Hi, I'm Shonda! I am a wedding photographer based in Northern Michigan. I am all about capturing the real emotions and connections of your wedding day. With a focus on small intimate weddings and elopements, my documentary photography style is genuine and authentic, conveying the equality and love between you and your partner.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shonda is absolutely unparalleled in the industry. Neither my husband nor I are typically comfortable in front of the camera, but Shonda did an incredible job putting us at ease through her approach of encouraging connection and focus on each other, rather than being rigidly posed. She captured our love in an authentic way that felt intimate and unique, which is essential for what I'd say is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day. She was organized, thoughtful, and thorough at every point in the process, and can make a wedding at any venue feel special and snazzy. We HIGHLY recommend her to any future couples!

Hi! At Promani Weddings, we are a local wedding media team that specializes in capturing the magic of wedding celebrations. Led by owner and accomplished photographer/filmmaker Benjamin, our dedicated team of talented photographers and videographers excels at transforming your special day into timeless memories. In thanks to high demand from all of our amazing couples, we have established incredible teams in Michigan, Tennessee and North Carolina!! I can't wait to hear from you and learn more about your wedding.

Exceptional Wedding Photography Experience I recently had the pleasure of working with a Ben and his team (shout out Mike!!), Promani Weddings, whose talent and professionalism made our wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we met, it was clear that he wasn't just there to take pictures—he was invested in ensuring our special day was captured in the most beautiful and authentic way possible. -Personable and Friendly Approach One of the standout qualities of our photographer was his warm and personable demeanor. He immediately put us at ease, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. This was especially appreciated during those hectic pre-ceremony moments when nerves were running high. His ability to connect with us and our guests on a personal level created an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie, which translated into natural and genuine photographs. -Unique Candid Photography Technique What truly set our photographer apart was his innovative use of candid photography. Instead of staging every shot, he discreetly captured spontaneous moments that perfectly encapsulated the emotions and relationships of everyone present. This approach resulted in photos that felt alive and authentic, reflecting the true essence of the love and joy we experienced that day. Looking through our wedding album, we were amazed at how he managed to capture moments we didn't even realize were happening, yet are now some of our most cherished memories. If you’re on the fence about doing candid photography for your wedding, this is your sign to DO IT! -Superb Communication and Understanding Throughout the planning process, our photographer was incredibly communicative and attentive. He took the time to understand our vision for the day and worked closely with us to ensure every detail was accounted for. His professionalism and dedication were evident in his proactive approach to logistics and his responsiveness to our questions and concerns. He was not just a hired vendor but a true partner in ensuring our wedding photography exceeded our expectations. -Execution of Vision On the day of the wedding, Ben seamlessly executed the vision we had discussed. His keen eye for detail and mastery of light and composition resulted in stunning images that captured the beauty of the venue, the emotions of our guests, and the intimacy of our ceremony. He balanced capturing the big moments with the subtle nuances that made our day unique, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration was documented with care and artistry. I cannot recommend Ben, Mike and Promani Weddings highly enough. His talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft shone through in every interaction and in every photograph. He not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a collection of images that we will treasure for a lifetime. It’s been two weeks since our wedding and we already have our edited photos, highlight reel and full ceremony video. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture moments but also enhance your wedding day experience, look no further. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made, and we are forever grateful for the memories he preserved so beautifully.

What can I say about Amber… I could not have imagined a better photographer for our wedding! She was professional, excellent at communication prior to our big day, and best of all FUN! She was SO good with our kids and so accommodating. She legitimately felt like one of our guests while still somehow managing to capture every beautiful moment of our day. We have only seen our preview so far (just got marrie two days ago) but every single photo is gorgeous.

I am a storytelling and documentary elopement and wedding photographer based somewhat in Ludington, Michigan. I'm obsessed with nature, rocks, travel, and documenting everyday life. I love art & live music. I went to school for architecture and ended up obsessed with photography. I homeschool my kids and we spend most of our free time hopping from mountain bike parks to national parks to lakes between Michigan, Arkansas and Arizona and everywhere else we can.

Jessica Max captured our wedding day in the most spectacular fashion, we could tell she had recorded the most candid and genuine experiences of the day. This is what makes her work so unique from other artists. She is casual, comfortable, and very cool to work with. We are quite casual ourselves, and were able to trust her to do her job and our results were breathtaking. Her product has the quality of fine art and feels so effortless but the amount of thought and care she puts into her work is truly unmatched by most photographers. If you don't book with her, you're seriously missing out on the best quality product you could hope for!

Working with J. Roman was a dream! We won an engagement shoot with J and quickly knew we wanted him as our wedding photographer after an engagement shoot that was so fun! He delivered hundreds of photos that we loved. His range is amazing; from moody and dark, to vintage and chic, to glam and bright, all the versions of photography you crave for your big day, J covers! We were open to J's eye when it came to moments and he worked seamlessly on our big day--him or his team never felt intrusive to a special moment. The raw emotion of the wedding day was captured so beautifully-we get to relive such a momentous day over and over through his art. He was incredibly professional, was very easy to work with and was so helpful in planning. J has delivered amazing results: 2500 photos for our wedding, which we received in exactly 3 weeks. We received the first short video within 4 weeks of the wedding as well for his photography and videography package. So grateful that we booked with J Roman and would recommend his over and over again!

I am a bit late, by bit maybe a lot... but we got married in September. Not only did Arleigh keep me grounded, but she was such a help with introducing me to an amazing wedding planner. Since day 1, Arleigh listened to my needs and worked with me to create the perfect package withing my budget. On our first meeting Arleigh was straightforward, communicated well, was professional and really made us feel so secure in our decisions. The day of, she was on top of every detail and moment, and although to me it went by in a blink, she captured every special moment with warmth and feeling. Our album came arrived within 2 days after we placed our order, and as I looked through our album, it was like reliving every moment all over again. Friends and family loved working with Arleigh and Joanna the day of. Everyone loved our photos, that I was even asked by something borrowed blooms to be featured in their marketing ads. If you are looking for beautiful, romantic, and just great aesthetic photos, Arleigh is your girl!!!!!

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

Wildcrest Studio, established by Jessie Harris, is a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I aim to capture the magic of your wedding day and you as a unique couple through peerless, stunning photographs!

I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

Hi!! I'm Jen, the heart and soul behind Jen Marie Imagery! I'm passionate about creating unforgettable memories through my lens. Beyond being a dedicated photographer, I'm a coffee lover, taco enthusiast, concert junkie, Netflix aficionado, and proud pet parent. My journey with photography started as a childhood passion, using up all my mom's film on disposable cameras. What began as a hobby transformed into my life's calling in 2016 when I booked my first wedding. From that moment, I knew I had found my true purpose. There’s nothing I love more than photographing love!

Jen is amazing. Book her right now, you won’t regret it. Seriously, do it. Both my husband and I were a bit camera shy and nervous about getting our professional photos done but from the moment we met her, Jen put us at ease. Not only did we feel comfortable taking photos with her, but I felt she really captured us, our joy, and our love for each other in all of the photos. After our wedding she sent us hundreds of photos, and every single one is a treasure that I can’t stop looking through. We’ve gotten so many compliments and many have said these are the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen. She’s so committed to you, she even stood in a down pour and slid down a wet hill to get the perfect first look photos. Book her, you will not regret it.

Her style of photography was exactly what we were looking for and we are so thrilled with the outcome. Lyndsey set up a meeting prior to our wedding and created a whole timeline for photos that went along with what our coordinators at the venue had planned. As a big planning person this was so nice for me to see how the whole day would fit together. My favorite thing about working with Lyndsey was just her in general. She is truly a kind person who is passionate about her work. She has an eye for photography that I haven’t seen in any one else’s work. The poses that she created felt natural and came across beautifully. I can’t recommend her enough.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod was so professional and made it so easy and fun to take photos that captured our essence and our love. The photos of our special day are now displayed in our home and continue to be a priceless reminder of one of the best days of our lives. Can’t recommend Jarrod enough - thanks for everything 11/10 !!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Avery is such a fun and enthusiastic person to work with, she is so kind and creative. She has such a talent for photography and her work showcases this. She is also very hard-working and will do anything to give you the best experience as a client. She has helped me so much along my photography journey and has become someone I look up to in the photography world.

Hey! I’m Lara (say it like Sarah). I’m a Detroit native, but have been soaking up the gorgeous South Florida sunshine since 2014. I’m an old soul: a lot of my friends joke that I’m 30 going on 90. I love old movies, interesting traditions, crossword puzzles, Peruvian food, animals, and Harry Potter. And, ten thousand other little things…. I love traveling the world with my favorite travel buddy, my husband. We got married in 2017, and going through that process of being a bride myself gave me a fresh perspective on the art of documenting a wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can't recommend Lara higher as a wedding photographer. Aside from the fact that she is charismatic and very easy to work with, she was very communicative and we knew exactly what to expect. She's thorough and very organized from the get-go. As we prepped for our big day, she was on top of everything from our day's timeline to learning the intricacies of our families. On our wedding day, she somehow managed to be everywhere all at once, not missing any of the tiny details or the big moments of our day. We could not be happier with how gorgeous our photos turned out, we get nothing but compliments on them.

Hi, I'm Madalyn Muncy-Piens, the lady behind the lens over here at Madalyn Muncy Photography. I'm not into being the center of attention so I keep your wedding ALL ABOUT YOU. I'm all about balance, so I'm the perfect combination of organized and flexible, proactive yet not overbearing, knowledgeable but not bossy, and a comforting presence both with and without a camera in hand. When you hire me, you get someone who genuinely cares about comparing photos of our dogs, sharing recipes for dinner, and listening to your book recommendations. Check out my website or Instagram to learn more about me!

Awarded Best of Zola
Madalyn was probably the best photographer we could have asked for, it was like having a friend instead of a vendor throughout the day. She just does a great job of capturing candid and genuine emotion, and after getting all of our photos back we loved how she was able to capture us (and pretty much everyone else) looking great and having fun without being overly posed. In addition, she was so incredibly organized and professional throughout the entire process, she got us our timeline and I was able to use that to build the rest of our day-of-schedule around it. She communicated early and often and always made sure she got the list of required photos we wanted so we didn’t miss anything. Since she also hadn’t photographed at our venue before, she set up her own meeting with the venue before the wedding to get a tour and walk-through so it wasn’t a surprise on the day of the wedding. She was assertive when she needed to be to wrangle our families for photos but otherwise was extremely flexible in getting shots if the plans changed! Especially since our wedding was late in the winter and we decided against a first look, she made sure to have a lighting assistant on hand to help coordinate additional flash and we got some great evening photos, and the second shooter who helped out had some awesome ideas for important shots too. Also, she got us engagement photo sneak peeks within 24 hours and got us our wedding sneak peeks (40+ photos!) within 48 hours of our wedding. She just made the entire planning experience and photo sessions so comfortable and fun.

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since. Whether it's local events or adventures across the globe, I’m all about creating stunning, authentic images for my incredible clients. Let’s make magic together!

Kirsten Wray Photography was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Kirsten's communication style was direct, effective, and genuinely sweet - she immediately put us at ease as a couple who doesn't usually love being in front of the camera. Despite having a huge family that was challenging to wrangle, Kirsten was professional, prompt, and thorough in getting all the group shots we wanted. The finished photos are of excellent quality and editing, capturing all the special moments of our day in a way that exceeds our expectations. Kirsten went above and beyond to deliver amazing photos, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Kirsten Wray Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

I've been specializing in weddings for nearly 15 years. My style includes capturing the many genuine moments that occur during the wedding day in an unobtrusive and low key way. Documenting the day in an artistic and non cheesy way really tells the story of a couple's big day. I feed off the energy from couple's and their guests and craft a story of their day through photos. On a personal note, I have a loving wife, 3 kids and 2 dogs!

Matt is by far one of the best single shooter photographers I have ever met. He is everywhere he needs to be to get all of the amazing shots you want. He is so easy going and professional! You will love every single picture he takes and it will be hard to pick what ones you will want in your wedding album, and on your walls. He gets to know you on a personal level and listens to what you want. He is the best!!

You can usually find me out on our boat with my husband and three children exploring the Great Lakes. When I am not exploring Michigan, I am definitely traveling to explore other areas around the world. I love photographing the fleeting moments with my children as they experience life is something: A smile, a tear, the belly laugh, concentration and everything in between. This fascination is what carries over to my photography. The connection between two people who intend to spend the rest of their lives together is magical. It is expressive and full of fleeting moments that one may forget unless it is captured in a photograph.

Rayan is one of the most creative wedding photographers working today. During the leadup, she'll work closely with you to understand the nuances of your day. And when the day arrives, she'll document your sentimental moments in a thoughtful, discreet manner. My background is in art and design, and every time I look at her images, I'm so incredibly impressed by her artistic vision. But perhaps even more importantly, the photographs remind me of how special the day was and how warm and accommodating Rayan was throughout the entire experience. I can't imagine it without her.

I’m a photographer + graphic designer based in Michigan. I have a slight coffee addiction and you’ll most likely find me sitting in a coffee shop editing away while drinking an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and a scone. I love talking about the Enneagram and will do so for hours if you let me. I binge New girl repeatedly, I love to rock climb, and I look for any excuse to spend time with people. I value hard work and I'm always looking to perfect my craft. Striving to grow and make myself the best version of myself that I can be. Working with people is really special to me and I’m so fortunate to be in a position that allows me to do that.

Cammi and her photos are unmatched. They are simply breathtaking, while at the same time she makes it easy and almost natural to be in front of the camera. Cammi is a radiant person, and it's clear she loves what she does. She has been a resource on all things wedding, and I am so thankful to have worked with her throughout this process!

Hello, my name is Liv and I'm an Adventure Elopement + Destination Wedding photographer based in Colorado. I'm down for just about anything rock climbing, snowboard/skiing, hot air balloon, helicopters, ATV and sand dune riding. If you are up for a unique experience, I am here to capture it! If you want to keep it simple overlooking the mountains I am there! I'm here to tell your story no matter how minimal or adventurous it may be. Best yet, I travel to you! Traveling to new destinations with couples to their desired location is a part of what I do + love to do!

As a provider of entertainment for large events, you work with many different planners, photographers, bands, florists, etc. The quality of the event depends on the quality of the people you hire. Photographs are one thing, but what people don't see is how a photographer can set a tone or a level of comfort that carries through the event team and event. Working with Olivia on multiple jobs were some of my favorite experiences because not only were the photos exceptional, the way she guided and calmed the guests and team makes for an enjoyable experience all around. I would recommend Olivia for any event and have used Olivia as my personal photographer!

Im passionate about documenting your big day in a way you can be brought back to the moment and feel the excitement and passion every time you look at your wedding album. Photographing your wedding is as important to me as it is to you, and it not a job I take lightly! Every couple has a different list of important items to be captured, and my goal is to serve you and your partner in the best way possible, capturing the shots most important to you, plus the little in-between moments you didn’t even know that happened.

My wife and i are very happy and thankful we found Sammy. We had a last minute emergency wedding due to my wife’s father being diagnosed with a terminal illness and not much time to live. Wanted to get professional pictures taken so to have quality pictures to look back on a few beautiful moment during a tragic time with my wife’s father. Contacted Sammy with only a few days notice. Sammy responded very quickly and thankfully was available. My wife and i were only mainly focused on getting shots of the ceremony itself and yet Sammy pulled off sooooo much more. The day of our wedding it was raining till ~1pm and the wedding was in my parent’s in law’s back yard scheduled at 4pm. Needless to say we were all literally working setting up decorations and rapidly getting ready till minutes before the ceremony. Somehow Sammy took a magnitude of stellar pictures of us all while we were setting up and getting ready, so much so that the number of pictures make our wedding look like a lengthy wedding day portfolio! Every single one of the pictures taken from our wedding are beautifully and consistently edited, and most importantly captured the crucial moment we were hoping for. My wife and I are still blown away by Sammy’s work and without a doubt highly recommend Sammy to anyone needing a professional photographer.
