I was stressing over floral for my wedding. I wanted something pretty simple but not too pricy. I got connected with Poppy and the Peony and they took care of the stress I had! They helped me with pricing options and we found something that worked in my budget but also that I loved. I was still nervous going into the day of my wedding on how the floral would look, but everything was amazing! The tables were perfect and all that I was looking for. I would suggest this company to anyone! They came and set up the floral. I had to return the vases, which was no big deal at all! There are tons of different options for all budgets.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Jaime! She truly made the stressful experience so easy. From the time I met her at a bridal show, up until even now after wedding day, Jaime has been a pleasure to work with. Communication is amazing, she’s so incredibly supportive, professional, and detail oriented! She took our wild idea of a Tim Burton-esque theme and made it come to life. The day was even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined or hoped for. My husband originally wasn’t sure a wedding planner was even worth the cost, but as the day got closer, he was so thankful we had her part of our team. Jaime went above and beyond what I thought a wedding planner would do, I even had another vendor share with me what a pleasure she was to work with! I cannot say enough nice things about her, I don’t think there’s enough words in the world to describe it! In moments of brief anxiety on wedding day, I just looked around for Jaime and knew it would all turn out alright once I saw her. I’d recommend her to literally everyone I know.

On top of it I found out after the wedding one of my bridesmaids who has a skin condition asked the makeup artists to help cover it up and they helped make her feel beautiful in her own skin, I have never seen her glow with confidence she truly felt and looked stunning! Plus they took the time to move to the Grooms room and give him a hairstyle that fit him and his curly hair so well! Thank you so much Kayleigh and Corena for being part of the best day of our lives!

Hey ! I went from a hobby photographer to a professional a few years back. Weddings are my favorite things to photograph. Getting to see my couples love story head into the next stage amazes me. I have been a full time wedding photographer for 3 years now.

We really loved working with Shawnia. The photos were gorgeous and her turnaround time is pretty incredible (one day for sneak peeks and less than two weeks for our full gallery). Loved her so much we also booked for my son’s senior photos. Communication was good, she pointed out problems in our timeline in terms of how it would impact photos and we really appreciate that honesty. Poses never felt fake, awkward, or uncomfortable. And she was super easy to talk to. Wedding shoots all come with a second shooter, and you also get the full gallery of photos. Everything just felt natural.

We're Jenna & Joey, a Husband and Wife team based in Michigan. We got married in May of 2020 (yes, in the middle of the pandemic). You'll often either find us at a coffee shop, the nearest burger joint or curled up in bed binge-watching New Girl while eating allllll the snacks. Oh, and we can't forget that we're dog parents to our favorite girl, Nala who is always trying to snuggle close.

Jenna was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. We booked an engagement session and 8hr coverage from her for our wedding day with a second shooter. She ended up being sick the day of the wedding and texted us already with a plan in motion for another shooter to come in her place. When they got there they knew absolutely every single detail I ever spoke about with Jenna. It couldn’t have been more like if Jenna was there herself. She even got us around 25 photos as a sneak peek the very next day! We have talked so much since the wedding that we have absolutely zero bad things to say about the photographers and how easy they made the entire day go. Absolutely loved Jenna and her whole team and have already discussed booking with her for any future photography we might need!!

Hi I'm Patty, your wedding photographer. I am based in West Michigan and spend over 50% of my season servicing Detroit & Chicago couples. Along with servicing the Michigan and Chicago market, I have slowly begun to expand my territory to include destination work with places like Texas, Virginia, Florida and Spain. I serve couples who understand that this season is one worth being celebrated and remembered. The couples who embrace their family and their people however that looks. Most importantly I serve those who see these photographs as an investment into their legacy.

Choosing Patty to be our photographer was the greatest decision we’ve ever made! From the moment we met her to receiving our wedding photos, Patty was INCREDIBLE. She made a wonderful effort to get to know us before our engagement shoot. Not only is Patty a phenomenal photographer, but she has also become such a sweet friend - going as far to lend me her Hulu password so we could be caught up on How I Met Your Father together. I felt like she understood our style and matched our energy wonderfully. During our engagement shoot in Saugatuck, Michigan, I was insistent we went to the beach to take some photos. Little did we know it would be a nearly mile hike in the heat of summer to get there. Despite sweating our butts off, Patty had a smile on her face the entire time and was incredibly professional. The photos were breathtaking and exceeded our expectations. During our wedding day Patty was there for every special moment, big and small. We didn’t worry once about the photos because we knew we were in wonderful hands. We had about 225 guests and both have big families, Patty was able to manage all of us during our family portraits! Patty is such a genuine person with a remarkable eye and talent. We can’t recommend Patty enough to be your wedding photographer!

We were so happy with our choice! Amelia knows how to create an extremely vibey venue. It was everything we wanted: vintage, rustic, industrial, and chic with an enchanted outdoor garden. Amelia and Liv worked with us to help everything go smoothly. Liv was day of manager and was extremely helpful and professional. She knew how bad I wanted an outdoor wedding, so she was watching the weather and made sure to have everything as organized as possible to take it outside weather permitting. It continued to rain for the ceremony but she helped to make the indoor ceremony more beautiful than I imagined! Both were extremely easy to work with.

MillCreek Wilde provided the perfect rustic yet elegant backdrop for our special day. Communication with the venue owner, Amelia, was quick, friendly, and attentive throughout the planning process. She responded to all our questions promptly and helped ensure everything came together smoothly. The venue itself is simply stunning with tall trees, string lights, and beautiful landscaping that made bringing in additional decor almost unnecessary. We felt the venue was very fairly priced given the beautiful setting and helpful staff. Amelia even took the time during the reception to capture photos for an Instagram reel to help us remember our special moments at MillCreek Wilde. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect, naturally beautiful venue with an accommodating team to match for our wedding day! It was a magical setting - exactly right for our personalities and hopes for our “enchanted woodland” wedding!

We had our wedding at Gable Hill Venue and were so pleased with everything! Their communication throughout the planning process was responsive, understanding and amazing. They were quick to answer any questions we had and made us feel like our wedding was a top priority. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous - the beautiful landscaping and architecture made for such lovely photos. For the quality and beauty of the venue, we felt the pricing was very affordable, especially with all the add-on options they offer for lighting, furniture rentals, etc. Our guests raved about what a unique and gorgeous venue it was. We highly recommend Gable Hill to any engaged couples looking for a beautiful and affordable venue that also provides top-notch customer service!

McKenzie was everything I could have asked for in a photographer. I spent a lot of time looking through photographers in the area, as having nice photos to look back on was super important to me. We don't live near where our venue was, so I was a bit nervous about not being able to meet the vendors ahead of time, but this was not a problem at all. McKenzie was very communicative and video called me for our meetings, was up front about the costs and payments, and honestly just so so sweet. I genuinely felt like she was just as excited about my wedding as I was. Her positive attitude was so reassuring and I knew right away that we made the right choice. On our wedding day, she gave great direction for posing, which was super helpful as our bridal party (bride & groom included) were not very experienced working with a professional photographer. I have a pretty big blended family, and McKenzie was so helpful organizing everybody and making sure everyone looked their best for photos (even making it work when some family members made things complicated). We had a videographer as well that McKenzie had never worked with before, but you couldn't tell that they had just met that day, as the worked so well together. When people were at risk of interrupting our photos, she kindly asked them to move, and snuck me out for sunset photos during the ceremony with ease. We had our "sneak peek" photos sent to us only a few days after the wedding which were so sweet to look at during our honeymoon. She even included a sweet card in our card box. Not only is she talented, but she is kind, helpful, understanding, and it felt like I was working with a friend (despite basically being strangers). These are photos I will have to look back on to remember these moments forever and I am so grateful I chose the right photographer. I would highly recommend McKenzie to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, or a photographer for any service she offers.

You absolutely have to book Abby! She is both extremely professional and extremely personable!

This put me at absolute peace of mind on my wedding day! If you follow Abby on Instagram, you will see she is always taking classes and sharpening her skills.

Riki and team were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography! Working with Riki over the past two years (starting with engagement photos all the way through our wedding day) has been an absolute dream and we couldn't have wanted it any other way! She was very attentive to any and all details, extremely helpful with helping us plan our timeline for our wedding day, and just a ray of sunshine that always left us feeling confident and thankful to have her as our photographer! Our photos came out better than we could have ever imagined (including the special wedding photo album and gift that she sent us). Bottom line is if you're looking for a wedding photographer to capture your special day in west Michigan, Riki should be at the top of your list!
