  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Sanford, MI

Hey, I’m Miranda! An avid lover of natural light and heartfelt love stories. With a romantic spirit, I would be honored to capture the moments that make your wedding day uniquely yours. Serving couples across Michigan, my goal is to create stunning, timeless images that you and your loved ones will treasure for years to come.

Miranda Joly Photography was the perfect wedding photographer for our special day. Miranda was timely and straightforward. Her passion for her work and flexibility showed in her results (our photos). Miranda made me feel so comfortable on my wedding day, helping set expectations and ensuring everything was planned and ready to go. She got some of the best shots of us and our friends and family on the dance floor. I would highly recommend Miranda Joly Photography to anyone looking for a wedding (or any other type of) photographer. She made us feel so comfortable, beautiful, and happy on our day. We had lots of video chats and emails to set expectations and review everything before, during, and after the wedding.

Hello, hello! My name is Taylor Zinn! I am based out of Harrison, MI. A small town right in the middle of the mitten. ​ Besides photography my favorite roles are being married to my best friend of 11 years and raising our two kiddos, 2 y/o & 9 y/o. I live for warm ocean views and pretending I have free time to read books. I'll have a full collection ready for the day I finally retire! Coffee is the real m.v.p and The Office reruns will always be on in the background (after Bluey has ended of course!).

  • Serves Sanford, MI

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.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible Mary is. From the moment we booked her, we knew we had made the right choice. Mary meticulously crafted mood boards, timelines and provided invaluable advice from the engagement shoot to the wedding. She has a warm and vibrant spirit that makes you feel comfortable and excited. We found many times throughout the wedding day we felt most calm with Mary while taking pictures. You won’t find another photographer like her, willing to go the extra mile to deliver a vision. We cannot thank Mary enough for our beautiful photos. They are mementos of a perfect day we will cherish forever.

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.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

I am a luxury destination photographer based in MICHIGAN, COLORADO & FLORIDA! I am ALL over Michigan and all over the nation! I have a home in Lansing, Holland & Traverse City. I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Dani did our wedding in 2022 and we have already had 3 more sessions with her and another on the books for this year. We also did our engagement session with her before we were married :) We are so thankful she has been someone that can document our lives as we grow!! She is AMAZING to work with and her photos are pure magic. It's really something that we haven't gotten bored from using her through the years, haha. But seriously, she seems to offer something a little different each time and oh my gosh we are still so blown away everytime we get our photos back from her!! We've even sent more of our family to her so she's basically become our whole extended family photographer :D

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 grew up in a small, rural town in Southern Michigan where I married my high school sweetheart. I first dabbled in photography in high school but perfected my craft while living on a Marine base in California where my husband was stationed. It was here that I was able to capture special moments for friends who became family and those wanting memories to last forever. I have since moved back to my hometown, where I raise my two beautiful daughters with my husband. Quickly, I learned that weddings are my passion in photography and I want to continue to help others capture the best day of their life! I simply love love!

Working with Chelsea is like hanging out with a good friend all while she makes sure you look your best. I could not have asked for a better person to be my photographer!

My name is Brettina and I am a wedding and family photographer. I live in Michigan but travel all over the world! My goal is to make you feel comfortable and beautiful, because you are. As a part of the LGBTQ+ community, I strive for inclusivity in my personal life as well as my photography. I am a huge advocate for capturing the world you see before you and not a fake perception of that world. I am welcoming of all and will photograph all regardless of race, religion, gender expression and identity, sexual orientation, age, size, ability, ethnicity, or culture. Our world is diverse and my portfolio should be too.

We loved having Brettina there for our wedding - not only is she an amazing photographer who delivered amazing work, she was so helpful! She though if everything and really helped to make sure our day went perfectly. We love our pictures and highly recommend working with her!

  • Serves Sanford, MI

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.

Lisa was absolutely amazing to work with. I got engaged in 2019 and married on May 15, 2021. I’m a wedding planner myself, so I had a lot of my timelines done early on, but Planning through a pandemic had a lot of ups and downs while working around all the state guidelines. Lisa was amazing in helping come up with ideas to help make something work in case we ultimately had to go a different route. We lucked out and got to have a wonderful day. Lisa and her second shooter (husband) put the group at ease and was wonderful posing all of us. Her pictures turned out more than we could ever imagine. So many people compliment us on all of them. I highly recommend her to anyone.

AA Studies did my wedding, and they were absolutely perfect. It was a small outdoor wedding and the weather predictions ranged anywhere from cloudy to thunderstorms. They helped me calm down and figure out options for any worst case scenarios. Luckily, the day was beautiful and they arrived exactly when they were supposed to, while being fully prepared. I had told them about some planned surprises ahead of time, and they captured all of the moments and expressions to those surprises. We had wanted to keep everything fairly simple and they were wonderful in providing concise instructions while remaining friendly and calm. The touch ups and editing were so well done, all of the pictures turned out beautifully. They truly made everything go so much more smoothly and couldn't recommend them enough!

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
From the moment we saw Breanne’s beautiful photos, we knew we wanted her to capture our day too. Her style of timeless, elegant, and true-to-the moment photos fit our vision exactly. She was the first vendor we booked after our venue and it was the easiest decision we made throughout the whole process! We booked with her in 2018 for our 2020 wedding and then COVID happened. Through two year-long postponements, Breanne was supportive and understanding. Then, when we were faced with the predicament of finding a new venue 10 months out from our 2022 wedding, she was incredibly helpful and kind – providing not only suggestions for new venues to look at, but also lending an ear as a friend and giving us advice. Picking out a new venue was stressful, but having such a caring person as Breanne in our corner meant so much to us. On the day of our wedding, Breanne and her husband, Jason, made us feel so comfortable throughout the day and helped keep things moving, even when we got behind schedule. They made us laugh and encouraged us to really feel the joy of the day. When our wedding photos were delivered, we were blown away! Breanne and Jason captured moments both big and small and looking through them is like reliving the day. We are so grateful to have such beautiful and timeless photos to cherish forever.

As a Media Company, 505 Media Co always tries to capture genuine emotions. When we capture a wedding. We have the unique opportunity to freeze that moment in time. This is a priceless treasure a couple can cherish for the rest of their lives.

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!!

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

5 STAR REVIEW! We had such an amazing experience with Prest1ge Photography! It was a toasty, sunny, fast-paced wedding day, and Caleb remembered to do all the shots we had asked for, and many more at a comfortable pace. Time flew and we went longer than expected, but he was gracious, easy to work with, and didn't allow anything to stress him out. Choosing Prest1ge was the best decision we could have made!

We are a husband and wife, photo + video duo based in Michigan. We got married in May of 2019 and started capturing special moments in 2020. In 2023 we welcomed our miracle baby, Henry, after 18+ months of infertility. If there is one thing that becoming parents has taught us, it is how fast time truly flies and how important it is to freeze each moment, bringing even more meaning and passion to this little biz of ours. When we aren't behind the camera, we are soaking in every memory with our boy and our wild animals at home. It is such a blessing to us, that you are here. We can't wait to meet you!

Cannot say enough good things about Heather and Jordan! They made us feel SO comfortable during our engagement shoot and wedding. They are also just super fun people to be around! Our wedding photos and video are something we will cherish for a lifetime! Heather was always on top of things and responsive to any questions I had. You will NOT regret choosing them :)
