Photos that help you relive your favorite memories

You like a good adventure and all the chaos that comes along with it. You prefer a hole in the wall restaurant over the tourist trap. Sometimes you stray a little outside the box, whatever that means. But no matter what, you enjoy life to the max, and you laugh at whatever the universe brings your way.

Candid, FUN, intimate, classy, and timeless are some words that come to mind when you think about how you want your wedding day captured.

If that sounds something like you, let's chat!

That sounds like me!

I'm Simone, a Michigan-based destination wedding + elopement photographer

Thanks for stopping by! I'm not sure if the love for adventure brought us together, or some SEO wizardry, but I'm glad we found each other! I love meeting people and learning from everyone I meet. My pronouns are she/her.

I grew up in Detroit, moved around the US for a while, spent a year traveling through 24 countries with Remote Year, and have lived in my self-converted van, Boots, exploring North America. I'll try almost anything once and love a good adventure!

Hey adventurer!
