Cheleanamarie Photography

Clio, MI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Empire, MI

Hi friends! I'm Chel, a 29 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, 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!

Cheleana has been able to capture some of the most important experiences in my life, in the most perfect way. Memories that because of her I’ll have forever and I am forever grateful for that! She has the best personality which makes shooting with her not only fun but sooo comfortable and natural. Especially being someone who is uncomfortable in front of the camera! I like to tell her that her photos remind me of a movie. They truly tell a story all together but are gorgeous even if you only see one! I highly recommend her!

I can't express how thrilled we are with the incredible work of March81 Photography, especially with Michael and Jennifer capturing our wedding day. Their talent and professionalism shone through, and the photos they delivered were absolutely breathtaking. We couldn't have asked for a better team to capture our special moments. Having both Michael and Jennifer was a brilliant decision, as it allowed them to be in multiple places at once, ensuring no precious moment was missed. Thank you, March81 Photography, for making our day unforgettable!

Hi! I'm Crystal VanAntwerpen. I am based out of Muskegon, Michigan, and I do portrait sessions and weddings around West Central Michigan. I started photographing portraits and weddings in 2012 and currently photograph a wedding almost every weekend during the summer and fall months.

Harrison, MI

  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Empire, MI

Hello, hello! My name is Taylor Zinn! I am based out of Harrison, MI. A small town right in the middle of the mitten. ​ Besides photography my favorite roles are being married to my best friend of 11 years and raising our two kiddos, 2 y/o & 9 y/o. I live for warm ocean views and pretending I have free time to read books. I'll have a full collection ready for the day I finally retire! Coffee is the real m.v.p and The Office reruns will always be on in the background (after Bluey has ended of course!).

Taylor is hands down the best photographer I have ever worked with! If you want to feel comfortable, someone to listen to your wants and needs, someone who travels wherever, makes things fun you absolutely need to book her! She has done not only all our family photos but all our engagement photos and even tried to fly her out to our destination wedding but I booked to late and missed out. (One thing from my wedding I truly regret) Not only does she work well with you but her work speaks for itself. Do not miss out on booking her you will absolutely regret it!

My name is Lisa McCoy (as you can guess)! My husband Aj and I live in Alanson of Northern Michigan. We enjoy camping and road trips. We make sure to find all the hidden gems Michigan has to offer on the way. During Michigan summers we love being on, or in, the water. Kayaking is a personal favorite of ours. Although, I think my happiest place is walking alongside the ocean — I can’t describe how it makes my heart feel to be there! Aj and I enjoy trying new craft beers from all around the state. I always have a bottle of champagne in the fridge while Aj is always trying different kinds of scotch. Hence the names of our wedding packages.

I worked with Lisa on two different weddings, one was my daughter's. She was spectacular. Very professional and the pictures she got pictures that we absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend her

Harbor Springs, MI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500

Every individual has a unique tale, and mine is quite the whirlwind! When I was 5, my family left our Michigan home and has been on the move ever since. After living across the globe, I now proudly call Salt Lake City, UT my home sweet home with my wonderful husband, our sweet daughter, and our White German Shepherd! My journey toward becoming a wedding photographer is fueled by my romantic spirit, hope for deep connections, and wandering the world in pursuit of love. The idea of spreading love near and far, and passing on that love through generations puts a smile on my face every day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I hired Lauren as my wedding photographer for my wedding in June of 2024 and truly can't find the words to accurately describe how incredible she was. Capturing the memories of our day was such an important piece of our wedding and we really did not take our photographer selection lightly. My husband and I are also not the most comfortable people around a camera, so I wanted to find someone who was not only a talented and creative photographer, but also someone who would make us feel comfortable. Lauren went above and beyond at doing that. She captured the big moments beautifully, but also captured the small intimate moments. I was amazed looking back at some of the photos, because I hadn't even realized she was there taking them. She was mindful of all the shots we requested, but also came to us with poses and ideas that ended up being some of our favorite photos from the wedding. She was so communicative with planning and I always felt like we were in good hands, not to mention she sent us sneak peek photos before I had even washed my wedding makeup off that night! Her energy was infectious and she melted into our day so effortlessly. I am so beyond happy we chose Lauren and will recommend her to everyone looking for a photographer to capture their most special moments!

Traverse City, MI
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,300

I'm a Michigan Native and moved north 6 years ago - best decision I've ever made. I prefer whiskey and lakeside campfires, but I also love a night out on the town. I'm a mom, major cat lady, and I'm currently loving Seinfield reruns. I'm a teacher by degree, and have worked in the event industry for years. I'm a big true crime junkie - podcasts, books, shows - all of it, but I cannot for the life of me watch a scary movie. I believe the best moments happen in the in-between, and these in-betweens tell our story. I love stopping time in these moments, just for a minute, so you can tell your story for years to come.

Rayan Anastor Photography

Traverse City, MI
  • Photojournalistic style

You can usually find me out on our boat with my husband and three children exploring the Great Lakes. When I am not exploring Michigan, I am definitely traveling to explore other areas around the world. I love photographing the fleeting moments with my children as they experience life is something: A smile, a tear, the belly laugh, concentration and everything in between. This fascination is what carries over to my photography. The connection between two people who intend to spend the rest of their lives together is magical. It is expressive and full of fleeting moments that one may forget unless it is captured in a photograph.

As a videographer, I value communication and collaboration above all else when working with a photographer. Rayan has that in spades. Plus, her work is absolutely stunning. She is truly a unicorn in a field of wild horses.

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.

I cannot recommend Chelsea enough. We used her as our engagement and wedding photographer and I can barely put into words how much we fell in love! She is so crazy talented and artistic and she truly captured our personalities and love as a couple. Being two very camera shy and goofy individuals, Chelsea made us feel so comfortable and at peace. We laughed, we cried, we had a blast. I would highly recommend doing an adventure session before your wedding! I can stress this enough. It prepares you so much for your big day. Chelsea was also great with recommending and helping with other vendors she felt would mesh well with our style. So blessed to have her now as a friend. Can’t wait for babies and family photos!!

My photography is bright, colorful and true-to-life. I love to find the balance between the posed, elegant portraits and the candid, joyful photos of you and your partner, surrounded by your favorite people coming together to celebrate your love. I want your photos to capture authentic emotion and meaningful moments, and for the images to be timeless heirlooms that you’ll look back at fondly for years to come. I focus on the meaningful connection of the moment rather than perfect posing. Your wedding is a day full of emotion, and I want your photos to highlight those feelings.

We love working with Kristin! She is always very professional, kind and an amazing photographer!

My name is Charity Sizemore, I am soon to be Charity Miltenberger. I am a mom of one beautiful little girl. Photography has been my true passion since 2012, but I really started to expand my knowledge in 2016. My dream is to capture as many love stories as possible. I am an avid reader, with the majority of those books being romance novels, and I love getting out with my family. I have lived in Northern Michigan my entire life, and I wouldn't live anywhere else.

I cannot recommend Rustling Leaf enough! Simple spectacular!!! She went above and beyond and took care of everything, captured everything I wanted and moved seamlessly in the background. We had tons of last minute oopsies with hair and setup and even though I was busy with that, she made sure EVERYTHING was taken care of! I could not be more thrilled with our photos and our day, not to mention she got our photos back so quickly! Highly recommend!

Charlevoix, MI

People often bring me around to document the good times. Whether it be a wedding, a family gathering, a milestone, or any of the other exciting landmarks we experience in life. I couldn’t be more grateful for this. My goal in my work is to capture your story in a true and honest way. This means becoming part of your event and documenting the story from the inside out. I believe the best images come from real, authentic, unaltered moments. These moments aren’t staged or set up… they are captured.

I work with Michael often. I have worked with him as a wedding vendor and I have hired him to shoot my family photos numerous times. He's always a joy to be around and his work is beautiful. He knows how to get a smile out of you and make you feel comfortable when working with him.

Hi! My name is Seana Hope. Yes, Seana Hope are both my first names so you can call me whatever is easier for you. Everybody is asking, why photography? I grew up spending my lunch breaks in the library, scanning books and learning about new things by looking at the pictures in between the pages. I guess I was just always introverted (don't worry, I can be goofy too) so I really loved my alone time. As I got older, I have become so adventurous, scratching places out of my bucket list one by one. With every journey I take, I enjoy sharing them through my photos.

All I can say is Connie is hands down so much more than a photographer. She was so patient, kind, and positive when we had our elopement. We got down pour rain and she was quick to have plans to take us to get beautiful pictures. She was so thoughtful with doing things she didn’t have to do, like helping hold my wet dress, and so much more. Connie is extremely calming presence in a stressful and hectic day. We absolutely loved our pictures and all the special moments she captured without us realizing and was truly so special working with her!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Abbey was just the perfect addition to our wedding day! When we had to completely redo our wedding due to COVID in 2020 there was one constant vendor / person who was there through it all, Abbey!! She was the constant light reminding us that we would get married and she would be there no matter the circumstances. From the pre-planning to the big day she was very detailed and learned our big family to ensure our day and pictures were just as perfect as the wedding day! She was dedicated to making the best and most amazing memories and capturing our beautiful day just as we envisioned. Our very large album of pictures were delivered back to us quickly and without delay too! I would HIGHLY recommend Abbey to anyone who needs a dedicated, sweet, and professional photographer for their wedding or any other photography needs!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

From the very beginning of planning my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, working with Grace was an absolute pleasure. She was not only receptive to my ideas but also shared her own equally creative suggestions. Grace's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. What truly made the experience special was how she made the entire photoshoot feel like a fun activity for us as a couple. Her creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses that felt incredibly natural. Grace's ability to put us at ease made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One more remarkable detail was her dedication to research, ensuring we had perfect sunrise photos. It was evident that she went the extra mile to time everything perfectly. What stood out the most, though, was her unique talent for capturing the emotion and joy of the moment. I can't thank her enough for creating such a magical and unforgettable memory for us!

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.

Jessica Max captured our wedding day in the most spectacular fashion, we could tell she had recorded the most candid and genuine experiences of the day. This is what makes her work so unique from other artists. She is casual, comfortable, and very cool to work with. We are quite casual ourselves, and were able to trust her to do her job and our results were breathtaking. Her product has the quality of fine art and feels so effortless but the amount of thought and care she puts into her work is truly unmatched by most photographers. If you don't book with her, you're seriously missing out on the best quality product you could hope for!

Our team of professionals firmly believes that every couple should have the opportunity to capture the memories of their special day without breaking the bank.

Bonie Wedding was great to work with. From the start process, the communication was easy. Hannah was our lead photographer with Emily and Lactoya were our videographers, who were both great teams. I highly recommend using Bonie weddings for both photo and video, as the two teams worked together without any trouble. During the reception, we barely noticed their presence, yet every time we looked up they were there recording everything. It was so nice to know that your special day was captured from start to finish, without feeling overwhelming. We appreciated Hannah and Emily's directions for all the photos. The production team was great as well. Very responsive and easy to communicate. They make the entire process clear and concise, which is appreciated when the wedding planning process and day off can feel overwhelming. Our wedding was not even 2 weeks ago and we already received our video trailer, as well as some sneak peek pictures from Hannah via Dropbox. Hannah also did our engagement shoot and it was fun and easy. We loved how our pictures came out and are so eager to see the rest. Thank you Bonie!

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.

We booked Jennifer for our wedding set to take place in Nov 2022 because her photos were moody and gorgeous. She was the only photographer that my now-husband Alex and I could agree upon when looking through portfolios. Jennifer absolutely blew us away when she did our engagement shoot, we had a hard time believing she could one-up it for the wedding. But in true artistic fashion, she did, and we are so blessed to have found her. Not only was she so easy to work with, but she was incredibly accommodating when we had to suddenly move our wedding due to a severe family emergency. We can’t say enough about her, honestly. But my husband and I both agreed that we will be flying her out wherever we are every life milestone from here on out. Do yourself a favor and just book her!

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.

If you’re looking for someone to make you feel your absolute best, super comfortable, and give some direction - you’re in the right place. Nicole and I would not have been happier with the choice to book Steve for our engagement/wedding photos and video. We were nervous and uncomfortable with posing and stressing out about how we would look in our photos, but he did his absolute best to make it super fun and stress free. We look at these photos and are still in shock at how beautiful we felt and how much fun we had. He communicated with us every step of the way and took the time to understand and execute our vision. We wanted a couples handshake stop motion … seems a little out there, right? Well … he made it happen and I’m still crying over it today. We had a few photos to swoon over as soon as a few hours later(to hold us over), and the rest came super quickly as well. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point.

Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera when I was about 6. I documented everything. Since then, my memories, large and small, are organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back & revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't even remember without pictures. I enjoy life, and that’s why people call me the “happiest photographer.”

I’m Tylee- a Michigan wedding photographer with a passion for marriage. As your photographer, I'll capture images that are timeless, romantic, and honestly illustrate your love for one another so that you will always remember exactly why you fell in love. Whether you're eloping just the two of you, or getting married in your favorite place with all your favorite people, I will capture the photos that will help you to cherish your marriage for a lifetime.

Choosing Tylee for our photographer was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. It was the best investment, and something I’ll always thank myself for choosing to do. From the beginning to the end, she filled our wedding planning journey with support, encouragement, and intention. It truly was like having another wedding coordinator/bridesmaid. She learns her couples, individually and together, and tailors her talent to their specific “vibe”. Tylee met with us multiple times and ways throughout our engagement. We had video calls, phone calls, Pinterest boards, google forms and more. As an indecisive bride, I was so nervous about choosing locations, outfits, and photo prompts. Tylee quite literally held my hand through it all—style guides, location ideas, photography “styles”, even VENUE ideas. I was 3000% confident in her ability to capture our love beautifully and in the exact way I wanted, without me even knowing what I wanted. THATS how much effort and intention she puts in to know her couples on a personal level. She made our wedding day go so smoothly, between the separate wedding photography timeline we created, and her fun interactions with the family and wedding party. I didn’t have to think about what photos I wanted, because we had already planned it, and because tylee had already thought of it and done it before it came across my mind. We are so grateful and amazed by the turnaround time for our photo sessions and particularly our full wedding album. We’ve heard so many of our friends talk about waiting months to see their photos, so the short time we waited is truly astonishing. We still can’t get through our wedding album without crying, and I don’t think we ever will. Tylee caught so much emotion and detail in these photos, I’m tearing up even thinking about it! Tylee felt more like a friend than a photographer by the end of this journey, and part of me wishes our engagement was just a *bit* longer so we could enjoy Tylee a bit longer.

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….

Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

Choosing a wedding photographer was nerve-wracking, but Nicole exceeded our expectations. We didn't want to worry about a photo list and keeping tabs on photo ops; instead, we wanted a photographer who had a creative enough eye to capture memories as they happened. And that was 100% Nicole. She has a beautiful documentary style and caught so many romantic and special moments throughout our day. From playing with our cats as we got ready at home, to my mom pinning the veil on my head in my bedroom, to me and my fiance trying to sneak kisses before the ceremony. I love the photos because they feel like real moments we can look back on -- we have some beautiful staged ones as well, but the raw ones throw us back into the day. Plus, they also look like something out of Pinterest, so they also met our vision! The style was just like the ones on her professional website, so you can trust you will get something similar. I also love how personable she and Tyler (her second shooter) are. We became fast friends the moment we met, so it felt like a friend was taking our pictures rather than a stranger. That made the day all the more special and intimate.

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Wildcrest Studio, established by Jessie Harris, is a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I aim to capture the magic of your wedding day and you as a unique couple through peerless, stunning photographs!

We hired Jessie to photograph our engagement pictures and our wedding based on a recommendation from a friend and we wouldn’t change a thing! To her personality, Jessie is such a sweet and caring person, which made us feel so comfortable. While she is very professional, we felt like friends – not “just” clients. Jessie made us feel natural and relaxed while taking our engagement pictures (our first professional pictures together). She helped us numerous times throughout the wedding planning process and even helped create our wedding schedule, which was a huge stress relief. One of our favorite things about Jessie is how she truly cares about her clients, and will both mentally and emotionally check in with them during the wedding day. Just knowing that you have someone supporting you, rooting for you, and telling you to “take a deep breath” truly makes all the difference on such an important day. We love Jessie’s one-on-one, down to earth nature and it was one of the reasons we chose her. To her work, Jessie is an outstanding photographer. Alex’s family is filled with professional photographers who had nothing but praise for Jessie’s style and quality. We love that she uses natural light and makes the people she’s photographing the stars of her photos. She also loves using real items from her surroundings like leaves, flowers, branches, etc. and incorporanting them into her shots to make them look more realistic. Lastly, her investments (prices) are very fair for the pictures and experiences you receive. You won’t find a better hype-woman and an artist. So, if you are thinking about hiring Wildcrest Studios as your wedding photographer, do it!

It is really hard for me to put into words just how amazing Katie and her husband Matt are. We found them through our friends who used them for their wedding. We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, and our friends had attended one the year before in Jamaica which Katie and Matt photographed. Because of that wedding, they chose them to be their photographer for their wedding in Michigan. After we saw the photos from the destination wedding and our friend's engagement photos we knew they would be perfect for us. After we saw our friend's wedding photos we knew made the right choice. Katie and Matt from the beginning were super helpful and were incredibly integral on our wedding weekend and day. When they arrived in Mexico, they met up with us and started to work immediately. They came to our rehearsal helping us decide where to put our camera for filming the ceremony and other helpful advice for the day of. They helped find the PERFECT first look location. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Matt were energetic and came ready to help put us to ease. Katie and Matt just have a way of making you feel at ease and then make you look like models. They did a great combination of classic portraits but a lot of candid photos mixed in (which were my favorites). They stayed through the our whole reception and the photos we got look out of a bridal magazine. We had a secondary shoot the day after as a Trash the Dress photo shoot, and the sunset photos we got look like post cards. The only down side of using Katie and Matt is that they gave us too many photos we want to print and get framed! Book them for your destination wedding (or Michigan wedding) and you will absolutely be making the best decision!

Andy took our engagement photos, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of work, communication, and overall experience. When we have worked with photographers in the past, it seems like they are either too hands off and don’t give enough direction, or they micromanage every detail which gets annoying. Andy struck the perfect balance of helping us get into flattering poses and settings, while allowing us to be ourselves and have fun. The finished product was unique, organic, and timeless.

I could not recommend treehouse studios enough! We had a very laid back micro wedding on a beach and Karly made sure to capture our day beautifully. Not only did she deliver a ton of wonderful photos, she was there from the first day for us. Any questions, concerns or ideas- she was on top of it. I never had to wait more than a day for a reply to my email and her responses were always thorough and thoughtful, I never felt like I was annoying her. Our whole wedding was very much a "budget" wedding. We didn't do a lot of traditional wedding things, nor did we hire many vendors, etc. . However, photography was one thing we wanted to splurge on and were very careful in picking our photographer. Our wedding day was a dream and Karly captured that perfectly. She was not only easy to work with but also very personable, even our guests commented how much they enjoyed her. So yourself a favor and book with Treehouse Studios, you won't be disappointed!

It just feels more like us now. She communicates so well and helped us stay organized and even sent us a budget calculator to help us manage our wedding finances- we didn’t even know we needed a budget tool until we started using it.

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 absolutely marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Whether it was a family shoot with all my nieces and nephews or a shoot with just me and my wife under a freezing waterfall to our elopement day, she managed to encapsulate emotions, personality and create memories that I will cherish forever! I highly recommend Jessica for all your photography needs! Throw your ideas at her and I promise she will make it come to life!

True Colors Creative

Las Vegas, NV
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Empire, MI

Established in the beautiful desert of Las Vegas in 2018, True Colors Creative, previously JBH Video + Photo, is proud to be a women-owned and operated business with a passion for capturing incredible moments. Serving the Southwest region including Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and California, we are ready to capture your moments and provide you with professional videography and photography services that will leave you breathless

We are so glad we found Jazz for our elopement photography in Vegas. After initial enquiry and chat over email, Jazz arranged a Zoom call so that we could 'meet' her, which we really valued as it was so important we picked someone we truly vibed with, especially as we had no family or friends joining us so photos were all we would have to share with them. Jazz did an amazing job of capturing us and the Vegas vibes we really wanted. Her photography style really suited our colourful aesthetic without being too harsh or vibrant, exactly what we were after. Jazz kept things fun and light, she had hilarious tactics to make us laugh at the right moments (required for two awkward Brits like us haha) and she chose excellent photography spots based on our mood board. We couldn't recommend Jazz more!

Sweet Caroline Photography 

5.0

Fortville, IN
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Empire, MI

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.

I have used Caroline for all of my photos. Christmas, engagement, wedding and so on. We are soo comfortable with each other it’s always so fun! She likes to do things no one else would do, so don’t be scared of ideas and sharing them with her. And she just continues to get better every year!

Madalyn Muncy Photography

Troy, MI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Empire, MI

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
I hired Madalyn for my wedding in 2020, and have since recommended her to every bride I've met! No one in my family was necessarily comfortable in front of the camera, but Madalyn has a way of calming people and getting them to relax. We have beautiful posed photos from our wedding, but some of my favorites were the natural, candid shots! Additionally, she is always responsive and timely; she delivered sneak peeks of our pictures just days after our wedding, and the rest of our photos came exactly when she set the expectation for delivery. If you're looking for a vendor who is personable, calming, and kind, she's your gal!

I'm quirky, colorful, I swear a bit too much, I love a good whiskey, and I love really hard. I'm not a mushy person who will say they "love love" but I love a good love story. I'm here to help keep the family in check during your family pictures and I'll keep you dancing on the dance floor all night long.

Awarded Best of Zola
Becca was easy to communicate with, especially since we were in different states! She was flexible with our timeline and offered a lot of recommendations in regards to clothing and makeup. During the photoshoot, she had great insight on where would be a great backdrop and wasn’t afraid to let me know when my smile looked fake! We are so in love with our photos and the ease of working with Becca…I would recommend her for absolutely anything you need photographed!
