Weddings

My work blends natural storytelling with editorial portraiture to document weddings in a timeless way. Whether your wedding takes place along the Oregon Coast, in the mountains of Arizona, at the Utah Salt Flats, or somewhere entirely new, my goal is to create photographs that feel elegant, emotional, and lasting.


Wedding collections begin at $4,200 Typical investment is around $6,000 for Michigan Weddings

Elopements

As a destination elopement photographer, I document intimate wedding days in breathtaking locations. From Sedona’s red rocks to the Utah Salt Flats and dramatic coastlines, elopements are about creating a meaningful experience that reflects your relationship. I approach these days with a storytelling mindset, capturing both the quiet moments and the beauty of the landscape around you.


Small Michigan Elopement coverage begins at $2,000


Destination wedding coverage begins at $6,500

COUPLES & FAMILIES

Portrait sessions are designed to capture people in a natural and timeless way. Whether it's family, motherhood, couples, or personal portraits, my goal is to create images that feel relaxed, honest, and beautifully composed. Sessions are guided but never overly posed, allowing real connection and personality to come through in every photograph.


Seasonal Mini sessions $400

Full Portrait Sessions $650

Extended family sessions $1,200



Payment plans are available for all collections.

"We’ll cherish these memories forever"


Aleena was so amazing during our shoot! She not only embraced the chaos of our 4 littles, but made my vision come to life in her photos! We will cherish these photos forever and can’t wait to have her back to capture more moments for us!

"We love every single image"


Aleena is a fantastic photographer to work with! My wife and I have had engagement photos, wedding photos and family photos all taken with her and we have had a fantastic experience every time. She’s very personable and makes the experience very enjoyable. As someone who is not great at posing, she does a great job at giving fun prompts that make it much easier to be in front of the camera. On top of that, you can tell that a ton of time and effort is put into editing to provide an incredible final product! Will definitely be continuing to use her services for the foreseeable future!
