As a Visual Folklore couple you'll have lots of time with Christine to collaborate on your dream images. If you're looking for a hands-on, helpful, and fun photographer, look no further! I'm here for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot begin to talk about how wonderful Christine is--as a professional, as an artist, but as an individual who deeply cares about her craft and the people she is creating memories for. Christine is spunky and makes even the stiffest models let loose; she makes being photographed comfortable and enjoyable. Her photos truly do speak for themselves. She does an amazing job capturing personalities, candids, but also the deeply emotional and sentimental moments and portraits every bride and groom want to have from their wedding day. Through our engagement session and wedding day, you can truly see our love for each other and personalities shine through in her images. This is truly because of the thoughtfulness, passion, and love Christine has for her profession and the couples she photographs. I cannot emphasize enough that you need Visual Folklore for your wedding or other significant life event!

I could not have envisioned a more perfect place for our wedding reception than Stonebridge. This is a stunning venue! We had our reception at Stonebridge on Friday, 5/31/24. Kim helped us coordinate everything from the beginning and made everything so easy. Stonebridge is great because it includes catering, lots of decor, and ceremony too, though we had our ceremony elsewhere. Having catering through the venue made it that much easier because we didn't have to look for another vendor for this. The outdoor cocktail hour space was beautiful and perfect. Having the outdoor tiki bar in addition to the indoor bar helped move the line along. We had buffet style dinner, and we got so many compliments on our food. The garlic mashed potatoes and bronzed salmon with capers were the clear winners, but everything was so good. The event managers of the day, Sarah and Hannah, were amazing. They checked in on my husband and I frequently to make sure we always had what we needed, and brought us so much peace of mind! If anything went wrong, I don't know about it, because they along with Kim ensured that everything was taken care of. All decorations supplied by Stonebridge were set up and taken down for us at no extra cost, but we also opted to pay a little extra to have Stonebridge's staff clean up the decorations that we brought, which eased a lot of the burden on our families. This was 100% worth every penny. Everything got cleaned up that night and they took great care of our things so nothing was damaged. They also assisted in setting up our donut table shown in one of the attached photos! Pictures don't do this beautiful place justice but hopefully you can get an idea :)

Hello lovebirds, and fellow humans, so glad you have arrived here! I'm Linnie, a Ann Arbor wedding, portrait, and engagement photographer (but packed and ready to travel). The photos I take tell stories of love, of life, and of connection. Your love story is important, and how it is captured matters too. My couples photography is meant to showcase your love, your bond. I am known to do a mix of candid and traditional posing within my galleries. True to color and slightly bold edits, I take pride in my photography style. I can't wait to capture your love story!

Linnie is great at her craft! She did everything she could to empower and coach us into really just feeling like our best selves on our wedding day. At no point did we feel self-conscious, which was amazing because neither my husband or I are naturals in front of the camera. We will cherish our photos for a lifetime. I’d recommend her for a wedding any day!

You want your wedding photos to look and feel like you. You don’t want to turn the pages of your album years from now and wonder why unnatural colors were ever a photography trend, and you don’t want to regret looking overly posed or awkward. That’s where I come in.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey had been the wedding photographer for a friend of ours and when we saw what she had done, we knew we wanted to use her services too. We not only used her for our wedding, we also did an engagement session and we had the best experience! My husband needed some help being comfortable around a camera and she made it fun and also captured so many candid photos which was perfect because he can run out of smiles if he is posing too much. We enjoyed all the time we got to spend with Kelsey because she is able to provide timeless photos that melt the hearts of all those that see them and she can also keep things moving quickly and efficiently! Our wedding was in February and there had been a snow storm a couple days before, she was able to make my dream outdoor winter photos a reality and I still can't stop looking through them all! She kept us and our wedding party on task when we needed to be but always made sure to ask if there were other photos I wanted. I cannot recommend Kelsey enough to anyone who is at a life milestone, she will win your hearts with her attitude, professionalism, and overall demeanor, not to mention the fantastic pictures you will receive! I hope that we have another opportunity to work with Kelsey at our next life milestone!! Thanks Kelsey!

Since 2007, I have truly enjoyed sharing music and great times with old friends and new. From a cross country trip to Reno or a house party here in Ann Arbor, each gig has been a gift of sounds and fun for me. I believe the right music can bring people together in a way nothing else can - making a good time great, and a great time unforgettable. I really can’t even call this my “job”, it is an opportunity to make people happy and share my love of music. The music... THE song that takes you back to a memory of past days or a new one you just made.

Patrick was professional, easy to work with and very patient. He did an excellent job and we would use him again in a minute. Tried very hard to have something for everyone, and give the bride and groom exactly what they wanted. Very impressed!!

I'm finding it hard to summarize my experience with Zingerman's Cornman Farms into a simple, short review because of the amount of work and tireless effort that was put into my experience here. Tabitha, Kieron, Olivia, Kirsten, Rachel, and the rest of the team at Cornman Farms put absolutely everything they could into helping me plan my July 31, 2020 wedding on the farm. For the past 10 months, I have been working closely with the staff here to execute our outdoor, 85 person wedding and it has been nothing short of one of the best experiences I have ever been a part of. Zingerman's Cornman Farms is the most charming and beautiful property with so much to offer couples who choose to get married at the venue. From the beginning, our expectations were met with top-notch customer service and all-inclusive experience. I wanted to book this venue for my wedding since I came across it on a google search, but after seeing the property, the 1800s farmhouse, barn, lush fields and gardens, we were absolutely sure we weren't going to explore any other options. In the middle of our wedding planning, we were thrown a global pandemic which posed a huge problem for gathering. Tabitha and the Cornman Farms team were so gracious and prompt in replying to emails, messages, zoom calls, etc. during the entire shut down and included such an empathetic, supportive tone. We knew from the beginning of the shutdown that we were going to get married on our wedding day no matter the circumstances, but we were a million times thankful that Cornman Farms chose to stick with us and do everything in their power to host our event on their property with accommodations and safety measures in place. On the actual day of our wedding, we were greeted by several people to help, including a concierge, and farm production and execution staff. Each moment of our day was orchestrated perfectly and it is because of all the work the Cornman Farms staff does (especially behind the scenes). Our wedding looked a bit different than a traditional wedding because of the circumstances, but Cornman Farms put every effort into making it perfect that we wouldn't have changed a thing even if we could have. Our day was a beautiful, sunny, 80 degrees and ended with the most picturesque watercolor sunset. We still can't believe everything happened, and that it was real. Our guests raved about every detail and we think about our wedding every single day. Zingerman's will always have our business, we will always be thankful to Cornman Farms and the people there, and we cannot wait to come back to the property for events and anniversaries in the future. Thank you Cornman Farms for playing such a huge role in our love story!

I am also a documentary photographer specializing in boutique weddings & adventure elopements available to travel worldwide. Before finding my niche in wedding photography, I studied extensively in the classical street photography style, which provides the foundation of my approach: capturing "the moment" and telling visual stories.

Our engagement and wedding photos turned out better than we ever could have imagined. Yana is such a pure and genuine soul and she is extremely pleasant to work with. She was so kind and patient with us during our pandemic change of plans and she ended up flying across the country to shoot our microwedding.

We were very happy we booked our ceremony at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. First of all, the gardens were gorgeous. We had our wedding in early June in the Perennial Gardens, and it's even more beautiful than it looks in photos. During the planning process, Monica was very easy to reach and very organized. We live out of state, but Monica was able to give a tour to my family (who live in town) while my husband and I were on FaceTime so we could see the space, and even gave us another tour once we were in town. We didn't have a day-of coordinator, but we really didn't need one with all of Monica's help. Monica helped us run the rehearsal (along with our officiant), and had assistants on the day of the wedding helping everything run smoothly. They had spaces for the bridal party to "hide" before the ceremony and took us through a back-entrance to the garden so the guests wouldn't see us before the ceremony. They helped us get lined up on time, and Monica even adjusted my dress and veil before walking down the aisle. From our guests perspective, parking was easy and there were signs directing them to the ceremony location. Given that this is an outdoor venue, there's always the risk of rain. However, Monica can help you pick the right time of year to minimize your risk. There's also information on the website about which gardens are at their peak bloom at different times of the year. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Matthaei! We would recommend this location to anyone looking for an outdoor wedding.

We laughed, bonded, and began our planning journey together that would last over a year. I had a lot of big dreams and visions, and Lisa took each of them seriously but respectfully as we navigated budgets and venue restrictions. I often referred to Lisa as my fairy god mother because she truly made my vision come to life. While she created and executed thoughtful details that brought me to tears over my wedding weekend, she was also a solace and cheerleader for me during the emotional, difficult parts of wedding planning. Her advice, wisdom, and knowledge about the wedding industry is vast but also detailed and tailored to her clients. She quickly picked up on our likes and dislikes and made sure to introduce us to vendors that we would mesh well with. Lisa continuously impressed us with her knowledge of venues and vendors – sometimes knowing more about venues than the venue itself! I never felt as if she was trying to upsell us in order to make more money or to work with a vendor just because she liked them. Lisa’s guidance and professionalism led us to having the most perfect, flawless day that we could have ever hoped for. When my hotel room didn’t have a full length mirror while I was getting ready, she bought one on her way to the venue. That is only one small example of the attention to detail and love that Lisa puts towards her clients and events. She is a seasoned professional that is enjoyable, reliable, and wonderful to work with. I will miss working with her. Thank you for such an amazing experience and incredible wedding!

I am a full time photographer, momma of two boys, and wife to my hubby out here documenting love stories just like yours! I have been a photographer for over 25 years, professionally capturing weddings for over 7 years.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Nina shoot our wedding on May 20, 2023. She is super professional and organized. She is very good with going with the flow but also following the plan. She’s also extremely good at getting candid photos and tricking anybody into being less awkward with the camera on them. Another huge plus is that while her return time might be longer, you get all of the photos from your day rather than a select amount which was a huge thing for us. We love Nina and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is looking for an amazing photographer.

From the start, their communication was precise and timely, which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work and value was unbeatable - the space was incredibly versatile, allowing us to have both a DJ and karaoke, and they were flexible in letting us bring in an outside food vendor, which was a huge perk. This venue was also a great spot for our after-birthday celebration, as the process was easy and the staff was so accommodating to our needs. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Cantina to any couple looking for an affordable, functional, and flexible after party venue.

A Chic, Modern-Industrial Venue Near Ann Arbor, Michigan For The Trend-Minded Client ​ We know that choosing a venue that is epically unique AND checks all the functional boxes can be stressful and darn near impossible to find. You want to walk into a space and have it "sing" to you with all the possibilities but not overwhelm. ​ As a newly transplanted event designer from California, we struggled to find a space that we could emphatically recommend to our clients. Most spaces lacked the vibe and functionality our clients are looking for with the blank slate to create something truly personal. So, we created it! The perfect blend of California boho and functionality to help you and your guests have an epic and Instagram worthy event to share with your followers, proudly.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Offers full-service amenities
  • Feels like a getaway
  • Classic elegance

Venue considerations

  • No in-house catering options
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
We had our wedding at the Collins off Main in August and it was everything we could imagine and more!! The space itself lends you to have whatever vibe for your wedding you could want and the team at the Collins is really what makes the place. We were going for a garden lush elegant yet fun wedding and had the best time. We liked getting to choose all of our vendors, having flexibility with bar/food service, a different space for ceremony (at the Clocktower a block away), and most of all having an outdoor area that is tasteful and fun. We also loved the after-party feature and it was so easy to move guests there after the reception ended. Jess and the team were thorough with the design planning and took what was in our brains and put it into the venue seamlessly (from the couples perspective) working with the other vendors; as well as acting as day of coordinator being extremely helpful. They have decor which couples can borrow and also easy to collaborate with rentals for chairs, table ware, etc. We enjoyed staying in the suite the night before and after the wedding which made getting ready and pictures go smoothly. I would recommend the Collins off Main to anyone!!

The team at Lake Forest Golf Club was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication was quick, efficient and extremely informative, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is truly high-end and amazing - the Overlook is an absolutely breathtaking space with its indoor/outdoor setup overlooking the golf course and stunning sunsets. We felt comfortable the entire time, as no detail was left unturned by the attentive and professional staff. The spacious and different layout of the club allowed us to create a truly unique and up-to-date wedding experience for our guests. We could not have asked for a better venue to host our special day.
