Megan is the best!! I debated getting a day-of coordinator because I knew I would be thinking about the setup of everything when I should have just been enjoying the day and Megan allowed me to do just that. We had a few meetings beforehand to go over details and when the day came she kicked it into high gear and handled literally everything without a hitch. She knows how to handle people and is so detail oriented. I cannot imagine my wedding day without her. Thank you Megan!! 3

Gabbie Burseth Photo

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Houghton Lake, MI for additional fees

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabbie made our elopement photo session feel so natural. She knew just what to say to get us in comfortable positions and made it easy to capture our precious moments. The photos turned out beautiful, sharp, and super high quality! I definitely recommend Gabbie for any size wedding.

I found Crystal through my wedding planner. I wanted to hire a small business where I could talk to the actual person who was going to be doing my hair and make up. Crystal was great, she was quick to respond and was very specific on what information she wanted to know. She asks many questions to make sure you will have a great relationship. I really appreciate her questionnaires to make sure we would be compatible and for her to really understand your vision. Your wedding is important and the HOURS you spend getting ready really sets the stage for the day. Crystal created a great timeline, the timeline worked perfectly, my hair and make-up began and ended on time and her assistant was amazing with my family and bridal party. I felt like Crystal was my friend and knew the ins and outs of what needed that day. She is not just there for your hair and make-up she is there to make sure you feel like the bride and everyone else knows you are the bride- its your day, its your money and you deserve to have a stress free morning. Crystal and I had many back and forth emails as I live in Arizona and got married in Detroit Michigan. She was willing to schedule my hair and make up trial while I was home in the summer - this lined up perfectly with my photographers to do our “engagement” shoot on the same day. My trial was great, she made sure she looked through all my photos and chose what would work best for my skin/face and personal preferences. If there was something I wasn’t sure about she was honest in her suggestions. After the trial my hair and make up had a real test. While doing our photoshoot there was a HUGE storm- rain sideways, trees and trash flying through the air and intense wind. My hair and make up help up exceptionally. I was fully confident after this trial run everything would be great for a Michigan wedding. We did our make up at the Ren Cen- the front desk was not helpful in setting things up but Crystal was prepared for that and had great communication to make sure we knew where she was and when to grab her to make sure she got up to the room. She brought each person a personal bag with their make up in it and I had an attendant stay with me through the reception. This was a great option. It helped having someone there to fix any make up after I balled on my first look, someone there to give me water during photos, someone there to fix/add more lip stick and assistance in putting my gigantic veil on before the ceremony. There was even a fly that got into my veil and thankfully with an extra set of hands we were able to avoid a freak out ! Crystal is understanding, honest and specific. I really appreciate all those things and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

Sarah made everything so fun, made me feel like her most important client, and most of all, genuinely cared about what my husband and I hoped for in our wedding photos. She brought so much energy to our day, and was an absolute joy to hang out with all day. My husband, not one for all the details and photos, even had the best experience of his life with her.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

Incredible! Shuhrat was so great to work with. She was the photographer for our wedding & we couldn’t be happier. We just received our wedding photos back, and we are so in love with each & every photo! We are so thankful to have these photos to relive our special day. She was amazing to work with and made everyone feel comfortable. She is very sweet & truly has a gift for what she does. We can’t wait to have her take more photos of our family in the years to come.

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

I worked with McKenna yesterday for a wedding and I cannot say enough good things about her! She was kind, friendly, and easy to work with. She made the couple feel relaxed and it seemed like they enjoyed every second when they were with her. I’m counting down the days until I can see the final product. Look no further than 1828collective for your wedding photo needs!

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

Finding Salvatore and having him photograph our wedding was the best decision we made for our day. He was so incredibly helpful from start to finish and even helped us make the best use of our time for the day. Our photos (and highlight video) are BEYOND stunning and we could not be more pleased. We are so very grateful for Sal his kindness, professionalism, and BEAUTIFUL work! Having him there for our wedding made it even more special and fun. We plan to hire Sal again for future projects! 10 out of 10 HIGHLY recommend…don’t miss out on this gem!

We're Natalie & Ricky - a husband and wife power team offering photo and video since 2013. We are a fine art, film inspired luxury wedding photographer and videographer located in Minneapolis, MN but available for travel across the country. We are Jesus followers, parents to 4 kids, and are crazy about watching The Amazing Race.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first chats, Natalie was the sweetest human ever. She helped me pick a location for engagement photos when I didn’t know what to do. And she put up with me rescheduling our wedding date several times due to covid. You can tell she really loves what she does and it really shows through in her work. Even when the lighting in our church ceremony was less than ideal, she put in so much extra time and effort to make them as good as they could be. Ricky did our videography and it was so much more beautiful than I ever imagined and we were so happy we had the video package. I felt so lucky to have found Lollipop media for our special day!

Hi! Congratulations on your engagement! I'm Arielle and I want to photograph your wedding! I'm a fun loving lady that's totally in love with love. I have like 20 years of experience with a camera in my hand, and 7 years since I started shooting weddings full time. Rain or shine we're going to have the best day ever if you choose me to shoot your wedding. I grew up in Vermont and after traveling around and living in several different states I made my way back to Vermont where I posted up and started this wild photo business and I've never been happier to share my talent with you! I can't wait to meet you!

Arielle not only covered the basics of being in time, prepared, getting the photos and delivery of timely photos, she went above and beyond making us feel comfortable and having a BLAST! My family is not one to take pictures of easily and she made everyone feel at ease and enjoyed getting their photo taken. We hired Arielle in Spring 2021 for our backyard elopement and knew we had to hire her for our big friends and family wedding. Can’t wait to find an excuse to hire her again :)

From the moment we first reached out to Hello Hana Photography, we were impressed by her friendly and incredibly helpful communication style. Hana went above and beyond to ensure our engagement pictures were beautiful and that we felt comfortable during the whole process. As an interracial couple, we were worried about finding a photographer who knew how to make us both look our best, but the engagement photos she took exceeded all expectations. Hana also provided vendor recommendations and made herself available for any questions, going far beyond just the photography aspect. The final photos were nothing short of amazing - we are overjoyed with the results and would recommend Hello Hana Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience. We can’t wait for our wedding day & to continue working with Hana!

Nicole was amazing! We talked for a few months before the proposal date and she was very responsive and easy to work with. She always had suggestions when I asked and had an amazing set up idea with the flowers I gave her for the proposal. Lastly the early pictures came out great!!!

Jimmy is amazing to work with and amazing all around. He was easy to connect with before and on the day of our wedding. When he sent us the first edit of our video I didn't feel confident about how I looked and asked Jimmy if he could remove some scenes. He did not hesitate at all and reassured me that he wanted to make sure I was 100% satisfied and happy. He delivered the edited video and it was perfect. Thank you for everything Jimmy. I am so happy we chose you to be a part of our wedding and our videographer.

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

I am so so glad that we chose Faith to photograph our wedding! She made everything so smooth and really allowed us to enjoy our wedding to the fullest without feeling pressured to pose for the camera all night. She was there for every single important moment, planned or not, big or small, and she was able to capture the feelings of those moments so perfectly. We really feel like we’re reliving our wedding day when we look at the photos. I’m so excited to ooo and aw at these for the rest of my life! If you’re wanting someone kind, genuine, and incredibly dedicated to capturing every moment you need Faith!

More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

Samantha worked with us when our photographer canceled 20 days before our wedding leaving us scrambling to find someone. She did a fantastic job in helping our day go great! She helped direct us and got so many precious shots. We recommend her to everyone we know!

My name is Ronda, a professionally trained hairdresser that has recently relocated to Michigan. I’m a wife, mom and dog-mama. When I’m not in the Midwest, my husband and I spend a few months out of the year in the Caribbean on the beautiful island of Antigua (“wink wink” to all my destination brides!). In my free time, I love traveling, going to the beach with our Frenchie named “Tigua” and sipping a spicy margarita. My mission is to continue to create beautiful looks for my Brides, share my knowledge with other aspiring hairdressers, and hopefully inspire others to manifest their biggest dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough great things about working with Ronda on my wedding day. From the very first time we met in person for my hair trial, we instantly clicked. She made me feel so comfortable and was just a blast to be around! (The hair trial went amazing. She took all of my ideas and pictures and truly brought my vision to life). Fast forward to the wedding day, we stayed in contact over the months so by the time I saw her on the big day, it felt like being around one of my best friends. My hair turned out even MORE amazing than the trial, as did all of my bridesmaids' hair. I received more compliments than I can even count on everyone's hair. If you are trying to figure out who to do your hair for your wedding, BOOK RONDA ASAP!! She was truly the best to work with!

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!
