Sweet Kristen reached out to me recently, with ambitions to treat her mom to a birthday family photoshoot at Kensington Metropark.

One of my favorite things about this business is being able to partake in so many touching moments with my clients. I had a riot photographing Christina + Nick’s wedding a few summers back out in Farmington. Now, here we are together again prancing around Kensington with their bouncing baby boy, Connor!

It's been absolutely wonderful to see couples persevering with their wedding planning through this horrible pandemic. So much loss and stress is now being replaced with intimacy, love, and joy.

Wrangling a big family for photos can be a stressor. Especially when you only have 15 minutes until grand entrance, and your brother-in-law has already wandered to cocktail hour! It’s happened many times before, so I’m writing today to teach you everything you need to know to avoid this headache

Details, details! I just love the juicy details! When planning a wedding you put so much time into the little things like your sage and mauve color palette, your bohemian invitation suite, your birch and floral alter decor

I love this list. It’s a broad view that outlines getting engaged through getting your marriage license, as well as all the little steps in between.

Oh the first look. A popular topic tossed back and fourth by all couples planning a wedding. Should we do it so we don’t ugly cry in front of everyone we know and love? Should we not so we don’t rob the groom of that unforgettable moment of seeing his bride walk down the aisle?

When I first opened Light Garden Photography in 2015 I repeatedly asked myself, “Who is Light Garden for?” I pondered and pondered this question over several years as I brought deeper meaning to this business and the experience I wished to provide.

Happy Valentines Day! What better way to celebrate this day of love than with a heartfelt wedding gallery! My two very dear friends Adrienne Dusky + Charlie Ramsey tied the knot earlier this month at the Belle Isle Conservatory. These two planned a super sentimental "micro wedding" here in Detroit with their nearest and dearest.

When it comes to hiring wedding vendors, I like to think of it like assembling your dream team of wedding gurus who you’re dying to be pampered by on your big day!
