Catholic Wedding Mass of Grace & Paolo

May 31, 2026

Grace and Paolo celebrated their beautiful Catholic wedding Mass at St. Isidore Church in Macomb, Michigan. Not only were they married at St. Isidore Church, but they also exchanged their vows on St. Isidore's feast day. It was a beautiful Nuptial Mass in which Grace and Paolo embraced the Catholic tradition of walking into the church together, rather than following the more common American custom of the bride being escorted down the aisle by her father to meet her soon-to-be husband. The ceremony was filled with joy as they celebrated the sacrament of marriage before their family and friends. Following the Catholic wedding Mass, the celebration continued at Paint Creek Country Club in Lake Orion. It was a gorgeous spring day, and their friends and family showered them with prayers, love, and cherished memories.

Ordination Mass – Archdiocese of Detroit

May 29, 2026

Recently I was blessed to work with Sacred Heart Major Seminary and photograph the 2026 Ordination Mass. There were four men, Fathers Lizandro Barba, Karl Finkbeiner, James Musgrave III, and Daniel Whalen, who were ordained and will serve the Archdiocese of Detroit. The Mass took place at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit. Often, the Cathedral celebrates weddings, but on that day it was celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Orders as Archbishop Edward J. Weisenburger ordained these four men.

December 13, 2025

As a Detroit Catholic photographer, I recently had the great opportunity in early December to spend two days with Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, OFM. Cardinal Pizzaballa was visiting the Archdiocese of Detroit (AOD) for a brief trip. The AOD hosted the first event at Saint John's Resort in Plymouth, MI where they held a charity event entitled, "United in Faith: Bridging Hearts from the Motor City to the Holy Land." The evening started with a press conference for the media, followed by a VIP cocktail hour, and concluded with a delightful evening in The Monarch ballroom. The evening was filled with hope in the Lord and for the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and his flock.

As a Michigan Catholic photographer there are numerous opportunities to photograph all that the great Catholic faith has to offer. This time, it was the diaconate ordinations of two young seminaries were ordained to the diaconate. These men are part of the Companions of the Cross, a Canadian community of priest, and live in Detroit house and attend Sacred Heart Major Seminary. It is always a great pleasure to work with the Companions. I have had the opportunity to work with them over the last several years and this year I arrived early to get a few portraits before the young men, now deacons, were preparing for the ordination Mass. This year I also added video so please be sure to see that video at the bottom of this most.
