UNFORGETTABLE MICHIGAN WEDDINGS

You’ve found your perfect someone. Your soulmate. And now you’re ready to pledge your love to each other in front of your friends and family. The planning for this day has been meticulous, down to the very tiniest of details. Each of them unique to your and your partner. With the right wedding photographer — hopefully that’s me and we can work together to help preserve those moments and emotions shared on your special day. Imagine being able to look through your wedding album 10, 15, 20 years from now, and have all of those memories flood back to you. That is the reason for wedding photography. That is the reason why I spend my time with incredible couples, photographing Michigan Weddings.

LET’S TALK—BECAUSE CHEMISTRY MATTERS (AND NOT JUST BETWEEN YOU TWO)

Anyway first things first, I want to talk with you and your partner! Choosing a wedding photographer is a very personal decision and it’s important our personalities mesh well. We will discuss where you will be holding your ceremony and reception, and everything else specific to your special day.  Don’t worry if you don’t have it all planned out yet, that’s totally okay! I just want to hear your vision of your wedding. During our meeting, I will always suggest you take advantage of an engagement session. This is a great way to get used to being in front of the camera and experience working together before the biggest day of your life!

WHAT DOES A MICHIGAN ELOPEMENT LOOK LIKE?

The short answer — however you want! A wedding is always a romantic celebration, but an elopement is an experience truly between just you and your partner. The stunning locations for a Michigan elopement are endless and you’re sure to find the perfect location for your vision, no matter how big or small.


From an elopement adventure to exchanging vows in a living room, I will make sure the story of your love is told beautifully. An elopement is as fancy, DIY, or as laid back as you want it to be! That’s the thing about an elopement – it can be whatever you want! Many times it has just been the couple, the officiant, and myself at an elopement. On the other hand, you could do a micro wedding with the most important people in your life in attendance. Either way you choose to go, I promise you will fall in love all over again as you look back at your wedding photos.

HOW IS A MICRO WEDDING DIFFERENT THAN AN ELOPEMENT?

Elopements and micro weddings are very similar. A micro wedding typically has less than 50 guests. Maybe the two of you have a private ceremony with a celebration afterwards. Or maybe you invite your guest to both, the ceremony and the reception — the choice is yours. There’s just something magical about having a micro wedding though. It’s a very intimate experience and with the limited number of guests you are truly surrounded by those that care about you the most.

If you need help planning your Michigan elopement or micro wedding, I would be more than happy to help guide you to finding the perfect location. No matter what kind of ceremony you choose, the main thing is you get to spend your day celebrating the love in your life, exactly how you want to.

I was really impressed with Natalie Mae Photography. My husband and I really liked that she didn’t just do traditional shots of our engagement and wedding photos, though we got all of the typical shots as well. It’s kind of cool to have friends and family over and get compliments every time on some of the more artistic shots. Not only was Natalie Mae Photography professional and produce quality work, the price pretty much blew everyone else out of the water. I will be using NMP when we have babies and when we need family shots as well.
