Joe had great communication, fair pricing, and made our day completely stress free and relaxed. My fiancé and I had never had professional pictures, after getting our prints back we are absolutely amazed how they turned out. Joe had great ideas for location, and took a gray, cold, snowy day in Cleveland and made it look beautiful. We are so thankful for him and Ashley for their skill, time, and effort to make sure we loved our photos.

Choosing Ashley as our wedding photographer was one of the best choices we made throughout the planning process. She is not only down to Earth and real, but she genuinely cares about her clients and wants to deliver the best possible service to them. Slightly after booking her, she hosted a Brides Night In at her house to go over the dos and don’t of day of wedding photography. Her tips were very helpful, and her advice made our day as successful as it was. In addition to capturing your special day of moments, she does so much more. She drafts several day of timelines and sticks to them to a T. It is incredibly important that you’re organized because if so, your day will go perfectly. She did a great job guiding our day, collaborating with our videographer and DJ, and helping us stay calm, collected, and happy throughout the evening. Ashley also knows how to talk to people in a direct but respectful way. She wants your happiness first and foremost and will do whatever is necessary to make sure that you get it. On our day, she guided several people in a respectful manner which made for better pictures while putting them kindly in their place. My husband and I both deeply appreciate this about her. She’s Type A in the best way and wants you to feel satisfied at the end of the day. SO many of our family and friends commented on how fantastic she was as well as professional. She knows what’s she’s doing and cares about her work. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her and the work that she does. She’s one of the few photographers that we met with who genuinely cares about not only her work but her clients. You won’t be disappointed by choosing her to capture the special moments of your day.

Grand Haven, MI

  • Serves Traverse City, MI

I'm Sydney and I own Sydney Marie Photography out of Grand Haven, Michigan. I I've been a wedding photographer since 2012 and have photographed over 200 weddings from Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Holland and everywhere between. I started in photography in 2008 and travel all over Michigan for weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked alongside Sydney multiple times at weddings around Michigan and have seen a lot of her process. I can tell you she is big on quick communication and making sure every expectation is clearly defined and communicated prior to the wedding. This is key when you're trying to plan your wedding day and make sure that everything is laid out to be not only efficient but also get you the kinds of photos she's displaying on her website. On the day of the wedding she is always calm, yet at the same time, directive, in a chill and friendly kind of way. She helps everyone relax and enjoy the day, which is a big thing considering the photographer is the person that the wedding couple is going to be around for the vast majority of the day. I know that even though she is a busy photographer, she delivers galleries pretty quickly, because she's showing me some of the galleries that I've shot with her as soon as she's finished with them. So if you're looking for someone who is going to solidly communicate with you through the whole process and then deliver your (quality) photos in a reasonable amount of time, she would be a good choice!

I embrace my unique passions and am excited to harness that creativity and passion to transform each part of your magical wedding day into a captivating photo collection that will transport you back to cherished memories and share some fun moments you might have missed.

Awarded Best of Zola
I submitted an inquiry form on Karly ‘s website at 11:49am for golden hour pregnancy announcement photos. I included my number and asked for a phone call or text as I was visiting from out of town. Karly texted me within THIRTY MINUTES of submitting the form! She then booked me for the same day! She was very thorough before hand and asked questions about what we were looking for, in order to maximize our time together. When we met up with her at point betsey, it never felt like getting to know a stranger. It always felt like catching up with a close friend. She was so sweet and made the experience so special for us. Karly even got a few sneak peaks out to us within a day so we could do our announcement the same day! She also did a great job posing us. Any bride or family would be very lucky to have Karly capturing their memories. I cannot wait to bring my baby girl here and to hire Karly to take our family photos ️

I'm a Michigan Native and moved north 6 years ago - best decision I've ever made. I prefer whiskey and lakeside campfires, but I also love a night out on the town. I'm a mom, major cat lady, and I'm currently loving Seinfield reruns. I'm a teacher by degree, and have worked in the event industry for years. I'm a big true crime junkie - podcasts, books, shows - all of it, but I cannot for the life of me watch a scary movie. I believe the best moments happen in the in-between, and these in-betweens tell our story. I love stopping time in these moments, just for a minute, so you can tell your story for years to come.

Grace was wonderful through the entire wedding process from engagement photos to the big day. She has a way of putting people at ease and makes getting those candid photos a breeze. I cant say enough good things about her.

Rayan Anastor Photography

5.0

Traverse City, MI
  • Photojournalistic style

You can usually find me out on our boat with my husband and three children exploring the Great Lakes. When I am not exploring Michigan, I am definitely traveling to explore other areas around the world. I love photographing the fleeting moments with my children as they experience life is something: A smile, a tear, the belly laugh, concentration and everything in between. This fascination is what carries over to my photography. The connection between two people who intend to spend the rest of their lives together is magical. It is expressive and full of fleeting moments that one may forget unless it is captured in a photograph.

Rayan is one of the most creative wedding photographers working today. During the leadup, she'll work closely with you to understand the nuances of your day. And when the day arrives, she'll document your sentimental moments in a thoughtful, discreet manner. My background is in art and design, and every time I look at her images, I'm so incredibly impressed by her artistic vision. But perhaps even more importantly, the photographs remind me of how special the day was and how warm and accommodating Rayan was throughout the entire experience. I can't imagine it without her.

I absolutely loved the style of her photography and couldn't have been happier with the photos we received. She's easy to work with and she hustled real hard the entire day to make sure she captured every important moment which, to me, demonstrated how much she cares. I can't recommend her enough - it was a great experience working with her!

My name is Lisa McCoy (as you can guess)! My husband Aj and I live in Alanson of Northern Michigan. We enjoy camping and road trips. We make sure to find all the hidden gems Michigan has to offer on the way. During Michigan summers we love being on, or in, the water. Kayaking is a personal favorite of ours. Although, I think my happiest place is walking alongside the ocean — I can’t describe how it makes my heart feel to be there! Aj and I enjoy trying new craft beers from all around the state. I always have a bottle of champagne in the fridge while Aj is always trying different kinds of scotch. Hence the names of our wedding packages.

Lisa McCoy is very easy to work with. She has a very artistic eye. We let her direct our 25th anniversary pictures and we loved the ones she took. She knows how to get the best angle to make you look your best.

Every individual has a unique tale, and mine is quite the whirlwind! When I was 5, my family left our Michigan home and has been on the move ever since. After living across the globe, I now proudly call Salt Lake City, UT my home sweet home with my wonderful husband, our sweet daughter, and our White German Shepherd! My journey toward becoming a wedding photographer is fueled by my romantic spirit, hope for deep connections, and wandering the world in pursuit of love. The idea of spreading love near and far, and passing on that love through generations puts a smile on my face every day.

It is very obvious that Lauren is so passionate about what she does. My husband feels awkward in front of the camera but she did a great job with keeping it fun. You would never be able to tell he was awkward by the way the pictures came out, she did fantastic. Thank you Lauren for capturing such beautiful photos that we will cherish forever!

Based in Traverse city Michigan but available anywhere!! Looking for couples who think outside the box for their wedding and just want to have fun and enjoy their friends and family. OF COURSE also get some epic photos along the way.

I cannot recommend Chelsea enough. We used her as our engagement and wedding photographer and I can barely put into words how much we fell in love! She is so crazy talented and artistic and she truly captured our personalities and love as a couple. Being two very camera shy and goofy individuals, Chelsea made us feel so comfortable and at peace. We laughed, we cried, we had a blast. I would highly recommend doing an adventure session before your wedding! I can stress this enough. It prepares you so much for your big day. Chelsea was also great with recommending and helping with other vendors she felt would mesh well with our style. So blessed to have her now as a friend. Can’t wait for babies and family photos!!

My photography is bright, colorful and true-to-life. I love to find the balance between the posed, elegant portraits and the candid, joyful photos of you and your partner, surrounded by your favorite people coming together to celebrate your love. I want your photos to capture authentic emotion and meaningful moments, and for the images to be timeless heirlooms that you’ll look back at fondly for years to come. I focus on the meaningful connection of the moment rather than perfect posing. Your wedding is a day full of emotion, and I want your photos to highlight those feelings.

We love working with Kristin! She is always very professional, kind and an amazing photographer!

My name is Charity Sizemore, I am soon to be Charity Miltenberger. I am a mom of one beautiful little girl. Photography has been my true passion since 2012, but I really started to expand my knowledge in 2016. My dream is to capture as many love stories as possible. I am an avid reader, with the majority of those books being romance novels, and I love getting out with my family. I have lived in Northern Michigan my entire life, and I wouldn't live anywhere else.

I cannot recommend Rustling Leaf enough! Simple spectacular!!! She went above and beyond and took care of everything, captured everything I wanted and moved seamlessly in the background. We had tons of last minute oopsies with hair and setup and even though I was busy with that, she made sure EVERYTHING was taken care of! I could not be more thrilled with our photos and our day, not to mention she got our photos back so quickly! Highly recommend!

People often bring me around to document the good times. Whether it be a wedding, a family gathering, a milestone, or any of the other exciting landmarks we experience in life. I couldn’t be more grateful for this. My goal in my work is to capture your story in a true and honest way. This means becoming part of your event and documenting the story from the inside out. I believe the best images come from real, authentic, unaltered moments. These moments aren’t staged or set up… they are captured.

I work with Michael often. I have worked with him as a wedding vendor and I have hired him to shoot my family photos numerous times. He's always a joy to be around and his work is beautiful. He knows how to get a smile out of you and make you feel comfortable when working with him.

Hi! My name is Seana Hope. Yes, Seana Hope are both my first names so you can call me whatever is easier for you. Everybody is asking, why photography? I grew up spending my lunch breaks in the library, scanning books and learning about new things by looking at the pictures in between the pages. I guess I was just always introverted (don't worry, I can be goofy too) so I really loved my alone time. As I got older, I have become so adventurous, scratching places out of my bucket list one by one. With every journey I take, I enjoy sharing them through my photos.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abigail is hands down the BEST wedding photographer. My sister first used Abbey for her wedding in 2019 and when I got married in 2021, I already knew I wanted to book her. I looked at other photographers work, but nothing even compared to the beautifully flawless photos my sister had. Abbey’s work definitely exceeded our expectations for our own wedding and we couldn’t be happier that we booked her! She was accommodating to all of our requests and came prepared with the information I had provided in advance. Photography is one thing you don’t want to skimp on for your big day and if you want hundreds of gorgeous images, capturing every detail, then you need to book Abbey!

I'm Detroit-based with roots in Baltimore, Maryland and LOVE to travel, so I'll go anywhere your love takes you.

Emily was INCREDIBLE. Our friend from college used Emily as her photographer and I was instantly captivated by the beauty of her work. We knew we had to have her as our photographer. We were nervous about being camera shy and she worked magic!! Our "trial run" was our engagement session and we had SO much fun, we fell in love with our engagement photos and knew our wedding photos would be just as incredible. Emily has real talent for showing the moments-- and we are so thankful that she was able to capture these special moments for us. Photography was one of our main priorities in this whole process, which is why we chose her, but even our guests couldn't stop raving about her! Her care, creativity, and love that she poured in to the whole process leave us speechless, and we know that these photos will show our love for generations to come!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac and his team were incredible to work with. He came highly recommended from a friend of ours who got married a few years ago and we were really pleased to be introduced. After seeing his work, we were sure we wanted to work with him. The wedding was in San Francisco and it was a real pleasure to have Isaac there on our day, and the photos look amazing.

I'm currently helping my sister plan her wedding and when she got engaged he was the first vendor I sent to her to look at. She was blown away, as I knew she would be, by his work and loved how his wedding videos felt so natural, candid, and also didn't look like every other wedding video. His ability to tell a story both in photograph and video is remarkable. As a wedding photographer, if I had to redo my wedding day, I would without a doubt have Steve there to capture it.

Whether you're eloping just the two of you, or getting married in your favorite place with all your favorite people, I will capture the photos that will help you to cherish your marriage for a lifetime.

Tylee shot our wedding on July 17th, 2020. We wanted to write this review because we had the most amazing experience with her. We met Tylee right before we got engaged and knew we wanted her as our photographer. We booked her right away and had a blast doing our engagement shoot in the winter. We were one of the many COVID wedding couples which came with so much stress, but Tylee was a breath of fresh air for us. She made anything and everything happen for us. We had a very small, intimate, family only wedding at my husband’s parent’s house on Bostwick Lake. Tylee was so excited to shoot our day and made us feel so special. One of the things that we will be forever grateful for is that Tylee suggested that Matt and I plan some alone time on our wedding day. To be able to escape for a half hour or so to just enjoy the moment and enjoy being newly married. We ended up going on a canoe ride on the lake at sunset and it was probably our favorite moment of the day. Plus the photos she captured of it were PHENOMENAL!! We love you Tylee! Thank you again for everything you did for us! We can’t wait for more photoshoots down the road! Love, Matt and Emma DeVries

Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives.

Choosing a wedding photographer was nerve-wracking, but Nicole exceeded our expectations. We didn't want to worry about a photo list and keeping tabs on photo ops; instead, we wanted a photographer who had a creative enough eye to capture memories as they happened. And that was 100% Nicole. She has a beautiful documentary style and caught so many romantic and special moments throughout our day. From playing with our cats as we got ready at home, to my mom pinning the veil on my head in my bedroom, to me and my fiance trying to sneak kisses before the ceremony. I love the photos because they feel like real moments we can look back on -- we have some beautiful staged ones as well, but the raw ones throw us back into the day. Plus, they also look like something out of Pinterest, so they also met our vision! The style was just like the ones on her professional website, so you can trust you will get something similar. I also love how personable she and Tyler (her second shooter) are. We became fast friends the moment we met, so it felt like a friend was taking our pictures rather than a stranger. That made the day all the more special and intimate.

But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were.

Hi friends! I'm Chel, a 29 year old mama + wife to the sweetest boys. Loved ones would describe me as warm, bubbly, quirky, and down to earth. I started my photography journey at the end of 2014, and am entirely self-taught. I was born and raised in Traverse City, but moved down to Clio, Michigan 2 years ago! However, I continue to serve all of Michigan, as well as locations around the US and worldwide. I am a coffee obsessive (think Lorelai from Gilmore Girls) with a joy for nature + traveling. I love reading, all genres of music (sucker for Luke Combs, Elvis, Benson Boone), true crime, cringe reality TV + psychological thrillers!

Cheleana is the best! She is soo beyond fun to work with and so easy going. The pictures are of course stunning with her behind the camera. I’m so excited to have her do shoots for us in the future

I'm a love storyteller from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I primarily photograph weddings and engagements in and around the Midwest as well as destination weddings. I aim to tell love stories as honestly, candidly and uniquely as possible and I hope those attributes come across in my imagery. I firmly believe Love is Love and that everyone deserves beautiful images. I promise I will go above and beyond for you and be genuinely invested in your photographs far beyond just taking pictures. I've told hundreds of love stories and I hope to tell yours one day.

Awarded Best of Zola
It is really hard for me to put into words just how amazing Katie and her husband Matt are. We found them through our friends who used them for their wedding. We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, and our friends had attended one the year before in Jamaica which Katie and Matt photographed. Because of that wedding, they chose them to be their photographer for their wedding in Michigan. After we saw the photos from the destination wedding and our friend's engagement photos we knew they would be perfect for us. After we saw our friend's wedding photos we knew made the right choice. Katie and Matt from the beginning were super helpful and were incredibly integral on our wedding weekend and day. When they arrived in Mexico, they met up with us and started to work immediately. They came to our rehearsal helping us decide where to put our camera for filming the ceremony and other helpful advice for the day of. They helped find the PERFECT first look location. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Matt were energetic and came ready to help put us to ease. Katie and Matt just have a way of making you feel at ease and then make you look like models. They did a great combination of classic portraits but a lot of candid photos mixed in (which were my favorites). They stayed through the our whole reception and the photos we got look out of a bridal magazine. We had a secondary shoot the day after as a Trash the Dress photo shoot, and the sunset photos we got look like post cards. The only down side of using Katie and Matt is that they gave us too many photos we want to print and get framed! Book them for your destination wedding (or Michigan wedding) and you will absolutely be making the best decision!

I thrive on God’s great love and creation. Farming runs deep through my family roots, so I guess you could call me a farm girl. I’m a homebody at heart, with a passion to adventure. I fell in love with photography when I picked up my mom’s old camera in middle school. I'd capture everything from blades of grass to the cattle on my farm. 5 years later, using my cattle as models has turned into photographing weddings and capturing everything from portraits to families.

Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!! Thanks to her, I have beautiful pictures from our big day to cherish and the self confidence to keep taking photos with my husband to cherish our memories for a lifetime. So if you’re shy like me, this is for you!

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible Mary is. From the moment we booked her, we knew we had made the right choice. Mary meticulously crafted mood boards, timelines and provided invaluable advice from the engagement shoot to the wedding. She has a warm and vibrant spirit that makes you feel comfortable and excited. We found many times throughout the wedding day we felt most calm with Mary while taking pictures. You won’t find another photographer like her, willing to go the extra mile to deliver a vision. We cannot thank Mary enough for our beautiful photos. They are mementos of a perfect day we will cherish forever.

Madalyn was probably the best photographer we could have asked for, it was like having a friend instead of a vendor throughout the day. She just does a great job of capturing candid and genuine emotion, and after getting all of our photos back we loved how she was able to capture us (and pretty much everyone else) looking great and having fun without being overly posed. In addition, she was so incredibly organized and professional throughout the entire process, she got us our timeline and I was able to use that to build the rest of our day-of-schedule around it. She communicated early and often and always made sure she got the list of required photos we wanted so we didn’t miss anything. Since she also hadn’t photographed at our venue before, she set up her own meeting with the venue before the wedding to get a tour and walk-through so it wasn’t a surprise on the day of the wedding. She was assertive when she needed to be to wrangle our families for photos but otherwise was extremely flexible in getting shots if the plans changed! Especially since our wedding was late in the winter and we decided against a first look, she made sure to have a lighting assistant on hand to help coordinate additional flash and we got some great evening photos, and the second shooter who helped out had some awesome ideas for important shots too. Also, she got us engagement photo sneak peeks within 24 hours and got us our wedding sneak peeks (40+ photos!) within 48 hours of our wedding. She just made the entire planning experience and photo sessions so comfortable and fun.

We have photographed each other as well as worked together and I sincerely hope for many more years to work together in the future!

I can't express how thrilled we are with the incredible work of March81 Photography, especially with Michael and Jennifer capturing our wedding day. Their talent and professionalism shone through, and the photos they delivered were absolutely breathtaking. We couldn't have asked for a better team to capture our special moments. Having both Michael and Jennifer was a brilliant decision, as it allowed them to be in multiple places at once, ensuring no precious moment was missed. Thank you, March81 Photography, for making our day unforgettable!

Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!
