Faith Ashlee Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Athens, MI for additional fees

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

Awarded Best of Zola
Faith is one of the most intentional people I’ve met — she was there every step of the way during wedding planning to support us and provided so much comfort and overall good vibes on the day of! I felt so at ease the entire wedding day, and I credit that to our incredible vendor team, Faith and her team included. I received so many sneak peek pics just under a week after my wedding (a few I got almost immediately!!), and it was amazing to be able to relive those moments already and share them with friends and family. Seeing how she captured these moments, big and small, makes me SO excited to see the final gallery!!! Her editing style is simply gorgeous — it was the main reason I reached out to her initially — but she’s also just a wonderful friend and human. When you already feel like you know someone, it makes it so much easier to be your authentic selves in front of the camera, and for that to shine through in photos. We both have so much love for Faith and are forever grateful she was there to document the beginning of the newest chapter of our love story

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues. If you're looking for amazing photographers/videographers who produce breathtaking images while also making you feel at ease and comfortable on your wedding day, look no further than MoonTide Media.

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

I’m Madysen (yes s-e-n) Kuhstoss (try saying that with mispronouncing haha)! I'm 4'11 (so close), but try making up for my height in my personality; you could almost call me your "mini-hypewoman"! I’m based in Indianapolis but always willing to travel when documenting your love story! My husband Collin and I got married in the middle of April 2021 and we have a little corgi named Leo who we are crazy for! A few of my favorite things are Jesus, thriller movies/tv shows, coffee dates, sweatpants, Texas Roadhouse, and my amazing clients! That's me in a nutshell, but I can't wait to hear about you!

I was having a hard time finding a wedding photographer due to a short engagement, but my husband and I were thrilled when we found Madysen! From the start, she did a wonderful job communicating and was a joy to work with. We had several calls to discuss what she offered, the timeline for the wedding day, and the shot list. This made it feel like we already knew Madysen before our big day. On our wedding, she was prepared, she made us feel comfortable, and she gave us reminders to enjoy the day. We received our sneak peeks while on our honeymoon, and we were extremely happy with the photos! We would definitely recommend Madysen for anyone looking for joyful, talented, and easy to work with photographer!

Ashley Guice Creative is a Phoenix-based luxury wedding photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of human connection. Since 2017, Ashley Guice has been creating stunning images that blend artistic flair with genuine emotion. With over seven years of experience in photography and a decade-long background in the arts, she brings a unique perspective to every event she covers.

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Ashley! From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her attention to detail and creativity truly brought our vision to life, capturing every moment beautifully. We had an unfortunate cancellation of our original venue, and with our new venue having a completely different look, Ashley was a great thought partner in scouting locations and helping us achieve the look and feel in our photos that we were going for. Despite the challenges of a venue change and the usual wedding planning craziness, Ashley remained positive, resourceful, and was also just down right fun to work with! Ashley is a true artist, dedicated to the artful execution of every detail. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or ordinary—she took the time to understand our vision and how we wanted to remember the day and then actualized it through her artistic lens. I wanted something artful, chic, and elevated but also real, candid, and documentary-style—and Ashley delivered exactly that. She was also fantastic at understanding how we wanted to be photographed throughout the day. More than anything, she made sure our enjoyment of the day was a priority over just "getting the perfect shot," which was crucial for us. We were able to enjoy every moment, and the photos capture that perfectly. Her team was amazing, too! We got to work with two of her assistant photographers, and they were just as supportive and friendly as Ashley. We would recommend AGC to any couple looking for a photography team who is dedicated to capturing the essence of your wedding in a way that feels unique, personal, and meaningful. - L & L

I booked Alisa Sue Photography before I even secured my venue if that tells you anything about how confident I was that I loved her photography style and vision. I was so happy to get to meet her and her husband, Wayne, on our wedding day. She was the best hypewoman and made me feel beautiful and confident in all our pictures! It also felt so natural posing for pictures with her guidance. She and Wayne were such a dream team. I also hired Snap Pic Photo Booth (owned by them as well) and we loved our backdrop and the props and the print template design! ALSO, she literally turned around some edits so fast. Literally lunchtime the day after our wedding, she had already posted a handful of edited photos from our wedding to her Instagram. How amazing is she!!!

  • Serves Athens, MI for additional fees

Calling all misfits, those deeply in love, the nerds, the don't give a flying f***, just authentically you! Behind the camera: I am cracking bad jokes & cramming myself into strange spaces to get the shot. Behind the editing screen: I am smiling, getting high off the emotion of the moment captured. No shame, it’s why I do what I do. I love love. But I guess that's why you are here right? My style: Authentic, timeless, classic & filmy nostalgia. I capture those in-between moments, the messy, the loud, the intimate & the joyful ugly cry. Then you can feel like vogue for every other moment to show the world the rockstars that you are.

Samantha did such an amazing job with our wedding photography. My wife hunted around for the perfect photographer for a few months, as the pictures were very important to her and she wanted to make sure she found the right person with the right style. From the first time we met Samantha in Detroit to do our engagement photos, we felt comfortable with her. She was professional, friendly, and helped us feel at ease during the process. Most importantly, she made it fun! She was an excellent communicator, flexible, and during our wedding, she did a truly amazing job of capturing all the most important moments. She did an excellent job helping us balance our time between everything and sneaking away for a short photo shoot, and made sure to capture us with all of our family, etc. The candid moments she captured were amazing. We shared the album Samantha sent us with our guests through our thank you cards, and we had a ton of people tell us the photos were amazing and asked who did our photos! We sent many people photos as gifts for Christmas this year. On top of all that, Samantha sent us this really sweet and very cool gift of a golden glass photo frame filled with pictures and an ornate wooden box filled with decorative moss with a slide-out plexiglass front with our names on it, and a matching usb drive with all of our photos. Our wedding was very woodsy, and the gift was very thoughtfully matching of the whole thing. Samantha, thank you for your time and energy in helping us make our wedding day so special, and for capturing it for us to remember for a lifetime. My wife and I absolutely recommend her to anyone with our highest regards. Take care!

Heather Martinez Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Athens, MI for additional fees

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Hi! My name is Jacqueline and I've been in the photography industry for almost a decade. I believe that when I pick up my camera, I am there to tell a story. On your wedding day, I am there to document a new chapter of your love story. I capture all the intimate moments of your day, and then some!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot even begin to describe how amazing it was to work with Jacqueline for our wedding this past weekend. She was extremely easy-going, communicative, professional, and always quick to respond for the entire year leading up to our wedding. So it came as no surprise that on our wedding day she absolutely crushed it. She captured our day so seamlessly. She was never in the way, never made us uncomfortable and just blended into the background in all the right ways. She made the wedding party and family photos process quick and painless which I know from experience can sometimes prove to be a disaster or just unorganized and chaotic at weddings. I was even MORE blown away when she delivered some photos the morning after our wedding after probably being up super late after getting home from our wedding. Talk about going above and beyond and exceeding expectations!!! I could not have asked for a better photographer to play such a huge part in our big day and I would recommend Jacqueline to ANYONE. Thank you so much Jacqueline!!!!! - Ben and Lindsay

Salt & Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. Highly communicative, professional, punctual, and absolute artists. From booking to receiving the photos, they were so amazing to work with. I (the bride) am typically very uncomfortable taking photographs. This was the first time in my life that I was actually at ease and having fun. 10/10 would and will book them again in the future for family/maternity photographs.

Hi! My name is Abby Law, owner of Abby Law Photography! I was born & raised in Grand Rapids MI, but for the the last five years, I have been living in Tennessee. I am based out of the Nashville area! I have been working in the wedding industry since Oct 2022, and I have loved every second of it! I married the love of my life in Dec 2023 which only made my heart swell more & more for not only photography and this business of mine, but for the deeper meaning of marriage itself, and what it truly means to marry your Beloved! Although I am primarily based in Nashville, I LOVE to travel, and will travel to wherever you are!

Abby was a GEM to work with and took incredible couple photos of my husband and I! We have done two different shoots with her and they both have been so much fun! We got TONS of incredible photos that we’ve used for Christmas cards, invitations, etc. ! Her editing and posing skills are through the roof and my husband (out of all people!!!!) was itching to do another shoot with her because of how much HE loved the pics! :) We are so thankful for the gorgeous pictures! Abby is one of the best to work with :)

Barefoot Royalty Photography

  • Serves Athens, MI for additional fees

Hi, I'm Christine! I specialize in capturing & preserving love stories for the romantic and madly in love couple; whether you’re engaged, getting married, celebrating your anniversary, or just because - I’m here for it! I want to ensure you have an unforgettable experience that allows you to truly focus on your relationship and the love you feel for each other. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my hubby and fur-babies. I absolutely love to travel and explore new places, so if you want to take me to another state, or abroad, I’m totally game!

We booked Christine with Barefoot Royalty for our wedding after meeting her at a bridal expo in Statesboro, GA. The Queen of Hearts package was the one that best suited our needs, which included an engagement session as well. My husband and I decided that we would like to have our session at the river on his dad’s property and Christine was on board and filled with excitement from the start! Little did she know our session would involve a dog, canoe, boat, champagne, and a very awkward couple. With all of these props, obstacles, and survival taking pictures from a moving riverboat in the Ogeechee, Christine got us through our engagement session. We were instantly blown away after our pictures arrived within the timeframe given! Our wedding day quickly arrived and was exciting, fun, and busy right from the start. Christine had a photography schedule for us to follow and worked as hard as possible to keep all of us on track (which was a VERY challenging task in itself). After the ceremony, Christine recommended “golden hour” pictures while our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour. As much as I was excited to start visiting and celebrating with our guests, I am so happy she encouraged us to take the time because the pictures are PERFECT! The week of the wedding, we decided to book an extra hour with Christine to be able to capture more of our reception. Honestly, aside from booking Barefoot Royalty in the first place, this may have been our best decision yet! She and her second shooter stayed until 9 PM and captured so many fun reception pictures that we would not have had otherwise! Christine stayed in touch as the weeks passed while we waited for our full gallery to arrive… and boy were they worth the wait!!! Being able to relive our wedding day through the pictures has been so much fun. We are blown away by the talent she has, attention to detail, and how everything turned out. We would highly recommend Barefoot Royalty Photography for your engagement/wedding photos and would book with Christine every time if we had to do it over again!! Hands down the BEST experience and we were most definitely given the ROYALTY treatment! Thanks for everything! - Shelby and Ryan

With over 10 years of industry experience, my strengths clearly lie in wedding and portraiture photography. Whether you're a recently engaged couple looking for someone to preserve your journey from fiancés to newlyweds through photographs, an expectant Mama hoping to capture your maternity glow or simply wanting to document you and your loved ones during whatever special season of life you're in, I would love to hear from you, I specialize in all types of portraiture but I am renowned for my wedding and engagement photography above all else. Whatever your photo needs are, I would love to chat and find out if we're a good match.

Sam is truly amazing person and photographer. First off, every conversation you have with Sam, whether it be a phone call or texting, she truly cares about the small details and wants your day to be perfect. We knew we made the right decision when we got back our engagement photos - they were beautiful! Days leading up to the wedding Sam was fully available to answer any and all questions. As an experienced wedding photographer she was able to gave helpful suggestions and ideas. She went through the shoot list, making sure she knew who everyone was and perfecting the days timeline. She is not only your wedding photographer, but she treats you like you have known her for years. She goes above and beyond for her clients and I cannot recommend her enough. She is one of the best in the business! We are so thankful we chose her to photograph our special day!
