What can I say about Amber… I could not have imagined a better photographer for our wedding! She was professional, excellent at communication prior to our big day, and best of all FUN! She was SO good with our kids and so accommodating. She legitimately felt like one of our guests while still somehow managing to capture every beautiful moment of our day. We have only seen our preview so far (just got marrie two days ago) but every single photo is gorgeous. Amber, I sincerely hope you read this and know how much we appreciate everything you did for us. You made me feel, and look, like a goddess, even though I had no idea what I was doing. I could not have asked for anyone better to capture our special day, and I can never thank you enough!

Our experience with our wedding photographers for our Ford Field wedding was beyond incredible! The attention to detail and their professionalism were absolutely out of this world. We had the pleasure of working with Chelcie, the owner, for our engagement shoot, and her vision was stunning.

We didn’t have to worry about anything—Jaclyn and Jeremy picked the perfect spots for downtown photos, guided us on poses, and everything turned out better than we could have imagined. They were so friendly that we felt comfortable being ourselves, and they made us feel absolutely beautiful.

I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!

For this entire journey leading up to the wedding, their communication was so spot on, because they understand what it’s like to plan a wedding and how stressful it is to think of the little things. They were constantly sending words of advice, encouragement, and so many awesome ideas! On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to the room I was getting ready in and it was like the second they showed up, every single wedding day jitter I had just flew out the window. They made everything feel so natural and easy, and honestly so much fun! There is no one I would recommend more than this amazing husband/wife duo, because honestly they made our entire wedding 100x better! To top it off, after the wedding they gifted us a box with the sweetest candid Polaroid pictures that brought me to tears. It was all just absolutely perfect! They also got us our sneak peaks immediately after the wedding, they were all just so perfect and beautiful! These two will forever be my go-to photographers and I encourage everyone to choose them for any event! D.J. & Ashley, thank you for going through this entire engagement/wedding journey with us.

A documentary, candid, creative wedding photography team offering film & digital photo packages ranging from 8-12 hours. Our editing style is natural with a touch of mood. We love capturing images that make you feel something!

It feels like every choice of wedding vendor is an important one but the argument that photography is the most important is valid - not only do you spend your the majority of your wedding day alongside your photographers, but you also rely on their work to re-live your big day for the rest of your life. We could not have chosen better people or artists to work with for our wedding than Michelle and Michael Terry and we are absolutely thrilled with the choice we made!! From the moment we encountered their work online we were drawn to their style which is a wonderful mix of posed romantic elegance and docurealistic candids. The strength of their love for each other shines through in the images they capture for other couples and families so strongly. Then, after meeting with Michelle to go over pricing and packages we immediately fell in love with her midwest kindness and genuine personality. We planned our Chicago wedding from out of state where we live, and the Terrys had never photographed at our venue the Stan Mansion before - however, we trusted the good reviews and booked them to travel from MI for our big weekend. Incredible call by us! Michelle and Michael covered our welcome party as well as 10 hours of our wedding day and upon meeting them it was like more of our friends or cousins had just arrived. A remarkable team, they had the very best non-chaotic energy and posed and encouraged us without being cheesy or “fake.” Between Michael’s funny prompts and Michelle’s kind gaze behind her lens we, our families, and our wedding party felt like a million bucks. They collaborated seamlessly with our other vendors they had never worked with before and everyone asked us - where did you find them?! Their coverage of our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was ever-present yet unobstrisuve and their smiling faces inspired confidence all night. And we know this confidence was well-founded because we recieved an ENORMOUS sneak peek gallery of photos we love before we even left for our honeymoon days later! Michelle and Michael - thank you for feeling the love in the room on our favorite day in history, adding to it, and capturing it so well. We can’t wait to have you photograph our family for years to come - what an incredible joy! Book them - you will not regret it!

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

WOW. We just went through our photos this morning together. We are literally obsessed. You and Jay did such an amazing job! Marco and I are both so grateful we had your team capture our day. The number of genuinely HAPPY and SMILING faces tells us so much about how great of an evening it was not only for us but also our guests too. You captured so many genuine and natural moments which was exactly what we talked about nearly 2 years ago. We are sad it’s over, sad to not be working in the same capacity with you but I have a feeling we might have made a connection far more than just a vendor client relationship. Thank you for all your help through all our hurdles and listening to our vision and making it come alive from every aspect! Love, The Kus

Forever Faithful Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. The owner, Sarah, had great communication with us throughout the planning process and knew exactly what she needed to capture all the special moments of our big day. The quality of their work is amazing - the photos are clear, vibrant, and beautifully composed. They took wonderful family portraits as well as intimate shots of us exchanging vows and cutting the cake. We are thrilled with the final product and would highly recommend Forever Faithful Photography to any couple looking for an experienced, talented, and professional wedding photographer.

I am a Traverse City native, completely passionate about meeting new people and celebrating life's biggest adventures with them. Some of my favorite things in the world are Northern Michigan summers, a good story, and beautiful light. I am crazy about Jesus, my family, and adventures, and I consider it a great privilege to be a living my dream of being a wedding and portrait photographer in my absolute favorite place on earth.

Anna and Jules were the most perfect photographers for our wedding day. If I could give them 1,000 stars, I would! From the moment we first spoke, they were prompt, easy to work with, and incredibly friendly, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly amazing and unmatched - they captured the true beauty and intimacy of our wedding, never getting in the way but always there to document every important moment. Anna and Jules made me feel special at every turn, and I can't imagine having anyone else photograph us that day. Anna also photographed our engagement pictures so we knew we were in good hands from the start. She was incredibly helpful with planning our wedding day and bringing our vision for our wedding pictures to life. We will definitely be using them again for our other big life moments, and I can't recommend them enough to any couple looking for wedding photographers they can trust completely.

We had the most wonderful experience working with Ris for our wedding photography! She was prompt with her communication, easy to work with, and took all of our requests perfectly and was sure to execute them! Our photos turned out perfect, and I love looking back on them and getting to cherish them forever. We loved both our engagement session and our wedding pictures and Ris took care to ensure that we had the absolute best experience possible. Our sneak peeks came out quickly, with the rest of the photos to follow a few weeks later. I highly recommend In the Moment Photography to anyone in need of a wedding photographer, Ris is a gem of a human being and I cannot recommend her enough!
