Both born and raised in the Midwest ( Colette in Chicago, Tom in Detroit ) we met as freshmen at Ave Maria University in sunny Southwest Florida. Married on a late summer day, our wedding memories will always have a warm glow about them. We cried at communion, champagne toasted with our beloved families, and had our first dance to Etta James as she sang, “And here we are in heaven for you are mine at last.”
The joy we experienced at our own wedding sparked a deep passion for documenting the Sacrament of Marriage. Even now as we look at our wedding album we are edified in our journey to build a beautiful, faith-filled legacy. In that way, wedding photography ages like fine wine. Those timeless portraits aren’t just for right now — if you’re anything like us they’ll become an enduring reminder of where it all began and what you hope to create. We are now blessed to travel across the Midwest documenting love stories for couples and families.

The wedding Experience
Inspired by the style and aesthetic of a bygone era, we shoot a hybrid of film and digital photography.
Being film wedding photographers allows us to weave together a rich collection of imagery that is both elevated and honest. From warm exchanges between loved ones to editorial portraits fit for a frame — your final gallery will be filled with elegant photos that mean something to you and those you love.

As Catholic Wedding Photographers, we are passionate about artfully capturing every moment of your wedding day because ultimately, we believe that it is sacred.
As you envision the first day of your marriage, you’re looking for wedding photography that goes deeper than pretty details and latest trends. You want timeless portraits that reflect your love, the light and beauty that surrounds you, and the holiness of the Sacrament itself.
With an editorial eye and photojournalistic approach — our imagery reverences the depth and meaning of a Catholic wedding while keeping a sophisticated, timeless, and quintessentially classic style that endures. Your wedding is a beautiful beginning. We’d love to be a part of it.
Our Catholic faith and family are at the very heart of everything we do. They are not just part of our lives, they are the foundation. As parents now, we know firsthand how precious and fleeting the moments of togetherness with your loved ones can be. Family is everything to us. The core of our purpose and the inspiration behind our work.
We believe that the true beauty of a wedding day goes far beyond the flowers, the décor, or the details. It is, first and foremost, about the Sacrament of Marriage, the sacred joining of two becoming one before God. At each wedding we have the honor of photographing, we approach your day with the same care, reverence, and intention we would want for our own family. We understand that these memories will become treasured heirlooms, carrying the weight of your vows and the grace of your sacrament for generations to come.
