Give me the details of your best day ever

Who am I, you ask? 

I’m  Lindsay!

I believe humans were created to create. Our lives are filled with intimate and playful moments that go by too quickly, and that’s where I feel called to. I desire to create something so beautiful and timeless that my people can reminisce for years to come. There are so many things that will not matter in time, but flipping through your wedding album with your granddaughter or nephew or whoever will never go out of style.

I’ve been photographing weddings for 8 years now, and it all started because I stole my mom’s Canon Rebel back when I had a crush on a baseball player in high school. It’s not as weird as it sounds…they needed yearbook photos. Long ago are the days of yearbook, and now I’m lucky to consider wedding photography my primary gig.

Weddings + Elopements

Alllll the emotions here and lots of big decisions to make! That’s why I will be your biggest champion, closest friend, and greatest advocate in this season of planning your wedding and experiencing your most important day. Choosing a photographer to capture the moments that you will be talking about with your spouse for the rest of your lives is no small feat, but I promise to make it feel a little more seamless and a little less heavy for ya. I always say that there’s only two things you get to keep at the end of your wedding day: the person you marry and your photos. So pick the best people!

Whether you are planning the whole kit-and-kaboodle or having an intimate ceremony with your closest people, bring me along! I mostly service the West Michigan area, but I have traveled worldwide for love stories like yours. The options are limitless!

THE REVIEWS ARE IN

Lindsay is amazing at what she does! She took our engagement and wedding photos and we could not have been happier with them. She is welcoming, professional and makes everyone feel at ease who might not be comfortable in front of the camera. She was also extremely knowledgeable and helpful when I was overwhelmed throughout the wedding planning process.

– Amanda + Zach

Working with Lindsay is an absolute dream!! She could not be any more sweet, talented, or fun to shoot with and she is the BEST hype woman around. I’ve worked with her several times – she did videography for our wedding, shot family pictures for us, and she did portraits of me for graduation. She never disappoints and always delivers beautiful images that we will love for years to come. I cannot say enough good things about her and I know me and my family will continue to work with Lindsay again and again. She rocks!

– Josie + Zach

Lindsay was incredibly helpful and professional. We were thrilled with her commitment to communication and attention to detail. Our engagement and wedding photos are beautiful. We will cherish them for a lifetime! 

– Maguire + Beau

Lindsay is absolutley amazing!! She is so easy to work with and makes you feel 100% special, like you’re the most important thing in her life at that moment. She gets the finished pictures to you alomost immediately and never slacks at getting you an amazing preview. I have worked with Lindsay three times now and will continue to use her for any photography needs in the future.

COUPLES + PORTRAITS

Every stage of your life deserves some love and documentation. Maybe you just graduated college, bought your first home, or added a new member to your family (fur-baby or baby-baby, I don’t judge), nevertheless it’s an occasion that insists on some good story telling. Some of my favorite photographs that I have ever taken come from sessions like these. I like to consider them more of a story session than a traditional photoshoot. I want the photos to communicate the intimate and beautiful things that make your love yours and your life yours! So, let’s go on a date! Let’s get some ice cream and walk the pier, or jump on a boat and take a sail. We could even bake something in your kitchen! These photos will truly be the best when I get to see you guys in your element.

Mini sessions start at $275

Full sessions start at $400
