Elle & Co Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Grand Rapids, MI

I am a luxury destination photographer based in MICHIGAN, COLORADO & FLORIDA! I am ALL over Michigan and all over the nation! I have a home in Lansing, Holland & Traverse City. I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

We hired Elle & Co for our engagement photos and left our session feeling like we were in the hands of pros which helped us feel confident going into our wedding day. Dani and Jed are very professional but are also laid back and fun to be around. They not only went above and beyond on our wedding on our wedding day by running around everywhere and grabbing things for us and setting up photo ops and being ready at every turn but the photos are beyond what we wanted. 100/10 recommend!

Rylee Makenna Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,250
  • Serves Grand Rapids, MI

After being adopted from China, I fell in love with everything creativity. I was always drawing, editing my friend’s insta pictures for fun, and of course having mini photoshoots. I felt so much joy when it came to creating art that could be saved forever. It didn’t take until college that I used all my money from my savings to buy my own camera- yeah I definitely knew my priorities. When I had time in between classes and studying I devoted it to taking pictures of everything. Wedding photography was a complete different realm of opportunities. Capturing the sweetest day and to gift that is unmatched.

We are so happy we chose Rylee to be our wedding photographer! She is so talented and so kind.

Avery Kate Photography, LLC 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,300
  • Serves Grand Rapids, MI

Hi, I'm Avery! I am West Michigan born and raised, with a bit of a roaming side. You can find me traveling the great outdoors, reading a good book or sunset watching at the lake. I thrive on God’s great love and creation. Farming runs deep through my family roots, so I guess you could call me a farm girl. I’m a homebody at heart, with a passion to adventure. I fell in love with photography when I picked up my mom’s old camera in middle school. I'd capture everything from blades of grass to the cattle on my farm. 5 years later, using my cattle as models has turned into photographing weddings and capturing everything from portraits to families.

She is so amazing to work with and I have no complaints! Would hire her again!!

Sydney Marie Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,800
  • Serves Grand Rapids, MI

I'm Sydney and I own Sydney Marie Photography out of Grand Haven, Michigan. I I've been a wedding photographer since 2012 and have photographed over 200 weddings from Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Holland and everywhere between. I started in photography in 2008 and travel all over Michigan for weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked alongside Sydney multiple times at weddings around Michigan and have seen a lot of her process. I can tell you she is big on quick communication and making sure every expectation is clearly defined and communicated prior to the wedding. This is key when you're trying to plan your wedding day and make sure that everything is laid out to be not only efficient but also get you the kinds of photos she's displaying on her website. On the day of the wedding she is always calm, yet at the same time, directive, in a chill and friendly kind of way. She helps everyone relax and enjoy the day, which is a big thing considering the photographer is the person that the wedding couple is going to be around for the vast majority of the day. I know that even though she is a busy photographer, she delivers galleries pretty quickly, because she's showing me some of the galleries that I've shot with her as soon as she's finished with them. So if you're looking for someone who is going to solidly communicate with you through the whole process and then deliver your (quality) photos in a reasonable amount of time, she would be a good choice!

I started this business in 2020 as a side gig/hobby but recently have placed my full trust in the Lord to provide and now it’s my full-time job! I’m so excited for this new journey in life and I hope you join along. As your photographer, I want to capture the heartfelt moments on your wedding day in order to piece together a beautiful love story that is unique to you.

Some of my hobbies besides photography include spending time on the Lake Michigan beaches, hiking, and playing volleyball with friends.

We would recommend her to anyone! Her professionalism and friendly demeanor makes for a stress free wedding day.

Maria Lewis Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Grand Rapids, MI

Maria Lewis Photography is based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, but is available to service all of Michigan include Detroit, Traverse City, Lansing, Kalamazoo and more! Maria Lewis Photography focuses on capturing the love story behind every couple. Maria specializes in capturing the raw emotion that makes your wedding day unique. Couples can trust in Maria, knowing this passionate photographer will capture the moments you’ll cherish forever.

Choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision. I am so glad we chose Maria as ours. Because we already had an engagement shoot done prior to contacting Maria, our first in-person meeting was actually the wedding. However, chatting with Maria over the phone and via video conference made me feel completely comfortable in her experience and ability to authentically capture us as a couple. She sent a very handy bridal guide months before the wedding, too. Some of my favorite photos in our gallery are actually those that Maria and I never discussed, but rather opportunities that she and her second shooter candidly noticed and brought to life. Maria was patient, punctual, accommodating, and creative. The end quality and volume of diverse photos we received speak for themselves. Choose Maria!

Photography has been my passion for the past 15 years and I love what I do more than I can tell you. I strive to be as helpful as possible while making the planning process easy and smooth, and then of course, to knock your wedding images out of the park when your wedding day comes!

I randomly stumbled upon Jenna Rose Photography when I was looking for a photographer to shoot our engagement and wedding photos. She is one of the sweetest, extremely creative photographers that I have ever worked with. From the very first meeting at Grand River Park for our engagement photo session, I knew she was going to be the photographer for our wedding. I cannot express how thrilled we are with the photos from our engagement and wedding!!! Jenna captured every special moment with such creativity and professionalism. From the fun candid shots to the posed portraits, each picture tells a beautiful story of our special day. The attention to detail and the ability to make everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera was truly impressive. We will cherish these memories forever, and we highly recommend Jenna Rose Photography to anyone looking to capture their special moments perfectly!! We can’t wait to have her capture more memories in the future!!! Thank you Jenna for everything!!!

Based out of Grand Rapids, MI, I specialize in wedding photography and portraiture. I strive to capture those timeless moments that make up your joyful celebration. I would love to document your authentic love story and create a breathtaking album brimming with emotion. Native to Grand Rapids, I love my city and know it like the back of my hand. I also adore traveling as this enables me to experience new environments and hone my artistic skills. I am incredibly passionate about covering magical events, be it your engagement, wedding, or post-wedding celebrations, and would love the opportunity to bring your vision to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Rachelle Rae back in July of 2021. As a wedding coordinator, it's so important to me to work with professionals who communicate well, provide everything they promised (and more), work well with me and the other vendors on a wedding day, and give our couples their most perfect day. Rachelle Rae did all of this...and then some! She was a delight to work with from the very first email I sent her to the moment she said goodbye to me at the wedding for the night. I would recommend her anytime to my inquiring couples and hope we have the chance to work together again!

Hi, I'm Rayna! I grew up on a fifth generation farm in Kansas, studied photography in the Rocky Mountains, and now I live what I like to refer to as my "Hallmark Movie Life" residing in a quaint lakeside town working as a wedding photographer. Life is good! During your wedding day, my main focus is to document moments as they come, embracing each interaction and emotion with full arms. Encouraging authentic moments- I aim to not interfere with them. Each wedding photography experience through its entire process is specially tailored to its individual client from inquiry to gallery delivery, each one unique and true to themselves.

From the moment we first reached out to Rayna, her communication was efficient, helpful, and kind. The quality of her work was truly priceless - exceptional and irreplaceable. Rayna went above and beyond to make sure we got all the shots we wanted and that we felt comfortable and had fun throughout the entire process. She is the best wedding photographer we could have asked for, and we are overjoyed with the photos that captured our special day so perfectly. The guest loved her as well, commenting on how sweet she was and she blended in with the dynamic so well.

I strongly believe everyone deserves a wedding photographer who shows up, makes an effort beyond the contractual agreement, and delivers high quality images that are timeless - not trendy. You deserve photos that are meaningful, and photos that let you relive those moments. My only promise is to deliver my best work, communicate well, and serve YOU the best way I am able.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Phern for our June 2021 wedding. She also took our engagement photos. They are the best photos we have ever received from a photographer! She knows exactly how to pose people and for candid photos. She doesn't have to look at other pictures to know where to put you or trying to decide. She has a wide knowledge of what to do. She is so fun to work with too! We loved her personality and was down to earth, which was great for us on what can be such a hectic day. She even helped bustle my train with 5 bustle points many times throughout the day. She was absolutely incredible to work with and we plan on working with her again. Hire her! You will not regret it!

We create stunning, meaningful imagery, that captures the essence of your love story for all couples looking for a Michigan wedding photographer or luxury photographer for their destination weddings in the US.

We loved working with Amy! She was easy to work with leading up to the day, and had multiple meetings talking about the timeline and she would give advice if she thought we missed anything. Day of, she kept everything on schedule! We had a large bridal party and her and the second photographer were great and kept everyone in check. Unfortunately, it rained on our day but Amy was quick to pivot and our shots still turned out amazing. She also sent the previews so quickly and way more than I thought. We are so happy with how the previews turned out and can't wait to see the full album!

Kellie Hetler Photography

  • Serves Grand Rapids, MI

I was that bride that no one wants to be. I was young and had no clue when it came to planning a wedding. I chose a wedding photographer that someone suggested and not necessarily that I loved. Then it happened. My wedding photos came back and were awful. Fifteen years later, they are still awful. From that day on I thought, never again. My role as a photographer continues to push me as a creative, learning how to chase light effectively and giving you images that you'll adore. YOU are my inspiration! Simple things in life are what make me smile. Relationships, sunshine and a cozy movie on the couch. Life is beautiful, isn't it?!

We have worked with Kellie on family photos not once but now twice to capture our families most precious moments and she was amazing through the whole process. From assisting us on what to wear, to capturing the imperfectly perfect moments, and making the booking and planning process so simple, we had to book her again for more! Now, our home is filled with amazing captured moments by her and will be for the future to come as our family continues to grow! You will gain a photographer and friend for life with Kellie, and she will make you feel on top of the world during your session!
