Genevieve Devries Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Chelsea, MI

I’m an IT professional by day, a photographer by night, a mom & wife every second of the day. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m married to my soul mate and together we have two young, rowdy boys that we have LOTS of fun with. I grew up in Argentina and that’s shaped me in more ways than I can explain. I have a deep rooted connection to people & places and often wear my heart right on my sleeve. I am very ‘laid-back’ & focused when in a photo session. I do more looking than talking to make sure I get the vision just right. I provide specific direction when it’s needed and vague direction to get the intimate candids.

I had no idea our small, low-key wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze sophistication, refinement as well as fun! Not bad for a simple courthouse wedding! If you value photography and want someone who is a master of their craft and a true professional all-round, look no further. Genevieve did everything she could to empower and coach us into really just feeling like our best selves. At no point did we feel self-conscious. We will treasure these photos forever. Thank you, Genevieve DeVries Photography

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co.

  • Serves Chelsea, MI

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We absolutely loved working with OLAS! Our team (photo & video) was so adaptable to the venue and had great ideas for shots and making the most of the location. I loved all of the candids taken of the guests which is something I wanted during the ceremony and reception. We were able to see parts of the night that we would have missed. The planning team was also great- Hannah was very helpful in giving me an example timeline ahead of our call. We’re so pleased with our choice to select OLAS!

I was matched with Arie through what was called Tolman Media at the time. I had huge fears and reservations just having a photographer chosen for one of the biggest days of your life but Arie was spectacular. She helped me from the very beginning setting up a phone meet and great to discuss what was important to my husband and I. She then lit up the room with her personality and professionalism on our big day. She met everyone exactly where they were and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Our wedding pictures are absolutely perfect and I couldn’t have picked a better photographer myself! Thanks Arie!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Mikayla from Moonrae! She is so kind, friendly, caring, thoughtful and considerate of all your wants, needs, and especially your vision of your wedding day! She made the planning process so simple. Mikayla was very accessible and had clear, concise communication throughout the entire process! My goal was to have documentary style, candid photos that showed the joy we felt that day the and love we felt for each other. She did exactly that! We used her for our engagement shoot, and for our photography and videography on our wedding day! Our sneak peeks were AMAZING and exactly what I wanted! Our amazing photographer day of, Ali, was quick to put out small fires and think on her feet, all while making sure we were happy and didn’t need anything! Whether we needed encouragement, direction or even another drink, she was there! So many people told me they were impressed with how much our videographer, Jackson, captured EVERY moment! He was constantly moving around, getting different angles, and getting different perspectives of our day. Overall, my experience with Moonrae Photography was excellent, and I have nothing but positive things to say about the company, and it’s lovely owner!

Hello! My name is Tonya. First and foremost, I am a mom to a beautiful little boy (who, let's face it, is completely tired of mom's camera!). I started behind a camera almost fifteen years ago when my grandpa first showed me how to use his. I live for the click of the shutter, capturing those moments that will be gone but never forgotten. Having been a previous cast member at Walt Disney World (and other theme parks), I found that I love the organized chaos that comes with photographing a wedding. Not to mention, who doesn't adore capturing the love between two people?

We loved working with C’est La Vie Photographie. The editing on all our pictures was so beautiful and they were able to instruct us in exactly what to do in the pictures. They turned out so beautifully!

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!

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!!
