I met Kelcie and Noelle for the first time in person when we met downtown for their Detroit engagement session. This engagement session is the second of it’s kind where we worked together to created a walkable tour around downtown. Instead of focusing on a single location, the stroll downtown made it so much fun to walk, chat, and get to know each other. Not to mention the magic that is a Detroit engagement session.
Noelle and Kelcie met while they were both living in New York City. Kelcie’s grad program brought them to Michigan and even though she has to commute to Ann Arbor a few days each week, the choice to live downtown has proven to be worth it. I am so excited to bump into them during future NFL Lions games! They are huge sports fans. They watch it all! College, pro teams, football, basketball, you name it – they love it.
Kelcie and Noelle, I truly had the very best time frolicking around Detroit with you both. I absolutely cannot wait until your Planterra wedding in May!!






















Karli has been Kari’s creative partner for five years. Before every wedding, we visualize you as a couple, your venue, and your day, so we walk in prepared for a calm, intentional experience.
Kari is the creative director, and since she’s only human and can’t be everywhere at once, Karli closes the gaps. She shoots alongside Kari, keeps the day on schedule, carries your bouquet, fixes your veil, and is a real-life cheering squad.
That’s not even the best part. She’s also Kari’s daughter, which means we communicate without words. She anticipates what Kari needs before she asks, and together we’ve built a wedding-day rhythm you'll notice.
share a cherished story from your time together. Could be how you met, a travel story, a date night, or anything else that comes to mind.
