Holly's
approach

As part of the most well documented generation, it's important to tell your piece of history purposefully, authentically, and in a meaningful way for your future generations. That is what I do.

As a wedding photographer in Detroit, we've become known as a premier photographer for small weddings in Michigan. We specialize in intimate celebrations where every connection feels personal and every detail matters.

With more than 20 years of experience, I bring not only technical expertise but also a calm, reassuring presence that allows you and your loved ones to feel completely at ease. My approach is unobtrusive yet intentional, ensuring each moment is documented naturally, without interrupting the flow of your day.

When you trust me to photograph your wedding, you’ll be free to fully experience and savor every genuine moment, knowing your memories are being preserved with authenticity, care, and timeless artistry.
