Arrae Photography

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
Amanda and her partner did an AMAZING job capturing our August 2024 wedding. My husband and I were blown away when we saw our gallery. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Arrae Photography to any couple.

Hi, I'm Mandy! I'm happiest at home with a cup of coffee (heavy on the cream & sugar), watching some HGTV (Fixer Upper anyone?!) & flipping through Instagram, with my beagle, Jack, snuggled on my feet. I love exploring new places with my sweetheart, Shawn, trying new foods, craft beer, coffee dates, Michigan autumns, and, of course, PHOTOGRAPHY! Thank you so much for stopping by my page.

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!

Wildcrest Studio

  • Serves Portland, MI

Wildcrest Studio, established by Jessie Harris, is a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I aim to capture the magic of your wedding day and you as a unique couple through peerless, stunning photographs!

I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

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 is such a fun and enthusiastic person to work with, she is so kind and creative. She has such a talent for photography and her work showcases this. She is also very hard-working and will do anything to give you the best experience as a client.

After being adopted from China, I fell in love with everything creativity. I was always drawing, editing my friend’s insta pictures for fun, and of course having mini photoshoots. 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 everything. Wedding photography was a complete different realm of opportunities. Capturing the sweetest day and to gift that is unmatched.

I am an intimate wedding photographer based out of my home state, the Mitten. To sum it up, I'm laid back, chill, and ready to hang out. I call myself an intimate wedding photographer because I work best with couples who want a smaller, more close-knit feel to their wedding day and because I offer my clients a sense of familiarity, and comfortability and help them feel relaxed and ready for the day ahead. By the end-we're great friends! My hope with every session I have is that you'll find not only the pictures beautiful but the shared experience one to remember as well.

I am a Liberian-American portrait & editorial photographer based in West Michigan. I specialize in creating work that encourages self-reflection and expression, promotes equitable action and showcases the black and brown identity and culture. My images are warm, quiet and bold. They bridge traditional divides between photojournalism, portraiture and fashion. My work is featured in magazines and online platforms like Vogue Greece, Grand Rapids Magazine, Grand Rapids Business Journal, ProPublica, and The Trace to name a few. My work has been part of numerous exhibitions locally and statewide.

My husband and I got married in 2019. We booked Alfield for our engagement photos and our wedding photos. The price is so worth the quality and experience you get when working with Alfield. We literally got our photos back the same week as our wedding. All of them were edited, even a physical photo box and custom-created album. Very professional, timely, and easy to work with. No hassle and I never had to worry about any of the logistics related to photography. Alfield seemed to have everything down to a science and every shot was perfect. He could walk around the city and with ease find beautiful shots. He is an artist and an incredible one at that. He had a small team on the day of the wedding, in order to capture both sides of the pre-wedding moments. Whenever I have a need for a photographer, I immediately reach out to Alfield, and can't see that changing unless he becomes unavailable. I have since done professional headshots with him, which came out perfect and just how I envisioned. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend hiring Alfield for any wedding photography or ANY photo needs for that matter. I couldn't be happier with all the work he has done for us. We are lifelong customers.

We originally didn’t want to spend a lot of time on photos (we’d rather be hanging out with our family and friends!) but Alicia made taking photos so fun that we wanted to keep taking photos! We will really treasure these forever :)

I’m an endless optimist and can (or at least try to) make a joke out of anything. I’m rooted in tradition, but hate following the crowd. I absolutely believe in love at first sight. I love couples who love each other madly, and love to have fun together. I love capturing your true authentic self on camera. From belly laughs to romantic kisses that belong in a chick-flick, I’ll do what it takes to make sure you have the most fun throughout your wedding. I love creating images that are bold, bright, happy, and fun! After all, weddings are happy occasions – why should your photos reflect anything different?!

Jessie loves weddings and it shows with every photo she takes. She made us feel so at ease on our wedding day and was wonderful with organizing our families and capturing beautiful, authentic photos of them. Jessie is also amazing at capturing candids. She delivered beautiful photos beyond our wildest dreams. If you want an amazingly talented photographer who will help keep your day streamlined, calm, magical, and fun, Jessie is your gal!

As a Michigan Wedding Photographer, for over 8 years now we have curated an honest and timeless collection of our couples stories here in West Michigan and throughout the state of Michigan. We have a keen eye for detail and a talent for storytelling. We create stunning, meaningful imagery, that captures the essence of your love story for all couples looking for a Michigan wedding photographer or luxury photographer for their destination weddings in the US. We capture classic elegant shots and a mixture of posed and documentary style photos that you will love.

We loved working with Amy! She was easy to work with leading up to the day, and had multiple meetings talking about the timeline and she would give advice if she thought we missed anything. Day of, she kept everything on schedule! We had a large bridal party and her and the second photographer were great and kept everyone in check. Unfortunately, it rained on our day but Amy was quick to pivot and our shots still turned out amazing. She also sent the previews so quickly and way more than I thought. We are so happy with how the previews turned out and can't wait to see the full album!

Whether it's your family, wedding, business that you're trusting me to capture - I will do so knowing how much it means to you.

We were absolutely blown away by the exceptional service provided by our wedding photographer, Gretchen. From start to finish, she demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism and skill that exceeded all our expectations. Gretchen's photo quality is nothing short of unreal. Each shot captured the essence of our special day with such clarity and emotion. The attention to detail and creativity she brings to her work truly sets her apart. We are left with a collection of images that not only document our wedding but also tell a beautiful story that we will cherish forever. Beyond her remarkable talent, Gretchen is a joy to work with. Her personable and considerate nature made the entire photography process enjoyable and stress-free. She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, ensuring that every moment was captured in a way that felt authentic to us. Managing a wedding party of 21 people is no small feat, but Gretchen handled it with incredible patience and poise. She skillfully organized the group for various shots and ensured that our photo checklist was meticulously completed. Her ability to navigate through the chaos of a large wedding party speaks volumes about her professionalism and dedication to delivering an outstanding experience. In summary, Gretchen is not just a photographer; she is a true artist and a pleasure to work with. If you want stunning, high-quality images that perfectly capture the magic of your special day, look no further. Gretchen is, without a doubt, the photographer you've been dreaming of.
