I'm quirky, colorful, I swear a bit too much, I love a good whiskey, and I love really hard. I'm not a mushy person who will say they "love love" but I love a good love story.

I have used Becca Gail Photography over and over. She does amazing work and makes you feel very comfortable. Becca offers greet suggestions and posing to really make you photos look amazing. She has shot boudoir, engagement, and family photos for me and is shooting my upcoming wedding in a few months. Booking her as my photographer was by far the easiest decision and I know once we booked I wouldn’t have to stress about photos anymore. Definitely recommend!

Hi Friends I’m Kaley! I have been lead/owner of KTP for the past 7 years & continue to grow. With my strong love for capturing love stories I started dipping my toes into the wedding industry 4 years ago. Over the years I have found that I love destination & elopement weddings. There’s just something that gets me in my feels seeing couples that love each other, stand amongst family and vow their love.

Kaley Toth Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. From our first interaction, Kaley's communication style was fast, genuine, and friendly - she made us feel at ease right away. The quality of their work is excellent, with a moody, romantic style that captured the essence of our special day. Kaley helped pose us in a way that felt natural and not overly posed, and she really put her all into making us, who are typically awkward in front of the camera, look wonderful. We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend Kaley Toth Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Cammi is a radiant person, and it's clear she loves what she does. She has been a resource on all things wedding, and I am so thankful to have worked with her throughout this process!

Wild Elegance

  • Serves East Lansing, MI

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 Danielle. I'm a Midwest elopement and intimate wedding photographer. Currently based in a small suburb just outside Detroit, Michigan, but available for travel anywhere! I have had a love for creating for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I drew everything as I saw it and I think that's why photography feels so perfect. It's an absolute dream to be an artist by trade and capturing special moments is a job I take to heart.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kindred Light has a way of capturing the moments you can't plan. Any photographer can capture those planned shots - those do not speak to their ability. Danielle has an eye and ability to capture the moments that speak the emotions without words, sounds, or captions. Being able to capture personality, emotion, expression, desire, and intent is something rare to find. Being able to have those moments/memories capture from our weddings is something we are forever grateful for! There is not a monetary value that you can put to those moments/memories!!!

Rayan Anastor Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves East Lansing, MI

You can usually find me out on our boat with my husband and three children exploring the Great Lakes. When I am not exploring Michigan, I am definitely traveling to explore other areas around the world. I love photographing the fleeting moments with my children as they experience life is something: A smile, a tear, the belly laugh, concentration and everything in between. This fascination is what carries over to my photography. The connection between two people who intend to spend the rest of their lives together is magical. It is expressive and full of fleeting moments that one may forget unless it is captured in a photograph.

Rayan is one of the most creative wedding photographers working today. During the leadup, she'll work closely with you to understand the nuances of your day. And when the day arrives, she'll document your sentimental moments in a thoughtful, discreet manner. My background is in art and design, and every time I look at her images, I'm so incredibly impressed by her artistic vision. But perhaps even more importantly, the photographs remind me of how special the day was and how warm and accommodating Rayan was throughout the entire experience. I can't imagine it without her.

Photography has been my passion for the past 15 years and I love what I do more than I can tell you. I strive to be as helpful as possible while making the planning process easy and smooth, and then of course, to knock your wedding images out of the park when your wedding day comes!

She is one of the sweetest, extremely creative photographers that I have ever worked with. From the very first meeting at Grand River Park for our engagement photo session, I knew she was going to be the photographer for our wedding. I cannot express how thrilled we are with the photos from our engagement and wedding!!! Jenna captured every special moment with such creativity and professionalism. From the fun candid shots to the posed portraits, each picture tells a beautiful story of our special day. The attention to detail and the ability to make everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera was truly impressive. We will cherish these memories forever, and we highly recommend Jenna Rose Photography to anyone looking to capture their special moments perfectly!! We can’t wait to have her capture more memories in the future!!! Thank you Jenna for everything!!!

  • Serves East Lansing, MI

I believe love and light are two of the closest things we have to real magic. We're so fortunate that photography utilizes both. Art, storytelling, and connection have stood the test of time throughout human history. We were designed to create, entertain, and love. I approach each wedding day like it's the most important love story that will ever be told. Because to you, it is. I approach most of the day with a photojournalistic approach. Then during portraits I'm skilled at both posing you beautifully enough to be an editorial piece and prompting you in ways to bring out cinematic romance.

Lynzee is simply the best of the best. She is intensely creative, enthusiastically supportive and downright fun to be around on a wedding day. She can whip a wedding party or unruly family into shape with the kindness and firmness of a true professional and makes sure to get everything you want and then some from your photography experience. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for emotional, colorful and unique engagement and wedding photographs you will cherish for a lifetime.

Rachelle Rae did all of this...and then some! She was a delight to work with from the very first email I sent her to the moment she said goodbye to me at the wedding for the night. I would recommend her anytime to my inquiring couples and hope we have the chance to work together again!

Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

So easy to work with and professional! My labor went very quickly so photos were in the immediate postpartum. I love how each detail was captured so intimately to tell the story, so I can look back on those moments. She respected the environment and helped in any way to make sure I felt cared for-above and beyond being a photographer. We also did some newborn/family photos a few days later and she was very patient with my full of energy toddler, all while capturing the sweet details of our newborn. All of the photos are beautiful!! When I asked for a few edits to the gallery it was done and updated for me quickly.

I'm so glad you're here! My name is Lindsay, and I was put on this earth to capture all the special, in-between moments that tell your story. When I’m not trying out a new recipe, kidnapping a puppy to love on, or packing my bags for my next adventure, I’m spending time with couples telling their story in the most authentic way possible. If you’re not afraid of some PDA, or getting a bit dirty just to grab the perfect shot, then we’re probably the perfect match.

Lindsay is AMAZING! Seriously, stop researching and book her right now because she was an absolute dream to work with, is SO talented, and all our photos are stunning. Starting from the very beginning when we had our intro call with her, she was so kind, flexible, organized, and truly invested in documenting our love story. We used Lindsay for both our engagement and wedding photographer, and I can easily say the results of both FAR exceeded our expectations. She captured ALL of the special moments throughout the day in an authentic and beautiful manner, so now when we look back at them we feel like she captured our day perfectly. Here's all the finer details, if you are interested! 1.) Our biggest fear/challenge about hiring a photographer was working with someone who didn't make us feel comfortable or relaxed or someone who didn't know how to prompt us for posing. Lindsay was NONE of those things. She instantly made us feel so at ease from the second we met her and her prompts are so easy to follow and produced the best, most natural and authentic photos. 2.) The most helpful aspect of working with Lindsay pre-wedding was her STELLAR organization and responsiveness. Seriously, this girl is organized to a T and always responded to my (sometimes VERY lengthy) emails in a timely manner. She was always so patient with my endless questions, and even took time out of her personal life to preview our wedding photo location to pick out the best spots! How amazing is that?? 3.) Working with Lindsay the day of the wedding was perfect. She arrived to our getting ready location early to make sure she gave herself plenty of time to capture our details photos and followed the schedule perfectly the remainder of the day. She kept us on schedule when we needed it, captured all of our special moments, was prepared and organized, and followed our very detailed (and complex) family photo requests to make sure allllllll the different family combos were included. All in all, if you are looking for a kind, genuine, authentic, organized, talented, and professional photographer.....Lindsay is your girl. We could not be any happier with our experience working with her and the STUNNING engagement and wedding photos she produces. Lindsay honestly feels like she's become our friend and I'm honestly sad that our time working with her for our wedding has come to an end, but we plan on recommending her to everyone and anyone so hopefully our paths will cross again in the future! We love you Lindsay 3

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

Kay was referred to me by two different brides. I had seen their wedding pictures posted and reached out immediately. The turnaround time for receiving our photos took TWO WEEKS. I know brides that didn’t get their photos back for months. It was so special to be able to see them so quickly after our wedding. Especially considering the exceptional quality and attention to detail in each image. The final edits were flawless, and the photographer managed to enhance the natural beauty. I got every single photo I had put on my shot-list. But what stood out most was when we noticed that we didn’t get a picture of my parents alone and I asked her if we ever took one. She offered to photoshop a picture of them together and the final result was unbelievable. You would have never known they were not standing next to each other. My parents could not be happier with it. I wholeheartedly recommend Kay to anyone in need of capturing their special day. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to delivering outstanding results make them a top choice. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I am an intimate wedding photographer based out of my home state, the Mitten. To sum it up, I'm laid back, chill, and ready to hang out. I call myself an intimate wedding photographer because I work best with couples who want a smaller, more close-knit feel to their wedding day and because I offer my clients a sense of familiarity, and comfortability and help them feel relaxed and ready for the day ahead. By the end-we're great friends! My hope with every session I have is that you'll find not only the pictures beautiful but the shared experience one to remember as well.

Kaitlin did a fantastic job capturing my wedding day. She got along so well with everyone in the wedding party which made shooting a blast. Her work is outstanding, she is so easy to work with, and I would recommend her to everyone.

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

I am a Wife, Mother and Nana. I have always loved working with people, I have worked in retail, banking, hotels & restaurants. Then I decided to turn my favorite hobby into a business. So in 2005 L.A.'s Photography was born. I pride myself on treating my clients the way I would want to be treated. (Something I learned from my Papa) That means not only giving them a fair price & best photos I can deliver, but also helping them in anyway I can before and after their session or event. “What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”-Karl LagerfeldA

They captured the essence of my wedding day in a way that surpassed all my expectations. From start to finish. LA photography demonstrated an extraordinary blend of professionalism, artistry, and a delicate touch that made our day unforgettable. They have exceptional eye for detail and composition, capturing both the grandeur and the intimate moments of our wedding with elegance and flair. They exceeded all expectations and provided us with a stunning array of photographs that we will treasure for a lifetime. For anyone looking for a wedding photographer who combines technical skill with an individualized touch, LA photography comes highly recommended. Their work has captured the magic of our wedding day in a way that words alone could never fully convey.

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.

Patty was absolutely amazing to work with! She made the day feel so easy and smooth! She not only caught all the big moments of the day but also caught all the little, tiny moments that I don't see a lot of photos of on wedding days. We love the photos and will cherish them forever!

I strongly believe everyone deserves a wedding photographer who shows up, makes an effort beyond the contractual agreement, and delivers high quality images that are timeless - not trendy. You deserve photos that are meaningful, and photos that let you relive those moments. My only promise is to deliver my best work, communicate well, and serve YOU the best way I am able.

We hired Phern for our June 2021 wedding. She also took our engagement photos. They are the best photos we have ever received from a photographer! She knows exactly how to pose people and for candid photos. She doesn't have to look at other pictures to know where to put you or trying to decide. She has a wide knowledge of what to do. She is so fun to work with too! We loved her personality and was down to earth, which was great for us on what can be such a hectic day. She even helped bustle my train with 5 bustle points many times throughout the day. She was absolutely incredible to work with and we plan on working with her again. Hire her! You will not regret it!

I'm Laura, lover of coffee, mac & cheese and thrifting. I take every opportunity to let my feet touch the dirt. If it was acceptable to run barefoot everywhere, my shoes would be off in a heartbeat. I try to take this feeling into my photography. Raw, alive, and unbridled happiness is the root of all I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the opportunity to second shoot with L.Isabelle Photography for a wedding and I could not recommend her enough - as a photographer or a mentor! She had a detailed plan, a well thought out kit for any kind of emergency and a vision for the entire wedding and its photographs (not to mention her beautiful galleries!) From pinning all of the guys flowers, helping the bride with her veil, she goes far beyond photography for her clients. She was so polite and fun to work with. I hope to be able to do it again soon!

Hey! I'm Christina- an elopement + intimate wedding photographer based in Michigan and travel worldwide. If you're looking for the traditional wedding photographer- you won't find that here. An adventurous spirit and a sucker for true love. I yearn to capture those wildly intimate moments for ALL couples. I'm here for the wild souls, the madly in love, those who romanticize the world around them. Capturing honest love in the most beautiful places on the planet is what fuels my fire. If you are seeking cinematic, documentary style art- you're in the right place.

Awarded Best of Zola
Christina is absolutely wonderful! She is one of the most creative photographers you’ll ever meet. I just knew she would capture all the special moments to remember, and she did just that. The detail she puts into editing is pure magic - you can tell she spends a lot of her time pouring her passion into her work. My surprise proposal photos that Christina captured of my fiancé and I were just so lovely – I had to ask her if she could be there for my wedding in Maine and she joyfully accepted. I would recommend Christina to anyone who loves the moody and romantic side of photography – you won’t regret it! I will cherish these photographs forever!
