For over two decades, I’ve been navigating the intricate dance of light and shadow, specializing in those elusive low-light scenarios that others might shy away from. 💪 From dimly lit wedding venues to the enchanting twilight hours, my lens has seen it all.
One particular gem in my portfolio that I’m thrilled to share with you today is the Abrams Planetarium at MSU. Nestled in the heart of East Lansing, this celestial sanctuary offers more than just a glimpse into the universe—it’s a canvas waiting to be painted with starlight. 🤩
The first time I stepped into the MSU Abram’s Planetarium, I was greeted by a warm welcome from the staff, who kindly warned me about the challenges that awaited. Shooting in such a unique space can definitely be tough for the unprepared, but I knew that it would be a breeze with my love of uniquely lit spaces.
What sets this venue apart is its ability to transport you to another world, quite literally. With a custom-designed starry sky that blankets the ceiling, every frame becomes a celestial masterpiece waiting to unfold. Whether you’re exchanging vows under the cosmic canopy or capturing the quiet beauty of a maternity shoot, the possibilities are as endless as the universe itself.
Let’s take a journey through some of the sessions I’ve had the privilege to shoot at the MSU Abram’s Planetarium, shall we?
Weddings: There’s something undeniably romantic about saying “I do” under a sky full of stars. The intimate glow of the planetarium provided the perfect backdrop for moments of love and connection that will last a lifetime.
Couple’s Portraits: Whether it’s an engagement session or just a celebration of an entwined life, the tranquil ambiance of the planetarium offers a serene escape from the chaos of everyday life. Bathed in the soft glow of distant galaxies, every frame tells a story of quiet intimacy and boundless wonder.
Senior Sessions: Graduating seniors deserve a send-off that’s out of this world, and what better way to commemorate their achievements than against the backdrop of the cosmos? Each shot captured the excitement of new beginnings, framed by the timeless beauty of the night sky.
Maternity: There’s something about gazing at the galaxy to remind us how much life and joy awaits us, and I can’t think of anything better than celebrating a new life under a tent of stars.
A session at the MSU Abram’s Planetarium isn’t just for astronomy enthusiasts (although they’ll undoubtedly be over the moon). It’s for anyone who craves a moment of celestial magic, a glimpse into the vast expanse of the unknown.
So, whether you’re planning your dream wedding or simply seeking a slice of serenity among the stars, let’s make magic at Abram’s Planetarium! Trust me, the journey is worth every lightyear. 😉
