We’re just a few midwest kids who love pursuing lots of fun hobbies and having a good time. On any given day, you could find us reading a book, watching our favorite show, crocheting a blanket or doing a puzzle (or all 4 things at once!). We try not to take ourselves too seriously, we pet every dog we can and we will never give up trying to keep our houseplants alive (emphasis on ‘trying’). We cherish time with our favorite people watching movies or playing board games while eating tacos.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most amazing experience with Swatch from start to finish. Our engagement session was perfect, despite the rainy day. I can’t BEGIN to explain how wonderful our photographer Claire was on our wedding day. The sneak peeks blew our minds and we can’t wait to see the rest of the gallery. HIGHLY recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
We highly recommend AA Studios! They were our wedding videographers and we are so thankful we found them! They were easy to work with. Their communication from the very beginning was fantastic and it never faltered. They sent us a questionnaire to fill out that ended up being incredibly helpful with some wedding planning details we hadn’t even thought of yet. The day of they were on time and ready to go! They immediately got started with videoing details as we got ready. They were kind and accommodating all day. After, they continued their great communication and updated us often on where they were with the editing process. They provided multiple videos within the contracted time frame. Now…on to the quality of the finished products. AMAZING! We received a teaser video of a few seconds and it made us so excited for what was to come! After that was our highlight video. Watching that had us smiling from ear to ear as we remembered our day and saw things we didn’t see the day of. It was absolutely beautifully edited. We shared it with our friends and family on Facebook and everyone loved it as well. We also received our full ceremony, which I have watched probably 100 times since then. They captured every word, every emotion. Another video was our reception video. It included our entrance, cake cutting, speeches and dances. We love rewatching that and hearing the words spoken and laughing at our not so perfect dancing. Finally, we received an extended highlight video with some messages from family at the end. We loved it and having those moments captured! We are forever thankful that we found Alex and Anastasiia, we consider them friends now! We will always have these beautiful videos as a memory of how perfect our day was and how obvious our love for each other is. They even surprised us with a bonus gift when they sent our usb of the videos. Thank you a million times over! Now do yourself a favor and book them! You won’t regret it!!

Bethany was an absolute delight and did such an amazing job with our wedding pictures. We hadn’t been to many weddings but Bethany answered all of our questions about what timeline would work best for first looks, bridal party, and family pictures to make sure we got all the shots we wanted. We communicated ahead of time to coordinate our must have pics and she captured every one and then some! She and her second photographer were right where they needed to be for every moment of the wedding, even some spur of the moment reception pics like grandma & the grandkids drinking a beer. It was like Bethany had a sense for everything important before it even happened. I would choose her as my photographer again and again. Our gallery was huge and I am so grateful to feel like she got EVERYTHING on our perfect day

I've been photographing weddings and love stories for ten years and have captured 200+ wedding days. After photographing my very first wedding for a dear friend, I couldn't believe how much I LOVED photographing wedding days. To tell each couple's completely unique and beautiful love story from behind my camera...there is no greater honor and joy!

First, I am SO incredibly happy I went with Winterlyn to capture my wedding day! As soon as she got to the venue, she went to work and did not stop until she left for the night. I appreciated her work ethic, professionalism, advice, and creativity. Her personality made it easy to have a great day, even in the midst of a little chaos. Also, I have to mention her second shooter, Antwonette, was a pleasure to work with as well! Second, the sneak peak pictures....BLEW ME AWAY! I wanted light, airy, magical pictures, and she delivered beyond my wildest dreams (and I only have seen the sneak peaks). Between the detail pictures, portraits, groups, ceremony and reception, Winter sure knows how to capture the magic of a wedding.

VRA PHOTOGRAPHY

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Oakland, MI

I aim to professionally document the wonders of your celebration in a way that feels easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for you. My creative background provides a unique aspect to my photography. It combines high-quality and top-of-the-range equipment with an individual perspective.

When you are hiring Veera, you are not getting yourself a photographer, you are roping in a magician, and the master of capturing emotion. Veera covered my wedding that spanned 3 days, and was filled with events, music, dance, color and laughter. I have never met someone as professional, fun, kind, accommodating and talented as him. He was the best vendor I worked with through the wedding planning. He knows exactly what to do, the shots to take and angles to capture. His skill and talent will immortalize many an occasion, and with guarantee, compel you to relive the joyous event. The hues in his pictures are the most vibrant combination and contrasts, and you will soon learn that he’s elusive to normal surfers of wedding websites on the Internet, and rightfully so, for he is your surprise find. Should you ever have the good fortune of landing his services, you will look at the outcome and realize that he has put his time and soul into it. I do not wax eloquent about people for any reason other than the fact that they simply deserve it and he is one of the very few people I’ve ever written this for. I can count on my fingertips the people that I’ve left reviews. Veera, bless your heart, you’re a great guy, with the gift of photography from God, but you enhance it with your good nature, absolute professionalism, sense of timing and the oodles of creativity you possess. I do not wish to have any other photographer for any milestone of my life will follow this. Hire him without the slightest doubt and he will make your moments look like they’re straight from a magazine, without all the fuss and with everything that’s real and tugs at your heart.

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.

Avery was amazing! She was great with communicating with me about the weather and good times and days for photos leading up to the shoot. Then she arrived on time and was very professional and had poses picked out for us and directed us through the whole thing for amazing pictures. A very short amount of time later we received our beautiful sneak peeks- followed very closely by the rest of our gallery! Could not recommend more I am very happy with her and her work!

I had my wedding in November 2023, and working with 505 was like a DREAM. I got a package that allowed me to work with a video and photo team, and I also had a day-of coordinator. Krystal was my coordinator, and she was incredible!! She was super friendly and bubbly, but also extremely professional. Working with her and her team was such a smooth process; they were quick communicators, I always got a response back quickly, and I never felt uncertain or worried with them. From the engagement session to the wedding itself to the delivery of the final product, I was extremely happy. The photographers and videographers were so much fun to work with, and I honestly can't speak highly enough about how happy my new husband and I are. We also referred 505 to my cousin that just got married. Love this team!!

I've been photographing weddings full time since 2011. When I'm not chasing after wedding parties, my husband and I live to travel. We're avid scuba divers, love exploring, and get overly excited when we find a new brewery or speakeasy. We met at the University of Michigan and we stayed in Ann Arbor because it felt too much like home to leave.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've worked with Chelsea for close to a decade, and after our first couple of weddings together she has been a top recommendation for my couples and friends throughout that time, to the point that she was our own wedding photographer. Her warmth, listening, and creative instructions made it easy to take pictures throughout the day, and that same ability to communicate and be friendly makes her ideal to collaborate with as a vendor. It's hard to explain how much poise and adaptability is needed to be great at weddings, but Chelsea sets herself apart from just being a great photographer (which she is!) with these skills that make her great on a wedding day.

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. 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.

Mary was absolutely marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

Lol) Heather does an amazing job at keeping the energy going while also keeping the vibe lighthearted and chill. We felt comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera. She is there for whatever YOU want. She helped me immensely with the timeline of my wedding day, and even would hop on phone/video calls with me if I had any questions or concerns leading up to my wedding day.

I previously worked with Zarnab as a second shooter at a wedding. As an experienced photographer myself, I know that it's not just about clicking pictures; it's about weaving narratives, immortalizing emotions, and encapsulating love in its purest form. Through a blend of skillful photography and subtle direction, we were together able to document the essence of the couple's relationship in its purest form. However, post-production was where the magic truly unfolded. With meticulous attention to detail, Zarnab enhanced each image, preserving the authenticity of the moment while elevating its visual impact. The final gallery was a testament to the couple's love story—raw, genuine, and utterly captivating. Working with Zarnab was an absolute pleasure, and I'm grateful to have played a part in capturing such beautiful moments together.

I'm Erin. I'm a photographer, traveler, and wide-eyed wonderer. I split my time between the Midwest and my bungalow near the beach in Oceanside, CA. My favorite pastimes include exploring Disneyland, watching Schitts Creek & Ted Lasso, and cuddling my dog. I have a loud laugh. I love cabernet franc, chocolate chip cookies, and I'm on a constant search for the best tacos in the world.

Working with Erin and her team was awesome! They’re so friendly and don’t miss a thing! It’s a real pleasure to work with vendors who make you feel like a priority and are so easy-going. Erin is amazing and we highly recommend her.

Hey there! I’m Dakota, and I am the face behind the camera. I’m married to my adventure companion and partner in everything. We are blessed with two very daring and creative kids, I’m sure you’ve seen 1 or 2 pictures of them, Sawyer and Dax. I have a mad case of ‘Wanderlust’ and if I am not chasing after my littles, or working – we are probably on or planning an adventure. I am pretty pumped to meet you and help capture the moments that mean most to you!

Dakota and her team are amazing at capturing it all during your wedding day. She was well organized and had our list of family photos, knew where we wanted to take photos and added in suggestions. The team was able to keep everyone organized and moving so we could capture the most photos during the short windows we had. Dakota is down to earth and made everyone feel comfortable. We have used her for all of our family photos from then on!

I am a self taught photographer. This journey started in 2013 as a stay-at-home mom with some young ones running around and an urge to dive into my creative side. It has since evolved beyond anything I ever thought it could. I genuinely love what I do and all of the connections I've made with all of the many amazing people I've worked with over the years.

I am not a colleague or friend of Ella Rose Photography (although it would be an honor to be friends with Michelle.) I am writing this review as a client. I fell in love with her style of photography a few years ago and booked her for my family's fall photos. Upon receiving my photo gallery I almost cried at how beautiful they were. That was when we were a family of five. Now we are a family of six, and have only gone back to Michelle for our photos. Not only is she kind and patient with my four children, but she has a way of capturing each one of their personalities with her lens and freezing that moment of time at their specific age that I can hold onto forever. You can definitely tell she's a mama. I would highly recommend (and have many times) Ella Rose Photography. Your photos will not just look like annual family photos on your wall, rather like fine art that will stand out amongst other family/wedding/etc. photos.

Anastasia Photography

It all started for me back when I was a teenager, taking pictures of my little sister with my first camera. I remember her running around, playing, making faces, and giggling. At that time I thought to myself, even as a child, that moments like this are so short and that I want to capture this exact moment forever in my head.

The minute I met Anastasia, I absolutely loved her energy. Then I noticed just how experienced she was in this industry. As someone who has a shy husband, Anastasia’s posing advice and tips were BEYOND helpful. We would not have achieved the photos we now have had she not given us her pointers. Anastasia is timely, professional and NEVER misses a shot. Some of my most beloved photos for life have been shot by Anastasia. She also has such an eye for detail — she captured photos of our holding hands and grabbed all of my tiny accessories without my direction. Had it not been for her, I never would’ve remembered to get a shot of my perfume or my shoes. Lastly, her energy. You cannot be a stressed or overwhelmed bride around Anastasia. She’s so encouraging and kind. She talks you up while she’s shooting and makes you feel so confident behind the camera. I would shout it over and over: BOOK ANASTASIA! You won’t regret it.

I’m an IT professional by day, a photographer by night, a mom & wife every second of the day. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m married to my soul mate and together we have two young, rowdy boys that we have LOTS of fun with. I grew up in Argentina and that’s shaped me in more ways than I can explain. I have a deep rooted connection to people & places and often wear my heart right on my sleeve. I am very ‘laid-back’ & focused when in a photo session. I do more looking than talking to make sure I get the vision just right. I provide specific direction when it’s needed and vague direction to get the intimate candids.

I had no idea our small, low-key wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze sophistication, refinement as well as fun! Not bad for a simple courthouse wedding! If you value photography and want someone who is a master of their craft and a true professional all-round, look no further. Genevieve did everything she could to empower and coach us into really just feeling like our best selves. At no point did we feel self-conscious. We will treasure these photos forever. Thank you, Genevieve DeVries Photography

Hi there- I'm Shannon. I specialize in weddings because I love documenting others' joy and happiness. I believe love is love and everyone has a story worthy of being told. As an award-winning wedding photographer, I've photographed over 200 weddings and I've worked with some of the most prominent studios in Michigan.

Shannon Ferguson Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our very first interaction, Shannon's communication style was fluid, fun, and incredibly attentive - she made us feel like we were her top priority throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, Shannon's creativity shone through as she seamlessly captured all the special moments, finding the most stunning and breathtaking backdrops for our photos without ever feeling intrusive. The final images are truly works of art that we will cherish forever. Shannon's ability to be present yet invisible during the ceremony resulted in the most beautiful and natural shots that perfectly encapsulate the joy and emotion of our big day. We are beyond thrilled with the value and quality of Shannon's work, and cannot recommend her highly enough to any couple planning their wedding.
