Our Background

Husband and wife photography team, Gabe and Jennifer Hillebrand, have a combined 30-plus year history in fine art and photojournalistic photography.

Jennifer grew up in Metro Detroit and has a Bachelor of Arts from the fine and performing arts school, Emerson College located in Boston, Massachusetts. There, she studied Photography, Theatre, and Writing. No stranger to the entertainment industry and having worked commercially as a print model and actress, Jennifer began her photography career in Boston photographing celebrity musicians, album covers for bands, and portfolios for aspiring actors and models.

Born in and raised in one of the nation's most art-centric regions, the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Gabe attended Bethel University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art and Art History. From there, he made his way to Michigan to attend the internationally renowned Cranbrook Academy of Art where he earned his Master of Fine Arts, was selected to have his photography featured at the Hudson Valley of Contemporary Art in New York, and married Jennifer.

Our Style of Photography

We specialize in wedding photojournalism, lifestyle portraiture, fashion and editorial-style photography.  Stepping into your world, we photograph you in your environment, your life, your style. We are inspired by art, fashion, nature and most importantly, our subjects. We love uncovering the elements that make each person, couple, or family distinct from the next. Using the camera, it's our goal to see and to show those profound and beautiful things.

The end result? Photographs that are unique. Photographs that are you.

Ryan & CamieLee’s Wedding

Ryan and CamieLee (whom you may remember from their engagement session post last fall) tied the knot recently at VanHoosen Farms in Rochester which is fitting because Ryan grew up on dairy farm in central Michigan. Unconventional and artistic, just like the couple that they are, their wedding was a Saturday morning affair with lots of vintage farm decor. On this particular morning, the weather was calling for severe thunderstorms…not what you want to hear for your outdoor-with-no-back-up-plan wedding. It rained and rained, but as the 9am ceremony time drew closer, the rain started to lighten until it disappeared all together and the sun came out JUST as Camie started down the aisle! No lie. It was absolutely breathtaking. Of the thousands of images we captured from their day, here are some of our favorites. To see the images larger, just click on them. Enjoy!
