I am a full-time mama and professional wedding/lifestyle photographer serving northern Michigan and wherever your vision takes us. From a young age, I have always been told I have a “photographer’s eye,” so I thought I’d give it a “shot!” There’s nothing I love more than freezing a moment in time for a client to keep and cherish forever. So here you are, I am so happy you found me!! Check out my page to make sure I’m what you’re looking for. I know I am;)

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Erin for our engagement photos and WOW. She was super friendly and bubbly right from the start. She instantly felt like a good friend. If you feel awkward/stiff and are not really sure what to do in photos she is definitely the photographer for you. We felt like models by the end. Erin has a really good eye not only for lighting and scenery, but also for the perfect poses. She will make you feel so comfortable and give you lots of tips and tricks to get the perfect shot. We were a little awkward and nervous at first, but it didn’t take long for her to get us to just relax and laugh and have fun with it. I couldn’t recommend her enough and I can’t wait for her to photograph our wedding!

Chelsea Erwin Photography

  • Serves Elk Rapids, MI

Based in Traverse city Michigan but available anywhere!! Looking for couples who think outside the box for their wedding and just want to have fun and enjoy their friends and family. OF COURSE also get some epic photos along the way.

Chelsea is really the best! My planner recommended Chelsea and I am SO grateful that she did. Chelsea agreed to be our wedding photographer on short notice and was so accommodating. She took the time to speak with me over the phone in order to get an idea of us as a couple, the wedding and our vision. She also reached out before the wedding to see if I had any questions and reminded me of the family photo list. The day of the wedding she arrived early to scope everything out so when it came time to take pictures she knew exactly where they would be taken. She was fun and calming and really made taking photos feel natural. We had unexpected things happen that day and Chelsea went with it and took all the photos we asked her to take. Chelsea truly captured such an intimate and special day for us. She sent us the "sneak peak" photos two days after the wedding and we are obsessed! So many great emotions captured! I cannot say enough nice things about Chelsea and can only promise you that you will love her!

Captured Couture, LLC

  • Serves Elk Rapids, MI

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

My (now) husband and I chose to hire Jennifer from Captured Couture as our photographer for our wedding. We were both blown away by her images posted on her website and Instagram page and after having a phone interview we were convinced she was the one for us. Jennifer was communicative and so easy to work with. We were able to get a free engagement session with the purchase of our package which was awesome because we were able to meet her in person before our actual wedding. The day of the wedding there were a few minor hiccups as our wedding was the same day as the Detroit Pride fest, and we weren’t sure some of our desired locations would be accessible. Without a moment of hesitation Jennifer, who knows the city of Detroit incredibly well, was able to secure a location for our first look and our wedding party photos which turned out to be perfect. Jennifer and her assistant LeAnn captured every part of our wedding with some much care and attention to detail. Our photos are spectacular and we are so thankful for our photography team. Both my husband and I would definitely recommend Captured Couture to anyone looking for wedding photography.

Love Knot Photography

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Elk Rapids, MI

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Hi friends! I'm Chel, a 30 year old mama + wife to the sweetest boys. Loved ones would describe me as warm, bubbly, quirky, and down to earth. I started my photography journey at the end of 2014, and am entirely self-taught. I was born and raised in Traverse City, but moved down to Clio, Michigan 2 years ago! However, I continue to serve all of Michigan, TN, as well as locations around the US and worldwide. I am a coffee obsessive (think Lorelai from Gilmore Girls) with a joy for nature + traveling. I love reading, all genres of music (sucker for Luke Combs, Elvis, Benson Boone), true crime, cringe reality TV + psychological thrillers!

Chel was the PERFECT photographer to capture our wedding day! She was attentive, thorough, and FUN! Both my husband and I can be pretty camera shy, but Cheleana made us feel confident and comfortable. She set a clear calendar for us to follow and made every interaction feel special. She takes the time to get to know you and you know that you are important to her. She took all of our requests and gave us literally the perfect photos for our special day. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

They got creative with unique shots while also following our lead and going with the flow. Even without the typical shot list or knowledge of our wedding party (our fault entirely), they seamlessly pulled off the photography and didn't miss a beat.

At Faith Rowley Photos, we create art that captures the raw beauty of life’s fleeting moments. Through the interplay of emotion, light, and connection, we reveal the essence of your celebration—unscripted, authentic, and profoundly real. Our work is not about posed perfection, but about preserving the soul of your story, crafting timeless images that allow you to relive the magic of your day for years to come.

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

Hello! We are a husband and wife company. We have covered over 1000 weddings in less than 5 years all across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. We love to travel so much that we keep our prices affordable- giving us the opportunity to cover all over the USA (no travel fees). Our most popular package is our Red Carpet which gives our clients up to 10 hours of photo and video coverage, 505+ edits, and 2 wedding videos (with the whole ceremony). Check out our FB or Youtube for HUNDREDS of weddings we shot in the past.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it! I would recommend 505 media to anyone!!

I'm Catie- a Port Huron, Michigan based wedding and couples photographer. Weddings are such a precious time, and you're probably feeling all the feels. You are feeling oh so in love and excited to marry your person. You may even feel overwhelmed with the planning part. I'm here to capture your day as it unfolds for you to remember for a lifetime.

Where do I begin! Catie is phenomenal, plain and simple. From the first day we met, it felt as if I was speaking with my best friend (professionally of course). Over the months leading up to our wedding day, she was a shoulder to lean on when I was feeling overwhelmed, she offered ideas according to what I wanted and helped keep me on track. She even helped me with making my bridal bouquet! Our wedding day was chaotic but Catie was my sounding board when it came to keeping us on schedule and my family/friends loved her! Now onto her pictures, I love her style (light and airy) not overly color saturated and natural! Oh and she also does boudoir complete with a leather bound book! I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. So if you're on the fence, just do it because you'll be glad you did!

Celebrating love is the best high for me, and getting to do this job where I not only see love, but see the connection, those free-spirit giggling moments, and those ugly real moments… that is what truly keeps my world spinning. My art is all about honey-kissed warmth and sweet fire-burnin’ connections. It’s about capturing and sharing those intimate moments that feel like movie moments, real love in raw form.

We just did an engagement shoot with Caroline and we love our photos!!! They are so amazing, I added one of my faves. It’s so clear in our results how amazing and creative she is at her job. It’s funny bc in the moment it can feel so awkward and unflattering and then I see the results and i’m amazed at how great they are and how beautiful I feel in each one. Caroline has been nothing short of fantastic to work with she makes it so easy. I am certain she was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer and I am beyond excited!

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.

I would give her more stars if it was possible! Lindsay was absolutely AMAZING and a key part of our wedding. Getting married in the middle of covid was not easy, as we planned and replanned our wedding Lindsay took in all the changes and created a timeline that allowed us to take all the pictures we wanted and get back with plenty of time for the ceremony. She clearly knows what she is doing and gave us more beautiful photos than we could have thought of. Even from the beginning she made sure she knew us before we met and took time to ask the right questions to capture everything we didn't even know we wanted. On the day, she was always there to help hold my dress, fix my hair, and talk with my husband and I when we needed a break from the night. We can easily say that we felt like good friends at the end of the day. Her faith is inspiring and she shows great passion for her work. I have already recommended her to friends who are getting married and trust me when I say you always say yes when she asks you to take sunset photos.

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.

With the day just being insane. There were so many times Kay checked in on me which made me to make sure I was okay, really made me take a breath throughout the day and made me feel special. We did our engagement pictures at a brewery and she was super creative with the pictures. For our wedding day I sent her my Pinterest board and she went for all the pictures I wanted. I’m so excited to see what they all look like. Even her second shooter seemed like she was everywhere. Start to finish the whole process was so easy to work with Kay. With so many vendors having one you vibe with is important and it was all there. 10/10 recommend her, & the team she has.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

I'm an editorial style wedding and portrait photographer based in East Lansing, Michigan. I photograph real people with real emotions—smiles, laughter and sentimental moments. I promise that you’re going to laugh in your photos rather than laughing at how awkward you were in your photos in years to come (unless your bangs look like mine did in junior high, in which case, I take back my promise).

Allie's photography and editing skills are second to none. She takes true to color photos, does not distort a gorgeous event with editing, and is so knowledgable about prompts to create the most natural looking photos. She doesn't do "posing" but encourages couples and clients to behave naturally and shoots them with the utmost professionalism and care. She is fun and easy to be around for an entire day and her communication is amazing. I would trust Allie with every professional photograph I need taken for the rest of time.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

From the very beginning, Diana's communication style was open, professional, and timely - she was always checking in to make sure our day was going as we had imagined. The quality of her work is truly exceptional, with a clean, timeless, and emotional style that captured all the special moments beautifully. Diana knows the importance behind wedding photos - they aren't just a social media dump, but rather the memories we'll cherish for years to come. She reminded us to take in the little things, and that thoughtfulness really shines through in the final product. We couldn't recommend Diana Marie Photography enough for any couple looking for a talented, dedicated photographer to document their big day.

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

Hi – I’m Lauren Bolan, Owner, Photographer & Graphic Designer of Magnolia Pine. I currently reside in Cleveland, Ohio, the land that I love! I absolutely enjoy capturing & creating timeless pieces for my clients and their special day! There is just something magical about weddings & special events! I’m super detail oriented and I’m very particular, so you can be assured that I will take good care of your products and put so much love into them!

I originally was not going to go the photographer route but when I changed my mind a week and a half out, Magnolia Pine was there for us. I am incredibly grateful and impressed by the level of effort Lauren put in with such little time to go. The day of the wedding she went out of her way to buy props that she thought fit our aesthetic and she exceeded anything I could have come up with on my own. She truly made us feel like the day was ours and that we were the guests of honor at our wedding and I can’t say enough great things. The pictures came back in less than 2 months which was the perfect time to go through and relieve the moments. We even received preview pictures early on to hold us over. If you want someone that will be able to fit the vibe you are looking for even with other pressures from guests, Lauren is your girl!

Svat is a professional and an artist! We had a few hours set aside for photos before the ceremony and I honestly feel like we could have just taken pictures with Svat all day. He gives enough direction without it feeling like he's just shouting at you; the photos we've received so far are edited SO beautifully; and he worked with us to curate a mix of posed and candid shots to perfectly capture our big day! I feel like we got so lucky booking Svat and would definitely work with him again, given the opportunity!

Hi! Congratulations on your engagement! I'm Arielle and I want to photograph your wedding! I'm a fun loving lady that's totally in love with love. I have like 20 years of experience with a camera in my hand, and 7 years since I started shooting weddings full time. Rain or shine we're going to have the best day ever if you choose me to shoot your wedding. I grew up in Vermont and after traveling around and living in several different states I made my way back to Vermont where I posted up and started this wild photo business and I've never been happier to share my talent with you! I can't wait to meet you!

Arielle not only covered the basics of being in time, prepared, getting the photos and delivery of timely photos, she went above and beyond making us feel comfortable and having a BLAST! My family is not one to take pictures of easily and she made everyone feel at ease and enjoyed getting their photo taken. We hired Arielle in Spring 2021 for our backyard elopement and knew we had to hire her for our big friends and family wedding. Can’t wait to find an excuse to hire her again :)

So, I'm focused on your desires and interests.

Nicole is wonderful! My fiancé and I felt so relaxed taking our engagement photos; we had a blast and Nicole was so accommodating and helpful with my fiancé's broken foot- she managed to take some phenomenal pictures! We can't wait to have her photograph our wedding next year.

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

Ashley Guice Creative is a Phoenix-based luxury wedding photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of human connection. Since 2017, Ashley Guice has been creating stunning images that blend artistic flair with genuine emotion. With over seven years of experience in photography and a decade-long background in the arts, she brings a unique perspective to every event she covers.

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Ashley! From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her attention to detail and creativity truly brought our vision to life, capturing every moment beautifully. We had an unfortunate cancellation of our original venue, and with our new venue having a completely different look, Ashley was a great thought partner in scouting locations and helping us achieve the look and feel in our photos that we were going for. Despite the challenges of a venue change and the usual wedding planning craziness, Ashley remained positive, resourceful, and was also just down right fun to work with! Ashley is a true artist, dedicated to the artful execution of every detail. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or ordinary—she took the time to understand our vision and how we wanted to remember the day and then actualized it through her artistic lens. I wanted something artful, chic, and elevated but also real, candid, and documentary-style—and Ashley delivered exactly that. She was also fantastic at understanding how we wanted to be photographed throughout the day. More than anything, she made sure our enjoyment of the day was a priority over just "getting the perfect shot," which was crucial for us. We were able to enjoy every moment, and the photos capture that perfectly. Her team was amazing, too! We got to work with two of her assistant photographers, and they were just as supportive and friendly as Ashley. We would recommend AGC to any couple looking for a photography team who is dedicated to capturing the essence of your wedding in a way that feels unique, personal, and meaningful. - L & L

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Heather and her team are absolutely FANTASTIC! We hired her for our engagement photos and wedding and we are so happy! She is so organized, excellent at keeping everyone moving, and her photography and editing is incredible. She creates shots that I never could have imagined and directs tiny details while also allowing for candid moments. She was with us all day for our wedding and always was ready to capture us or people around us. When she walks into a room you can see her mind working to scope out the perfect spot and it is so incredible to watch. She is truly an artist and made us feel so special and comfortable on our wedding day and engagement photoshoot. We felt like we were in a magazine the way she edits the photos and captures everything. Highly recommend and will book her again for all of our big moments!

I’m a high school English teacher, so all of that time I spend wrangling teenagers and getting them to do work helps me out when I’m directing your wedding party for photos. I love being a teacher, and I love the flexibility it gives me to pursue another passion of mine: photography.

Jason made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement photos, and on our wedding day. His personality allowed us to feel calm all day. He's second shooter, Jeremy, was just as outstanding. Jason's work is full of emotion, love, and talent. Choosing a photographer is very personal, and looking for the style you like can be challenging. Jason listened to what my dream was and was able to deliver just that. Jason's client portal is so easy to use, and allowed us to organize timeline, shot lists, etc. Jason sent us a substantial amount of "sneek peek" pictures the next day!!! Jason was able to customize a package that matched our exact needs & budget. If you are looking for a photographer to capture the quiet moments, Jason is 100% for you. I WILL be recommending Jason & his crew to all of my friends and family. Jason also does mini-photo shoots, family photos, etc.
