It's true what they say- your day passes in a blur of hugs, tears, and dancing the night away. Photos from your wedding day will be ones you hang on your walls and scatter throughout your home. They'll be the reminder of the life & legacy you're building and a window to the memories of your time spent together. And honestly? Those moments are ones you want to enjoy without thinking about a camera. You want to live in the moment and not perform.
My approach to weddings is a blended documentary & editorial style. Moving through your day with an eye for details while also paying close attention to what's unfolding candidly. Capturing the intention and experience of your day to create a gallery that feels honest, joyful, and sentimental in the years that follow your wedding day.
All you need is yourselves being fully present. My job is to help you slow down, soak in the moments, and make sure your memories are preserved in a true & timeless way.
for sentimental souls

After 70+ weddings as a Southeast & Mid Michigan wedding photographer, I approach weddings with the mindset of sentimentality. These images are ones you will cherish for the rest of your life, and pass down to the future generations of your family. Because of this, I know how important it is to trust your photographer to document your memories.
Photography is more than just the art of taking photos. Its foundation lies in trust and human connection- that's what will tell your story and preserve your legacy.
The true value in booking with me goes far beyond beautiful photos. Whether I’m documenting your day on digital or 35mm film, I’m focused on creating a gallery that will be passed down for generations. The kind of photos and albums that become heirlooms that you’ll come back to for years & not just something you scroll past on your phone.
While I've had my work featured across magazines and online resources such as Junebug Weddings, Here Comes the Guide, Loverly, & Wedding Day Magazine, what matters most to me is creating art & meaning that lasts well beyond your wedding day.
-Kelly & Aaron
She was so kind to direct us but also gave us room to be ourselves and it really shows in our pictures! Catie was quick to provide us our gallery and I can truly say I love all of our photos!
Wow.. Catie was not only a gem to work with but her photos captured even more than I could have imagined.
-Alexis & Dan
Catie was amazing from the start. She answered all my questions in our first email. She was professional yet easy to talk to. We did engagement & wedding day photos with her & we will be using her again!
Catie made the day so special & captured every shot that was important to us. She was fantastic to work with.
-Loren & Lou
Our wedding day was chaotic, but Catie kept us on schedule & my family/friends loved her! Her photo style (light & airy) is natural & not overly color saturated! If you're on the fence, just do it because you'll be glad you did!
Where do I begin! Catie is phenomenal, plain & simple. I honestly don't know what I would've done without her.
-The Simpsons
I can not say enough about Catie! From making me feel comfortable & confident at my boudoir shoot to helping keep everyone & everything on track while also photographing our wedding, she has been FANTASTIC!
I will continuously recommend this woman for anyone looking to get photos done!
