Kelly was amazing! She was so efficient, fun to work with, very communicative both before and during the wedding, and so understanding when things got chaotic. She and her daughter, Taylor, worked together flawlessly and the pictures turned out amazing! I am obsessed with them. I could not recommend Kelly Jo Photography any more! Phenomenal!

Hi, I'm Mandy! I'm happiest at home with a cup of coffee (heavy on the cream & sugar), watching some HGTV (Fixer Upper anyone?!) & flipping through Instagram, with my beagle, Jack, snuggled on my feet. I love exploring new places with my sweetheart, Shawn, trying new foods, craft beer, coffee dates, Michigan autumns, and, of course, PHOTOGRAPHY! Thank you so much for stopping by my page. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you all, and I appreciate each and every one of you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Portraits By Mandy was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Mandy's communication style was proactive, friendly, honest, and easygoing, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. Her experience, proficiency, and creative eye resulted in photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. Mandy was always in the right place at the right time, capturing special moments like my grandpa tenderly telling my husband to take care of me, and my husband reading the heartfelt note cards I had left for him that morning. If you're looking for a photographer who will build a lasting relationship with you as your marriage and family grows, Mandy is the perfect choice. Her work is worth every penny and you won’t regret choosing her for your wedding & future milestones!

Arrae Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Allendale, MI

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda and her partner did an AMAZING job capturing our August 2024 wedding. My husband and I were blown away when we saw our gallery. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Arrae Photography to any couple.

Hi I am Kate! I have a bachelor of fine arts in photography, and have been photographing weddings and elopements for around 5 years. There is nothing I love more that LOVE and all of the emotions that surround a wedding day. I am an LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC inclusive photographer, celebrating diversity is so important to me. I shoot both digital and film, and have a documentary fine art shooting style with a modern twist.

Kate did our elopement shoot and was so fun and easy to work with! My husband and I are normally awkward and she made us feel so comfortable and fun, it really felt effortless. Her personal touch was so genuine, and showing us some of the previews made my husband tear up. You will never regret having her as your photographer!!

Dani did our wedding in 2022 and we have already had 3 more sessions with her and another on the books for this year. We also did our engagement session with her before we were married :) We are so thankful she has been someone that can document our lives as we grow!! She is AMAZING to work with and her photos are pure magic. It's really something that we haven't gotten bored from using her through the years, haha. But seriously, she seems to offer something a little different each time and oh my gosh we are still so blown away everytime we get our photos back from her!! We've even sent more of our family to her so she's basically become our whole extended family photographer :D

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!

Wildcrest Studio

Wildcrest Studio, established by Jessie Harris, is a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I aim to capture the magic of your wedding day and you as a unique couple through peerless, stunning photographs!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

I LOVE, LOVE. IT’S QUITE SIMPLE REALLY. THE BEST MOMENTS ARE UNPREDICTED, CANDID AND RAW. WHEN LAUGHTER IS SO STRONG THAT YOUR BELLY ACHES, OR WORDS ARE SO SWEET THAT TEARS ARE MADE.. CREATING MAGIC WITH HUMANS WHO SEE LOVE AND LIGHT AS POWERFULLY AS I DO… THAT’S WHAT I LIVE FOR.

Lexi photographed my wedding, and she made everything a breeze, thought of everything I was going to ask before I did. She is so organized and made sure everyone I put on my list of wanting pictures with had a picture, made it so much easier on such a busy day. She is super laid back and easy to get along with works so well with other vendors making sure all my picture needs were met. I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. She is always my go to photographer for everything but especially for weddings.

Hi, I'm Avery! I am West Michigan born and raised, with a bit of a roaming side. You can find me traveling the great outdoors, reading a good book or sunset watching at the lake. 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.

Avery was amazing, easy to communicate with and helped our day run so smoothly. We've only received our sneak peaks so far and they are amazing! Looking forward to getting the rest of them back :)

After being adopted from China, I fell in love with everything creativity. I was always drawing, editing my friend’s insta pictures for fun, and of course having mini photoshoots. I felt so much joy when it came to creating art that could be saved forever. It didn’t take until college that I used all my money from my savings to buy my own camera- yeah I definitely knew my priorities. When I had time in between classes and studying I devoted it to taking pictures of everything. Wedding photography was a complete different realm of opportunities. Capturing the sweetest day and to gift that is unmatched.

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!

Hello! I'm Cassi. I'm a photographer and videographer based in West Michigan and available for travel. I specialize in weddings, elopements and engagements. I just love, love! I believe every wedding is unique and has a story to tell. I would love to hear about you and your vision.

Cassi responds quickly, puts a ton of energy into understanding exactly what her clients vision is, and she completely captures the magic for them. Cassi was the photographer for my destination wedding in Mexico and she went above and beyond. She took time with my husband and myself making sure we were both comfortable and we were both a priority. She had to go back and forth several times in hot, humid, Mexico heat with her equipment and NEVER missed a beat. She stayed excited and encouraging the whole time. Cassi is such a professional. She has since taken my maternity photos and our family photos. She is amazing and will be with us for life. I would recommend her work to anyone and everyone. She truly makes magic and makes her clients feel so special.

Maria Lewis Photography is based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, but is available to service all of Michigan include Detroit, Traverse City, Lansing, Kalamazoo and more! Maria Lewis Photography focuses on capturing the love story behind every couple. Maria specializes in capturing the raw emotion that makes your wedding day unique. Couples can trust in Maria, knowing this passionate photographer will capture the moments you’ll cherish forever.

Choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision. I am so glad we chose Maria as ours. Because we already had an engagement shoot done prior to contacting Maria, our first in-person meeting was actually the wedding. However, chatting with Maria over the phone and via video conference made me feel completely comfortable in her experience and ability to authentically capture us as a couple. She sent a very handy bridal guide months before the wedding, too. Some of my favorite photos in our gallery are actually those that Maria and I never discussed, but rather opportunities that she and her second shooter candidly noticed and brought to life. Maria was patient, punctual, accommodating, and creative. The end quality and volume of diverse photos we received speak for themselves. Choose Maria!
