Clio, MI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Essexville, MI

Hi friends! I'm Chel, a 29 year old mama + wife to the sweetest boys. Loved ones would describe me as warm, bubbly, quirky, and down to earth. I started my photography journey at the end of 2014, and am entirely self-taught. I was born and raised in Traverse City, but moved down to Clio, Michigan 2 years ago! However, I continue to serve all of Michigan, as well as locations around the US and worldwide. I am a coffee obsessive (think Lorelai from Gilmore Girls) with a joy for nature + traveling. I love reading, all genres of music (sucker for Luke Combs, Elvis, Benson Boone), true crime, cringe reality TV + psychological thrillers!

Cheleana was so amazing to work with! Went above and beyond, listened to concerns we had, and even better, was able to control the family photo chaos on the wedding day. She did our engagement photos which was a great warm up before the actual wedding day. She stayed in constant contact with photo updates and checking in about wedding planning process. The actual wedding day, she battled the windy weather with grace and got the most amazing photos. We look at them almost everyday. Highly recommend her for shooting your wedding, it was well worth it, we are so grateful to have met and worked with her!

I see the world as photographs. I am always looking around and seeing beauty in everything. I picked up my first camera at a very young age, but officially started my photography career in 2013, going full time 2019. I want to be your life long friend & photographer who will be there to capture all of the precious moments of your life even beyond your wedding day. I was honored to be voted the #1 photographer in the Tri-Cities area 2023 by "Community Votes Saginaw, and I was also chosen as 1 of 10 amazing photographers to become a part of the Nikon Creators fam.

Kali is beyond talented. I love her style and vision especially with contrast & color in our photos. Our photos were the talk of our friends and family for MONTHS after our wedding because they are just that amazing. She gives excellent direction so even people who may be nervous in front of a camera, she will help you through the poses etc! She also is very thoughtful about the day - not just your photos but the entire wedding experience; she asked all the right questions, prepared for all weather conditions, made a point to know the roles of all my family members, etc. She had never been to the stockyards before (in Fort Worth TX) but you would have never known it - she found all the perfect spots and just helped make my whole vision come to life in her photos. We developed a true friendship out of the wedding weekend and it made for an even more fun and effortless experience. She is just a one of a kind human and I’m truly HONORED that she was my photographer. Seriously 5 stars is not enough, she is the BEST photographer you will ever find, hands down.

Frankenmuth, MI
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,500

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!

Although I can offer plenty of guidance in posing and setup, I have never lost sight of the importance of the candid and spontaneous moments. I strive to create balance between the two with every wedding I shoot.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wedding photos were one of the most important things to me on my wedding day, as it is most brides, because they capture the memories made that’ll last a lifetime. Working with Ryan eliminated absolutely any stress I had of getting the perfect photos. Starting with the planning process he helped guide our “day of wedding” schedule and added input to ensure we got every photo we wanted. During our wedding day he made everyone feel VERY MUCH at ease. Our bridal party was laughing, joking, smiling, having an amazing time and nobody felt they were put into awkward poses and that was evident when we received our photos back. The natural feel of every photo is priceless! Ryan went above and beyond and I could not be happier with choosing him to photograph our wedding! 20/10 recommend.

Lynzee Harrison Photography

5.0

Alma, MI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,800

I believe love and light are two of the closest things we have to real magic. We're so fortunate that photography utilizes both. Art, storytelling, and connection have stood the test of time throughout human history. We were designed to create, entertain, and love. I approach each wedding day like it's the most important love story that will ever be told. Because to you, it is. I approach most of the day with a photojournalistic approach. Then during portraits I'm skilled at both posing you beautifully enough to be an editorial piece and prompting you in ways to bring out cinematic romance.

Lynzee is the absolute BEST of the best! We are a lesbian couple who did an elopement instead of a traditional wedding, and Lynzee absolutely NAILED it! She delivered engagement and elopement photos that absolutely shattered our expectations in the very best ways. She is supportive and has a wonderful artistic vision and is not afraid to incorporate whatever your vision was. She knew how to make both of us feel so beautiful while capturing our love and showing us what everyone else gets to see. The photos were gorgeous, but also still us. She managed to capture gorgeous, authentic moments, time and time again. She was professional, organized, SO fast at getting photos back to us, and gave us so many perfect shots that we can't stop looking at. She was the perfect elopement photographer; I cannot recommend her enough. Our wedding day was just the two of us with Lynzee, and she was the perfect companion for the day and was able to provide guidance whenever we wanted or needed it, but she also let us take the lead. Also, when posting our engagement photos, someone made a homophobic comment, and she immediately defended us to the commenter, deleted the comment, and posted a reminder of her support of the LGBTQ+ community. Lynzee is an absolute gem, and we will never take our photography business anywhere else again!

We are committed to helping people find their voice and tell their unique stories through photography! Every story is unique and it is our goal to get to know you so that we can document your story authentically. If you're looking for super posed photos of your day, that's okay but Im probably not the best fit! But if youre a fun-loving couple that oozes chemistry and can't keep your eyes (or hands) off of each other, and you want that captured genuinely, I'm your girl!

What can I say other than they are ‘outstanding’ having you both capture moments that we will look back on and treasure forever, is SO incredibly special. The dream team duo! I could not be happier with the end result and we would happily recommend them to anyone. I cannot recommend them more to be at the top of your guest list. Not only were the quality of the photos perfect, the communication was the BEST. They really helped move our timeline along and stayed on top of everything and really captured the day the way I saw it. I have never been so happy to have them on our team, thank you so much!

Arrae Photography

5.0

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Essexville, 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!

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!

Abigail is a wonderful photographer! We’ve been clients of hers since 2019 when she took our engagement photos.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

This review is long overdue. One year ago today, Ashley photographed my intimate family wedding. Literally everyone at my wedding loved her. My brother is also a professional photographer (but a jinx for weddings) and complimented her sooo many times. She was so low-key throughout the event, blending right in throughout the day. She was so sweet and friendly, she basically felt like was part of the family that day. She got beautiful portraits of me and my husband, portraits with our families, then so many great candids throughout the day - exactly what we wanted. She definitely knows what she's doing with the couple portraits too - she gave us directions that sounded so silly at the time, but omg the pictures came out amazing. Cannot thank her enough, and cannot tell you enough to BOOK HER NOW!

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.

Isaac went above and beyond! We had him for both our engagements photos and wedding. My husband and I are not big on taking photos and he made us feel so comfortable.

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

So where do I start?! Lead and his team are the most professional, passionate, skilled, and accommodating photographer/videographer. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer on the most important day of our lives. They took so much time to incorporate everything we could want in our wedding photos and they even took the time to edit some multiple amazing videos with the footage. They were patient and they made us feel comfortable and supported during the night and we had a blast as well. On top of all that, he knew how to capture well our love story. His team is amazing and they provided a high quality, welcoming, amazing photography experience. I'd recommend their work for any event you'd like to capture precious moment's in! They were worth more than every cent we spent! Again, thank you so so much Ledd and team. We will treasure these photos forever.

She made us both feel very comfortable while taking our photos and really got to know us as a couple. She also delivered our photos in a timely manner and made it very easy to share with others.

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?

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Tonya was amazing. She is extremely friendly. She was always available for questions if needed, very responsive! My grandpa passed away a month before the wedding and she had told me that if I had a picture of him that was clear enough that she would edit him into a wedding photo for me and she did just that and it was beautiful. You couldn't even tell that it was an edited photo. She got us a sneak peek within 5 days after the wedding and I was blown away at how beautiful they turned out. She was effortless to work with! We didn't have to worry about anything! She captured our day so perfectly. We have agreed that we will always use her for a photographer when needed to help us capture our forever! Thank you so much Tonya, for everything and for capturing our day in the most perfect way. We HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a photographer, we have no regrets in our decision!

Ever since childhood, I’ve been captivated by the power of photos and the stories they tell. 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.

There are not enough words to describe how beautiful and pleasant Taylor is. I hadn’t even met her in person or really spoke to her when I knew she was the one for us. She made our day magical and seamless. I never had to ask for a certain photo because we had the conversation ahead of time. She did everything we asked and more!! She is now our forever photographer! 3

It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Dani helped us with choosing our elopement location in Colorado! She listened to our must-haves for our location and provided us a list of options with info on permits and everything. She made the elopement process so easy! We picked our location off her advice :) We also had snow hit the day of our elopement and since it was just my husband & I plus the photographers, (Dani & Jed), she let us adjust our elopement time to get the best experience in the elements. They also followed my husband & I to our restaurant where we had dinner and took some amazing candid photos our first dinner as husband and wife. Such an incredible team and incredible experience. Hiring them was the best decision we made when we decided to elope!!

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!

Katy & I met and worked side by side for The Vasquez's wedding back in November of 2023. Right from the get go, Katy was easy to work with. As a wedding DJ I've seen it all. I noticed that Katy worked very well with newly weds and myself. Very fun and easy to work with. We now follow each other on social media and stay in touch hoping to work together again in the future.

She is a precious person who goes above and beyond to make sure the client has exactly what they want and envision. Before booking with her, she made me a Pinterest board of what her vision was for our big day based on our venue parameters and our personal wishes. This extra detail that she chose to provide helped me to feel settled in my decision, trusting we had the same vision!

These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives.

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.

Hello and Welcome! I'm Karly, the imaginative force behind the lens at Treehouse Studios.

You might spot me constructing a fence in a floral sundress or upcycling bridal gowns while enjoying a playlist spanning six diverse music genres. I embrace my unique passions and am excited to harness that creativity and passion to transform each part of your magical wedding day into a captivating photo collection that will transport you back to cherished memories and share some fun moments you might have missed.

Awarded Best of Zola
I submitted an inquiry form on Karly ‘s website at 11:49am for golden hour pregnancy announcement photos. I included my number and asked for a phone call or text as I was visiting from out of town. Karly texted me within THIRTY MINUTES of submitting the form! She then booked me for the same day! She was very thorough before hand and asked questions about what we were looking for, in order to maximize our time together. When we met up with her at point betsey, it never felt like getting to know a stranger. It always felt like catching up with a close friend. She was so sweet and made the experience so special for us. Karly even got a few sneak peaks out to us within a day so we could do our announcement the same day! She also did a great job posing us. Any bride or family would be very lucky to have Karly capturing their memories. I cannot wait to bring my baby girl here and to hire Karly to take our family photos ️

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!

You can usually find me out on our boat with my husband and three children exploring the Great Lakes. When I am not exploring Michigan, I am definitely traveling to explore other areas around the world. I love photographing the fleeting moments with my children as they experience life is something: A smile, a tear, the belly laugh, concentration and everything in between. This fascination is what carries over to my photography. The connection between two people who intend to spend the rest of their lives together is magical. It is expressive and full of fleeting moments that one may forget unless it is captured in a photograph.

Rayan is one of the most creative wedding photographers working today. During the leadup, she'll work closely with you to understand the nuances of your day. And when the day arrives, she'll document your sentimental moments in a thoughtful, discreet manner. My background is in art and design, and every time I look at her images, I'm so incredibly impressed by her artistic vision. But perhaps even more importantly, the photographs remind me of how special the day was and how warm and accommodating Rayan was throughout the entire experience. I can't imagine it without her.

About wedding photographers in Essexville, MI

How much does a wedding photographer typically cost in Essexville, MI?

A Essexville, MI wedding photographer ranges from $400 to $6,300 and averages at $2,400. The cost reflects the number of hours included, if there is a second photographer, any prints or albums, and, most importantly, the experience of the photographer.
