Lisa McCoy Photography LLC 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Empire, MI

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 asked her pretty last minute to do my wedding, and she was absolutely willing! Saved the day for me. Her professionalism is outstanding, she made sure to ask us first what we were comfortable with and never had us do anything out of those limits.

Captured by Grace Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,300
  • Serves Empire, MI

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.

We were thrilled with Grace from Captured by Grace Photography! Communication with Grace was excellent - she responded quickly and thoroughly answered all our questions during the planning process. On the big day, Grace brought an incredible energy - she made taking photos fun and kept things moving smoothly. The quality of Grace's work is simply stunning. She delivered way more high-quality, artistic photos than we expected, capturing all the special moments of our wedding day and telling the story beautifully. Grace also created a wonderful mix of posed portraits and candid shots that we will treasure forever. We felt like Grace intuitively understood what we wanted and needed on our wedding day. From our first couples photos years ago when we started dating, through our engagement session, and finally our wedding day, we have loved working with Grace. We can't recommend Captured by Grace highly enough - Grace is simply the best wedding photographer with an awesome talent and vibrant personality! If you need a photographer she is the one to hire!

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!

I have been working closely with Abigail for our upcoming wedding and an upcoming boudoir shoot. She has been amazing about keeping up with me, professionalism and making sure I stay in the loop!!!

Ever since childhood, I’ve been captivated by the power of photos and the stories they tell. Growing up, I’d lose myself in family photo albums, fascinated with freezing moments in time led me to photography, a medium that became my canvas for expressing emotions and creativity. What fuels my passion for wedding photography? It’s the profound belief in the power of love stories. In a world where adult milestones are fewer, the journey of marrying your best friend and soulmate stands out as a core memory. I find immense joy in capturing the moments when love, support, and celebration intertwine, creating memories that last a lifetime.

I've told hundreds of love stories and I hope to tell yours one day.

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!

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 fantastic to work with. She was so much fun made us feel like absolute rock stars during our engagement session wedding. Mary was even willing to meet us in Miami to shoot our engagement photos in a one of a kind location. She helped to make our entire wedding experience incredible documented our day so exceptionally well. I am so thankful for the photos that Mary took the friendship that has blossomed from this opportunity to work together.

As a wedding coordinator there is nothing better than photographers who care so much about their clients to capture the aesthetic they have been working so hard to create. Not only do they produce Timeless Photos for you to look back on, but their support through the wedding day is top notch. You won't have to worry about staying on schedule or having amazing photos, with Heather and Kevin you get both! They are courteous to other vendors and help with seamless transitions on your timeline. When it came time to plan my own wedding I knew I had to have them! So much so, that before booking my venue I made sure they were available first! 10/10 would recommend!

Trevor Ritsema Photography is made up of Trevor who is the photo and editing guru and Melissa who is my second shooter and business behind the scenes lady. With over 12 years of happy couples, dazzling photos, thousands of laughs, some tears (mostly good), and counting! Here, I keep it fun, light, and authentically you! I believe in preserving the adventure of life. From the big “I do” milestones to everyday family moments, I know how much value a single photo can hold. Let’s preserve those memories the way they should be: Natural, real, and just how you remembered it, while having a good time and good laughs.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Trevor and Melissa for both our engagement and wedding photos and have been thrilled at our experience. Trevor and Melissa are kind, fun to work with, professional, communicative, and extremely attentive to detail. They went above and beyond to capture not only our love, but also our personalities in each photo. They made helpful suggestions to enhance our experiences, took time to get to know us as people, and were super organized. We will definitely be reaching out to them again to capture other life milestones and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an incredible photography experience!

When you invest in my wedding photography, you're investing not only in an experienced photographer with a great eye, but in a one of a kind creative direction and compositional instincts that takes years to hone. My work is focussed on creating timeless yet modern images, with a strong editorial slant while viewing everything through a romantic lens. I am focussed on gorgeous lighting, poses that are natural and flattering and the luxury that embodies your magical day.

Astrid is by far the only photographer I wanted for my dreamy farm wedding! We were so privileged that she could capture our special big day! She has an impeccable eye for artistic and unique photos and captured all our special moments that I can forever keep! She is worth every penny! Thank you so much for all our amazing memories!

Hi, I'm Mandy! I'm happiest at home with a cup of coffee (heavy on the cream & sugar), watching some HGTV (Fixer Upper anyone?!) & flipping through Instagram, with my beagle, Jack, snuggled on my feet. I love exploring new places with my sweetheart, Shawn, trying new foods, craft beer, coffee dates, Michigan autumns, and, of course, PHOTOGRAPHY! Thank you so much for stopping by my page. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you all, and I appreciate each and every one of you!

We loved Mandy! She was so nice and helpful! She really cares about taking the best photos for you and having fun. Her preview turnaround is insanely quick as well!

Wild Elegance

  • Classic style

  • Serves Empire, MI

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.
