Couple exchanging vows at golden hour ceremony

Weddings

Photography that
feels like memory.

Your wedding day is a living, breathing thing — not a sequence of poses to check off a list. My job is to move through the day with you, staying present enough to catch the moments that make a photograph worth keeping.

I work documentary-style with a formal eye: I won't miss the portrait work, but I'm most alive when something unrehearsed happens — your grandmother's expression during the vows, two old friends catching up in a corner, the quiet moment between ceremony and reception when it's just the two of you.

I've photographed weddings from elopements in Northern Michigan's forests to 300-guest celebrations across Michigan. Every one is different. Every one matters.

What couples say

"

Pete has an incredible eye for the quiet, real moments — our first look, the tears during vows, my dad squeezing my hand before walking me down the aisle. We didn't have to pose for any of it. Our photos feel like us.

We were nervous about having a photographer follow us all day, but Pete made us completely forget the camera was there. The gallery took our breath away. Worth every penny.
