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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley is a top-tier wedding photographer. We did an engagement session with her prior to booking her for the wedding, and she was quick to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. After booking the wedding with her, Ashley gave us many vendor recommendations and even helped us find our officiant since that was something that we were struggling with. At some point between the engagement session and wedding, Ashley called us and told us that a conflict with our wedding date came up and that she needed to be out of state that day. She had already come up with a few options to present to us, and we chose to keep our contract and let a different photographer fill-in for Ashley. Ashley knew this photographer, had worked with her before, and trusted her. And we trusted Ashley. Having the other photographer fill-in for Ashley worked out seamlessly and I was never worried about it because of all of the discussions we had. The week before the wedding we had a final consult call with Ashley & the other photographer where we discussed every last detail. This was great because it put us all on the same page, plus let us voice our opinion on a few topics (timeline details/what types of photos to prioritize/etc.). I left this call feeling confident that the photographer knew what needed to be done on the day of the wedding and that I wouldn't have to worry whatsoever that she would miss anything. I would book Ashley all over again EVEN if I knew that she wouldn't be the one actually taking the photos!

Hi!! I'm Jen, the heart and soul behind Jen Marie Imagery! I'm passionate about creating unforgettable memories through my lens. Beyond being a dedicated photographer, I'm a coffee lover, taco enthusiast, concert junkie, Netflix aficionado, and proud pet parent. My journey with photography started as a childhood passion, using up all my mom's film on disposable cameras. What began as a hobby transformed into my life's calling in 2016 when I booked my first wedding. From that moment, I knew I had found my true purpose. There’s nothing I love more than photographing love!

I had the pleasure of working with Jen for a wedding back in November of 2023. She was great! From the get go, she was nice, and easy to work with. Very patient and communicative. She payed attention to every little detail, and those are what matters the most. Weeks later, I saw her pictures from that wedding, they were stunning! Very unique poses and ideas that she captured. I can not wait to work with her again. If you’re looking for your wedding photographer, don’t hesitate to reach out to her!

Hey! I’m Adam, a wedding videographer obsessed with love based in Detroit, Michigan. Marrying the love of my life inspired me to pick up a camera and start documenting all the unique ways love is expressed. Capturing couples in the moment not only preserves a memory — it allows us to revisit the unparalleled feeling of a first kiss as a married couple or the shock of discovering your third cousin has serious dance moves.

Adam was absolutely incredible to work with from the very beginning! We were initially drawn to him because of his amazing work but after our initial planning call, we were totally sold. His calm demeanor was so helpful on our wedding day. He quickly and seamlessly fit in with our wedding party and guests. He made us feel SO comfortable and gave us the freedom to be 100% ourselves. He was kind, professional and a ton of fun. It’s obvious how much Adam genuinely loves his job and we were blown away when he produced our teaser video literally hours after leaving our wedding. We are so excited to see the full film and honestly wish we could think of more reasons to have Adam film us (lol). If you are considering hiring videography services for your wedding, our only advice is to run, don’t walk to book Adam at Ewbank Films!

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!).

Taylor is hands down the best photographer I have ever worked with! If you want to feel comfortable, someone to listen to your wants and needs, someone who travels wherever, makes things fun you absolutely need to book her! She has done not only all our family photos but all our engagement photos and even tried to fly her out to our destination wedding but I booked to late and missed out. (One thing from my wedding I truly regret) Not only does she work well with you but her work speaks for itself. Do not miss out on booking her you will absolutely regret it!

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!

Celebrating love is the best high for me, and getting to do this job where I not only see love, but see the connection, those free-spirit giggling moments, and those ugly real moments… that is what truly keeps my world spinning. My art is all about honey-kissed warmth and sweet fire-burnin’ connections. It’s about capturing and sharing those intimate moments that feel like movie moments, real love in raw form.

We just did an engagement shoot with Caroline and we love our photos!!! They are so amazing, I added one of my faves. It’s so clear in our results how amazing and creative she is at her job. It’s funny bc in the moment it can feel so awkward and unflattering and then I see the results and i’m amazed at how great they are and how beautiful I feel in each one. Caroline has been nothing short of fantastic to work with she makes it so easy. I am certain she was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer and I am beyond excited!

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.

When it came to our engagement session she gave us ideas for locations and just made the whole experience so fun and easy. My husband hates his photos being taken and he enjoyed our engagement session and loved talking to Sydney's husband who was with her. When it came to our wedding day, Sydney has this awesome questionnaire that answers everything! There were questions on there I never even thought about!! She showed up early and found places for portraits and checked in on me. She's just the sweetest and made our day so special, even through the stressful parts. She was a blast at our reception dancing with everyone on the dance floor while taking photos, like I said she made the day even better. We were sitting in our hotel room the night of our wedding and I got a Facebook notification from Sydney Marie Photography, Sydney had posted 10 photos from our wedding, I couldn't believe it and it made me so happy. I can't thank Sydney enough for everything, if you're looking for a photographer do not hesitate and hire her.

I aim to professionally document the wonders of your celebration in a way that feels easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for you. My creative background provides a unique aspect to my photography. It combines high-quality and top-of-the-range equipment with an individual perspective.

When you are hiring Veera, you are not getting yourself a photographer, you are roping in a magician, and the master of capturing emotion. Veera covered my wedding that spanned 3 days, and was filled with events, music, dance, color and laughter. I have never met someone as professional, fun, kind, accommodating and talented as him. He was the best vendor I worked with through the wedding planning. He knows exactly what to do, the shots to take and angles to capture. His skill and talent will immortalize many an occasion, and with guarantee, compel you to relive the joyous event. The hues in his pictures are the most vibrant combination and contrasts, and you will soon learn that he’s elusive to normal surfers of wedding websites on the Internet, and rightfully so, for he is your surprise find. Should you ever have the good fortune of landing his services, you will look at the outcome and realize that he has put his time and soul into it. I do not wax eloquent about people for any reason other than the fact that they simply deserve it and he is one of the very few people I’ve ever written this for. I can count on my fingertips the people that I’ve left reviews. Veera, bless your heart, you’re a great guy, with the gift of photography from God, but you enhance it with your good nature, absolute professionalism, sense of timing and the oodles of creativity you possess. I do not wish to have any other photographer for any milestone of my life will follow this. Hire him without the slightest doubt and he will make your moments look like they’re straight from a magazine, without all the fuss and with everything that’s real and tugs at your heart.

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.

Mary was absolutely marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since. Whether it's local events or adventures across the globe, I’m all about creating stunning, authentic images for my incredible clients. Let’s make magic together!

Kirsten Wray Photography was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Kirsten's communication style was direct, effective, and genuinely sweet - she immediately put us at ease as a couple who doesn't usually love being in front of the camera. Despite having a huge family that was challenging to wrangle, Kirsten was professional, prompt, and thorough in getting all the group shots we wanted. The finished photos are of excellent quality and editing, capturing all the special moments of our day in a way that exceeds our expectations. Kirsten went above and beyond to deliver amazing photos, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend Kirsten Wray Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Stephanie was great to work with from beginning to end. The flowers were beautiful! We would definitely recommend Keepsake Designs. We received many compliments. She did a wonderful job on the arrangements using inspiration photos from my daughter including making pocket boutonnières for the groomsmen. She also provided glass vases for the bridesmaids to display their bouquets at the bridal table. I was kept up to date via text with delivery as well as clean up. We received quotes from 3 other florists and Stephanie was by far the most reasonably priced. I wish I had better pictures to share since we don't have the photographers' photos as yet, but we had a 26' garland for the chapel, flowers attached to every other row, bouquets for 7 bridesmaids and the bride, 7 pocket boutonnières for the groomsmen and the groom, 2 regular boutonnieres for the fathers, 2 corsages for the mothers and then 12 centerpieces.

We currently service over 25 metropolitan areas throughout the lower 48, and provide musical entertainment for hundreds of events every year. Our past clients include The United Nations, Lockheed Martin, Nationwide Auto Insurance, The Shell Oil Corporation, and many more. No event is too small or large for us. Louis Pettinelli Entertainment has musical ensembles that range from a soloist to a 15 piece party band, and everything in between!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

I have had multiple encounters with Kyla and Akachi Media. She created a promo video for me that showcased my work as an event planner. It was BEYOND what I imagined it would be. It was clean, professional, and received a lot of praise from my clients as well as friends and family. The video portrayed my work, in a way that directly aligned with my brand and ultimate vision for my company. I am still swooning over it, months later. Kyla also took my professional headshots. It is very rare to find someone who knows your angles immediately and portrays you as if you took the photo yourself! Her work is flawless. She will always have my business.

I'm Erin. I'm a photographer, traveler, and wide-eyed wonderer. I split my time between the Midwest and my bungalow near the beach in Oceanside, CA. My favorite pastimes include exploring Disneyland, watching Schitts Creek & Ted Lasso, and cuddling my dog. I have a loud laugh. I love cabernet franc, chocolate chip cookies, and I'm on a constant search for the best tacos in the world.

Erin was just so easy to work with from the first point of communication on email prior to the wedding to tidying up before to during the wedding and after. It's a full service experience and she is just easy-going and great at capturing the moments! I even saw her dancing and enjoying herself during the Money Dance- so fun! Highly Recommend

Julie from Riddle Road Photography became a lifelong friend through photographing our wedding. She is amazing and willing to hike into a state park for beautiful photos (sorry Julie!) Everything she does captures the true couple versus a completely staged moment. I loved every photo she sent to us.

I have worked in Healthcare for almost 7 years. I'm blessed to be able to do Photography in my free time and now make it a full time second income.

Capture every moment. Wanna know more about me? Message me and let's chat soon.

Me and my fiancé were newbies at getting our photos taken and Mackenzie helped to ease our nerves by giving us great direction. The turn around time was sooner than expected and I am obsessed with how our photos turned out. Will definitely book with Small Beginnings photography in the future and highly recommend to others as well!

I've been specializing in weddings for nearly 15 years. My style includes capturing the many genuine moments that occur during the wedding day in an unobtrusive and low key way. Documenting the day in an artistic and non cheesy way really tells the story of a couple's big day. I feed off the energy from couple's and their guests and craft a story of their day through photos. On a personal note, I have a loving wife, 3 kids and 2 dogs!

He would be a Blessing to have perform for any occasion. I highly recommend this wonderful artist.
