Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph. I’m always delighted to travel wherever your love story takes you—even an Aspen winter elopement. That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

I'm a love storyteller from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I primarily photograph weddings and engagements in and around the Midwest as well as destination weddings. I aim to tell love stories as honestly, candidly and uniquely as possible and I hope those attributes come across in my imagery. I firmly believe Love is Love and that everyone deserves beautiful images. I promise I will go above and beyond for you and be genuinely invested in your photographs far beyond just taking pictures. I've told hundreds of love stories and I hope to tell yours one day.

Awarded Best of Zola
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’ve always been drawn to storytelling through photography, and over the years, I’ve developed a style that combines artistry with authenticity.

So, if you are also looking for video, look no further!

Awarded Best of Zola
I recently had the pleasure of getting new-to-me services at Alder: my wedding hair (Kristen) and makeup (Anne). Two of my bridesmaids and also my mom (she was with Kayleigh) had their hair and/or makeup here. For my makeup trial, I had no clear idea what I wanted. The trial was fine, but afterwards I realized I didn’t love it and Anne was very gracious about letting me do another trial, and made me feel 0 guilt about it, and as the person who is forever convinced that I’m a burden, I am so, so grateful for that. Second trial went great and I loved the look. Felt very much like myself but better! For hair, I had a particular look in mind, and the trial went amazing and was everything I wanted! My actual wedding day was on a weekday and my party was small, so our hair and makeup were done at Alder (they will go on site if you have a minimum number of people) which was a relief to me because my venue’s getting ready area was not well lit, and Alder’s decor is always on point. We had some hiccups about appointment time (I forgot to factor in the fact that my venue was an hour away from the studio and my bridesmaids scheduled independently) but Kristen, Anne, and the Alder team were accommodating and again, didn’t make me feel like a burden even though I 100% should have scheduled all the appointments at the same time to avoid that problem in the first place. I’m not perfect! They even let us bring in breakfast while getting ready and it was just an all around good time. I felt like a princess, and my bridesmaids and mom looked so gorgeous!.

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed.

Ashley is a top-tier wedding photographer. We did an engagement session with her prior to booking her for the wedding, and she was quick to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. After booking the wedding with her, Ashley gave us many vendor recommendations and even helped us find our officiant since that was something that we were struggling with. At some point between the engagement session and wedding, Ashley called us and told us that a conflict with our wedding date came up and that she needed to be out of state that day. She had already come up with a few options to present to us, and we chose to keep our contract and let a different photographer fill-in for Ashley. Ashley knew this photographer, had worked with her before, and trusted her. And we trusted Ashley. Having the other photographer fill-in for Ashley worked out seamlessly and I was never worried about it because of all of the discussions we had. The week before the wedding we had a final consult call with Ashley & the other photographer where we discussed every last detail. This was great because it put us all on the same page, plus let us voice our opinion on a few topics (timeline details/what types of photos to prioritize/etc.). I left this call feeling confident that the photographer knew what needed to be done on the day of the wedding and that I wouldn't have to worry whatsoever that she would miss anything. I would book Ashley all over again EVEN if I knew that she wouldn't be the one actually taking the photos!

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.

Diana and team were simply the best! You want a bestie during wedding planning, you want a hype girl as you just get into your wedding dress. Diana is your girl! I booked Diana after many other phone calls with other photographers, she spent literally an hour on the phone with me getting to know me, my fiance and our life. Never once did she mention her availability or prices. Which was really refreshing after having so many vendors treat you like just a paycheck. We became besties in that conversation. During our engagement session she cheered us on even tho we were so awkward in front of the camera. You could never tell by the photos! One word. Stunning! Diana will reach out periodically during the time up to the wedding and help with locations, other vendors and help with time lines. We had many conversations and most of them started with “how are we feeling about wedding planning”…. What vendor thinks like a best friend rather than a vendor in this day and age of wedding craziness… Swatch studios does! They go above and beyond! Day of wedding if I needed something Diana was right there cheering me on, it was 90 degrees on my wedding day and 90% humidity. I was a sweat mess, she kept saying like oh yes girl and pose like “ that’s my husband… yas!” Which honestly is why I’m obsessed with every single wedding photo we got back! When the time came for Diana to leave for the night. I cried because I was so sad our time get together was over. If my novel doesn’t convince you, that you need to at least schedule a chat with Swatch Studios … are you even a bride?!

Amanda and Richard shot our engagement photos and our wedding photos x2! The pandemic was so hard but they made rescheduling and then changing our minds and having two weddings so easy! They are awesome to work with and make your nerves go away while being photographed. They are also down for anything, including trudging through 3 feet deep snow in December to get winter wonderland photos. The product you have to cherish at the end are like none other. I love Amanda’s moody and real style that perfectly captures the moment. Would highly highly recommend.

ignited Photography is a husband and wife photography team specializing in on location natural and studio lighting. With over 17 years photographing weddings together, we are passionate about love, life, weddings (and each other)!

I am so grateful we booked ignited Photography for our wedding! Heather and Kevin played an absolutely massive role in making our day perfect. Heather took the time prior to our initial consultation phone call to look into sunset time for our wedding day and helped me build our wedding day timeline from there. They were readily available by text, call, and email leading up to the wedding. In fact, they were our primary source for finding other vendors! Heather and Kevin not only did an amazing job photographing our day, but they acted almost as wedding day coordinators as well. They helped smooth any last minute kinks that came up and guided us through certain aspects of the day we had not even thought to prepare for (such as how to hold the cake cutting knife). Early in the reception, my husband accidentally stepped on my bustle and ripped out the button. Heather immediately pulled me to the side, pulled a sewing kit out of her bag, and fixed my bustle right up. There were so many other small details Heather and Kevin attended to the day of, that it would be impossible to list them all. ignited Photography is simply THE BEST and you should ABSOLUTELY BOOK THEM!!!!!!

Lyndsey was amazing through our whole wedding process; from engagement photos, meetings, and the wedding day! She helped two people who generally don’t like their pictures taken feel so comfortable in front of the camera. 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. If you are looking for timeless looking photos that don’t fit into that standard wedding photo box then she is the one for you! I am so thankful to have worked with her during my wedding journey, she made everything amazing! I look forward to working with her again in the future.

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!!

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 did an amazing job on our wedding day! We were so very grateful to have him there with us. He was absolutely amazing and did a great job collaborating with our other vendors and coordinating logistics and timing of what we wanted to have done. We were so happy that we got videography done for our big day- feels like we’re reliving it each time we watch it! Highly recommend and very worth it!!!

I’m Breanne, a Michigan-based classic wedding photographer and creative with a big heart. Coffee is my love language. Super passionate about black and white photos, sunshine, real love stories, travel, pearls, and my husband & goldendoodle Brinkley. Detroit | Northern Michigan | Florida

Awarded Best of Zola
Best. Decision. Ever. We booked Breanne maybe two weeks after we got engaged, after pricing out a few other options. She is extremely organized and professional, provided us all the documentation we needed to review, and promptly set up an initial meeting. Once we booked her for the wedding, we scheduled engagement photos. Breanne traveled significant distances for both our engagement session and our actual wedding. Her pricing is competitive with other Detroit photographers but I really don't think her work product is competitive because she is leaps and bounds above other photographers. Take a look through her galleries and you can see why she is so highly rated - you can literally see individuals' personalities through her photos. That's what drew us to her initially, and she did not disappoint. I will say the engagement session is necessary practice, so that Breanne can get to know you and you get to know her. I don't think our wedding photos would have turned out as outstanding as they did without that practice. Prior to the wedding, Breanne was very responsive to communication and she goes above and beyond to help you with any part of your wedding - she just truly loves love. Her timeline was the backbone of my wedding and I tailored all the other vendors and reception events around her schedule. Working with Breanne was the least stressful and most enjoyable part of wedding planning. She is exceptionally professional and prepared, and yet she communicates with personalized attention that makes you feel like she's your friend helping you plan your wedding. It is the perfect mix of professional competence and genuine interest. At the actual wedding, Breanne was a rockstar. She gives you everything you need in advance to prepare, like checklists and timelines. Once there, she is a calming presence. My makeup people were running an hour behind so instead of plenty of time to get dressed and do bridal portraits, we had about ten minutes. Breanne jumped right in to assist with my MOH and I've never seen buttons get done so quickly. And she still managed to take breathtaking bridal photos in about 3 minutes. She was also flexible when she saw we weren't going to stick to the timeline, she improvised and took venue photos while she waited for me. After the wedding, she was quick and efficient with the family and bridal party photos and kept the focus on the bride and groom, which I really appreciated. She manages all expectations when it comes to gallery delivery as well. AND THE PHOTOS ARE UNBELIEVABLE. I cannot stress this enough. She provides photos that are true and authentic to who you are, and how you feel the day you get married. She is not a bystander to your wedding, just doing her job until it's on to the next wedding. She truly participates, learns the names of your bridal party, remembers the little details or special requests that are important to you, and always gets your good side. Like most couples, my groom doesn't usually like how he looks in photos. But our wedding photos were the perfect depiction of "us". Every time I go through them (which is very often) I keep thinking to myself, "yes, this is us, this is exactly how I remember that moment". A lot of wedding websites tell you not to skimp on the photos and it's true because after those 24 hours fly by, you will only have these photos to remember them. And you will not be disappointed if you chose Breanne Rochelle Photography to capture your day.
