After decades photographing weddings on Mackinac Island, I noticed a pattern. Couples arriving without a planner, or with one who didn`t understand what makes this island so unique. Logistics unraveling. Stress rising. An me, stepping in to solve problems that had little to do with photography.

That is what lead me to planning. I am in love with this island, and with what a wedding here can become when it is executed with elegance and intention. Few places on earth offer more…

When the two vendors who shape your entire day are one and the same, something rare becomes possible. I know which details turn a beautiful day into an exceptional one, and how to capture them. I know which vendors deliver, because I coordinate as one myself. And I know what it takes to create a Mackinac Island wedding your guests will talk about for years.

I bring something else to this work, too. Before the island, I spent nearly a decade in Hollywood working closely with a well-known director. Planning dinners, wrap parties, and premieres for major films, and helping his wife host her own elegant gatherings for an A-list circle.  That world demanded precision, discretion, and flawless execution under any circumstances. I bring all of it.

My couples want the very best, without carrying the weight of it themselves. They want a day full of laughter, ease, and joy. If that sounds like you, we will work beautifully together. And if you already have a photographer or planner you love, I am just as glad to collaborate. What matters most is that your time on Mackinac exceeds everything you imagined.
