My husband and I LOVED working with Ali for our wedding at the Picnic House in Prospect Park! She was responsive to all of our questions and quick to answer calls and emails. On the day, she put everyone at ease and corralled everyone to get through the family portraits quickly. She totally captured our vision for the day and we're so happy with how our photos came out!

Sokol & Co Photo was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day! From our very first interaction, Savannah was organized, considerate, and prompt in her communication, making the planning process much easier for us. I didn’t have a wedding coordinator, so having Savannah be as organized as she was was SO important. On the day of, she was fun and put us at ease in front of the camera (even my husband who isn’t crazy about photos). The quality of her work is incredible - Savannah has an amazing eye and is so creative! She captured all of our desired shots and so many unique, special moments that I wouldn’t have thought of. Sokol & Co Photo is worth every penny, and we are thrilled to have such perfect photos of our wedding day that we'll cherish forever!

Capturing Moments Photography LLC

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,350
  • Serves Elk Rapids, MI for additional fees

Greetings! I'm Jenna, the storyteller behind the lens. My photographic journey started in 2011, a tale woven with snapshots of friends' senior and family moments. However, it was in 2015, with a friend's wedding, that my passion ignited. The enchantment of documenting that love-filled day hooked me. While photography fulfills me, wedding photography is my heartbeat. I thrive on crafting and capturing the extraordinary moments that make your day unforgettable. Allow me to be a part of your journey, transforming cherished moments into timeless treasures. Let's create your visual love story together! 📸💕

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Jenna for our wedding 6/22/24 and from the moment we met her at our engagement shoot we loved her. We had never had professional photos taken before and we’re both camera shy, especially my husband, but Jenna got both of us to open right up and she got amazing shots at both the engagement shoot and our wedding! She is very quick with turnaround on sneak peeks and got all of our photos so far back to us sooner than she stated. She will literally be your best friend by the end of your wedding night. She’s so helpful and goes above and beyond what you would expect from a wedding photographer. My only qualm, and it truly isn’t that big a deal to me but I know some brides are picky, is that she wore pretty casual clothing on the day of the wedding. Not a big deal to me, but I also didn’t ask her to wear anything specific or even ask what she would be wearing for the event anyway. She’s so friendly though that I’m sure if you asked her to wear something specific (I.e. all black) she would. Definitely book her. She’s amazing.

Arrae Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Elk Rapids, MI for additional fees

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda and her partner did an AMAZING job capturing our August 2024 wedding. My husband and I were blown away when we saw our gallery. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Arrae Photography to any couple.

Sarah went above and beyond for our wedding photos and we couldn't be happier. She has an elite grasp of the tools as her disposal.

She's also a world class improviser who is capable of making adjustments on the fly and capturing spontaneous moments as they happen.

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.

Diana Marie Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. 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.

I found Leah on Facebook when she replied to a post I had made about searching for wedding photographer. She stuck out to me and I’m so glad we had her for our wedding. She was so friendly and made me feel so beautiful in the photos we took. We got our photos back super quick and they are stunning. She was very efficient, on time and made everyone feel very relaxed and comfortable when the nerves were high.

When I was a kid all I wanted to be was a photographer (or a vet) and in 2019 o my husband gave me that opportunity. I left my corporate job to pursue my passion. I started a pet sitting business AND a photography business at the same time and I think it's safe to say that right now I am living the dream. I have three beautiful cats and a wonderful husband who supports me in whatever I do.

Aurora flew all the way from Nashville to Boston to photograph my wedding. She made sure to capture everything I asked for and paid attention to what I had wanted. The best part was receiving back the photos and gettin to relive the day all over again. Aurora really captured the emotion of the day and I am forever grateful to her.

  • Serves Elk Rapids, MI for additional fees

Hey there! My name is Emilee, and I am a Minnesota-native living in NYC! I've been photographing people and events for 15 years. I shoot families, couples, individuals, and pets, but my passion lies in wedding photography. I love capturing the whirlwind of a couples' big day, and seeing the love that is shared between them and all their wedding guests. It's magical and wonderful every. single. time. My current markets are Minnesota and New York, but I'm available to travel anywhere in the US and the world for additional fees!

Awarded Best of Zola
What a dream Emilee was to work with, from start to finish. OUR CEREMONY PARTY: we decided on a private, courthouse elopement on a Wednesday, a 60 person reception party on a Friday. In both, our biggest priority was having a photographer capture the intimate, joyful small details. We went with Emilee because of her eye for the beauty in the small things. She captured both our days perfectly. DOCUMENTARY STYLE: Emilee was perfect behind the scenes, capturing beautiful moments of our friends and family, small details of the courthouse with just us. I look back at some of these photos and ask "how did she even get that?!" She has such an eye. POSED: We had about 20 minutes dedicated to posed, family photos during our reception. Emilee had our families relaxed and laughing, quickly swapping members in and out. In some newlywed photos, we sought her advice for how to pose. She gave quick direction, made us feel confident, and always found the perfect light. COMMUNICATION SPEED: Delivered on every promise, quick replies. Emilee was 15 minutes early to both locations, we never had to worry. PERSONALLY: We met with Emilee about 4 months before our big days. We had coffee, talked about our vision and our biggest priorities. She immediately felt like a friend, and knew she was firmly on our team. If you're looking for a photographer to capture not only beautiful photos of yourself, but more importantly, the feeling in every room, Emilee is the photographer for you. We recommend wholeheartedly, and can't wait for another occasion to work with her. Sincerely, Mara James
