Our Story
2017
- As Catholic photographers, it may not surprise you that we met on the March for Life in Washington DC while on a high school trip with the same school, on the same bus after a 15 hour drive. Turns out God works with about 1000 miles of travel to meet your future spouse who lived only 7 miles from you to begin with! It just took a push to get us together.
-Grace was graduating high school and headed off to Purdue University, Michael going into junior year of high school. Despite knowing that distance would be hard and that marriage was years away still, we both decided to begin dating, pursuing one another with the goal of marriage in mind.
2019
- Michael graduated high school and headed to Ball State University to study Architecture and continue the long distance pursuit of a beautiful future bride!
2022
-As the years went by and after many life changes and shifts, Michael popped the big question with beautiful custom designed diamond ring in hand out at dinner one night on our fifth year anniversary! A beautiful ring made by a Catholic ring shop owner was perfect for Grace.
-There began the one year and 6 month engagement period before the wedding as planning and so many other things stressed us. This included an additional seven months of long distance engagement where Michael worked an internship in Cincinnati, Ohio.
2023
-In 2023, we got married in Carmel, Indiana, at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church! It was certainly no destination wedding but it was truly the most amazing day. Almost a year after the wedding has already taught us so much and has certainly offered us a conviction in Catholic art and Catholic wedding photography.
We have been inspired by so many around us to produce digital media, wedding photography, family, maternity, lifestyle photography, and more that honors God as well as those around us. From wedding photography to graphic prints, we have learned to love what we do all from starting with our very own friends. We have been in and around many Catholic weddings in just the last two years allowing us to fall in love not only with the Lord but particularly for the vocation of matrimony and the beauty of family life.
We are goof balls and jokesters with a passion for Christ and family. If you're wanting to schedule a short meeting or even just inquire about our work, take a look at the rest of our website for packages, graphic art, and our wedding photography portfolio. Feel free to reach out on the "Inquire" page or by sending us a DM on our Instagram @michael.and.grace.photography!
2024
-We just moved to Cincinnati, OH, and are so excited to see what the future holds. We are also now expecting a little one of our own and so excited to welcome baby Greener into the world in early 2025!!
