The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

Erin is amazing at what she does! She is very friendly and fun to be around, on top of knowing how to get the job done and capturing priceless memories and moments in a photograph. Erin has captured my surprise engagement along with two engagement sessions (winter & summer). Every session we have had with Erin has felt effortless. She was easy to talk to, had creative ideas to enhance our sessions and exceeded any expectations I had. I have loved every photo Erin has sent back to me from our time with her. Her editing is magic and makes me feel beautiful and myself in her work. I am so excited for her to shoot our wedding photos in December of 2023. I have absolute faith in her that I will cherish the pictures she takes of the day for a lifetime 3

Michael Murphy IV Photography

  • Serves Empire, 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.

Michael Murphy IV Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, their communication was effective, thoughtful, and intentional, with quick responses to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, Michael put us at ease as the bride and groom, as well as all of our family and guests, knowing he would beautifully capture our day with ease. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - candid, genuine, beautiful, and natural. We are thrilled with the final photos, which perfectly encapsulate the easy-going and joyful atmosphere of our special day. We highly recommend Michael Murphy IV Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

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!!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. 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.

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.

Jennifer and her team were astonishing! I did a boudoir session as a bridal gift to my husband, it was such a breeze and I felt so comfortable, although I was quite nervous, she made me feel like I was a pro! Our wedding day was behind schedule all day and with a bridal party of 21 it was a chore keeping everyone on point. They not only kept us going but also checked off all the must have shots for us. Everyone was so professional and kind, we had an absolute fantastic time! I would 10/10 recommend! We budgeted for a good photographer and I am so grateful we did they were amazing to work with!

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day.

KP was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From the initial consultation through the big day, their communication was excellent - they were always responsive, friendly, and helpful in answering our questions. On the wedding day, the photographers were true professionals, blending into the background to capture all the special moments without being intrusive. The final photos were absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of service provided by KP. Highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, personable photography team for their wedding.

These ladies are phenomenal! We hired them for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made for our day. From our first chat over zoom, we knew instantly that we could trust them and that they would capture us, not just a one-size-fits-all deal. They truly capture each couple in their own unique way and you can tell just by looking at their work. I’m so glad we did an engagement shoot first, because it got all the nerves out for us and we got to build more of a relationship with them before our day. We are not people who like being in front of cameras, but their enthusiasm and professionalism put us, especially me, at instant ease! The photos turned out great even with it being an unforcasted rainy and unusually hot fall day. And the wedding, holy moly! They had to wrangle all sorts of family dynamics and chaos while still taking beautiful photos in the rain. Not sure how that happened, but they made it all seem so easy and we had so much fun with them! We didn’t have to worry about a thing! …Not one thing! We received our first look photos in no time after the wedding and we are in love already. Can’t wait to see the rest! We will definitely be contacting them again in the future. Wherever you are in your photographer search (and reading reviews like this), just stop and set up a chat now. You will not be disappointed!

Our work is not about posed perfection, but about preserving the soul of your story, crafting timeless images that allow you to relive the magic of your day for years to come. For those who seek more than just photographs, we offer a rare opportunity to witness the beauty of truth in its purest form.

I can’t put it into words how amazing of a person and photographer Faith was for our wedding July 2024. From getting engaged, to picking a venue, and trying to find our next most important vendor (photographer) it was stressful. Once we found Faith, i was passed feeling stressed and i was feeling relieved. She understood my vision, was receptive to my opinions. Faith was available for phone calls and answered so many questions i had along the whole way. She helped me with things big and small, and the day of the wedding her magic really began. She made me, my fiancé, bridal party and family feel SO comfortable, and my fiance said “i feel like a model” because the way Faith was directing and perfecting every shot. She made it fun, and memorable and we couldn’t have imagined our day without her. She was on her feet all day, hustling and was always excited to capture that next shot and hype us up. AND THEN WE GOT THE SNEEK PEAK, and i had to pick my jaw up off the floor. I was and still am speechless at her work. She captured moments we thought we would forget one day, and now we never will. Faith is everything we could have wanted and more. Thank you Faith for all you do. Can’t wait to book you for baby showers, birthday parties and have you be apart of our life’s crazy journey!

This is going to be a long BUT WORTHY review because we cannot say enough AMAZING things about Julie - she is the best photographer ever! Working with Julie was a highlight of our wedding day. She has a very calming presence ad knowing she was there taking my photos made me so happy. She took our wedding photos and an engagement photo shoot and is truly one of the kindest people I have ever met! She has excellent communication and responds to calls and texts almost instantly, which was so reassuring because I was running late getting to the venue and she was fine walking around and getting a lay of the land before I got there. From the initial phone call to hear about her services and ask questions, I knew without a doubt she would be our photographer. She explained her wedding packages, her experience with photography and it felt like I was having a conversation with a friend and throughout the wedding process ad the big day, I feel like we have become great friends. She personalized our photo experience to match our style and that is so apparent in all of the photos. She provided the wedding photos within 6 weeks of the wedding day and kept me in the loop on timing and sent amazing preview pictures. She has a very easy to use gallery in which a link is provided, and you can download all of the photos. I got so many compliments from guests that she was so friendly and took so many great photos. For someone who worries about everything, photos was something I did not have to worry about because she knows exactly what photos should be taken and took suggestions for poses we wanted (it was a wedding on a tennis court so we had a few specific poses we wanted). She got so many great photos of guests, family photos, candid photos during our vow exchange and other times and during the ceremony that every emotion we were feeling was captured on film. My husband hates photos, but Julie is such a calming presence that even my husband and some family members who don’t like photos really enjoyed taking photos. She can strike up a conversation with anyone and is a ball of positive energy, which is a must have on a wedding day! Everyone that talked to her was delighted to meet her and said she was the best photographer they have met, and I couldn’t agree more. I am still amazed at the photos we received. She made the colors of the flowers, my hair (redhead) and the colors of the bridal party dresses pop in a way I didn’t even know was possible. She truly captured every emotion of the day. I couldn’t be happier with the photos and cannot wait for Julie to take more photos in the future for our family!

No distractions, no stress—just the warmth of your partner’s hand in yours, the quiet laughter you share, and that feeling of being completely seen and loved. That’s exactly what I want to capture for you. When you look at your photos, I want you to hear the songs that mean the most to you, the ones that play in the background of your story.

I'm so glad you're here! My name is Lindsay, and I was put on this earth to capture all the special, in-between moments that tell your story. When I’m not trying out a new recipe, kidnapping a puppy to love on, or packing my bags for my next adventure, I’m spending time with couples telling their story in the most authentic way possible. If you’re not afraid of some PDA, or getting a bit dirty just to grab the perfect shot, then we’re probably the perfect match.

Lindsay is AMAZING! Seriously, stop researching and book her right now because she was an absolute dream to work with, is SO talented, and all our photos are stunning. Starting from the very beginning when we had our intro call with her, she was so kind, flexible, organized, and truly invested in documenting our love story. We used Lindsay for both our engagement and wedding photographer, and I can easily say the results of both FAR exceeded our expectations. She captured ALL of the special moments throughout the day in an authentic and beautiful manner, so now when we look back at them we feel like she captured our day perfectly. Here's all the finer details, if you are interested! 1.) Our biggest fear/challenge about hiring a photographer was working with someone who didn't make us feel comfortable or relaxed or someone who didn't know how to prompt us for posing. Lindsay was NONE of those things. She instantly made us feel so at ease from the second we met her and her prompts are so easy to follow and produced the best, most natural and authentic photos. 2.) The most helpful aspect of working with Lindsay pre-wedding was her STELLAR organization and responsiveness. Seriously, this girl is organized to a T and always responded to my (sometimes VERY lengthy) emails in a timely manner. She was always so patient with my endless questions, and even took time out of her personal life to preview our wedding photo location to pick out the best spots! How amazing is that?? 3.) Working with Lindsay the day of the wedding was perfect. She arrived to our getting ready location early to make sure she gave herself plenty of time to capture our details photos and followed the schedule perfectly the remainder of the day. She kept us on schedule when we needed it, captured all of our special moments, was prepared and organized, and followed our very detailed (and complex) family photo requests to make sure allllllll the different family combos were included. All in all, if you are looking for a kind, genuine, authentic, organized, talented, and professional photographer.....Lindsay is your girl. We could not be any happier with our experience working with her and the STUNNING engagement and wedding photos she produces. Lindsay honestly feels like she's become our friend and I'm honestly sad that our time working with her for our wedding has come to an end, but we plan on recommending her to everyone and anyone so hopefully our paths will cross again in the future! We love you Lindsay 3

These candid photos will live in your memories. In a time where moments are fleeting, our goal is to go beyond just a “photo”, but the story and emotion behind each frame. Documenting belly laugh, kiss and small glance is a story waiting to be told.

Bridgette is the most incredible photographer around. Not only is she insanely talented, she also brought a calmness to the whole day. She has such a great knowledge of wedding day timelines and acted as our wedding planner in helping us structure our day efficiently where we could take a lot of photos but also have so much time with each other and our guests. Our venue was not traditional and required a lot of moving around. Bridgette took it all in stride and helped direct us to stay on track! And her photos!! She captures incredible genuine images and has such great attention to detail. We look at our photos daily and love every one of them!

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

With the day just being insane. There were so many times Kay checked in on me which made me to make sure I was okay, really made me take a breath throughout the day and made me feel special. We did our engagement pictures at a brewery and she was super creative with the pictures. For our wedding day I sent her my Pinterest board and she went for all the pictures I wanted. I’m so excited to see what they all look like. Even her second shooter seemed like she was everywhere. Start to finish the whole process was so easy to work with Kay. With so many vendors having one you vibe with is important and it was all there. 10/10 recommend her, & the team she has.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

I can't recommend her enough if you're looking for a photographer who not only delivers amazing shots but also makes the whole experience enjoyable. You won't be disappointed:)

I'm an editorial style wedding and portrait photographer based in East Lansing, Michigan. I photograph real people with real emotions—smiles, laughter and sentimental moments. I promise that you’re going to laugh in your photos rather than laughing at how awkward you were in your photos in years to come (unless your bangs look like mine did in junior high, in which case, I take back my promise).

Allie's photography and editing skills are second to none. She takes true to color photos, does not distort a gorgeous event with editing, and is so knowledgable about prompts to create the most natural looking photos. She doesn't do "posing" but encourages couples and clients to behave naturally and shoots them with the utmost professionalism and care. She is fun and easy to be around for an entire day and her communication is amazing. I would trust Allie with every professional photograph I need taken for the rest of time.

We are left with a collection of images that not only document our wedding but also tell a beautiful story that we will cherish forever. Beyond her remarkable talent, Gretchen is a joy to work with. Her personable and considerate nature made the entire photography process enjoyable and stress-free. She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring that every moment was captured in a way that felt authentic to us. Managing a wedding party of 21 people is no small feat, but Gretchen handled it with incredible patience and poise. She skillfully organized the group for various shots and ensured that our photo checklist was meticulously completed. Her ability to navigate through the chaos of a large wedding party speaks volumes about her professionalism and dedication to delivering an outstanding experience. In summary, Gretchen is not just a photographer; she is a true artist and a pleasure to work with.
