I’m Katy, a Michigan based wedding + event photographer. 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, if you're into any of that, we'll get along great!

Saying yes to Meininger Media LLC capturing our wedding was the best yes of the day. Katy was so receptive of our ideas, and made them better, and had so many great suggestions. She captured so many magical moments. You can truly feel the love we had through the pictures. I will hire her to capture any magical moment in our lives. Could not recommend her any higher.

Allie Siarto & Co. Photography

East Lansing, MI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,900

I'm an editorial style wedding and portrait photographer based in East Lansing, Michigan. I photograph real people with real emotions—smiles, laughter and sentimental moments. I promise that you’re going to laugh in your photos rather than laughing at how awkward you were in your photos in years to come (unless your bangs look like mine did in junior high, in which case, I take back my promise).

Allie's photography and editing skills are second to none. She takes true to color photos, does not distort a gorgeous event with editing, and is so knowledgable about prompts to create the most natural looking photos. She doesn't do "posing" but encourages couples and clients to behave naturally and shoots them with the utmost professionalism and care. She is fun and easy to be around for an entire day and her communication is amazing. I would trust Allie with every professional photograph I need taken for the rest of time.

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 obsessed with the outdoors so a hike to an epic location is never out of the question with me. I love my Chacos, pine trees, and a dang good s'more. At home you'll find me cuddling with my two cats or dreaming about my next adventure.

Olivia saved the day for my fiancé and I!!!! When our photographer wouldn’t do our outdoor engagement shoot as originally planned and included in our wedding package, we needed to find someone who was able to last minute so we could get our Save the Dates out in time!! Olivia was up for the challenge and it was a blessing in disguise to have do our engagement shoot. She’s easy to talk to, provided great direction for my fiancé who hates cameras, made it fun, and I loved the quality of the photos! The lighting she was able to capture at sunset on the beach was literally the most beautiful I’ve ever seen! She made us laugh the entire time and we were given so many edited photos back! They were all so beautiful it was so hard to pick just one for our save the date! I wish she could be our wedding photographer but I had already put a deposit down for someone else :( YOU NEED TO BOOK HER!

Hi! My name is Jill. I dreamed that one day I would be an artist of some sort but would also have the ability to stay home with my children. I dreamed that I’d have a simple but happy life. I dreamed that my faith would grow as I did. In 2003, as I planned my own wedding, Two Ring Photography was just a glimmer in my eye. After finishing photography school in 2005 I decided to make the leap. I knew that in this one life I was given that I had to make goals and take chances. God had given me an amazing gift that I wanted to share with the world and make a career of it.

I fell in love with photography in high school and started my business after high school. I have been a photographer for 8 years and a wedding photographer for 5. Photos are memories paused in time and memories are so important to me. I absolutely love looking at old photographs and being brought back to that moment in time. I am a very easy going photographer, with a calming presence. I offer gentle guidance when it comes to posing but I love genuine, candid shots the most.

John Douglas Photography
Lansing, MI
  • Classic style

I am both experienced and innovative. I am able to pose you in ways which are natural and complimentary. I have found that each event I have photographed has presented a unique moment in time; a child eyeing the wedding cake, a groom tearing up when he sees his bride for the first time, or other candid moments. My style is traditional/classical and I tend to shy away from photographic techniques which are trendy and will not stand the test of time. I use state of the art camera and lenses as well as software to provide beautiful images. Your great grandchildren will love my images.

Arrae Photography

5.0

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves East Lansing, MI

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am known to be someone who rarely stops sharing her feelings. With Amanda, it's truly hard to find the precise words that adequately describe how amazing she is to know, let alone work with. She recently photographed our wedding... and the experience was nothing short of magical. I could list a ton of reasons I loved the experience with her and why I would recommend her to anyone, anytime, to shoot anything. However, here are a few: 1. She communicates like a champ prior to the event. Calls, emails, FaceTime, whatever - she is on it. 2. She has confidence like a boss, but is still able to take ideas/suggestions before, and during, the shoot. 3. Amanda, quite literally, fit in perfectly with our families and friends. By the end of the evening, everyone wanted to be her friend, adopt her, and make sure she got home safe. 4. As any expert in her field - she nailed making us feel comfortable during the process. (I have been with other photographers - they can get real stern, demanding, etc). 5. Her personality is a genuine, compassionate, patient, and professional one. She mixes being friendly and professionalism better than any I have ever met. 6. She was in our price range. You'd think work like Amanda's would cost you a zillion dollars - BECAUSE THE WORK IS THAT FANTASTIC, PEOPLE. However, she is significantly well priced for the hard work she provides. Well worth the memories to bond with her during the wedding AND get the artwork after. 7. She encourages you to ENJOY the moment when you forget to do so with all the business that comes with events. She helps you live in the now, which is hard to do at weddings, so you can remember what you can of the day and use her photographs later to remind you. She's got you. Again, these are just a few things - but they were HUGE to us. It's literally just bonus after bonus. She's a gift. Her talent is incredible. Do not second guess yourself if you're needing the most epic photographer and immensely kind human - please look no further. I cannot speak highly enough about her... so I guess I am grateful I could find some words for my new friend. Stop reading this and HIRE HER ALREADY! Love you, Amanda!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

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!

I can not begin to describe how amazing these girls are! I had my wedding back in August and it was absolutely perfect! Looking back at my pictures throughout the day, I could not have asked for a better team by my side! Sarah & Amber absolutely killed the photos and are two of the biggest hype women I have ever met! Throughout the entire day they were constantly there singing praises and doing anything to get genuine smiles. Andrea was the one I talked to throughout this whole process and she is absolutely amazing! She was very kind and patient with me throughout the process (I can be indecisive and really didn't fully know my editing style) and she made it work and went above and beyond with editing! All three ladies are absolutely amazing and if you need a wedding photographer/videographer - look no further!! These ladies DO NOT disappoint!

If you're reading this review because you are browsing around for a wedding/elopement/engagement photographer, look no further!! Andrea has such a unique and beautiful way of storytelling through her photography. She makes you feel extremely welcome and comfortable from the very first moment you reach out to her. The prices are very reasonable and she is transparent with the costs up front. Working with Andrea felt like reconnecting with an old friend. She gave us recommendations for lodging, restaurants, ceremony locations, etc. We were totally blown away by the beauty of the spots she took us for our elopement. We chose a location in Copper Harbor and it was so magical. Andrea made our day feel very intimate and intentional, which is exactly how we wanted it. After our day, we received a sneak peak of photos which I would have been happy if those were all we got. BUT when we received our full online gallery, I was speechless. The gallery is available for a whole year with options to download, share, and order your images in many different formats. It is so convenient being able to do all of that in one place. So if you are looking for a unique experience with high quality photos, that will have you reliving your wedding day from start to finish, hire Andrea!! You won't regret it 3

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Overall I would say Isaac and Love Knot Photography are just what I was hoping to find in a wedding photographer. Someone who is very creative, friendly, organized and experienced. I could totally trust he would see to it that my photos were taken care of in every way possible. The standard photos you would expect at a wedding and unique photos that were original to our seashore location all turned out great! The photos started as we were getting ready. Isaac took some beautiful shots of the wedding dress and important jewelry I was wearing. Abstract moments before the ceremony were a blur in my mind and it was so fun to relive the events through the behind the scenes photos. Isaac and his team got some great photos of all the little ceremonies we had scripted for the ceremony program as well as the games and activities during the reception. Taking different ideas and types of shots for the sunset photos was one of my favorite parts of the day. For me it was a chance to get away from the party for a moment and fun to work with Isaac one on one and see the ideas he had for taking some photographs that will be special forever. During our sparkler grand exit, Isaac was very helpful in organizing our guests. As well as my husband and I. The photos turned out very romantic. Some of my favorites of the whole day. Thank you Isaac and Love Knot!

Hello! My name is Tonya. First and foremost, I am a mom to a beautiful little boy (who, let's face it, is completely tired of mom's camera!). I started behind a camera almost fifteen years ago when my grandpa first showed me how to use his. I live for the click of the shutter, capturing those moments that will be gone but never forgotten. Having been a previous cast member at Walt Disney World (and other theme parks), I found that I love the organized chaos that comes with photographing a wedding. Not to mention, who doesn't adore capturing the love between two people?

Growing up, I’d lose myself in family photo albums, fascinated with freezing moments in time led me to photography, a medium that became my canvas for expressing emotions and creativity. What fuels my passion for wedding photography? It’s the profound belief in the power of love stories. In a world where adult milestones are fewer, the journey of marrying your best friend and soulmate stands out as a core memory. I find immense joy in capturing the moments when love, support, and celebration intertwine, creating memories that last a lifetime.

So there’s no “I” in team right?! While Captured Couture is the product of years of hard work that I built from the ground up. I have an amazing team because sometimes takes more than just me. For larger events or on occasions when I am already booked one of my team members will gladly assist with your event. We’ve covered hundreds of weddings together, and have refined our editing style and way of shooting to be completely consistent. You won’t be able to tell the difference. Pinky promise! No matter where you’re planning from when it clicks, it clicks.

I have to say that Jennifer and her assistant will forever be our Wedding Day Heroes. They arrived on time, they were professional from start to finish, and so kind to me and my family. I'm pretty sure they overheard my wedding day meltdown (I hope not) but they kept on pushing and made the whole day feel special. We didn't have a wedding party and I totally forgot about bustling my gown so Jennifer and her assistant got down on their hands and knees in the blistering heat in the Garden of my ceremony site and bustled my 15 button bustle. #weddinddayheros! At the reception they sat amongst our friends and family and fit right in. It was awesome. Their presence was so seamless, they are so genuine. If you feel like you might need a wedding day hero Jennifer and Captured Couture is definitely the way to go. She was able to provide us with a site with specific pictures of our choosing to share with out guest via a secure link. Our pictures came out beautifully. The album and metal prints we also gorgeous. Great quality. ENGAGEMENT SESSION/INITIAL MEETING REVIEW Jennifer is amazing. My partner and I discovered Captured Couture by looking for photographers who had done wedding at our venue (The Whitney-Detroit) and we couldn't be more excited to have Jennifer capture our wedding day. Jennifer is the best and I can't stress that enough. WE are having a small/intimate wedding and she came prepared with different packages to offer us based on what we asked for and our budget. We saw some of her work at our first meeting and her work was really good-a lot better than other work we'd seen from other photographers. My fiance, who is usually a hard sell, was sold on having Jennifer as our wedding photographer and so was I. During the next few months we worked with Jennifer to schedule our engagement session. We are very busy, and the weather was not working with us but luckily Jennifer was very accommodating. Our engagement shoot went off without a hitch. My partner and I are kind of camera shy but Jennifer made us feel like naturals and our pictures came out great. Before we left the shoot she showed us one of the pictures and we were in amazed at how incredible the picture looked. Jennifer is the BOMB.COM

I love working with Lavandula Studios!! She is very attentive to details, takes the time to get the shots, not a slouch on the job and very funny, and engaging as well!! Shows up early and keeps things moving the whole day! With her at the helm of your wedding, your pictures will be great, and they will be perfect and she always gets the wedding parties pictures done early before the ceremony and then before dinner so the couple can relax and not feel rushed!! Hire Her!! I promise you will thank you me later!!

I was looking for suggestions for photographers on facebook when I found these two lovely ladies. They were a lot of fun and easy to work with, plus they had reasonable and competitive prices. first I had them for my engagement photos. they really listened to what I wanted and even brought some of their own props. since both my then fiancé and I had never had photos like this done before, we were nervous and felt awkward, but once we got going they helped to make us feel comfortable and by the end of it we felt like besties! We had a a change of plans and ended up deciding to get married just a few months after that. The problem was that we planned our entire wedding in less than 10 days. it was super chaotic and fun, but I was so worried tat when I called them they would not be able to be our wedding photographers since it was so last minute…. BUT THEY MADE! IT! WORK! I wouldn’t have had it any other way and I 10000% recommend these ladies to everyone I know. couldn’t be happier!

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Jarrod did an amazing job on our wedding day! We were so very grateful to have him there with us. He was absolutely amazing and did a great job collaborating with our other vendors and coordinating logistics and timing of what we wanted to have done. We were so happy that we got videography done for our big day- feels like we’re reliving it each time we watch it! Highly recommend and very worth it!!!

They made the day run so much smoother! Pricing was very reasonable and the fact that they provided two videographers was a game-changer! They edited and shared the wedding footage within an expected time frame and it turned out beautiful.

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

My husband and I got married at the start of the pandemic. Who would’ve thought that not long after I met the man of my dreams the world would be turned on its head! But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did! I would positively recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event. I’m very pleased with how the pictures came out. I would like to hire her again to do some family photos.

As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Wildcrest Studio, established by Jessie Harris, is a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I aim to capture the magic of your wedding day and you as a unique couple through peerless, stunning photographs!

We used Wildcrest Studio for our 2023 wedding, after searching tons and tons of photographers to find someone who could take great candids, was in our budget, and was openly and obviously LGBTQ friendly. Jessie matched her professional wisdom with our wedding photo desires to make sure that we could pull off everything we wanted. The engagement photo session (included in our wedding package) really sealed the deal. I've never enjoyed taking photos and always felt really awkward and uncomfortable in front of a camera, but Jessie made the shoot so fun and easy that I forgot to worry. We got so many beautiful photos that really felt like they captured "us." Jessi was also great at making sure our pronouns and "titles" (bride/spouse/Mrs./etc) were right, and when a little bit of confusion lead to a mistake in our gallery, she re-uploaded the entire thing so that my wife was addressed perfectly all the way through. I would not hesitate to use Wildcrest Studio again for any of my future photography needs.

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
Best. Decision. Ever. We booked Breanne maybe two weeks after we got engaged, after pricing out a few other options. She is extremely organized and professional, provided us all the documentation we needed to review, and promptly set up an initial meeting. Once we booked her for the wedding, we scheduled engagement photos. Breanne traveled significant distances for both our engagement session and our actual wedding. Her pricing is competitive with other Detroit photographers but I really don't think her work product is competitive because she is leaps and bounds above other photographers. Take a look through her galleries and you can see why she is so highly rated - you can literally see individuals' personalities through her photos. That's what drew us to her initially, and she did not disappoint. I will say the engagement session is necessary practice, so that Breanne can get to know you and you get to know her. I don't think our wedding photos would have turned out as outstanding as they did without that practice. Prior to the wedding, Breanne was very responsive to communication and she goes above and beyond to help you with any part of your wedding - she just truly loves love. Her timeline was the backbone of my wedding and I tailored all the other vendors and reception events around her schedule. Working with Breanne was the least stressful and most enjoyable part of wedding planning. She is exceptionally professional and prepared, and yet she communicates with personalized attention that makes you feel like she's your friend helping you plan your wedding. It is the perfect mix of professional competence and genuine interest. At the actual wedding, Breanne was a rockstar. She gives you everything you need in advance to prepare, like checklists and timelines. Once there, she is a calming presence. My makeup people were running an hour behind so instead of plenty of time to get dressed and do bridal portraits, we had about ten minutes. Breanne jumped right in to assist with my MOH and I've never seen buttons get done so quickly. And she still managed to take breathtaking bridal photos in about 3 minutes. She was also flexible when she saw we weren't going to stick to the timeline, she improvised and took venue photos while she waited for me. After the wedding, she was quick and efficient with the family and bridal party photos and kept the focus on the bride and groom, which I really appreciated. She manages all expectations when it comes to gallery delivery as well. AND THE PHOTOS ARE UNBELIEVABLE. I cannot stress this enough. She provides photos that are true and authentic to who you are, and how you feel the day you get married. She is not a bystander to your wedding, just doing her job until it's on to the next wedding. She truly participates, learns the names of your bridal party, remembers the little details or special requests that are important to you, and always gets your good side. Like most couples, my groom doesn't usually like how he looks in photos. But our wedding photos were the perfect depiction of "us". Every time I go through them (which is very often) I keep thinking to myself, "yes, this is us, this is exactly how I remember that moment". A lot of wedding websites tell you not to skimp on the photos and it's true because after those 24 hours fly by, you will only have these photos to remember them. And you will not be disappointed if you chose Breanne Rochelle Photography to capture your day.

Cheleana has been able to capture some of the most important experiences in my life, in the most perfect way. Memories that because of her I’ll have forever and I am forever grateful for that! She has the best personality which makes shooting with her not only fun but sooo comfortable and natural. Especially being someone who is uncomfortable in front of the camera!

Let me start off by saying I am pretty shy and am usually not the most photogenic gal out there. You can probably imagine how anxious I was going into our wedding planning - I was pretty worried about my awkwardness in front of a camera and the impact that would have on our wedding photos. But then I met LaDonna, and that all changed! She was so nice and professional in her approach and she really took the time to help me find my confidence in front of a camera. She was really patient and encouraging and was really great at giving me some direction early on at the beginning in teaching me how to look natural; by the time it came to our real sessions, I found I was hardly even thinking about my insecurities and instead found I was just living in the moment with my husband-to-be! I feel so much more comfortable and confident in myself after having worked with LaDonna - and I couldn’t be happier with the photos!!

Emily and Dave from Yellow Tree Photography did our engagement/wedding photos, and the photos we received were absolutely incredible! For our wedding photos in particular, they captured the day so perfectly and in such a beautiful, bright natural light. Our photos reflect the beauty of the day and how beautiful I felt as a bride—full of love, surrounded by people I love, marrying the man I love. I knew the photos would hold important memories of the day, but I had no idea how deeply meaningful they would be until I got them back and saw how gorgeous we all looked. Our friends and family were equally stunned, Our photobook will be a treasured keepsake for ever! Both Emily and Dave are immensely talented, and their skill alone is worth recommending to anyone looking for a photographer. They were particularly exceptional to work with for our wedding because of how easy they made everything. They were always thoroughly prepared, quick to respond, always on time, and kept the schedule moving the day of our wedding. It was such a relief to have them help prepare us for our wedding day and then guide us through it.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah has such a sweet personality, you just have to love her!!! Me and my husband were able to do a model call for her and she made it so much fun! Definitely recommend getting your photos done as a date night! Being a photographer as well, I have to touch on her quality of work and presentation. She does an excellent job of coming off as professional but also personable. She’s great at explaining prompts and poses. It doesn’t feel awkward or like you never know what to do with your hands haha Lastly her desire to serve people really shines through. During the session, the way she presents herself on social media, and even her work. Would highly recommend Hannah to anyone and everyone!!!

Jason Snorlax Photography

Norwalk, CA
  • Classic style

  • Serves East Lansing, MI

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

I am Kimberly Hibbard. Why am I a photographer? After I graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Hearing-Impaired Education, I didn't plan to be a photographer until one day. I picked up my camera and took some random pictures. I posted some pictures on FB and several friends told me, "Girl! Seriously, you need to start a photography business and I need a family session! " Here I am. I have been doing it for seven years now, over 100 weddings and I love it!! I have amazing clients and I consider them to be family.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim was amazing to work with from start to finish. The quality of our engagement session was incredible, so the bar was set pretty high for the wedding. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning and she takes so many that it's challenging to choose prints. Kim is talented, patient, and creative. Her photography services are well worth the money - you won't be disappointed.

Hi, it's me, Kiley! I am the proud mama of two young children, a rescued dog and two rescued cats, and I am grateful to be married to my best friend. I love the outdoors, cycling, yoga, good coffee, cheesy romantic comedies, folk & bluegrass music, and great vegan food. I’m excited to be in the Midwest after growing up on the west coast!

Kiley was a photographer at our venue. From a fellow vendor’s perspective, she was wonderful to meet and welcome here! She was communicative, open and super personable. Some of the shots she took were unique from anything else we have seen from other photographers — they were gorgeous! We will highly recommend her to our clients and couples!
