and beauty you’ve planned for your wedding day.
My mission is to preserve each moment of your day with care and artistry, delivering photographs you will cherish for a lifetime.
