Kelly Jo Photography 

5.0

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Merritt, MI

I started out as a photographer raising funds to go on a mission trip to India back in 2011. Since then, I’ve been there three times and to other countries near and far around the world. I am based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and am excited to travel anywhere here, or worldwide for you. Since photographing over 240 weddings, I know when to step forward and take the lead, or step back and let a moment happen. My style leans towards classic, timeless, natural, full of color and true to you moments, that you’ll always treasure.

We were so lucky to find Kelly Jo to photograph our October wedding. I can't stop looking at our photos as they are perfect! She dealt with my groom and I who are not "photo" people and made us so comfortable and we laughed non-stop. On top of that, we had a rainy wedding day and she took the most incredible pictures in between rain and using our venue perfectly. Even our detail photos are beautiful! Trying to pick a handful of photos to share is almost impossible! Highly recommend!!!!

Ten Thirty Four Photography

Grand Junction, MI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Merritt, MI

I started my photography business having a passion for capturing pure emotions and real life moments. I love capturing the essence of people, love and the characteristics that define them both. Being able to visualize a bond between people and bring that to life through a photo is what I set out to do, no matter what moment I am capturing!

I worked together with Liz a couple of times while second shooting. Liz is great with detail! She is always finding the alternative angle to best cover a couple's event. She is professional, kind, and inclusive. Liz is go-with-the-flow and able to adapt to the unpredictability that wedding days can sometimes be. Overall, Liz is a wonderful photographer!

I am Kimberly Hibbard. Why am I a photographer? After I graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Hearing-Impaired Education, I didn't plan to be a photographer until one day. I picked up my camera and took some random pictures. I posted some pictures on FB and several friends told me, "Girl! Seriously, you need to start a photography business and I need a family session! " Here I am. I have been doing it for seven years now, over 100 weddings and I love it!! I have amazing clients and I consider them to be family.

I’m not typical photog- I don’t just arrive on your day, leave after few hours, and deliver few months later! I’m there for all the moments leading to the big day!

    All I can say is Connie is hands down so much more than a photographer. She was so patient, kind, and positive when we had our elopement. We got down pour rain and she was quick to have plans to take us to get beautiful pictures. She was so thoughtful with doing things she didn’t have to do, like helping hold my wet dress, and so much more. Connie is extremely calming presence in a stressful and hectic day. We absolutely loved our pictures and all the special moments she captured without us realizing and was truly so special working with her!

    My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    I LOVED my wedding photos by Arrae. She was the kindest person to work with. I loved that she met with us before hand and showed us her previous work. Was open and honest about her passion in photography. My favorite photos are the candid shots she got of my friends and family. Now over 10 years later, I still look at these photos every anniversary and smile at the laughter and love she captured.

    More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

    Ken Y could not have been a better choice as our lead photographer and we can't wait to work with him at our wedding in September. His communication, his candor, his creativity, his commitment -- it was all aligned with our vision and our biggest hopes. Honestly, it was way more fun and carefree than either of us imagined possible and that's the best feeling. We were both smiling hours later; he lit us up. OLAS has a whole has been a breath of fresh air and such a delight to work with. We know we made the right choice and yesterday really proved it. So grateful to have found such a wonderful team!

    You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

    I did not know Abbey from Adam, but booking with her is one of the best decisions I have ever made. She is personal, hilarious, professional, and great at her job. You need someone kicked out of the picture? Abbey is on it. You need a picture of a child laughing? Abbey’s got you. You need a picture that you didn’t know you needed? Abbey took it. She will make you feel comfortable during the entire session. Not only is she good at editing her photos, but she is also great at positioning everyone for the perfect picture. She has some tricks up her sleeve that will leave you laughing and giggling for days. During my husband and I’s engagement session, she told my husband to “whisper his favorite thing about me in my ear.” Of course my husband says something to get me laughing and make my cheeks bright red (no blush needed for this session). Overall Abbey is amazing and I cannot imagine another person taking our pictures. She will be our forever photographer!

    Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

    Andrea and her team have all been incredible to work with! I knew photography was one of my top "no skimp" areas and Andrea was able to capture everything we wanted! Many of our extended family were not able to attend our ceremony due to COVID, but were able to "experience" everything through the photos we shared. From engagement shoot, to bridal portraits, to actual wedding, to even an extra shoot after the wedding in the mountains--her talent and skill is beyond anyone else I have seen! Even my husband (who does not love to be photographed) feels comfortable during our sessions and agrees she is worth every penny and more! We love her and will definitely continue to work with her for years to come!

    I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

    Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

    We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

    I see the world as photographs. I am always looking around and seeing beauty in everything. I picked up my first camera at a very young age, but officially started my photography career in 2013, going full time 2019. I want to be your life long friend & photographer who will be there to capture all of the precious moments of your life even beyond your wedding day. I was honored to be voted the #1 photographer in the Tri-Cities area 2023 by "Community Votes Saginaw, and I was also chosen as 1 of 10 amazing photographers to become a part of the Nikon Creators fam.

    Kali is beyond talented. I love her style and vision especially with contrast & color in our photos. Our photos were the talk of our friends and family for MONTHS after our wedding because they are just that amazing. She gives excellent direction so even people who may be nervous in front of a camera, she will help you through the poses etc! She also is very thoughtful about the day - not just your photos but the entire wedding experience; she asked all the right questions, prepared for all weather conditions, made a point to know the roles of all my family members, etc. She had never been to the stockyards before (in Fort Worth TX) but you would have never known it - she found all the perfect spots and just helped make my whole vision come to life in her photos. We developed a true friendship out of the wedding weekend and it made for an even more fun and effortless experience. She is just a one of a kind human and I’m truly HONORED that she was my photographer. Seriously 5 stars is not enough, she is the BEST photographer you will ever find, hands down.

    Chelcie and her team were hands down the best vendor we hired for our wedding. Chelcie is a true professional. Her calm demeanor made the day feel effortless for me and that I was in good hands no matter what was going on around me. I will never forget her personally scrubbing the mud off of the bottom of my dress before I walked down the aisle, knowing exactly what to do and calmly telling me it was going to be perfect. In addition to the amazing service we received the day of the wedding, Chelcie’s photography style, editing, and eye for detail make her a really special photographer. The preview of our pictures are absolutely beautiful and captured the immense love between me, my husband, and our families. I cannot wait to see the rest! I could not recommend Chelcie more.

    I’m Katy, a Michigan based wedding + event photographer who loves to travel. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016. My love for photography started out when I was about 6 years old. I’m a huge goofball, so if you’ve ever thought “I’ll be too awkward in photos," I know what you mean. We can be goofballs together, and I promise I won’t let you look awkward in any of your photos. A little more about me: I'm a foodie. Send bar/restaurant recommendations please! I spend a good portion of my time at concerts when I'm not photographing anything. I'm also a HUUUUGE Detroit Red Wings fan!

    Where to begin? Finding Katy was truly one of the biggest blessings of our wedding process. It was very important to find a photographer who we felt had, and actively displayed, the ability to photograph in an inclusive, respectful and honest manner. We are an interfaith couple with family and friends who fall everywhere along the social, identity and religious spectrum. Once we found Katy, we were blown away by the love, care and diversity showcased in her portfolio. Upon meeting with her virtually, we were convinced that she was the right person. Katy is kind, understanding and VERY good at what she does. When it comes to the work, Katy was proactive without being pushy and really took to heart what we wanted out of our photos. Over the course of the experience, we were able to develop a real friendship with her because she is that good of a person. The day of the event, Katy was locked in and on top of everything. Prior to our weekend, she had done an amazing job of giving us prep sheets and coordinating as much detail as possible so the big day could just glide. Katy and her second shooter Jen (who was amazing, too!) were professional, fun and didn't miss a moment of the day. Everything from planned photos to impromptu shots felt fun and natural. Getting back the album completely blew past our expectations. Every photo captured exactly what we had discussed with her. So many photographs left us speechless. Katy should be at the top of your list if you want great photos full of love, care, and magic. She is down to earth and was the only photographer we spoke to that didn't make us feel like we were just another gig for them.

    J is truly incredible to work with! He immediately made me feel comfortable and wasn’t “pushy” when I was deciding on photographers. We picked him because 1.) his photography is seriously amazing, and 2.) he is a genuinely wonderful guy, and I knew he would put me at ease throughout the day. His rates are also very reasonable and there are no “hidden” fees. I really liked that he was with us the ENTIRE day too! We just got our wedding photos back (SUPER FAST TURNAROUND) and I am completely in love! I don’t even have the words to describe how incredible they are. He captured so many moments that I didn’t even know happened, and now we have hundreds of photos of people laughing and crying throughout the day that I wouldn’t have ever seen if he wasn’t there! We wanted someone that was artistic and didn’t just take the “stereotypical” wedding photos, and he exceeded our expectations. He was very responsive throughout the entire process and took the time to thoroughly answer every single question I had. He was even helpful during the wedding day with things not entirely photographer related, like helping me find something I lost at one point and exuding a “chill” vibe that definitely calmed everyone down! My entire family adored him, and we are already thinking of new events in life that we will hire J for! I am SO thankful he was with us for our engagement photos and wedding day, and I cannot recommend him enough!

It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

    Dani did our wedding in 2022 and we have already had 3 more sessions with her and another on the books for this year. We also did our engagement session with her before we were married :) We are so thankful she has been someone that can document our lives as we grow!! She is AMAZING to work with and her photos are pure magic. It's really something that we haven't gotten bored from using her through the years, haha. But seriously, she seems to offer something a little different each time and oh my gosh we are still so blown away everytime we get our photos back from her!! We've even sent more of our family to her so she's basically become our whole extended family photographer :D

We are so glad we found Birchfields. Steve was incredibly helpful from the start - answering all of our questions, giving us ideas, and helping us to come up with the right package to buy. He gave us time to think things through, and we never felt pressured or rushed. On the day of the wedding, he was so easy and fun to work with. He sent us a small film trailer of the wedding the day after, which was so awesome to have right away! We recently got back our full edited films, and they are better than we could have hoped - super well edited, amazing crisp quality, and they really honor the mood and feeling of the whole night.

Since then, my memories, large and small, are organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back & revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't even remember without pictures. I enjoy life, and that’s why people call me the “happiest photographer.”

But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did!

    Kaitlyn was an incredible photographer to work with! We did 2 engagement photoshoot sessions with her, which were both so fun!! My husband was dreading the photography most, out of all parts of “wedding planning.” But Kaitlyn was able to make him feel relaxed and comfortable so that he actually enjoyed himself! And he actually loves the way he looks in the photos! (He usually hates having his photo taken and the way he photographs.) Kaitlyn was able to capture our silliness, laughter, and genuine happiness in the candid photos which is exactly the look and feel I was hoping for in our photos! (I’m personally not a fan of the stiff posed or moody photos.) Our second engagement shoot also included our dog, which was fantastic! Not only was Kaitlyn great to work with on wedding day and the 2 engagement shoots, she was also a great resource for planning the logistics and timeline of the wedding day. She had great input of the flow of the entire day, which was something I had completely overlooked. Most importantly, Kaitlyn was very professional the entire time. We also gave Kaitlyn the added task of photographing the flower girl nieces (ages 2 & 7 years) and the ring bearer nephew (age 5) who is on the Autism Spectrum. All 3 kiddos still talk months later about how they had so much fun at the wedding! And Kaitlyn was able to capture them all smiling! Photographing dogs and kids is always difficult to ask for, but the photos of our smiling nephew on our wedding day made the parents and grandparents cry tears of joy! It’s rare to catch this kid smiling! We loved working with Kaitlyn, and we can’t wait to do more photoshoots together in the future!

That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

You will have such a fun time with these two, and all of your special moments will be captured- garenteed! True professionals.

    For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

    My name is Lisa McCoy (as you can guess)! My husband Aj and I live in Alanson of Northern Michigan. We enjoy camping and road trips. We make sure to find all the hidden gems Michigan has to offer on the way. During Michigan summers we love being on, or in, the water. Kayaking is a personal favorite of ours. Although, I think my happiest place is walking alongside the ocean — I can’t describe how it makes my heart feel to be there! Aj and I enjoy trying new craft beers from all around the state. I always have a bottle of champagne in the fridge while Aj is always trying different kinds of scotch. Hence the names of our wedding packages.

    Lisa was absolutely amazing to work with. I got engaged in 2019 and married on May 15, 2021. I’m a wedding planner myself, so I had a lot of my timelines done early on, but Planning through a pandemic had a lot of ups and downs while working around all the state guidelines. Lisa was amazing in helping come up with ideas to help make something work in case we ultimately had to go a different route. We lucked out and got to have a wonderful day. Lisa and her second shooter (husband) put the group at ease and was wonderful posing all of us. Her pictures turned out more than we could ever imagine. So many people compliment us on all of them. I highly recommend her to anyone.

    It is really hard for me to put into words just how amazing Katie and her husband Matt are. We found them through our friends who used them for their wedding. We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, and our friends had attended one the year before in Jamaica which Katie and Matt photographed. Because of that wedding, they chose them to be their photographer for their wedding in Michigan. After we saw the photos from the destination wedding and our friend's engagement photos we knew they would be perfect for us. After we saw our friend's wedding photos we knew made the right choice. Katie and Matt from the beginning were super helpful and were incredibly integral on our wedding weekend and day. When they arrived in Mexico, they met up with us and started to work immediately. They came to our rehearsal helping us decide where to put our camera for filming the ceremony and other helpful advice for the day of. They helped find the PERFECT first look location. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Matt were energetic and came ready to help put us to ease. Katie and Matt just have a way of making you feel at ease and then make you look like models. They did a great combination of classic portraits but a lot of candid photos mixed in (which were my favorites). They stayed through the our whole reception and the photos we got look out of a bridal magazine. We had a secondary shoot the day after as a Trash the Dress photo shoot, and the sunset photos we got look like post cards. The only down side of using Katie and Matt is that they gave us too many photos we want to print and get framed! Book them for your destination wedding (or Michigan wedding) and you will absolutely be making the best decision!

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.

Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

    Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Weddings are such a precious time and my goal is to showcase your love story. A little more about me: I love tacos & margaritas, iced coffee, traveling, and reading.

    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!!

    AT THE END OF OUR LIVES WE WILL THINK OF ALL THE BIG MOMENTS WE HAVE LIVED. THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE HUGE AND PIVOTAL MOMENTS THAT FOREVER CHANGED US. I PHOTOGRAPH WITH THE IMPORTANCE OF EVERY MOMENT IN MIND IN A WAY THAT SHOWS ELEGANCE, AUTHENTICITY, AND HAS A TIMELESS FEEL. MY GOAL IS FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO RE-LIVE YOUR WEDDING DAY EACH TIME YOU LOOK BACK AT YOUR PHOTOS.

    Faith was our wedding photographer for our June wedding this year and we are so happy we hired her! Not only does she capture stunningly beautiful photos that make your jaw drop, she is truly a wedding angel! During the planning process she is a quick email away to answer your questions or concerns and is happy to hop on the phone for a conversation about the planning process. Her wedding guide is better than most blogs out there and is incredibly helpful! On the day of your wedding, she comes early, prepared, and ready to go. Having her there on our wedding day was like having a long-time friend present photographing our day. I was so impressed with her knowledge of how weddings go and I couldn't have done it all without her. I cannot say enough good things about Faith and her team! Hiring her was well worth the investment!

    After being adopted from China, I fell in love with everything creativity. I was always drawing, dancing, editing my friend’s insta pictures for fun, and of course having mini photoshoots of my dog. I felt so much joy when it came to creating art that could be saved forever. It didn’t take until college that I used all my money from my savings to buy my own camera- yeah I definitely knew my priorities. When I had time in between classes and studying I devoted it to taking pictures of my friends/family.

    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.

    I cannot say enough good things about Trevor Ritsema Photography, so this is going to be a long review. Trevor and his wife Melissa are amazing! My husband and I are so happy we were able to have Trevor and Melissa capture our day! They didn’t miss a beat! My husband and I are pretty awkward when getting our picture taken, but Trevor and Melissa are so easy going and made the experience fun! I was nervous for family photos because everyone is excited and getting everyone together is a lot like herding squirrels, but Trevor had a system and we had them done in 20 minutes! My sister in law was 8 months pregnant and wasn’t feeling well, so she left family photos and went to the reception before we could get pictures with her. Trevor noticed she was missing and found her later to get a picture of her and my brother. I thought that was so nice of him to do. Trevor sent us some sneak peaks a few days after our wedding and sent us all our photos 5 weeks after our wedding which was faster than his estimated time. He sent us over 1300 photos and they are all gorgeous! My husband and I had so much fun looking at all the photos and reliving our day! Trevor is very responsive through email and text and answered all of my questions in depth. One of my bridesmaids got engaged shortly after our wedding and, after seeing our sneak peaks, she loved the photos so much she booked him for her wedding! Trevor Ritsema Photography is phenomenal!!
