About
Hi, I’m August!
* I *
- am an LGBTQ+ inclusive documentary wedding + portrait photographer, making art candid, romantic, + fun, + catered to you!
- am based in Detroit + available worldwide
- went to art school for 35mm film photography. All of my film is scanned by hand - It really is my bread + butter!
- began my wedding photography career in 2015, but had my work published internationally + featured in galleries well before then :) My career started in fashion + editorial
- am a natural + intuitive documentarian, meaning I work organically in an unobtrusive, supportive, + candid way
- am an avid bookworm + 99% of my closet + house is thrifted/vintage! I'm a total homebody, but I love attending concerts + music festivals, going to Pistons games, traveling, + thrifting my next "grandma chic" outfit. If I don't have my hands on something creative, it's probably because I'm hanging out with my sweet baby hairless cat, Winston :,)
My love for this job is to photograph the distinctly unique - The niche, the weird, the tenderness. The overall *feeling*, the intrinsic human raw emotion of this time in your life, through textures, colors, movement, artful intention + expression, ardency, + care.
i hope we have the chance to get to know each other <3 thank you for being here.
FAQ
How much do wedding packages cost?
Traditional wedding packages begin at $5,500, and custom per-hour options are available for anything less than 6 hours of coverage.
Do you travel?
Yes, I am available worldwide! I am based in Detroit, but have been lucky enough to travel around the country for weddings + engagement sessions.
What would I expect working with you?
You can expect someone who deeply cares about you, your vision, + your story. As a photographer, I can be as hands-on or hands-off as you need, but I hope it always feels like you're with a friend - Comforted, cheered on, + welcomed. With check-ins, phone calls, FaceTimes, questionnaires, + advice, I make sure we are all on the same page before, during, + after your wedding day. On the day, you can expect me to calmly help keep our itinerary going, fade into the mist, document in an artful unobtrusive way, + be an energetic supporter for whatever you may want or need.
