Drea Reid Photography LLC

Roscommon, MI
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500

I initially dipped my toes into the world of photography in the early 2000s, focusing on sports events and capturing cherished moments from my kids' school activities. Life and the priorities of raising a family briefly pressed pause on my journey. Rekindling my passion in recent years, I have discovered a profound love for capturing the unexpected. Through my lens, I honor the memory of my youngest son, who, despite his inner struggles, taught me strength and love.

Drea seriously made our day so special. She was so kind, easy going, and helpful! She went above and beyond on our elopement day. We are so thankful and feel like we gained a life long friend!

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!

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!

Ever since childhood, I’ve been captivated by the power of photos and the stories they tell. Growing up, I’d lose myself in family photo albums, fascinated with freezing moments in time led me to photography, a medium that became my canvas for expressing emotions and creativity. What fuels my passion for wedding photography? It’s the profound belief in the power of love stories. In a world where adult milestones are fewer, the journey of marrying your best friend and soulmate stands out as a core memory. I find immense joy in capturing the moments when love, support, and celebration intertwine, creating memories that last a lifetime.

I see the world as photographs. I am always looking around and seeing beauty in everything. I picked up my first camera at a very young age, but officially started my photography career in 2013, going full time 2019. I want to be your life long friend & photographer who will be there to capture all of the precious moments of your life even beyond your wedding day. I was honored to be voted the #1 photographer in the Tri-Cities area 2023 by "Community Votes Saginaw, and I was also chosen as 1 of 10 amazing photographers to become a part of the Nikon Creators fam.

I will alwaysss recommend Kali with Natural by K.Britton Photography! She has been our go-to photographer for years now and every time I get our photos back I’m in absolute awe! Our vow renewal album was nothing short of perfection and I’m always so thankful that she has such a fast turn out time! No waiting months upon months for your pictures! To be honest, I actually worked our vow renewal date around when she was available, because I wasn’t doing it without her as the photographer! I knew I’d regret it any other way! I gave her a list, pictures off of Pinterest, and my ideas and she was down for anything and helped me make sure it all got done even though the day was a little hectic for me! She even got in the crick as a last minute photo idea! Always worth every penny we’ve ever spent with her!

I am a luxury destination photographer based in Michigan, Florida & Colorado! I am ALL over Michigan and all over the nation! I have a home in Lansing and Holland and I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to northern Michigan, Mackinac Island and Traverse City to areas of Detroit! I also have condo access in Clearwater, FL and Breckenridge, CO. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Dani was phenomenal to work with from the very beginning. Her communication and professionalism are top notch yet she made us feel super comfortable like we're old friends. My now husband & I had never had professional pictures done and we were really nervous for how our wedding photos would turn out naturally because of that and being naturally introverted. Dani got us comfortable at our engagement session and all of our photos from our engagement session to our wedding day turned out so amazing!! HIGHLY recommend to hire Dani!!

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 was absolutely amazing to work with. I got engaged in 2019 and married on May 15, 2021. I’m a wedding planner myself, so I had a lot of my timelines done early on, but Planning through a pandemic had a lot of ups and downs while working around all the state guidelines. Lisa was amazing in helping come up with ideas to help make something work in case we ultimately had to go a different route. We lucked out and got to have a wonderful day. Lisa and her second shooter (husband) put the group at ease and was wonderful posing all of us. Her pictures turned out more than we could ever imagine. So many people compliment us on all of them. I highly recommend her to anyone.

I've told hundreds of love stories and I hope to tell yours one day.

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 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 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'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.

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.

Mary was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was so much fun made us feel like absolute rock stars during our engagement session wedding. Mary was even willing to meet us in Miami to shoot our engagement photos in a one of a kind location. She helped to make our entire wedding experience incredible documented our day so exceptionally well. I am so thankful for the photos that Mary took the friendship that has blossomed from this opportunity to work together.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

She has done not only all our family photos but all our engagement photos and even tried to fly her out to our destination wedding but I booked to late and missed out.

When you invest in my wedding photography, you're investing not only in an experienced photographer with a great eye, but in a one of a kind creative direction and compositional instincts that takes years to hone. My work is focussed on creating timeless yet modern images, with a strong editorial slant while viewing everything through a romantic lens. I am focussed on gorgeous lighting, poses that are natural and flattering and the luxury that embodies your magical day.

Awarded Best of Zola
My favourite part of the Astrid Cordier Bridal Experience was how comfortable she made us feel. My husband is not a photo type of guy, and even he felt at ease when Astrid stepped behind the camera. Not only is the end result something out of a fairytale, but the jokes and giggles between shots come as a welcome distraction from the wedding nerves. You don't feel posed, it feels natural and you feel like you can show your own personality and your relationship. No forced smiles or kisses. I could not recommend Astrid enough!

She’s also extremely good at getting candid photos and tricking anybody into being less awkward with the camera on them. Another huge plus is that while her return time might be longer, you get all of the photos from your day rather than a select amount which was a huge thing for us.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Hi I'm Patty, your wedding photographer. I am based in West Michigan and spend over 50% of my season servicing Detroit & Chicago couples. Along with servicing the Michigan and Chicago market, I have slowly begun to expand my territory to include destination work with places like Texas, Virginia, Florida and Spain. I serve couples who understand that this season is one worth being celebrated and remembered. The couples who embrace their family and their people however that looks. Most importantly I serve those who see these photographs as an investment into their legacy.

Choosing Patty to be our photographer was the greatest decision we’ve ever made! From the moment we met her to receiving our wedding photos, Patty was INCREDIBLE. She made a wonderful effort to get to know us before our engagement shoot. Not only is Patty a phenomenal photographer, but she has also become such a sweet friend - going as far to lend me her Hulu password so we could be caught up on How I Met Your Father together. I felt like she understood our style and matched our energy wonderfully. During our engagement shoot in Saugatuck, Michigan, I was insistent we went to the beach to take some photos. Little did we know it would be a nearly mile hike in the heat of summer to get there. Despite sweating our butts off, Patty had a smile on her face the entire time and was incredibly professional. The photos were breathtaking and exceeded our expectations. During our wedding day Patty was there for every special moment, big and small. We didn’t worry once about the photos because we knew we were in wonderful hands. We had about 225 guests and both have big families, Patty was able to manage all of us during our family portraits! Patty is such a genuine person with a remarkable eye and talent. We can’t recommend Patty enough to be your wedding photographer!

However, when I received my GORGEOUS photos from Taylor, it meant the world to me to have something beautiful, over the top, and PERFECT during a time when so many things have taken unexpected turns.

Your moments deserve to be saved and treasured. Nothing about your life or relationship is too silly or too un-Instagrammable to be worthy of photographing. Photography is about making you feel comfortable, significant and gorgeous, while always taking you back in time to that specific moment and memory. That’s why my entire mission is to connect with every client on a personal level. It’s so that I can photograph you in a way that feels authentic to you and can become a legacy.

We knew when we booked with Olivia that her work was top notch, but that was the tip of the iceberg with her. She is incredibly thorough in her consultations and gets to know you to make you picture dreams come true. My husband and I never had profession photos taken of us before our engagement session and Olivia was fantastic. She guided us through every shot and made us comfortable and had us laughing all night long. I am so thankful we had her the day of our wedding. She had a detailed itinerary that kept us on time with more than enough time to cherish all the sweet moments. She is excellent at guiding the entire bridal party to look great and feel great and at ease. I promise if you book with her your expectations will be blown out of the water.

My role as a photographer continues to push me as a creative, learning how to chase light effectively and giving you images that you'll adore. YOU are my inspiration! Simple things in life are what make me smile. Relationships, sunshine and a cozy movie on the couch. Life is beautiful, isn't it?!

From assisting us on what to wear, to capturing the imperfectly perfect moments, and making the booking and planning process so simple, we had to book her again for more!

I have two wild and crazy kids along with our two dogs brownie and maisie. we are always on the go. Camping in our rv water park zoo anywhere to have a good time. I started weddings because it is my happy space and i give it my all. Sometimes you can catch me me on the dance floor or crying in the background during day.

If you are looking for affordable wedding photography and beautiful pictures, look no further. Holly not only got all the photos we wanted for the ceremony, but she was in the trenches on the dance floor at the reception, snapping things from every angle. Turnaround time was super quick, we got the photos just a month after the wedding, and the preview was up in the first week. She took over 600 photos for us, and we loved so many of them. The only minor complaint we had was that Holly made a few old-school marriage jokes about us pretending like we liked each other and me bossing my husband around. They were easy enough to shake off and I think she got the hint after a four or five jokes that it wasn't our vibe. But it was nothing offensive, just a little off-putting. Ultimately we were able to brush it off, and the photos were amazing so we'd recommend her fully!

Working with Emily was an absolute DREAM. As a Wisconsin bride getting married in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I was a little nervous about finding the right vendors for our small Copper Harbor wedding. However, after our initial conversation with Emily, we knew that we made the right choice. Right away, she sits down to chat with you about who you are individually, and as a couple so that she can understand how best to work with you, and to understand your big day a bit more. After the initial conversation with Emily, she works with you plan out a timeline that works best for everyone involved to start setting the expectations for your big day. Thankfully, Emily was so knowledgeable about the Copper Harbor area that she provided the best suggestions as to where to take pictures, and the best times to take them. She keeps every interaction light and fun, and makes sure that you are comfortable throughout each session with her.

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.

Amanda was incredible to work with, she was so detail oriented every step of the way. Our photos are absolutely incredible, we have received SO many compliments on our photos. They did a great job of capturing photos of all my friends too so that they have great photos of themselves from our big day. She promised a 3 week turn around on my photos which I could not believe until I saw it, and sure enough Amanda was finished with all of them a day early even and they look incredible!! Her website is very user friendly for ordering my photos now anytime that I want, and my flash drive of photos arrived with a crystal engraved flash drive—she is just so extra in all the right ways!!! Absolutely I recommend Arrae Photography over and over!!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Diana is an amazing photographer! She has shot at our venue Cascata Springs several times and her customers love her. Fantastic photos! Highly recommended.

She was down for anything and everything while also keeping us on track of our timeline. I am not at all a Type A bride and Ryann molded perfectly with my style. We couldn’t be happier with how the pictures turned out. Truly a seamless day and Ryann was apart of the amazing team that made that possible.

Right Price Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. The photographer and her team were very prompt and timely with communication leading up to our big day, responding to emails and calls within a day or less. On the wedding day, they arrived on time and came prepared with a detailed timeline that we had collaborated on in advance. They were extremely flexible and accommodating when I came up with some unique photo ideas, not only bringing those visions to life but also suggesting additional creative shots. The end results are beautiful photos that perfectly capture the joy and special moments of our wedding, all at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend Right Price to any couple looking for professional yet laidback photographers who deliver excellent work and value while making the photography process fun and stress-free!

MaddyKate Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Maddy had an effective communication style - she responded quickly to emails and phone calls, and was personable in all of our interactions. Her documentary photography style resulted in high quality photos that truly captured the spirit of our big day. Maddy helped us create a vision for what we wanted our wedding photos to convey. On the wedding day itself, she blended into the background while still getting all the key moments on camera. She made our day a breeze by being exactly where she needed to be, when she needed to be there. The final wedding photo album Maddy created for us is something we will treasure for years.

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

Sarah is absolutely amazing at what she does! Not only will she create beautiful images, but she will make sure you are having fun during the session/wedding.
