loved that smaller packages for photography and videography were available! Easy communication, great value, excellent photos. Jeron took the care and consideration to film our entire ceremony so that family members that couldn't come could see it. Jeron also was flexible, even moving our family photos to a shadier spot because it was a sunny day, and then editing out the laundry line that was in the background in the shadier spot. Thank you!

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end. When you book with AGS, you're signing on for an adventure. Your engagement session is a celebration full of us getting to know one another, lots of laughter, and having fun! As your wedding nears closer AGS will help with your timeline, connect with your vendors ( or introduce you to some of the best) and help plan out the perfect photo locations, along with any other needs to create the perfect day.

Arleigh and her team are beyond amazing! It’s as if your best friend is behind the camera and helping you every moment. Arleigh and Jordan went so far and above what I could have ever imagined. They jumped in with whatever last minute things needed assistance and made my family feel so at ease. Their love for what they do and ease with everyone comes through without a doubt. I didn’t expect to find such an amazing person to capture all the little moments in our lives, but I not only found that, but someone I plan to keep as friend as well!

I’m addicted to capturing who you are and your tale as it unfolds (the photojournalistic approach gives me life). I can occasionally be found sipping on bubble tea while indulging in Doctor Who, Sherlock, or Merlin marathons. Being diagnosed with Lupus at 16, I had to give up my ultimate goal of being a pilot in the Air Force. After my first year of Law School, I felt a bit empty and sat down to take a serious look at my life. I never saw it as a career path and pretty much wrote it off until 2016. I'm extremely blessed to be able to work with so many amazing people. Full: www.chettaratphotography.com/about

Her manner will put you so at ease while she’s working with you and will capture the effortless real moments that all add up to the most special day of your life. She was the first vendor we booked based off her portfolio and thorough investment personally and professionally alone and we are still so beyond thrilled to have made her our priority. She cares and she’s a true creative - can’t wait to have an excuse to work with her again ️

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

I was looking for suggestions for photographers on facebook when I found these two lovely ladies. They were a lot of fun and easy to work with, plus they had reasonable and competitive prices. first I had them for my engagement photos. they really listened to what I wanted and even brought some of their own props. since both my then fiancé and I had never had photos like this done before, we were nervous and felt awkward, but once we got going they helped to make us feel comfortable and by the end of it we felt like besties! We had a a change of plans and ended up deciding to get married just a few months after that. The problem was that we planned our entire wedding in less than 10 days. it was super chaotic and fun, but I was so worried tat when I called them they would not be able to be our wedding photographers since it was so last minute…. BUT THEY MADE! IT! WORK! I wouldn’t have had it any other way and I 10000% recommend these ladies to everyone I know. couldn’t be happier!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Jarrod did an amazing job on our wedding day! We were so very grateful to have him there with us.

Hi, I'm Avery! I am West Michigan born and raised, with a bit of a roaming side. You can find me traveling the great outdoors, reading a good book or sunset watching at the lake. I thrive on God’s great love and creation. Farming runs deep through my family roots, so I guess you could call me a farm girl. I’m a homebody at heart, with a passion to adventure. I fell in love with photography when I picked up my mom’s old camera in middle school. I'd capture everything from blades of grass to the cattle on my farm. 5 years later, using my cattle as models has turned into photographing weddings and capturing everything from portraits to families.

Hi!! I'm Jen, the heart and soul behind Jen Marie Imagery! I'm passionate about creating unforgettable memories through my lens. Beyond being a dedicated photographer, I'm a coffee lover, taco enthusiast, concert junkie, Netflix aficionado, and proud pet parent. My journey with photography started as a childhood passion, using up all my mom's film on disposable cameras. What began as a hobby transformed into my life's calling in 2016 when I booked my first wedding. From that moment, I knew I had found my true purpose. There’s nothing I love more than photographing love!

I had the pleasure of working with Jen for a wedding back in November of 2023. She was great! From the get go, she was nice, and easy to work with. Very patient and communicative. She payed attention to every little detail, and those are what matters the most. Weeks later, I saw her pictures from that wedding, they were stunning! Very unique poses and ideas that she captured. I can not wait to work with her again. If you’re looking for your wedding photographer, don’t hesitate to reach out to her!

On a personal note, I have a loving wife, 3 kids and 2 dogs!

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!

Working with Madalyn is dream a come true! I will say that a hundred times over. Throughout our wedding planning process, especially in this time of change and uncertainty, we couldn’t help but to compare all our other vendors to Madalyn and the way she runs her business. No one else even measured close! Madalyn is organized, proactive, supportive, honest, and obviously has an eye for both detail and aesthetic. Our communications with Madalyn leading up to our day were a perfect balance of face-to-face conversations and seamless digital interactions. When our wedding day finally arrived we felt like we really knew her and completely trusted her. I thought we couldn’t love Madalyn anymore, but then we received the final product -our gallery. Madalyn captured a thousand memories so perfectly that we’ll truly treasure forever. A particular photo is so classically beautiful that we exclaimed, “That’s it! That’s the photo we’ll show our grandchildren someday.” Thank you again, Madalyn!

Hi, I'm Shonda! I am a wedding photographer based in Northern Michigan. I am all about capturing the real emotions and connections of your wedding day. With a focus on small intimate weddings and elopements, my documentary photography style is genuine and authentic, conveying the equality and love between you and your partner. I strive to create images that convey your unique story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shonda is absolutely unparalleled in the industry. Neither my husband nor I are typically comfortable in front of the camera, but Shonda did an incredible job putting us at ease through her approach of encouraging connection and focus on each other, rather than being rigidly posed. She captured our love in an authentic way that felt intimate and unique, which is essential for what I'd say is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day. She was organized, thoughtful, and thorough at every point in the process, and can make a wedding at any venue feel special and snazzy. We HIGHLY recommend her to any future couples!

Hello, my name is Liv and I'm an Adventure Elopement + Destination Wedding photographer based in Colorado. I'm down for just about anything rock climbing, snowboard/skiing, hot air balloon, helicopters, ATV and sand dune riding. If you are up for a unique experience, I am here to capture it! If you want to keep it simple overlooking the mountains I am there! I'm here to tell your story no matter how minimal or adventurous it may be. Best yet, I travel to you! Traveling to new destinations with couples to their desired location is a part of what I do + love to do!

As a provider of entertainment for large events, you work with many different planners, photographers, bands, florists, etc. The quality of the event depends on the quality of the people you hire. Photographs are one thing, but what people don't see is how a photographer can set a tone or a level of comfort that carries through the event team and event. Working with Olivia on multiple jobs were some of my favorite experiences because not only were the photos exceptional, the way she guided and calmed the guests and team makes for an enjoyable experience all around. I would recommend Olivia for any event and have used Olivia as my personal photographer!

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!

Im passionate about documenting your big day in a way you can be brought back to the moment and feel the excitement and passion every time you look at your wedding album. Photographing your wedding is as important to me as it is to you, and it not a job I take lightly! Every couple has a different list of important items to be captured, and my goal is to serve you and your partner in the best way possible, capturing the shots most important to you, plus the little in-between moments you didn’t even know that happened.

My wife and i are very happy and thankful we found Sammy. We had a last minute emergency wedding due to my wife’s father being diagnosed with a terminal illness and not much time to live. Wanted to get professional pictures taken so to have quality pictures to look back on a few beautiful moment during a tragic time with my wife’s father. Contacted Sammy with only a few days notice. Sammy responded very quickly and thankfully was available. My wife and i were only mainly focused on getting shots of the ceremony itself and yet Sammy pulled off sooooo much more. The day of our wedding it was raining till ~1pm and the wedding was in my parent’s in law’s back yard scheduled at 4pm. Needless to say we were all literally working setting up decorations and rapidly getting ready till minutes before the ceremony. Somehow Sammy took a magnitude of stellar pictures of us all while we were setting up and getting ready, so much so that the number of pictures make our wedding look like a lengthy wedding day portfolio! Every single one of the pictures taken from our wedding are beautifully and consistently edited, and most importantly captured the crucial moment we were hoping for. My wife and I are still blown away by Sammy’s work and without a doubt highly recommend Sammy to anyone needing a professional photographer.

My name is Alicia, and I'm a designer/photographer living in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am so thankful that I am able to capture the love stories of real people and provide them with honest, unposed images that they will cherish for the rest of their lives. Thank you for stopping by. I would love to work with you. Let's chase some light together.

We will treasure Alicia’s photos FOREVER. She was so amazing to have around on our big day and made us feel totally comfortable and at ease. We originally didn’t want to spend a lot of time on photos (we’d rather be hanging out with our family and friends!) but Alicia made taking photos so fun that we wanted to keep taking photos! We will really treasure these forever :)

We've photographed love stories from Mexico to the Rocky Mountains and beyond. We've also been ranked among the world's best wedding photographers, but what matters most to us is what our couples think. Our goal is to blow your mind with photos that make your mother-in-law cry and your best friends say "holy shit!" If you want wedding photos that aren't just wedding photos, you're in the right place.

Holy sh**. Excuse my language, but It is needed to make sure that those of you reading this understand how sincerly amazing Jay and Larissa are. We have used them to photograph us personally as a couple and have used them for a wedding of family friends; and newborn pictures of my Niece, Harper. Each and every experience and photo shoot and email and text and phone call with them has been perfectly professional, fun, and reasonable. The prices are great, the people are great- and the photos are freakin perfect. Unique and fun and different- but also traditional for those seeking that. Jay and Larrisa are an amazing couple and they take seriously great photos. We will be using them for the next niece who is soon to arrive, and for engagement and wedding photos in the upcoming years. PLEASE give them a call today- they are the best!!!!!

Christopher Deau Photography is a wedding and event photography company based in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

He services the state of Michigan with quality wedding photography services, and considers it a joy and honor to be able to preserve the special moments of your wedding day for you to treasure forever.

I cannot speak more highly of Chris. His photos are absolutely STUNNING! We did our engagement session with him in Saugatuck, MI and our wedding was at Twin Gables in Sturgis, MI. He got our engagement session back to us SO fast and we received our sneak peak wedding photos only 1 or 2 days after the wedding- I cannot wait to see the rest of them. We also had a 2nd shooter with him named Eric and he was great as well! Eric shot more photos of the groom and groomsmen and they all really liked him and his humor. You will NOT regret hiring Chris as your photographer.

update 3/2023- i am no longer active on responses through Zola and ask you to connect with me through my website only to check on availability. Thank you so much! On the day of your wedding, you will see me laughing, crying during the first look and dances, and enjoying the day with you so I blend in better to capture those true raw moments. I keep us on schedule, whether it's photography related or not, to make sure everything is running smoothly on your day.

I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason, and finding Jacquelyn has proven this! Before talking to her, we fell in love with her creative art style and knew I had to reach out! Jacquelyn made us feel so comfortable, and understood exactly what we wanted from day one. Very professional, helpful, open minded and always quick to respond with any questions or concerns. I can honestly say that our wedding day would not have been the same without her, and for that we are forever grateful!
