2027 is shaping up to be a big year at M/K Studios, and I want to share what's new before booking season gets busy. In short: I'm traveling throughout the Midwest for weddings, I'm making more room for intimate weddings and elopements here in Marquette and the Keweenaw, every package now includes Super 8 style video and film photos, and you'll get your images faster than ever.
Here's what that means for you.
Now booking weddings throughout the Midwest
Whether you're getting married in a Wisconsin barn, a Minnesota lake town, downtown Chicago or anywhere in Michigan, I'd love to be there. I'm booking 2027 weddings across the Midwest, and I'm happy to travel to wherever your day takes place.
Every wedding gets the same approach: documentary-style coverage that tells the real story of your day, from getting ready to the last dance. If you're planning a wedding anywhere in the region, reach out with your date and location and we'll talk through what you have in mind.
15% off Great Lakes weddings
Some of my favorite places to photograph are along the Great Lakes, so for 2027 I'm offering 15% off weddings in these areas:
Door County, Wisconsin
Bayfield, Wisconsin
Traverse City, Michigan
Duluth, Minnesota
Minnesota's North Shore

More intimate weddings and elopements in Marquette and the Keweenaw
The Upper Peninsula is home, and there's no better place to say "I do" with just the people who matter most. For 2027, I'm setting aside more dates for intimate weddings and elopements in the Marquette and Keweenaw area.
Picture vows on a Lake Superior beach at sunset, on a rocky overlook above the water, or deep in the fall color on a quiet trail. Smaller celebrations leave more time to slow down, explore and actually enjoy the day together, and I know the local spots, the light and the seasons well enough to help you plan around them.
Whether it's just the two of you or a small group of family and friends, I'd love to help you plan an Upper Peninsula wedding that feels completely like you.
Every package now includes Super 8 style video and film photos
Starting in 2027, every M/K Studios package includes two things I love most:
Super 8 emulation video: short, nostalgic clips with the warm grain, soft color and dreamy motion of vintage Super 8 film. They capture the movement, laughter and little in-between moments that photos can't, and they feel like home movies you'll want to rewatch for years.
Film photos: a set of images shot on film alongside your digital gallery. Film brings rich skin tones, natural grain and a timeless look that feels made to be printed and passed down.
You don't need to add anything or pay extra. It's part of every wedding and elopement I photograph.
Faster delivery, plus a sneak peek
I know how hard it is to wait for your photos, so I've streamlined my process for 2027:
Sneak peek within 24–48 hours: a preview of favorite images shortly after your wedding, perfect for sharing with family and friends while the excitement is still fresh.
Full gallery in 6–8 weeks: your complete, fully edited collection, including your film photos and Super 8 style video, delivered 6 to 8 weeks after your wedding.
Let's plan your 2027 wedding
2027 dates are open now, and intimate weddings and elopements in the Upper Peninsula are limited, especially in summer and fall color season. If you're starting to plan, send me a message with your date, location and a little about what you're envisioning. I can't wait to hear your story.
