I've photographed 100+ weddings and countless engagements during this wild ride of a career, that started about 10 years ago. Trust me, when I say, I have seen it all. From busting my best moves on the dance floor, getting that wild uncle away from the bar for family formals, to making sure you feel like the baddest B in the room..I've got you! Need help with a timeline, what to wear for your engagement session or what location is going to rock your world? I've got it under control.

Neither myself nor my husband are super comfortable in front of a camera. That said, Dani was AMAZING at making us feel relaxed the whole time. From the first minute of our engagement photo shoot to the last dance at our reception, we loved having Dani capture our relationship - awkward moments and all. Her photos are breathtaking and perfectly encapsulate our laughs, our emotions, and our love. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding and I am so thrilled we chose Dani.

Countless hours later, meeting so many interesting and knowledgable people, and so much trial and error, I was taking much better photos and getting noticed for my work.

    Hello! Thank you for checking out my page and considering me to photograph something special in your life. I don’t take that lightly! And I love what I do — capturing great moments and creating stunning images. Whether it’s a beautiful wedding, portraits of a child, or an amazing sunset, whenever I’m taking pictures I’m truly enjoying myself — I’m excited, passionate, and completely immersed in it. And it shows. In fact, whenever you see me with a camera in my hands, you can also count on seeing me smiling, laughing, diving on the ground, jumping into ledges, cracking people up…whatever it takes to get a great shot!

    I've been married for almost a decade, but I will still never forget the sticker shock when I learned how expensive photography for my wedding would be. I was looking for someone who was laid-back, had an eye for detail, was professional but friendly, and well, let's face it...not expensive. It was a tall order!

      No two weddings are alike, which makes each one new and exciting to photograph. The key to providing couples with images they love is getting to know them before wedding day, asking questions, sharing ideas and planning the timeline of the day. After you have time to view my work, please give me a call with your questions and we can set up a time for an initial, no obligation consultation. Choosing the right photographer takes time and I never rush couples in their decision making process.

Whether it was using a Polaroid as a kid, bringing the ole digital point & shoot along to the bars in college (until I dropped it in a vodka RedBull - RIP) or finally growing up & buying my first big girl DSLR in my early 20s, I have always had a flare for anything creative. I'm sure my parents wished I had a flare for performing heart surgery but here we are... I love travel & all things adventure/outdoors (Want to climb a mountain to elope? I'm your girl. Want to exchange vows in a National Park? I've been to 29, count me in).

I reached out to Jess before I was officially engaged, or even had a wedding date just because I knew I wanted her on my wedding day. I loved her style, I loved that she shoots film, as well as digital, and she just seemed like a lot of fun. She was very flexible with our engagement session (rainy day was unwanted on our end). She was super quick with communication. And all of our photos were delivered in a very timely manner, the sneak peeks were the best to get, just enough to hold our excitement over. I think that fine art wedding photography is a true gift and I do believe that Jess has that, and you don't just get a photographer out of her, you also get a friend. someone you can rely on, which is really important when it comes to your wedding day.

      I am so glad you're here! I LOVE my family and I am OBSESSED with anything Kate Spade and if I could live in yoga pants, I would. My favorite thing to do other than photography is cook. I am lucky my husband and kiddos love eating as much as they do! We love the beach and anything Disney! I fully believe in having ice cream for breakfast and I cannot pass by a good Italian restaurant without going in. My heart melts when my boy says I love you or kisses my cheek. Being a photographer has allowed me to freeze some of our sweetest moments and I hope to be able to do that for you. xoxo

      Lauren is simply the best photographer I have ever worked with! She is the nicest person and makes everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She’s so detail oriented and makes every photo look PERFECT! I cannot recommend Lauren enough!!

      Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

      Awarded Best of Zola
      After speaking to a dozen or so photographers, we had pretty much given up. It seemed like no one was actually willing to work with us on what we were looking for, and were very rigid with the packages they offer. Enter...Hannah. Talking to Hannah immediately made me feel like I was chatting with an old friend. She really took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. Our engagement session was so much fun, and we couldn't wait until our big day. Matt and Hannah's team was absolutely amazing! They got all of the shots we wanted plus so much more! Anyone that talked with them at the wedding said how sweet and personable they are! Then came the video...and I STILL cry every time we watch it. If you are looking for a company that will listen AND deliver - this team is for you!

I have a home in Lansing and Holland and I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to northern Michigan, Mackinac Island and Traverse City to areas of Detroit! I also have condo access in Clearwater, FL and Breckenridge, CO. 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.

      Dani was phenomenal to work with from the very beginning. Her communication and professionalism are top notch yet she made us feel super comfortable like we're old friends. My now husband & I had never had professional pictures done and we were really nervous for how our wedding photos would turn out naturally because of that and being naturally introverted. Dani got us comfortable at our engagement session and all of our photos from our engagement session to our wedding day turned out so amazing!! HIGHLY recommend to hire Dani!!

      Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

      I can’t imagine working with anyone else for our wedding. Celia is absolutely fantastic. She is so accommodating and flexible. She worked with us on pricing and exactly what we wanted for our photos. Her work is unique and classy and so beautiful. For two people who don’t like to have their picture taken, we had an absolute blast with her! We had a weather issue (think tropical storm) and Celia made the effort to come back for our beach photos when the weather was more ideal. I would hire her again in a second. An absolutely wonderful and special experience.

      Hayley Anne is an AMAZING photographer! I had the pleasure of working with her at a wedding in upstate New York and the results were out of this world. Hayley seemed very laid back and personable during the shoot, but looking at the results, you can see just how diligent and focused she was in capturing all the details in every moment, all while always keeping the technicalities of composition in mind. For the dancing portion, there's so much action captured, it rivals some of the best I've seen. There's even photos of a guest being hoisted (or perhaps launched!) into the air by a friend, which to me serves as a reminder that you can only capture these details if you have a photog who is keenly aware and lightning quick. If you are looking for a photographer who can capture the unique personalities of your family members, all the fine details, and all the dancefloor action without breaking a sweat, I would absolutely recommend Hayley!

She was early on our wedding day, she posed and directed us as we asked and expected her to do (on our wedding day and for our engagement photos). She found creative places near our venue for beautiful photos, which she had scooped out ahead of time. We, and our friends and family, were over whelmed by the beautiful photos she took.

      You simply MUST hire Kelsey if you're looking for a wedding photographer. In our search, we kept coming across very moody or over-/under-saturated photography styles, which was not our vibe. We came across Kelsey's portfolio and were greeted with vibrant, true-to-life color and we were hooked. Kelsey's also just an incredibly kind and charismatic person — she made us feel at ease on our engagement session, and we got a chance to really connect, which made our wedding day that much more exciting because we felt like we were reuniting with an old friend. Kelsey went above and beyond her duties, like providing us with wedding day timeline guidance and driving one of us over to the venue so we could execute a 'first look.' We can't imagine our wedding day without Kelsey being there! Her photos speak for themselves, but I hope this review gives you the added encouragement to reach out to her, because you'll regret not hiring her for your own wedding

From our initial conversations, we knew these guys were the real deal: funny, compassionate, down to earth, and truly in love with their job. They brought a passion and energy to our wedding day that is honestly indescribable. They captured so many beautiful moments for us, I’m convinced we’re going to need a War and Peace sized photo album to put them in! They captured every moment of our day beautifully: from candid photos of everyone getting ready to close ups of of all of the details to the day to formal group shots and amazing and creative action shots of our dance floor and everything in between. We are a mixed race couple/family, and they knew how to light and capture absolutely everyone beautifully. They are fantastic at their jobs, as they are intuitive and naturally bring out the best in people, which translates into gorgeous, glowing photograph. They are also just great people themselves, which is important since they were such a big party of our day. Getting to know them throughout this process has been its own benefit.

Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera when I was about 6. I documented everything. Since then, my memories, large and small, are organized on my computer, by year.

      About wedding photographers in Ionia, NY

      How much does a wedding photographer typically cost in Ionia, NY?

      A Ionia, NY wedding photographer ranges from $350 to $6,300 and averages at $2,800. The cost reflects the number of hours included, if there is a second photographer, any prints or albums, and, most importantly, the experience of the photographer. But every snapshot they take is a priceless memory of your big day — way better than your bestie's blurry smartphone pics, right?

      Do most photographers include a second photographer?

      94% of photographers in Ionia, NY offer a second photographer, although it typically depends on the package you book! Second photographers are helpful because one person can’t be everywhere at once, and the second photographer ensures all the details are covered.

      Which are the most popular photographers in Ionia, NY?
