YOUR Michigan PHOTOGRAPHER Capturing the True and Unique You in Every Frame

Hiya! I’m Angie

(She/Her)

photographer • adventure-seeker • professional multitasker • WIFE TO ANTHONY • MAMA TO EDDY SUE & CLAIRE MARIE

As a recovering high school English teacher, my journey as a wedding photographer began as a rediscovery of the captivating beauty in everyday moments.

Since dusting off the camera in 2011 and becoming a full-time photographer in 2014, I’ve had the privilege of documenting over 200 weddings at diverse venues across the Hawaiian islands and beyond -but what truly defines me is not just my lens craft, but my role as a mother.

When I welcomed my first daughter in 2017, my perspective on life shifted profoundly. Beyond being a wedding photographer, I’ve become a keeper of memories—a role that resonates deeply with the belief that your wedding day is a pivotal chapter in your ever-evolving story.

I am here to offer more than just photography; I am your ally in preserving the intricate details of your best day ever. From the subtle tear in your mom’s eye to your nephew picking his nose during the ceremony, and even your uncle’s inappropriate dancefloor shenanigans — these are the moments that make your day uniquely yours.

While details may fade over time, the emotions and memories will endure through your carefully curated photos to share with the generations to come.

LEAVING YOUR MARK

IT’S ALL ABOUT LEGACY


The most important things to me will always be my friends and family.

Which is why, as a Michigan wedding photographer, I’m hard-wired to take photographing your day so seriously.
Creating a visual inheritance to pass down to your children and grandchildren – it’s why I do what I do.

COOL SHIT I’VE DONE

I’ve gone on a lot of crazy adventures over the years – both in my pre-parent life and in my now-mom life. From traveling around the world to paddling to almost every Hawaiian island, I’ve been fortunate enough to do some really cool (or maybe stupid?) shit and photographed it every step of the way.

There was no question about who HAD to photograph our wedding.

Angie is IT. She is so fun, professional, and down to try just about anything. I cannot even describe how grateful we are for the moments Angie captured on our wedding day. Worth. Every. Penny.

 – Brooke and Jason
