Chelsea Carrizales Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves East Lansing, MI

I grew up in a small, rural town in Southern Michigan where I married my high school sweetheart. I first dabbled in photography in high school but perfected my craft while living on a Marine base in California where my husband was stationed. It was here that I was able to capture special moments for friends who became family and those wanting memories to last forever. I have since moved back to my hometown, where I raise my two beautiful daughters with my husband. Quickly, I learned that weddings are my passion in photography and I want to continue to help others capture the best day of their life! I simply love love!

She helped two people who generally don’t like their pictures taken feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her style of photography was exactly what we were looking for and we are so thrilled with the outcome. Lyndsey set up a meeting prior to our wedding and created a whole timeline for photos that went along with what our coordinators at the venue had planned. As a big planning person this was so nice for me to see how the whole day would fit together. My favorite thing about working with Lyndsey was just her in general. She is truly a kind person who is passionate about her work. She has an eye for photography that I haven’t seen in any one else’s work. The poses that she created felt natural and came across beautifully. I can’t recommend her enough. If you are looking for timeless looking photos that don’t fit into that standard wedding photo box then she is the one for you! I am so thankful to have worked with her during my wedding journey, she made everything amazing! I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Breanne Rochelle Photography

  • Classic style
  • Serves East Lansing, MI

I’m Breanne, a Michigan-based classic wedding photographer and creative with a big heart. Coffee is my love language. Super passionate about black and white photos, sunshine, real love stories, travel, pearls, and my husband & goldendoodle Brinkley. Detroit | Northern Michigan | Florida

Awarded Best of Zola
Best. Decision. Ever. We booked Breanne maybe two weeks after we got engaged, after pricing out a few other options. She is extremely organized and professional, provided us all the documentation we needed to review, and promptly set up an initial meeting. Once we booked her for the wedding, we scheduled engagement photos. Breanne traveled significant distances for both our engagement session and our actual wedding. Her pricing is competitive with other Detroit photographers but I really don't think her work product is competitive because she is leaps and bounds above other photographers. Take a look through her galleries and you can see why she is so highly rated - you can literally see individuals' personalities through her photos. That's what drew us to her initially, and she did not disappoint. I will say the engagement session is necessary practice, so that Breanne can get to know you and you get to know her. I don't think our wedding photos would have turned out as outstanding as they did without that practice. Prior to the wedding, Breanne was very responsive to communication and she goes above and beyond to help you with any part of your wedding - she just truly loves love. Her timeline was the backbone of my wedding and I tailored all the other vendors and reception events around her schedule. Working with Breanne was the least stressful and most enjoyable part of wedding planning. She is exceptionally professional and prepared, and yet she communicates with personalized attention that makes you feel like she's your friend helping you plan your wedding. It is the perfect mix of professional competence and genuine interest. At the actual wedding, Breanne was a rockstar. She gives you everything you need in advance to prepare, like checklists and timelines. Once there, she is a calming presence. My makeup people were running an hour behind so instead of plenty of time to get dressed and do bridal portraits, we had about ten minutes. Breanne jumped right in to assist with my MOH and I've never seen buttons get done so quickly. And she still managed to take breathtaking bridal photos in about 3 minutes. She was also flexible when she saw we weren't going to stick to the timeline, she improvised and took venue photos while she waited for me. After the wedding, she was quick and efficient with the family and bridal party photos and kept the focus on the bride and groom, which I really appreciated. She manages all expectations when it comes to gallery delivery as well. AND THE PHOTOS ARE UNBELIEVABLE. I cannot stress this enough. She provides photos that are true and authentic to who you are, and how you feel the day you get married. She is not a bystander to your wedding, just doing her job until it's on to the next wedding. She truly participates, learns the names of your bridal party, remembers the little details or special requests that are important to you, and always gets your good side. Like most couples, my groom doesn't usually like how he looks in photos. But our wedding photos were the perfect depiction of "us". Every time I go through them (which is very often) I keep thinking to myself, "yes, this is us, this is exactly how I remember that moment". A lot of wedding websites tell you not to skimp on the photos and it's true because after those 24 hours fly by, you will only have these photos to remember them. And you will not be disappointed if you chose Breanne Rochelle Photography to capture your day.

Winter Lily Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $900
  • Serves East Lansing, MI

I truly believe that a wedding day is as magical as the first snowfall — both fleeting and beautiful in their own way. As time goes by, those precious moments start to melt away, and as the saying goes, 'a picture is worth a thousand words.' There’s something deeply rewarding about capturing the perfect moment, but the real magic happens when you see the look on someone’s face as they experience that moment for the first time. It’s as if the photo becomes a timeless treasure, something they can hold onto forever, and that feeling? It’s truly indescribable!

Absolutely amazing photos taken that I will cherish forever. Me and my boyfriend had dozens of photos taken that we now have printed out and made collages with and even turned into puzzles. Extremely professional and easy to schedule with. I could not be any happier with my photos. Usually I don’t care to have my photo taken but I am absolutely in love with these photos. I also love how inclusive Winter Lily Photography is. If you’re on the fence about having these photos done just do it you won’t regret it!

Lynzee Harrison Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • 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 an exceptional photographer who truly elevates every moment of your special day. If you're looking for someone with an eye for the smallest details and a passion for capturing genuine emotion, look no further. Her work is nothing short of breathtaking—our photos are timeless, romantic, and feel like they were pulled straight from a movie. Lynzee’s use of light and her skill in capturing the perfect sunset shots set her apart from any other photographer. I highly recommend adding film to your wedding package, some of our favorites are the film photos!

VRA PHOTOGRAPHY

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves East Lansing, MI

I aim to professionally document the wonders of your celebration in a way that feels easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for you. My creative background provides a unique aspect to my photography. It combines high-quality and top-of-the-range equipment with an individual perspective.

When you are hiring Veera, you are not getting yourself a photographer, you are roping in a magician, and the master of capturing emotion. Veera covered my wedding that spanned 3 days, and was filled with events, music, dance, color and laughter. I have never met someone as professional, fun, kind, accommodating and talented as him. He was the best vendor I worked with through the wedding planning. He knows exactly what to do, the shots to take and angles to capture. His skill and talent will immortalize many an occasion, and with guarantee, compel you to relive the joyous event. The hues in his pictures are the most vibrant combination and contrasts, and you will soon learn that he’s elusive to normal surfers of wedding websites on the Internet, and rightfully so, for he is your surprise find. Should you ever have the good fortune of landing his services, you will look at the outcome and realize that he has put his time and soul into it. I do not wax eloquent about people for any reason other than the fact that they simply deserve it and he is one of the very few people I’ve ever written this for. I can count on my fingertips the people that I’ve left reviews. Veera, bless your heart, you’re a great guy, with the gift of photography from God, but you enhance it with your good nature, absolute professionalism, sense of timing and the oodles of creativity you possess. I do not wish to have any other photographer for any milestone of my life will follow this. Hire him without the slightest doubt and he will make your moments look like they’re straight from a magazine, without all the fuss and with everything that’s real and tugs at your heart.

Thank you for visiting my page. My name is Nezrin, you can call me Nez. My inspiration comes from everyday things and sounds that surround us, often overlooked, that make us feel good. My heart is driven by the desire to convey emotions and narrate love stories, so my photography transcends the ordinary, offering a blend of simplicity, natural elegance, and timeless beauty. My work is not just about capturing moments. It's about unveiling the profound connection between couples and making each wedding distinct and deeply personal.

We had a great experience! She made us feel so comfortable, turning a walk in the park into some memories of our wedding day that will last for a lifetime. When we reached out to Lady Moon, she responded quickly. We knew we wanted to be married outside but didn't have a location at the time, so she helped us pick the perfect spot for a fall wedding. She was ready to go when we arrived, making us feel relaxed and comfortable immediately. She had several spots picked out for photos and suggested an excellent location for our ceremony. We didn't have to do anything, and the photos were amazing! Overall, we were so happy with the service that we used her a second time for our family photo, and we'll continue to do so in the future. I would highly recommend Lady Moon Photography.

Hi, I'm Madalyn Muncy-Piens, the lady behind the lens over here at Madalyn Muncy Photography. I'm not into being the center of attention so I keep your wedding ALL ABOUT YOU. I'm all about balance, so I'm the perfect combination of organized and flexible, proactive yet not overbearing, knowledgeable but not bossy, and a comforting presence both with and without a camera in hand. When you hire me, you get someone who genuinely cares about comparing photos of our dogs, sharing recipes for dinner, and listening to your book recommendations. Check out my website or Instagram to learn more about me!

Awarded Best of Zola
Madalyn was probably the best photographer we could have asked for, it was like having a friend instead of a vendor throughout the day. She just does a great job of capturing candid and genuine emotion, and after getting all of our photos back we loved how she was able to capture us (and pretty much everyone else) looking great and having fun without being overly posed. In addition, she was so incredibly organized and professional throughout the entire process, she got us our timeline and I was able to use that to build the rest of our day-of-schedule around it. She communicated early and often and always made sure she got the list of required photos we wanted so we didn’t miss anything. Since she also hadn’t photographed at our venue before, she set up her own meeting with the venue before the wedding to get a tour and walk-through so it wasn’t a surprise on the day of the wedding. She was assertive when she needed to be to wrangle our families for photos but otherwise was extremely flexible in getting shots if the plans changed! Especially since our wedding was late in the winter and we decided against a first look, she made sure to have a lighting assistant on hand to help coordinate additional flash and we got some great evening photos, and the second shooter who helped out had some awesome ideas for important shots too. Also, she got us engagement photo sneak peeks within 24 hours and got us our wedding sneak peeks (40+ photos!) within 48 hours of our wedding. She just made the entire planning experience and photo sessions so comfortable and fun.

Hey!! I'm Alexis I'm here to capture all the meaningful moments🪩 I capture it all - between the mix of posed, and candids I capture your day so you can relive it any time you want to! I have been a photographer for 5 years now and my favorite moment of a wedding is when you hit the dance floor and are surrounded by all your favorite people! I am a lover of love, disco balls, and Champagne towers! When im not capturing couples love I am spending time with my dog Brimley or finding new places. I cant wait to be your new hype girl and third wheel!

Alexis was great from the start! She traveled for us for our engagement pictures in Ludington and to Bay City for the wedding. She had virtual meetings with us a few times to get the feel for our style and what we wanted. She even helped me decide on our engagement picture outfits! She always had suggestions and was easy to get ahold of too. She was so sweet too. Day of our wedding she had ideas of how to pose us but also took many candid shots too. Our guests loved her and she stayed a little later to capture something we requested during dancing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, she also gives sneak peaks right away, which we loved!!! Can’t wait to see the pictures fully done!

Hello and thank you for visiting my page! My name is Samantha Beach and I am a professional wedding photographer. To say that I love my job would be a major understatement. Being a wedding photographer is a true passion of mine, and I've been living this passion since 2008. I’ve been told that I am great to work with. It must be true because I enjoy working with my clients just as much. My goal is to capture each wedding in it's own unique light and to be able to tell the story of your day with my photos. I’d love to capture yours. XOXO Samantha

Samantha Lee Photography was absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was extremely fast and detailed, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of, Samantha's positive attitude and fantastic time management skills were a huge asset - she got all of my groomsmen, who usually hate having their pictures taken, to smile and feel comfortable. I never felt rushed, and Samantha made sure to capture every photo I had imagined. At the end of the night, when her time was technically up, she noticed me dancing with my dad (who I don't have the best relationship with) and pulled her camera back out to capture that special moment. It meant so much to me, and is just one example of how Samantha went above and beyond. I will forever recommend Samantha Lee Photography to anyone looking for an amazing wedding photographer.

I've been photographing weddings full time since 2011. When I'm not chasing after wedding parties, my husband and I live to travel. We're avid scuba divers, love exploring, and get overly excited when we find a new brewery or speakeasy. We met at the University of Michigan and we stayed in Ann Arbor because it felt too much like home to leave.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've worked with Chelsea for close to a decade, and after our first couple of weddings together she has been a top recommendation for my couples and friends throughout that time, to the point that she was our own wedding photographer. Her warmth, listening, and creative instructions made it easy to take pictures throughout the day, and that same ability to communicate and be friendly makes her ideal to collaborate with as a vendor. It's hard to explain how much poise and adaptability is needed to be great at weddings, but Chelsea sets herself apart from just being a great photographer (which she is!) with these skills that make her great on a wedding day.

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 such an incredible photographer and person to work with for our wedding!! We are not too comfortable in front of the camera and she did such a fantastic job helping us and coaching us so our pictures were the best they could be. The day of the wedding she went above and beyond to make sure it was special and memorable and I cannot rave about her enough. We love Mary!!!

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since. Whether it's local events or adventures across the globe, I’m all about creating stunning, authentic images for my incredible clients. Let’s make magic together!

Kirsten Wray Photography was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Kirsten's communication style was direct, effective, and genuinely sweet - she immediately put us at ease as a couple who doesn't usually love being in front of the camera. Despite having a huge family that was challenging to wrangle, Kirsten was professional, prompt, and thorough in getting all the group shots we wanted. The finished photos are of excellent quality and editing, capturing all the special moments of our day in a way that exceeds our expectations. Kirsten went above and beyond to deliver amazing photos, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Kirsten Wray Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

I love getting to know people and their stories. My ultimate goal is to share your story in its real & raw form, reminding you how beautiful it is. Humanity is so diverse & everyone has something special to offer. It's my duty to share that with the world. The beauty is there, I just unveil it.

Collin was so great to work with. He was a great communicator, arrived on time the day of the wedding, and was a pleasure to be around. As a wedding coordinator, it is so great to work with people who have those qualities, and I am looking forward to working with Collin again in the future :)

HI! I'M HEATHER. WHAT'S UP? I'm a wedding photographer who's an empath - you know what that means? Not only do I have some social anxiety swirling around in here, I also can tell when you don't feel comfortable. AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?

Heather was my wedding photographer, and she did an exceptional job! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, my husband and I are overwhelmed at how much we love these pictures (and that is saying A LOT because we never like ourselves in pictures! Lol) Heather does an amazing job at keeping the energy going while also keeping the vibe lighthearted and chill. We felt comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera. She is there for whatever YOU want. She helped me immensely with the timeline of my wedding day, and even would hop on phone/video calls with me if I had any questions or concerns leading up to my wedding day. My husband and I wanted our dog to be included in both our engagement and wedding photos, and Heather did a great job capturing his personality and spirit. We will cherish these photos forever!
