Diana and Joshua’s wedding was an absolute joy from beginning to end. A celebration as vibrant and fun as the two of them. Their ceremony took place at the stunning Marygrove Conservancy in Detroit, where the soaring architecture created breathtaking surroundings that needed no embellishment. Later, the party moved to 215 West Ferndale, a stylish bar in downtown Ferndale, where Diana’s incredible vision came to life. From glittering disco-inspired details to a dance floor that never slowed down, every moment radiated energy, love, and personality. It was a day that perfectly reflected who they are, elegant, lively, and unforgettable.

Nhu and Kerry’s wedding in Grand Rapids was the perfect blend of elegance, spontaneity, and heartfelt tradition. They exchanged vows in a beautiful chapel, surrounded by family and friends, before an unexpected construction issue gave us the chance to get creative. With quick thinking, we pivoted to a nearby parking garage rooftop, which turned out to be a stunning backdrop for portraits with the city skyline glowing around them. The evening continued at the Revel Center, where their celebration was filled with joy, dancing, and the beauty of honoring meaningful Filipino wedding traditions. Their day was a reminder that sometimes the unplanned moments create the most unforgettable memories.

working with Autumn as our wedding photographer was an absolute dream.
From start to finish, working with Autumn as our wedding photographer was an absolute dream. She was so easy to talk to and made the planning process stress-free by walking us through the timeline and all the “must-have” shots ahead of time.
One of the best things about Autumn is how flexible and genuinely excited she is to capture what matters most to you. Just a few days before the wedding, I asked to shift our focus from getting-ready photos to more reception and party shots—and she pivoted without hesitation. It was 100% the right call. We now have a collection of incredible photos that show just how much fun our guests had, which was one of my top priorities (besides getting married, of course!).
