Allison & Ian – Engagement Session

I had the pleasure of meeting one of my newest couples, Allison and Ian, for their Catholic engagement session at DeVries Nature Conservancy in Owosso, Michigan. They were an absolute joy to work with and looked so natural together in front of the camera. The evening couldn’t have been more beautiful, with perfect lighting that made every moment even more magical. I’m already looking forward to celebrating with them on their wedding day! Until then, I’m excited to share a preview of their engagement session.

Catholic Wedding Mass of Megan & Brendan

Megan and Brendan celebrated their beautiful Catholic wedding Mass at Church of the Divine Child in Dearborn, MI. I first met them last year when we did their engagement photos and can’t believe how fast time went by, their wedding day was finally here… It was a beautiful Nuptial Mass where Megan and Brendan took part in the beautiful sacrament. The ceremony was filled with joy as they celebrated this sacrament in front of family and friends. After the Catholic wedding Mass, we went to Fair Lane Estates in Dearborn for portraits with the bridal party. It was a gorgeous day on the beautiful grounds there. The celebration then continued at St. Mary’s Banquet & Cultural Center in Livonia. It was a gorgeous spring day and their friends and family showered them with prayers, love and memories.

Catholic Wedding Mass of Grace & Paolo

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

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.

Catholic Portraits for Detroit Catholic

Earlier this year I had the opportunity take Catholic portraits for the Detroit Catholic, a publication of the Archdiocese of Detroit. The session was at St. Andrew Catholic Church in Rochester, MI. It was a great time working to create some images for their story. As always, please reach out if you are looking for Catholic portraits.

Cardinal Pizzaballa with a Detroit Catholic Photographer

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.

Traverse City Catholic Wedding of Mackenzie & Austin

I want to thank MacKenzie and Austin for having be a part of their Traverse City Catholic Wedding. It was special day as they partook in the great sacrament of matrimony! It was a beautiful time of year in Traverse City. The trees were beginning to show their fall colors, the temperature was not too cold, nor too hot. It was just “picture” perfect! 😉

Lake Orion Catholic Photographer – Alliance Clay Shoot Fundraiser

There’s something truly special about photographing an event that blends faith, fellowship, and fun. As a Lake Orion Catholic photographer, capturing the Alliance Catholic Credit Union Clay Shoot Fundraiser at Bald Mountain Shooting Range was a rewarding experience that beautifully showcased community spirit in action.

Michigan Catholic Photographer – Diaconate Ordination Mass

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.

Catholic Event Photographer – CCSEM Gala

As a Catholic event photographer, I was recently blessed to have the great opportunity to work with Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan. They were hosting their 2025 Annual Celebration at the Saint John’s Resort in Plymouth, MI.
