meet Alaina

Your wedding will be one of the most important days of your lives. This is why I have approached dozens of weddings with the mindset of capturing your day truthfully.

These are the images that will be on your walls and passed down throughout generations. You deserve to be seen and photographed as you are. I do not take this responsibility lightly which is why I have proudly served Detroit and nationwide couples for nearly three years and will continue to do so.

One of the best things a wedding photographer can learn to master is the art of observing. Not only observing the scene, the lighting, and the elements of your day. It means observing what makes you, you. Observing all of your favorite people who have gathered to celebrate your love. During your wedding day, I will observe and document your day as it was.

"Alaina made our engagement shoot a breeze. She was super easy to communicate with & asked about our vision and love story to prepare. It was hard to choose our favorites for our Save-the-Dates and Wedding invites. We couldn't be happier!"
