Michigan Wedding and family Photographer

Michigan based - frequently travels to Ohio, Indiana, Chicago and New York (+ anywhere in the world)

Hey there!

My name is Brettina. It's pronounced like Brett and Tina put together and yes, my mom sort of made it up. I am a wedding and family photographer born and raised in Michigan. I live near Lapeer, Michigan but travel frequently to Detroit, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Rochester, and honestly almost every city in Michigan. (But don't worry! I also travel out of state!)


Feel awkward in front of the camera or never know how to pose yourself? No worries! One of my main goals is to make everyone feel comfortable and beautiful (and I'll definitely let you know what to do with your hands). Every single person is different and they cannot be photographed the same way. I strive for inclusivity in my work and representing the beauty in everyone.


In my free time, you'll find me drinking iced coffee like my life depends on it and reading a book, watching Netflix, or playing video games. Want to see if we would be a good fit? Check out my About Me page for more info about myself and my photography journey.

"I am not typically one who is comfortable in front of a camera, but Brettina made it incredibly relaxing for me and we had a ball together. The photos are amazing, and she is just such a delightful person to work with. I recommend 1000x over! My wife fell in love with the album she delivered us, as she captured shots from unique angles that produced more eye catching images. She captured all the details that we worked so hard on, and am so happy to have these memories forever. Thank you, from the Natke’s"
