I have been a wedding photographer for over a decade... I love telling people's stories through classic, natural photography. My ultimate life mission is to make people feel good… whether it’s with a smile, a hug, a super cheesy joke or finding a way to turn a stressful situation into a positive one! As for my name Andrejka (aan-DRAY-ka)... it’s Slovenian from my immigrant parents... who I think have the most movie-worthy love story on the planet (might explain my obsession with love and weddings)! Traveling feeds my soul... yoga centers it... and dancing, well... Check out my IG @andrejkaphotography to see just how much I love to dance!

I am a full-time mama and professional wedding/lifestyle photographer serving northern Michigan and wherever your vision takes us. From a young age, I have always been told I have a “photographer’s eye,” so I thought I’d give it a “shot!” There’s nothing I love more than freezing a moment in time for a client to keep and cherish forever. So here you are, I am so happy you found me!! Check out my page to make sure I’m what you’re looking for. I know I am;)

I am a Traverse City native, completely passionate about meeting new people and celebrating life's biggest adventures with them. Some of my favorite things in the world are Northern Michigan summers, a good story, and beautiful light. I am crazy about Jesus, my family, and adventures, and I consider it a great privilege to be a living my dream of being a wedding and portrait photographer in my absolute favorite place on earth.

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.

I'm a Michigan Native and moved north 6 years ago - best decision I've ever made. I prefer whiskey and lakeside campfires, but I also love a night out on the town. I'm a mom, major cat lady, and I'm currently loving Seinfield reruns. I'm a teacher by degree, and have worked in the event industry for years. I'm a big true crime junkie - podcasts, books, shows - all of it, but I cannot for the life of me watch a scary movie. I believe the best moments happen in the in-between, and these in-betweens tell our story. I love stopping time in these moments, just for a minute, so you can tell your story for years to come.

You can usually find me out on our boat with my husband and three children exploring the Great Lakes. When I am not exploring Michigan, I am definitely traveling to explore other areas around the world. I love photographing the fleeting moments with my children as they experience life is something: A smile, a tear, the belly laugh, concentration and everything in between. This fascination is what carries over to my photography. The connection between two people who intend to spend the rest of their lives together is magical. It is expressive and full of fleeting moments that one may forget unless it is captured in a photograph.

My name is Charity Sizemore, I am soon to be Charity Miltenberger. I am a mom of one beautiful little girl. Photography has been my true passion since 2012, but I really started to expand my knowledge in 2016. My dream is to capture as many love stories as possible.

I have lived in Northern Michigan my entire life, and I wouldn't live anywhere else.

My photography is bright, colorful and true-to-life. I love to find the balance between the posed, elegant portraits and the candid, joyful photos of you and your partner, surrounded by your favorite people coming together to celebrate your love. I want your photos to capture authentic emotion and meaningful moments, and for the images to be timeless heirlooms that you’ll look back at fondly for years to come. I focus on the meaningful connection of the moment rather than perfect posing. Your wedding is a day full of emotion, and I want your photos to highlight those feelings.

The Farm at Frog Hollow is an event venue with a difference. Architecturally, the barn is referred to as a “monitor” style, and its distinctive look was developed in the 1890s. Remember, that before weddings took over, barns were first and foremost a dwelling for livestock and a repository for hay and grain, and the monitor design created optimal flow of air and light, better both for the animals and their feed. So, how does that translate into spaces for 21st century events? Frog Hollow is comfortable and cozy, intimate when it needs to be. The Farm at Frog Hollow lends itself seamlessly to a myriad of events, from weddings to parties, from showers to concerts. The barn is warm and inviting for small gatherings, but spacious expansive enough for groups up to 250. High-tech capabilities expand the possibilities, the new tented patio welcomes even larger guest lists, and a professional kitchen is perfect for staging. Just imagine of all the things you can do

Hi! My name is Seana Hope. Yes, Seana Hope are both my first names so you can call me whatever is easier for you. Everybody is asking, why photography? I grew up spending my lunch breaks in the library, scanning books and learning about new things by looking at the pictures in between the pages. I guess I was just always introverted (don't worry, I can be goofy too) so I really loved my alone time. As I got older, I have become so adventurous, scratching places out of my bucket list one by one. With every journey I take, I enjoy sharing them through my photos.
