Heather Martinez Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Sterling, MI for additional fees

I started my journey as a portrait & fashion photographer, primarily in London, England working with modeling agencies before moving to America with my husband 6 years ago. I would describe my style as modern, moody, and timeless. More so after raising my two boys, I began changing my photography direction toward couples & their unique love stories. I strive to capture each raw moment that truly captures this memorable day for you both. With an editorial background from the likes of Vogue, I also incorporate romantic poses that truly make each couple shine. This guarantees beautiful imagery to look back on for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
My Husband and I had an AMAZING time shooting with Heather! She was very personable and great at giving direction! When we got the photos back I screamed because they looked like they were straight out of a magazine! If you want a warm moody editorial feel for your wedding you’ve just found the BEST option!

Hi! My name is Jacqueline and I've been in the photography industry for almost a decade. I believe that when I pick up my camera, I am there to tell a story. On your wedding day, I am there to document a new chapter of your love story. I capture all the intimate moments of your day, and then some!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot even begin to describe how amazing it was to work with Jacqueline for our wedding this past weekend. She was extremely easy-going, communicative, professional, and always quick to respond for the entire year leading up to our wedding. So it came as no surprise that on our wedding day she absolutely crushed it. She captured our day so seamlessly. She was never in the way, never made us uncomfortable and just blended into the background in all the right ways. She made the wedding party and family photos process quick and painless which I know from experience can sometimes prove to be a disaster or just unorganized and chaotic at weddings. I was even MORE blown away when she delivered some photos the morning after our wedding after probably being up super late after getting home from our wedding. Talk about going above and beyond and exceeding expectations!!! I could not have asked for a better photographer to play such a huge part in our big day and I would recommend Jacqueline to ANYONE. Thank you so much Jacqueline!!!!! - Ben and Lindsay

Awarded Best of Zola
Nataly Hope Makeup is a necessity for your event! During my bridal trial, she was incredibly patient and knowledgeable as I was unsure of the exact “look” I wanted for my day. She guided me towards my true vision with her inspiration and even took the time to do two variations - super beneficial! On wedding day, she exhibited the exact peace and kindness I needed surrounding me as I prepared for those moments right before the ceremony. She was full of joy and certainly made me look radiant, but more importantly…she made me FEEL radiant as she complimented natural beauties and found ways to accentuate my facial features instead of hiding them. The only regret you’ll have regarding Nataly Hope Makeup is if you don’t book her!

Let's have some real talk for a minute... YOUR WEDDING SHOULD BE A PURE REFLECTION OF YOUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER. Whatever that means for the two of you. It does not have to be an event of pressure and outside expectations. This is the beginning of your greatest adventure and it should make you tingle with excitement and joy. We are whole-hearted believers in this, so we are here to help you every step of the way. If you’re down for a little bit of adventure and a whole lot of magic, let’s grab a drink, get to know each other, and start telling your story!

Awarded Best of Zola
When looking for a photographer, my (now) husband and I knew we didn’t want anything traditional. We didn’t want stiff looking pictures with someone just sitting there and posing us for hours on end or someone who we couldn’t be ourselves around. We knew before we even got engaged we wanted to travel for our wedding and make an adventure out of it. After hours of research, we finally found Kindred Co Weddings. It only took one video call to know she was the one. Olivia immediately made us feel comfortable and welcome. She was so helpful with all of her tips and suggestions. Planning a wedding is known for being stressful but Olivia made it the easiest process. Once the wedding day arrived, I had no stress - both her and her husband, Bryan, directed the entire day based on our wants and made it easily the most dreamy day! It was like going on an adventure with old friends - half the time I forgot there was a camera there, everything came so natural. I couldn’t ask for better people to share one of the most intimate and special moments of my life with. I feel extremely confident recommending Kindred Co to anyone and everyone I know. The sneak peeks we were able to see exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be happier. My only regret is not adding on the videography to my package!

I love mexican food, cats (and dogs!), and iced coffee. Books are my best friends, and I also double as a yoga teacher when I'm not doing photography related things.

I studied photography at Savannah College of Art and Design and started my freelance photography career when I graduated in 2016!

Hi! My name is Abby Law, owner of Abby Law Photography! I was born & raised in Grand Rapids MI, but for the the last five years, I have been living in Tennessee. I am based out of the Nashville area! I have been working in the wedding industry since Oct 2022, and I have loved every second of it! I married the love of my life in Dec 2023 which only made my heart swell more & more for not only photography and this business of mine, but for the deeper meaning of marriage itself, and what it truly means to marry your Beloved! Although I am primarily based in Nashville, I LOVE to travel, and will travel to wherever you are!

Abby has been a second shooter for me a couple of times and she is incredible! I absolutely love working with her, she is the BEST!

Barefoot Royalty Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Sterling, MI for additional fees

Hi, I'm Christine! I specialize in capturing & preserving love stories for the romantic and madly in love couple; whether you’re engaged, getting married, celebrating your anniversary, or just because - I’m here for it! I want to ensure you have an unforgettable experience that allows you to truly focus on your relationship and the love you feel for each other. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my hubby and fur-babies. I absolutely love to travel and explore new places, so if you want to take me to another state, or abroad, I’m totally game!

We booked Christine with Barefoot Royalty for our wedding after meeting her at a bridal expo in Statesboro, GA. The Queen of Hearts package was the one that best suited our needs, which included an engagement session as well. My husband and I decided that we would like to have our session at the river on his dad’s property and Christine was on board and filled with excitement from the start! Little did she know our session would involve a dog, canoe, boat, champagne, and a very awkward couple. With all of these props, obstacles, and survival taking pictures from a moving riverboat in the Ogeechee, Christine got us through our engagement session. We were instantly blown away after our pictures arrived within the timeframe given! Our wedding day quickly arrived and was exciting, fun, and busy right from the start. Christine had a photography schedule for us to follow and worked as hard as possible to keep all of us on track (which was a VERY challenging task in itself). After the ceremony, Christine recommended “golden hour” pictures while our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour. As much as I was excited to start visiting and celebrating with our guests, I am so happy she encouraged us to take the time because the pictures are PERFECT! The week of the wedding, we decided to book an extra hour with Christine to be able to capture more of our reception. Honestly, aside from booking Barefoot Royalty in the first place, this may have been our best decision yet! She and her second shooter stayed until 9 PM and captured so many fun reception pictures that we would not have had otherwise! Christine stayed in touch as the weeks passed while we waited for our full gallery to arrive… and boy were they worth the wait!!! Being able to relive our wedding day through the pictures has been so much fun. We are blown away by the talent she has, attention to detail, and how everything turned out. We would highly recommend Barefoot Royalty Photography for your engagement/wedding photos and would book with Christine every time if we had to do it over again!! Hands down the BEST experience and we were most definitely given the ROYALTY treatment! Thanks for everything! - Shelby and Ryan

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your story in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

My love for photography started when I was young, and flourished as I continued to educate myself in the art and technicalities of photography while attending the College for Creative studies where I received my BFA in Photography in 2016. I absolutely LOVE love, and my biggest goal on your wedding day or during your session is to make sure you're constantly smiling, laughing, and enjoying every moment you experience. I love all of the little moments in life, and I try to showcase those emotions and feelings through every image I capture. I'm based in Lower Michigan, but I am more than happy to travel worldwide for you!

Chrissy was a dream to work with, she took my vision of what I wanted and tan with it. She was always at the right place at the right time. Our photos are gorgeous.

Hello Friends, my name is Moira and I'm a professional portrait and wedding photographer based in Raleigh, North Carolina although I'm available for travel and love meeting new people everywhere! I'm super passionate about what I do and love creating and capturing genuine, candid, and timeless moments. I'm there to capture the joy, laughter, beauty, and raw emotion of your wedding day. I love it when my couples are able to get comfortable enough with me to go with the flow and enjoy themselves.

Moira was the best photographer we could have hoped for! Not only was she flexible in the ever changing craziness of the day, but she made it so fun! We laughed pretty much the whole day through and it literally felt like we were working with a friend. On top of all that, the photos that we’ve received so far are absolutely amazing! She really captured the best parts of the entire day.

I’m an introverted extrovert. And although I’m a terrible singer, I love to chant my favorite songs – everything from T. Swift to hip hop – when I’m in the car! I love tiramisu and coffee with too much milk. Scarves are one of my must-have accessories! I’m addicted to design of all kinds – interior, landscape, graphic, food, fashion, all of it. Childhood memories include Strawberry Shortcake dolls, Fashion Plates, and Fruity Pebbles cereal. And I always had a camera nearby, just like my Dad. Little did I know what an impact these early days would have on my future!

Stephanie is so awesome!! She was able to capture every moment on our day, big and small! Aside from the obvious talent she has to take amazing pictures- she’s an even better person and so fun to work with! She also has so much knowledge about weddings, and she really helped our day run smoothly.

I am a midwesterner, born and raised in the burbs north of Chicago who strives to capture moments that are gone in a second, impossible to reproduce, but with the help of an artist touch, can last a lifetime. I'm here to connect with you, listen to you, create with you, and provide a stress-free, comfortable atmosphere from start to finish. 3 things about myself, I have 3 dogs (yes, its crazy LOL), I am in loveee with Target, and coffee and mango froyo are my love languages.

Nichole is the best choice you can make for photography for your wedding day! She has a special ability to make all of her couples feel amazing. We love how our gallery came out and she did an amazing job getting pictures without them feeling forced or awkward. We had so much fun having her capture our day. Throughout the planning process, she was always available for a phone call and responsive via email to our questions. Thank you Nichole for everything, you are the best!

Maria is kind, bubbly, and patient, making us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. I am in awe of how natural and effortless each photo looked. She was never afraid to give suggestions when it came to creative poses or different scenic spots to shoot at. We both felt very at ease having her involved in our wedding planning. She even came up with a timeline for our wedding day, which made the entire planning process a breeze. I wholeheartedly recommend Maria Lewis for any of your photography needs!

Vanity to Vows LLC specializes in wedding hair! Not only is styling/shaping the only thing we do, we also travel to you not only for your wedding day but your trial as well!!! I do everything in my power to keep my prices as fair as possible. My goal is to add to your day, not make you feel defeated by the price.

I can’t say enough good things about Krystal. From the moment I met her for my hair trial I knew I had made the right choice. She is so professional, personable and was amazing to work with! She takes her time and creates the most beautiful hair! My entire bridal party looked phenomenal and everyone’s hair lasted all day/night through 80 degree heat. She travels to where you are which is SO convenient. I had a total of 8 people getting hair done and we started at 8:30 and we’re done by 2. I would recommend her over and over again to any bride! You will not be disappointed!
