Candid, human focused photographer for those here to enjoy the f*ck out of every moment
I’m a Spain and Michigan based wedding photographer that prioritizes the peace and utter enjoyment of each client I work with.
My approach is guided by the belief that photography is energy work, capturing and transporting your love and joy to the future, with the intention of creating an environment where you and your closest loved ones can completely relax and soak in the beauty of each present moment.
"Miles North Creative Company is truly a 5 star experience. We didn't have to worry about a thing as Dylan was an excellent communicator, planned accordingly, was flexible with our unique requests, and took stunning photographs of our special day. He was even willing to wake up well before sunrise to hike 3 miles up Mt Baldy with us for a sunrise ceremony! We highly recommend him and will be using MNCC again in the future for any photography needs we have come up!"
-Johanna and James (Michigan Wedding)
Photography is energy work.
Taking the light waves from your partner’s ecstatic face and transporting them to when you’re 89, swiping through the holographic display, reliving the precious moment.
You want your photos to show your real life, as it is, not a collection of set up, posed scenes detached from the raw beauty of your partner's slightly crooked smile or your parents' tears as they watch your first dance.
Included in all services:
All services include planning collaboration, location scouting, free high resolution downloads from an online gallery, and the peace of mind that you’re working with a calm, kind professional.
Wedding Packages
Full Weekend
Full weekend coverage is for couples who believe no moment is ‘too small’ or insignificant to be preserved through my lens during their wedding weekend. These couples know that their wedding is a once in a lifetime experience and that it deserves to be documented to the fullest. From the arrival, settling in, and welcome drinks, through the incredible celebration, all the way to the post wedding pool party, each memory will live with the couple through a gorgeous lay flat album.
Full Day
Full Day wedding coverage is for the couple that wants to fully relax and know their complete wedding day is being intentionally photographed, moment by moment. With the Full Day package there will be no timeline rush to squeeze anything into photo coverage. From hair and makeup all the way to the spinning flashing lights of the dance floor, each unique scene of the day will be captured.
Half Day
Half Day wedding coverage is for smaller weddings and couples who want to focus their photography coverage on the essence of their day. Covering just the ‘major highlights’ of the day, this package ensures the most meaningful moments are preserved without breaking the bank. These couples know that beautiful, artistic photos of them getting ready or partying the night away aren’t very important to them.
Elopements
Elopement packages are perfect for couples who want to relax and trust that their incredibly intimate day, shared with only an officiant or a few close guests, is expertly captured.
Engagement and Couples
Engagement sessions are for the lovers that want this specific moment in their story preserved. Whether recently engaged or simply in deep love, these couples want their real life documented by an expert photographer.
Family
Portrait
Portrait family sessions are for parents who want to quickly meet at a beautiful location and get new portraits of their family for their mantle, a new milestone, or Christmas cards.
Lifestyle
Lifestyle family sessions are for parents looking to freeze time. They know the kids will only keep growing, so it is important to them to have high quality, candid imagery of their family in its current, ever changing state. Whether that means running through messy bedrooms or fields of flowers at sunset, no moment can be left out. Their future selves will look back at the precious moments and be glad they lived them so fully.
Senior Portraits
Quick & Simple
The Quick & Simple package is for the mum who wants great photos of their soon to be adult, but know that kid isn’t one for lengthy photo shoots.
ALL OUT!
The ALL OUT! package is for the graduating senior who wants their session to encompass the full personality. Capturing a series of locations and outfits means we have the freedom to be creative and make some truly unique photos.
FAQ
When will we receive the final gallery?
A day or two after the wedding you will receive a sneak peek of your wedding photos, mostly because I am impatient to see the magic we created. Then, 4-8 weeks after the wedding date you will receive your complete final gallery and be able to relive the incredible day. For all other sessions your carefully edited online gallery will be delivered within two weeks of your session date.
What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the session day?
This is definitely in the forefront of my mind as well, so I always select a backup date for each family session, so we can be sure to have the best light and weather.
Can we send you a shot list / Pinterest inspo board?
Yes please! I love to see all the inspo and info that a couple puts into their wedding vision. With these in mind, I scout locations and create a rough plan for the photos that mean the most to you. Though, while I 100% want to see these peeks into your ideas, I cannot guarantee that each photo or idea will be captured or recreated. Weddings are often fast paced environments and rather than looking down at a list of shots to get, I want to keep my gaze on the beauty all around me. I also believe that you are hiring me for more than my ability to click a shutter button, you’re hiring me for my artistic, design oriented eye and innate ability to capture unique candid moments. So having your trust and the freedom to follow my instincts will lead to the types of photos that drew you to my work in the first place.
What happens if there is an emergency and you can’t make it?
First, I have been lucky enough to photograph literally hundreds of weddings for 13 years and not yet miss a single one, so the chances are incredibly small that such an emergency would come up. If something unforeseen does come up though, I am part of a tight knit community of photographers that I can call on at a moment's notice and hire as an associate shooter. They would photograph your wedding and deliver the photos to me to be edited and delivered. In the unlikely case no appropriate associate can be found, I would refund all payments made and do everything in my power to help you find an amazing photographer with similar style and experience.
"Dylan took our wedding photos and we really don’t think that anyone could have done a better job. From finding good locations beforehand for photos, to going the extra mile to get good shots, we were impressed before we even saw the photos. Now that we have them, I can truly say that he is incredible. The joy, love and beauty captured are stunning. I would wholeheartedly recommend him."
