About
Hi there! I’m August!
* I ' M *
- an LGBTQ+ inclusive documentary wedding + portrait photographer
- based in Detroit, but will go anywhere for you!
- a former 35mm film photography art school student - film has always been my passion
- in love with love! & exclamation points!
- a natural documentarian. I document people organically, meaning I'm unobtrusive, supportive, & candid. I'm here for YOU, so you can focus on being present
- really fast when shooting because I want to give you a gallery that feels like it was photographed by 4 different people lol. blurry, flash, film, digital, candid, editorial, you name it, I got it
- a huge bookworm, thrift store connoisseur, music festival go-er, & mom to a hairless cat named Winston
My focus is to capture the overall *feeling* of this time in your life, through textures and colors and emotions, the little tiny details and the big picture.
We’re here for the magic of authentic moments and how things *truly* felt.
I hope we have the chance to get to know each other! Thank you for being here!
There has always been a camera in hand — I want to hear your story and capture it authentically.
FAQ
How much do wedding packages cost?
Traditional wedding packages begin at $3,000, but custom per-hour options are available for anything less than 6 hours of coverage. Get in touch with me to chat about what you’re looking for!
Do you travel?
Yes! I am based in Detroit, but have been lucky enough to travel to document amazing people & celebrations. Let's chat more about your vision!
What would I expect working with you?
You can expect someone who deeply cares about you, your vision, & your story, & will do whatever I can to capture the authentic you. With check-ins, phone calls, FaceTimes, questionnaires, and advice, I make sure we are all on the same page before, during, and after your wedding day. I want to know your story & how we can work together to make it come alive through photos. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible before we meet, so you can be present & in the moment when we begin our time together. On the day, you can expect me to calmly help keep our itinerary going, fade into the mist & document you in an unobtrusive way, & be an energetic supporter for whatever you may want or need.
