Captured by Grace Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,300
  • Serves Central Lake, MI

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.

We were thrilled with Grace from Captured by Grace Photography! Communication with Grace was excellent - she responded quickly and thoroughly answered all our questions during the planning process. On the big day, Grace brought an incredible energy - she made taking photos fun and kept things moving smoothly. The quality of Grace's work is simply stunning. She delivered way more high-quality, artistic photos than we expected, capturing all the special moments of our wedding day and telling the story beautifully. Grace also created a wonderful mix of posed portraits and candid shots that we will treasure forever. We felt like Grace intuitively understood what we wanted and needed on our wedding day. From our first couples photos years ago when we started dating, through our engagement session, and finally our wedding day, we have loved working with Grace. We can't recommend Captured by Grace highly enough - Grace is simply the best wedding photographer with an awesome talent and vibrant personality! If you need a photographer she is the one to hire!

Hey it's me Alexis! I am a Traverse City based wedding photographer! I have had the honor of photographing beautiful weddings all around Michigan the past 4 years. Having traveled to Arizona, Tennessee, Nebraska, Florida, South Carolina, California, and more, I am open and ready to travel abroad for your wedding as well!

Alexis Brianne Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was easily understandable, thorough, and very organized, which helped put our minds at ease throughout the wedding planning process. Alexis' photos and editing skills are truly amazing - there were so many beautiful pictures to choose from, it was almost overwhelming. Her attention to detail and ability to freeze special moments in time is just incredible. Before the wedding, Alexis was in constant contact with us, and on the day of, her calm presence helped reassure my wife when her anxiety started to get the best of her. When I needed to make a last-minute change, Alexis was incredibly reassuring and helped me work through it. We really appreciated the time she spent with us going over specific shots we wanted, as well as her suggestions for other unique angles and perspectives. Compared to some of our friends who paid almost 15,000 for their wedding photography, Alexis' work and value is unmatched. In fact, I even suggested she consider raising her prices (after our wedding, of course!). Overall, Alexis Brianne Photography exceeded our expectations in every way and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Her photography beautifully documented our wedding celebrations and we will treasure the photos for years to come.

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
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

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 am a luxury destination photographer based in MICHIGAN, COLORADO & FLORIDA! I am ALL over Michigan and all over the nation! I have a home in Lansing, Holland & Traverse City. I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. 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!!

On the day, both photographers were amazing to have by our side - not only did they capture phenomenal shots, but they also reminded us to take a moment and enjoy ourselves. They felt like best friends following us around, and it didn't feel like we had just hired a couple for the day. Their passion, kindness, and talent were evident in every photo.

Lover of all things photography. I have been a photographer for over 10 years and love what we do. I have an amazing team that helps me out. My husband also second shoots with me. I like to say you get two professionals for the price of one. I try to offer quality at a reasonable cost. I know photography can be daunting for some people and my goal is always to put people at ease.

We had the pleasure of working with Heidi for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. From the initial consultation to the big day itself, Heidi was professional, personable, and incredibly talented. She captured every special moment with such an artistic eye and attention to detail. The way she managed to blend into the background while still getting those perfect candid shots was amazing. Our wedding album is a treasure trove of memories, beautifully edited and filled with shots that truly reflect the emotions and joy of the day. We especially loved how she made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, which is no small feat. Her patience and creativity really shone through, and we are beyond grateful for the stunning photos that we will cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we saw Breanne’s beautiful photos, we knew we wanted her to capture our day too. Her style of timeless, elegant, and true-to-the moment photos fit our vision exactly. She was the first vendor we booked after our venue and it was the easiest decision we made throughout the whole process! We booked with her in 2018 for our 2020 wedding and then COVID happened. Through two year-long postponements, Breanne was supportive and understanding. Then, when we were faced with the predicament of finding a new venue 10 months out from our 2022 wedding, she was incredibly helpful and kind – providing not only suggestions for new venues to look at, but also lending an ear as a friend and giving us advice. Picking out a new venue was stressful, but having such a caring person as Breanne in our corner meant so much to us. On the day of our wedding, Breanne and her husband, Jason, made us feel so comfortable throughout the day and helped keep things moving, even when we got behind schedule. They made us laugh and encouraged us to really feel the joy of the day. When our wedding photos were delivered, we were blown away! Breanne and Jason captured moments both big and small and looking through them is like reliving the day. We are so grateful to have such beautiful and timeless photos to cherish forever.

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!

When I was looking for a wedding photographer, Sydney stood out against the rest of them. She is so quick to email you back, is friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of weddings. When it came to our engagement session she gave us ideas for locations and just made the whole experience so fun and easy. My husband hates his photos being taken and he enjoyed our engagement session and loved talking to Sydney's husband who was with her. When it came to our wedding day, Sydney has this awesome questionnaire that answers everything! There were questions on there I never even thought about!! She showed up early and found places for portraits and checked in on me. She's just the sweetest and made our day so special, even through the stressful parts. She was a blast at our reception dancing with everyone on the dance floor while taking photos, like I said she made the day even better. We were sitting in our hotel room the night of our wedding and I got a Facebook notification from Sydney Marie Photography, Sydney had posted 10 photos from our wedding, I couldn't believe it and it made me so happy. I can't thank Sydney enough for everything, if you're looking for a photographer do not hesitate and hire her.

Hi! I'm Claire, owner of Copper Stitch Photo Co. and lover of all things weddings. I'm a documentary style photographer that thrives on intimate moments and capturing your day authentically. I'm also a 2025 bride so I know exactly what it's like to be planning a wedding!

Claire took photos for my husband and I’s wedding, and we couldn’t recommend her enough! She was fun, professional, and took AMAZING photos. We consistently get compliments on our photos. Both our families as well as bridal party really enjoyed working with her, which is why I recommend her to all my newly engaged friends. One of the best decisions you can make for your wedding day is having Claire be apart of it!

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 marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

I have worked in Healthcare for almost 7 years. I'm blessed to be able to do Photography in my free time and now make it a full time second income.

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
8 years ago I became an Astrid Cordier Bride and it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life! Looking back at my wedding day, the most valuable thing to me by far is the unbelievable photos! It is my most beloved memories of the day I married my soulmate and best friend, and also the day my mother was still alive- walking me down the aisle! I cherish these everlasting memories captured perfectly on the photos that my children now admire, and that their children will one day look at and talk about. Our photos will pass from generation to generation and I am proud of my photos. Astrid Cordier captured each moment perfectly! She made us feel confident & beautiful in front of the camera and she could even get my husband (who does not like photos in general) to smile and enjoy taking each photo! I will book her services for as long as I live. Soon when my 10 year anniversary comes up, she will surely be the first person I contact to take the photos at our Wedding vow renewal ceremony. Highly recommended!!! I am proud to call myself an Astrid Cordier Bride!

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kiersten for my wedding, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment we met, her professionalism and passion for photography were evident. She took the time to understand our vision and was super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. On the big day, Kiersten was a true pro—capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. She managed to blend into the background while still getting all the key shots we wanted. The candid shots really stood out. The final photos blew us away. The quality and creativity were top-notch, and we received countless compliments from our friends and family. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who delivers stunning results and makes the process enjoyable, Kiersten is your person. You won’t regret it!
