Working with Jordan and Sam was a DREAM. I am someone who gets nervous having their hair and makeup professionally done and working with AfterGlo studio had me totally at ease. Myself and everyone else who had their hair and makeup done were very happy with the end product! My skin didn’t look cakey at all and they both nailed the look I was going for. Not only are Jordan and Sam extremely talented, they are also kind and accommodating people. It was so nice sitting and chatting with both of them for my trial and on my wedding day. When I sat down in Jordan’s chair to get my makeup done, it felt like catching up with an old friend. If I didn’t live on the other side of Michigan, I would DEFINITELY want to be friends with them. They truly are nice, talented people and I am so happy I booked them. They were definitely my favorite vendor to have and work with for our wedding. Thank you Jordan & Sam! 3 P.S. the look held up all night and they even supplied a cute touch up kit for everyone!

Hi friends! I'm Chel, a 30 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, TN, 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!

Chel was the PERFECT photographer to capture our wedding day! She was attentive, thorough, and FUN! Both my husband and I can be pretty camera shy, but Cheleana made us feel confident and comfortable. She set a clear calendar for us to follow and made every interaction feel special. She takes the time to get to know you and you know that you are important to her. She took all of our requests and gave us literally the perfect photos for our special day. I cannot recommend her enough!!!

Alexander and I fell in love exploring the World together, from mini baecations, to immersing ourselves in new countries. Our love, has been our greatest adventure. Like most couples, our happily ever started with an elaborate vision of a dream wedding but months after planning we were left feeling incomplete. We found our dreams for a deeply intimate ceremony, lost in the expectations of modern-day wedding planning. We decided to take a leap of faith, following our adventurous hearts and ELOPE. Elle & Co transformed our elopement vision into a reality assisting with planning and providing exceptional care. Dani was truly my cheerleader and best friend wedding planner. Her listening skills are impeccable and attention to details makes her a true artist. Upon meeting Jed and Dani, we knew we made the right choice. We love their energy and connection, so natural. Our elopement was absolutely perfect, everything we hoped and dreamed for. The ceremony was private and intimate captured across breath-taking, beautiful landscape. Time stood still and there was only our forever. Our decision to elope was the most beautiful testament to our love. Our pictures take our breath away with every look. Cheers to adventure, love and elopement Elle and Co. Love always, Alexader & Kee Albaugh

Love Plus One Wedding DJs, Musician was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. They brought a lighthearted and optimistic energy that kept the mood upbeat. Their communication was consistently humorous yet professional, and they were very respectful of our vision. They were helpful in guiding song choices and flexible when we asked for changes. The DJ followed our script for most of the event, which our guests enjoyed, though he did go off script at the start and end with slower songs than we preferred.

  • Serves Essexville, MI

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.

We had an amazing experience working with Alyssa Marie Photography for our wedding! Alyssa and her husband were an efficient, friendly, and reliable team who captured all the special moments from our big day. Their communication style made planning easy, and they worked seamlessly in the background on our wedding day to get fantastic shots without ever being intrusive. The quality of Alyssa's work is excellent - the photos are timeless, classic, and thorough in documenting our wedding from start to finish. We absolutely loved having Alyssa there and can't recommend her highly enough! Her photography style results in gorgeous, meaningful images that we will treasure forever. We're so grateful we chose Alyssa Marie Photography to document our special day.

Viavi Flower Farm was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding flowers. From our very first interaction, Suzi was responsive, kind, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process. The final arrangements they created were natural looking, beautifully composed, and perfectly on theme with our wedding vision - all at a very reasonable price. The flowers fit exactly what I was looking for and truly elevated the look and feel of our special day. We ordered the bucket of blooms for our centerpieces and arranged them ourselves which was more cost effective for us and gave us an activity we could do with our friends before the wedding. Suzi and her team helped us load the flowers into our car and gave us tips on the best ways to keep them fresh. I would highly recommend Viavi Flower Farm to any couple planning their wedding.

WOW. We just went through our photos this morning together. We are literally obsessed. You and Jay did such an amazing job! Marco and I are both so grateful we had your team capture our day. The number of genuinely HAPPY and SMILING faces tells us so much about how great of an evening it was not only for us but also our guests too. You captured so many genuine and natural moments which was exactly what we talked about nearly 2 years ago. We are sad it’s over, sad to not be working in the same capacity with you but I have a feeling we might have made a connection far more than just a vendor client relationship. Thank you for all your help through all our hurdles and listening to our vision and making it come alive from every aspect! Love, The Kus

The quality of their work was truly stunning - the photos they captured were detailed, professional, and exceeded our expectations. One example of how they contributed to our special day was that the photographer made sure to get couple shot with our direct family members who we had forgotten to include.
