Frankie and Maurisa’s Magical Wedding at Planterra Conservatory

On Sunday, April 27, 2025, we had the honor of photographing Frankie and Maurisa’s unforgettable wedding day at the lush and luminous Planterra Conservatory in West Bloomfield, Michigan. This spring celebration overflowed with color, emotion, and joy—an inspiring reflection of the love they share and the family they’ve created.

We began the day capturing intimate moments as Frankie and Maurisa spent time with their closest family and friends. Before heading to the conservatory, they shared private vows and exchanged thoughtful gifts—beautiful, emotional moments that set the tone for everything to come.

From there, we made our way to Planterra, where Frankie and Maurisa shared a touching first look among the greenery. Surrounded by their joyful bridal party, we documented portraits full of laughter, elegance, and heartfelt connection. Their ceremony, officiated by Frankie’s father Frank, added an incredibly personal element that moved everyone in attendance. With Maurisa’s daughter standing beside them, the ceremony beautifully honored the joining of families and the beginning of a new chapter.
