Kaitlin Jude Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Trufant, MI

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.

My husband and I had the greatest experience working with Kaitlin, I cannot say enough good things about her! We both are not super comfortable being in front of the camera and she made the entire experience so comfortable for us and so fun! She brought the best vibes to our day and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and wedding day hype girl! I am so lucky to have found her and we would love to work with her again!! I know booking with a vendor that you never met before can be stressful but Kaitlin made us feel so at ease and comfortable. Her portfolio really speaks for itself. She does amazing work and we LOVE how the pictures turned out as well! She just captured the day so perfectly! We highly recommend working with Kaitlin for your big day!

Gabrielle Cynthia Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Trufant, MI

Hey! I’m a wedding photographer based in Central Michigan, and for the past five years, I’ve been capturing love in all its joyful, emotional, beautifully real forms. My style is laid-back and documentary—I’m all about the soft looks, loud laughs, and in-between moments you’ll want to remember forever. Weddings are my favorite thing to photograph, hands down. When I’m not working, I’m probably out with my dogs, reading, or hanging with my husband (snacks included). I’d be so honored to tell your story in a way that feels like you.

When Gabbie’s taking your pictures, you don’t feel like she’s posing you. She takes the time to bring out that true smile that brings out your best side without feeling like you’re being told what to do or how to look. The photos you’ll get when you use her as a photographer will display who you are and expose the angles you never knew you would love.

We hired Phern for our June 2021 wedding. She also took our engagement photos. They are the best photos we have ever received from a photographer! She knows exactly how to pose people and for candid photos. She doesn't have to look at other pictures to know where to put you or trying to decide. She has a wide knowledge of what to do. She is so fun to work with too! We loved her personality and was down to earth, which was great for us on what can be such a hectic day. She even helped bustle my train with 5 bustle points many times throughout the day. She was absolutely incredible to work with and we plan on working with her again. Hire her! You will not regret it!

However, Madisun possesses an incredible talent for taking even the smallest idea and transforming it into something truly magical. Our wedding took place at the iconic Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, a venue with so much potential but also a unique set of challenges. Madisun completely exceeded our expectations. She masterfully transformed the space into a breathtaking dreamscape, capturing a romantic and sophisticated atmosphere that perfectly reflected us as a couple. What truly set Madisun apart was her ingenuity in utilizing the planetarium for our ceremony. It was a truly unforgettable experience, and a testament to her creativity and ability to think outside the box. Madisun's attention to detail was impeccable. She coordinated seamlessly with all the vendors, ensuring everything ran flawlessly. From the décor and lighting to the timeline and logistics, every aspect of our wedding was handled with professionalism and care.

  • Serves Trufant, MI

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.

My name is Alicia, and I'm a designer/photographer living in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am so thankful that I am able to capture the love stories of real people and provide them with honest, unposed images that they will cherish for the rest of their lives. Thank you for stopping by. I would love to work with you. Let's chase some light together.

We will treasure Alicia’s photos FOREVER. She was so amazing to have around on our big day and made us feel totally comfortable and at ease. 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 :)
