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!

From the moment we decided to go with Katy from Meininger Media LLC, we knew she was the perfect fit. She was so easy to talk with and communicated with us every step of the way, always supporting our ideas and willing to listen. Katy was a joy to have at our wedding, and everybody there loved her. The photos she captured were absolutely stunning - we couldn't imagine our wedding day without her there. The quality of her work and the value she provided was incredible. We are over the moon with how all the photos turned out and will cherish them forever.

You're engaged—congratulations! As the excitement settles and planning begins, we’re here to ensure your big day exceeds your dreams. Think of us as your planning partner, handling the details so you can focus on the moments that matter. If you’ve got Pinterest boards that don’t quite fit together, are juggling countless details, or feel unsure where to start, we’re here to help. Our mission is to turn your inspiration into a stress-free, seamless celebration, allowing you to fully enjoy the journey to your dream day!

We used Destiny and her team as our coordinator for our wedding in August and we are so glad we did!! I literally cannot say enough nice things about Destiny - she’s extremely organized, reliable, detail oriented, and always made us feel like everything was under control and we didn’t need to worry. She went above and beyond leading up to our day, always checking up on me and willing to help where she could. Her enthusiasm and positivity made the difficult times of wedding planning feel way less stressful. When we had difficulties with a vendor just days before the wedding, she totally put my mind at ease and told me she’d work everything out — and she did! On our wedding day she was equally reliable and amazing and the whole day went really smoothly and we got to enjoy it without worrying and everything looked beautiful. I literally can’t imagine what our wedding day would’ve been like without Destiny, and I completely recommend her to anyone who wants to hire a coordinator that they can trust to think of every detail and make everything happen just the way you’d want it!!

Bring on all the joy, laughter, tears, letting go and holding close. I want to capture these connections, so that you can have photos to hold in your hand and remind you what it felt like the day you were married. You deserve to celebrate without feeling as if you are on a daylong photoshoot — I will help you to really live your wedding day. Let's live your life celebrations and let go of “supposed to do.” If you find yourself craving a wedding day experience that is more enjoying the day and less about all day posing, you are in the right spot.

Look no further for your wedding photographer. Kelly was an absolute delight to work with from the very beginning, and we couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out. We've gotten so many compliments on our photos from our family and friends... Kelly simply nailed it. Thank you, Kelly!

Alissa with Sweet Bliss Media was very personable and easy to connect with. On my wedding day, she made me feel like it was her life's mission to make me feel and look beautiful in my photographs. Amidst all the craziness of your wedding day, it felt nice to have someone by your side to bring out the beauty. Who is not just there as a photographer for hire, but a forever friend capturing the special moments. Alissa also did things that she was not asked or contracted to, but just out of the kindness of her heart. She brought me bottled water to ensure that I stayed hydrated and even stayed later than we had originally laid out in the contract to make sure that my send-off was captured! She is a sweetheart and even though the photography was the biggest bill of the wedding budget, it was worth every penny, even my husband agrees. The finished product is absolutely stunning and we can’t wait to use her again for our family photos!! We highly recommend Alissa to all brides looking for a wedding photographer.

Hello!! I am Camille! I am passionate about preserving every moment from your special day - particularly those intimate moments of togetherness amid the crazy! ❤️ I am an all-inclusive photographer and very easy going; more on the quiet side, but I can wrangle a crowd if I need to. 😉 If you like goofy comedies, folk and pop music, and loving people how Jesus does, we'll get along just perfectly! I prefer to capture everyone in sweet and candid looking moments rather than being traditionally posed but I do a bit of both! I would love to get to know you and your future spouse - just send me a message any time!

Harvest Moon Photography/Camille is a fantastic choice for photography. This is the second time we used her, first time was for some romantic photos in the forest. She’s easy to communicate with through text and always has suggestions for outfits depending on the look we’re going for. From the start of each session, her communication is fun, efficient, and exciting. The quality of her work is truly elegant, dreamy, and represents our love for each other in a way I couldn’t dream of. The photos are always captured so beautifully and shows the joy of our love. Camille sent out sneak peaks almost immediately and sent out the final results quicker than we were quoted. We're thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Harvest Moon Photography to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photos.

Our first kiss was on the beach, under a star-filled sky, on my favorite island, only home to shells, bioluminescent creatures, and wild horses. Soon after, as two very young humans (21 and 23), we were married. As newlyweds we set off on an adventure, kayaking from Maine to Key West. On that trip, we realized how much we valued spending all our time together and being in charge of our schedule. This business is how we live out that dream.

We could not have imagined better photographers for our wedding day! We met them to get engagement pictures and we had so much fun- we were so worried about being awkward but they made us feel comfortable! And for the wedding day, they got the best shots and were so involved in the wedding without seeming like they were in the way. We got so many compliments on them day of and especially after seeing their work! Highly highly recommend them!!

Her work truly preserves the joy of our wedding, and she had our photos to us quickly so we could relive the memories. Stephanie made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and was open to our suggestions while also rolling with the punches seamlessly. There were a lot of "go-with-the-flow" moments at our wedding, especially with a hawk involved! She was our sole photographer for both our elopement and our reaffirmation ceremony, and we are so grateful she was there to capture both of these meaningful events.

On the day of the wedding, he arrived early, was incredibly professional, and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera.

Bill Carroll was more than a DJ at my mom's wedding. He genuinely cared about my mom's wishes and made it clear he wanted her to have the best wedding ever. It's like he became a member of our family leading up to and during the wedding. He made the entire process SO easy. When it came to the actual wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. My favorite part was when everyone left to line up and send off my mom and her new hubby, he played one final song for just the two of them to dance to, by themselves, on the dance floor. It was so incredibly touching. I can't recommend him enough. Absolute stand up guy and a DJ who knows what he's doing! Everyone had a blast. We love you, Bill Carroll!

No trends, no awkward poses. Just love, laughter and emotion.  While photographs are one of the few things you walk away from your wedding with, they aren’t the sole purpose of your event. You are there to get married, see your people, and celebrate this moment in your life. The photographs come far after that. This day is all about your love for each other. However you naturally stand together, embrace each other, whether you visit people on different sides of the room or hold hands all day, whatever story you tell on your wedding day is going to be preserved as such. Weddings are just love stories wrapped up into one day.

Taylor was amazing. So professional and fun. She was amazing at directing my now husband and I on what poses and things to do in photos. I was grateful for this because we both can be a bit awkward but she made us feel like vogue models on our wedding day. It was the least stressful part of our whole day. I’m can’t recommend her more!

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

Faith is one of the most intentional people I’ve met — she was there every step of the way during wedding planning to support us and provided so much comfort and overall good vibes on the day of! I felt so at ease the entire wedding day, and I credit that to our incredible vendor team, Faith and her team included. I received so many sneak peek pics just under a week after my wedding (a few I got almost immediately!!), and it was amazing to be able to relive those moments already and share them with friends and family. Seeing how she captured these moments, big and small, makes me SO excited to see the final gallery!!! Her editing style is simply gorgeous — it was the main reason I reached out to her initially — but she’s also just a wonderful friend and human. When you already feel like you know someone, it makes it so much easier to be your authentic selves in front of the camera, and for that to shine through in photos. We both have so much love for Faith and are forever grateful she was there to document the beginning of the newest chapter of our love story

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

Makeup artistry has been my passion for years, with over 8 years experience, and being a certified professional makeup artist. I have worked with Estée Lauder, Lancôme, and Clinique as a beauty advisor/makeup artist. I look forward to being apart of your special day!

Christen Makeup Artistry was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From the moment I reached out to her, her communication was prompt, pleasant, and reliable. Christen and her partner did an incredible job on my makeup as well as the makeup for my 8 bridesmaids - we all felt like the most beautiful versions of ourselves! Their attention to detail and high-quality work truly made me feel like a million bucks. Christen was able to accommodate my large bridal party with plenty of time to spare, and the compliments we received all night long were a testament to their amazing skills. I would recommend Christen Makeup Artistry to any bride looking for full glam services - they truly saved my day after my original makeup artist cancelled a few months out, and I am so grateful for their professionalism and talent.

Would choose Melanie again and again. I actively recommend her to friends and acquaintances who say they’re engaged. She is super friendly, upbeat and good at her job. She blends in well and there are pictures that I don’t even remember her being there for. We had our photo shoot time, our candid time and I feel like she allowed the day to run how we wanted it to while also getting all the pictures we wanted.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

We had a great experience with Mae! She made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole shoot and made sure we got a bunch of great photos in some gorgeous locations. Post-shoot she put in so much effort editing our photos to make sure they were perfect once they were turned around to us which didn't take long at all. Highly highly recommend Mae for any photoshoot needs you might have!

I believe in the amazing blessing of God giving us people in our lives to stand beside us long after the aisle. When the big day comes to a storybook end, you will leave your beautifully decorated ceremony and reception with your forever partner...and your pictures.  All of that planning and preparation is preserved in your images, so you'll want them to be high quality, elegant and authentic so that you can enjoy reminiscing over them for anniversaries to come.

When we met Brandy, we felt an immediate connection. We knew instantly Brandy was the perfect photographer for our daughter’s wedding day. Her professionalism coupled with the ability to place everyone at ease resonates in the photos. The wedding party was extraordinarily large and Brandy rose above and beyond the challenge. Brandy’s passion for her art/craft is contagious. Her engaging energy and enthusiasm carried the day. Brandy’s innate ability to see beyond the lens is phenomenal. Brandy captured so many special moments not only those we anticipated but so many more that we had not considered. The photos magically take us back to every special moment of the wedding day and will definitely become a timeless family heirloom shared & treasured by future generations.

I fell in love with photography about 15 years ago when I started travelling the world. I was always coming back home and showing my family and friends pictures that I'd taken while away from home. I used to have multiple scrapbooks with photos and small stories attached to them. My heart fell in love with photojournalism. Telling someone's story through photos is my favorite thing to do. And when it comes to weddings, I prefer to photograph everything from the very beginning all the way to the end of the day. To capture all the small details of your day and all the smiles.

Awarded Best of Zola
We really loved Daria as a photographer and think this was a great choice to hire her for our engagement photos! I especially love how the final edits turned out. She was very open to communication from the get-go, and tried to be as accommodating as possible. She always took care of all the communications herself, and that alone made it more personal than the other professionals we talked with. With our crazy working schedule we aren’t always able to make time in the evening and Daria worked with us through that as well. I’m really glad I was able to work with her!

I love capturing the unseen, messy, and perfectly imperfect photos that you never even knew you wanted. I live for those emotive, raw, storytelling moments. I take a documentary approach to my work with a little bit of editorial; My style is candid and my focus is authentic connection through my images. If I were to describe my style; VIBRANT | RICH | BOLD+COLORFUL.

Working with Jeny was an amazing experience from start to finish. Her professionalism, preparedness, and ability to be so personable were just bonuses to her incredible photography. My engagement and wedding photos are timeless, emotive, elegant, fun, and everything I wanted. This was by far the best investment I made for my wedding. These photos mean everything to my husband and I! She’s an absolute sweetheart and such a pleasure to work with. If you’re thinking about booking with her, this is your sign!!

Casey was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From our first conversation, she was responsive, asked thoughtful questions to understand what we envisioned, and clearly explained what her packages offered. Casey made us feel at ease through a process that can be stressful. On the wedding day, she blended seamlessly to capture candid moments while also efficiently directing some posed family photos. The end result told the story of our wedding beautifully through clean, visually striking images that we will treasure. The quality of Casey's work far exceeded our expectations for what we paid. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any couple looking for a talented photographer who will capture the essence of your special day.
