You’re here because you don’t want the cookie-cutter version of a wedding day — you want the one that’s been sneaking its way into your Pinterest boards, shower thoughts, and unhinged 1am texts to your best friend.

Whether that’s a lakeside wedding in Michigan, eloping in the UP, or running around with your people for portraits, I’ll capture it — messy, emotional, and so very you.

Hot Take: It's actually about what YOU want.

Stress-Free, Story-Driven Photography In Michigan

 You’ll get the classic big moments, yes — but also the messy hair, crooked boutonnieres, dog photobombs, and late-night dance floor mayhem that made your day yours. I want your photos to feel like memories in motion — honest, emotional, and impossible to stage.

My style lives somewhere between calm documentary and joyful chaos. 

For couples who want to skip the stiff posing, the cookie-cutter timelines, and the traditions that don’t feel right. Maybe your day looks like eating tacos on the porch with your closest friends, exchanging vows under the pines while your dog circles your feet, or sneaking out during the reception to dip your toes in Lake Michigan. My job? To help you slow down, breathe it all in, and make sure those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments don’t slip by.

Weddings & Elopements 

Because your story doesn’t start or stop at “I do.” My portrait sessions include couples, families, and seniors — the real-life, everyday chapters that deserve to be remembered. Think golden-hour walks, chaotic dog photobombs, and laughter that doesn’t need a reason.

Thank you Gabrielle for the great job you did! You captured our spirits through your lens — which is so important! 

I CANNOT STOP LOOKING AT OUR PHOTOS. I AM OBSESSED.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING…

Wherever you are in your story — getting married, eloping in the UP, or just celebrating life as it is right now — I’d love to capture it.
