Katie Arnold Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,800
  • Serves Elk Rapids, MI for additional fees

One of my favorite parts about this job is watching confidence grow right before the lens. When couples go from, “we’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward.” to “ no way! That’s us?” my heart could explode every time! Because what is on my camera is exactly what I see in you. It isn’t “you’re so talented!” or “that’s an amazing camera!” no, no. It’s simply you with the one you feel most comfortable with and who fills your heart and soul as no one or thing can. That my friend is genuine love in its most simplistic and powerful form. And it’s what I capture best. :)

After doing much research, I was blessed to stumble across Katie on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her work; her photos are rarely staged, all authentic, “in the moment” candid shots. On top of her amazing work she is the most kind hearted, down the earth person. Going to our engagement session, we didn’t know what to expect. We immediately felt comfortable with Katie and never felt awkward. We had to postpone due to COVID and Katie was so easy and accommodating! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, there truly isn’t a bad shot! I recommend Katie to every one and will continue to go to her in the future for any of my photography needs :)

Tiernae Salley Photography 
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Elk Rapids, MI for additional fees

Hi there! My name is Tiernae (pronounced Tea-Air-Nay). My favorite things are: My Family, Traveling, Fantastic Food, Petting all the animals, and making photographs that you can look at for years to come to remind us that these are the "good old days". My main goal when photographing your wedding is to document your day as it unfolds and to do whatever I can to help you enjoy your day to the fullest. I am all about those gorgeous posed portraits of you two, but I also believe that the photographs of your grandma hugging you after the ceremony and your best friend with you on the dance floor are just as important on your wedding day.

Mulberry & Sage Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Elk Rapids, MI

Your wedding is unique. You spend countless hours planning everything so it fits within your vision of your special day. You analyze different dress and tuxedo styles, and browse floral shops dreaming up your centerpieces and bouquets. Your wedding day should be special, and that’s what we want to capture. Mulberry & Sage is a unique professional wedding photographer team based out of Port Huron, Michigan. We have over 15 years of combined photography experience, and have teamed up to offer our couples an experience unlike any other.

Our venue provided us with a book of preferred wedding vendors to help with the planning process. With one look through the book, I instantly knew Mulberry and Sage was the only photographers I wanted and needed. Their aesthetic completely aligned with what I was looking for and was the only one in the book I liked. Thankfully they were available and we had a few wonderful meetings with Megan. She helped us create a timeline as we were clueless with where to start. The day of the wedding both Megan and Courtney arrived on time and got straight to work. Both of them were so sweet and friendly, we had a great time spending the day with them. They were so flexible when we got a bit off schedule and stayed later than we first planned. They were also so good to brave the cold with us as the day was quite chilly and the pictures and ceremony were outdoors. After our wedding they made a blog post with sneak peaks and we were in love! The final proofs were delivered to us less than a month after the wedding - so fast compared to most wedding photographers! The photographs are perfect, beautiful, and more than I ever dreamed of. If you want beautiful, candid, bright photos with earthy tones - these are your girls and they are delight to hang out with. You would be so lucky to get one of their limited wedding spots!

Classic meets contemporary and vibrant. Although I do all types of shoots, I specialize in wedding photography and all the beauty it has to offer. I prioritize in capturing the essential moments of your wedding to give you cherished memories to look back on for a lifetime.

When we had an unexpected change to our plans for our wedding just a couple weeks before our big day, I found Michaela and she was a saving grace! She was very professional, took in a few of the things that I really wanted to capture and took them to a new level, and ultimately photographed our wedding better than I could have imagined. She was extremely reasonable in price. I am definitely booking her again when we get pictures done.

Caleb and Brittany are such a pleasure to work with! My husband and I aren’t used to being in front of a camera, but they make it so effortless by telling us exactly what to do in order to get the perfect photo. They themselves are just such a fun and beautiful couple and made us feel so comfortable during the photo shoots. It really felt like you were just hanging out with friends and there just happened to be a camera there to capture all of the special moments! It’s amazing to see how these two can just look at their surroundings on the spot and immediately come up with a vision and instruct you on how to make that vision come to life. They compliment each other so well and really work as a team during these shoots. Caleb and Brittany made us feel so confident and were hyping us up the entire time - what more could you want from a photo shoot?! We were completely in awe when they sent us the final results from our shoot! Again, we aren’t the most comfortable in front of a camera, but these pictures made it look so natural, as if we pose candidly for a living! I would recommend Caleb and Brittany to anyone, and we can’t wait to shoot with them again in the future!

I am a fine art photographer living in the United States. I am currently based in Florida and have a studio in Tampa, FL. I was born in Cuba but moved to Orlando with my large family in '97.

Photography remains my #1 passion and I am looking forward to all adventures that come with it. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions

I was fortunate enough to have Isabel photograph our wedding, and work with her in prior years. Stellar Studios brings stunning visuals, unique creative direction, professionalism, and efficiency to every shoot. And Isabel is the kindest soul.
