I can’t say enough positive things about Jean because honestly, her work speaks for itself. Jean is an incredible, dynamic, powerhouse of a photographer. She has the gift of putting her subjects at ease while capturing their pure emotions. From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, Jean has given us the ability to relive the best memories from this time in our lives and we’ll cherish that forever.
We could not be happier with our wedding photos! Jean was fun and easy to work with. We really wanted to focus on being in the moment, so it meant so much to us to have a photographer that we trusted to capture the day in such an authentic and beautiful way. We still get so many compliments on our wedding photos and hope to work with her again in the future!
The images she captured became the stars of the night. The essence of love, devotion, joy, and celebration just beams from each photo! She’s so beyond talented and cares so immensely and has the most insane vision. Because of her we get to relive our wedding everyday through the images all over our house!
All of my collections include at least 8 hours of coverage, but I work with you on your timeline to see how many hours we'll need from start to finish. If we end up needing to add additional coverage, no problem, each additional hour of coverage is $250/hour.
Yes forever and always! All of my collections include a second photographer. I have been working with the same photographers for years and years so we know each other's flows and systems.
Ahhhh, if I could have a dollar for every time I've heard this. The point is, YOU'RE NOT ALONE. Most people don't get professional photos on a regular basis and don't know what to do in front of a camera. No worries, as long as you're willing to take direction and have a good time, I'll take care of the rest!
I’m based in Michigan and North Carolina, but travel throughout the U.S. and worldwide for weddings, elopements, and sessions. You can view my 2026–27 travel schedule here, but I’d love to hear about your plans if your location or timing isn’t listed.
I almost cringe even writing this (and knocking on wood) because I have never missed a wedding in my almost 20 years of shooting. Unless I am LITERALLY on my death bed, I will be at your wedding. If, heaven forbid, something happened, I have associate and second shooters that I have been working with for years and fully trust.
For sure! I love doing all kinds of couples sessions (engagement, newlywed, anniversary, maternity, just because)! You don't have to have a future wedding to book a couples session.
My rates are not flexible or negotiable. I schedule a very limited amount of weddings per year and I already have to turn away many couples as it is.
Yes ABSOLUTELY! When we go over your timeline, we always include a chunk of time before or after the ceremony for posed family photos. I will work with you on special requests and family combinations.
For engagement sessions, you'll receive your gallery within two weeks. For weddings, you'll receive your gallery around 6 weeks from the wedding date (with immediate download access for your images). Your album design and print process will take about 3 weeks.
For a typical 8 hour wedding, you will receive at least 800 photos. If we have more hourly coverage (that doesn't include driving), you will receive more. For an engagement session, you will receive around 100 photos.
Photographers retain copyright to their images, but you’ll receive a full print and personal use release, so you can print, create albums, share on social media, etc. The only restriction is that images can’t be sold or altered.
Yep! Your entire collection of photos is culled through one by one and the final selections are edited to look like what you see on my website and social media.
The only two things I need to secure your wedding date on my calendar are the wedding contract and the deposit. The deposit is $1000 and that full amount will go toward your wedding collection. Please click here if you're ready to chat!
I’ll never tell my couples they have to do a first look...your day should reflect your vision. That said, with a later ceremony (late afternoon or evening), I do recommend one. Without it, photo time is limited and usually means missing most/all of cocktail hour. A first look allows us to get everything done beforehand so everyone can enjoy cocktail hour.
I have a list of must-have shots I get at every wedding. However, we go over your final details a month or two before the wedding and if you have some specific requests that I wouldn't normally know about or have some wedding photo inspiration, I would love for you to pass those along!
Although I love doing video as a hobby, this isn't something I offer to clients right now. If you need suggestions, I have several teams that I love their work and love working with! Just ask!
I'll drop in with tips, education, deals, and announcements. Enter your email to be the first to know!
