Michigan Based Wedding Photographer

Photography with authenticity, artistry, and heart.

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration—a place of love, connection, and joy shared with the people who matter most. That’s why I take a documentary-style approach to wedding photography, focusing on the candid, unscripted moments that make your day truly yours.

From the first email to the delivery of your final gallery, I’m here to guide you through the entire process. My approach is grounded in communication, intention, and care, ensuring that your wedding day photography feels seamless and meaningful from start to finish.

  • SHE HAS EVERY ASPECT DOWN TO THE SMALLEST DETAILS

    “Sydney was an absolutely amazing photographer! My parents were wedding photographers for 20+ years and so our expectations were pretty high and Sydney far exceeded all of them! She has every aspect down to the smallest details so the day ran so smooth. She had the perfect locations set up for us and a perfect timeline. She delivered so many incredible photos to us, and captured the day perfectly. We highly recommend Sydney, and will cherish our photos forever.”

    -CARLEY + ZACK

  • SHE NAILED IT

    “Sydney was AMAZING! We had the pleasure of having her photograph our proposal, engagement and wedding and she nailed each session. She took the time to get to know us and understand our style. Our photos are fun, authentic and beautiful and we will cherish them forever!”

  • SHE WAS SO MUCH FUN TO WORK WITH

    Sydney was one of the best parts of our wedding day! My wife and I decided to have a very small ceremony in Grand Haven (and had never visited!), and Sydney was so helpful and kind in telling us about local photo spots and helping us plan for photos. On the day of our wedding, she was so much fun to work with, not to mention an excellent photographer. I couldn't recommend her more!!!

Tailored Wedding Experience

Each couple brings their own energy, their own moments, and their own vision to the day—and it’s my job to capture that in a way that feels true to you. I believe in creating custom tailored collections, which is why I take time to connect with you during our consultation. This allows me to understand your needs and vision while also giving you the chance to get to know me, my style, and how I work to ensure we’re the perfect fit for your day. On average, couples invest between 8500-12k for their full photography experience.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives the care, creativity, and connection their day deserves. Let’s work together to craft a custom proposal that reflects your vision.
