  • Serves Akron, MI

I’ve been capturing weddings for over 20 years, and I still find myself falling in love with the magic of every single one. I actually started my journey at just 18 years old, and 600+ weddings later, my passion for storytelling has only grown. To me, wedding photography isn't just about the 'big' moments; it's about the love, the smiles, and the laughs that weave together to tell your unique story. My goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease so that your true personalities shine through in every frame.

Moments Captured By Vanessa was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Vanessa is friendly, prompt, and completely professional. Her communication throughout the planning process was excellent, and she made sure we were comfortable and confident every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, which happened to be one of the coldest days of December, Vanessa didn't miss a beat- capturing beautiful, heartfelt, and creative images that we will hold on to forever. The final photos were truly timeless and classic. We are also so grateful to have such gorgeous shots of our reception, including some stunning photos featuring Christmas lights in the background (which can't be accomplished by every photographer l!). Vanessa's talent, hard work, and passion for her craft were evident in every single image. We couldn't be happier with the service and value we received from Moments Captured By Vanessa.

Chime entertainment is an all around amazing vendor for DJ/MCEE, Photo booth, and videography services. Our day was amazing thanks to them! The Photo Booth added such a fun touch to the evening and was definitely a huge hit with all the funny props! It also left us with a full digital album of all of our guests having the time of their lives and was immediately available for us to look at (which came in handy while we waited for our wedding photos to come back). Everyone wont stop talking about how fun/perfect our wedding was and these guys were definitely the reason. Adam D, our main contact, was always quick to respond and always available when it came to answering our questions. Our DJ, George, was incredible, not only keeping the energy high all night but also stepping in to help coordinate the evening. He read the room perfectly, checked in with us throughout, and adapted seamlessly to any changes. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and MC. Our videographer, Leeland, went above and beyond to capture our day beautifully. He brought such fun energy while also knowing when to step back and let private moments unfold naturally.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Flower Moxie was an incredible experience from start to finish. The flowers arrived without any issues, and we had almost a 0% loss of flowers (which is unheard of). The tutorials helped me feel so ready to assemble my own bouquets and our self-assembly not only was SO FUN to do with my bridesmaids, but saved us SO MUCH money!!! I would recommend this to anyone who loves fresh flowers :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Beautiful Crazy Day of Coordinating recently provided full coordination and decor services for my wedding. I booked them over a year in advance and I'm so glad I did! Connie, Justine, and Danielle were incredible to work with. Connie had many planning meetings with me leading up to the wedding. Her experience with my venue and vendors meant that she had levels of inside knowledge and attention to detail that even a type A bride couldn't match. Justine was very helpful when I went to the decor showroom. I was very overwhelmed with how to decorate and Justine was great at showing different options and providing suggestions. It is amazing that Beautiful Crazy provides everything they do-- timeline creation, planning meetings, advice, decor, and everything they do on the actual day of the wedding-- for what they charge. Connie was very much my fairy godmother during the planning process. She answered all of my questions and was great at making a stressed-out bride feel understood and heard. She helped me make big decisions and respected my wishes and choices, and worked very hard to bring everything to life. The Wednesday before my wedding, Connie got sick and graciously let us know as soon as she did so she did not put our elderly guests at risk. She then swiftly adjusted and pulled in Danielle. The planning Connie and I had done, including Connie’s recommendations for organizing all the decor I brought, meant that Danielle was able to seamlessly jump in and bring my vision to life. The decor setup by Danielle was absolutely perfect and the tables were beautiful. We got so many compliments on the centerpieces. Danielle also worked with the other vendors and adapted last minute to weather that made us move the site of our ceremony. She took care of everything and took a lot of worry off my plate. My guests said the transition was seamless and I really value how Danielle protected the guest experience during the adjustment. Working with Danielle and Beautiful Crazy was very easy. They were always responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. I hope they start charging more in the future because their services are truly a step above what you'll find elsewhere. Of everything in the budget, Beautiful Crazy Day of Coordinating was the best money we spent.

We worked with Promani Weddings for photography and videography on our wedding day. Upon the initial call with Benjamin, we could tell we were in good hands. Everything was done so seamlessly and we had check-ins multiple times throughout the planning process. Our photographer Rayna was absolutely amazing! She was great with coordinating our timeline, identifying photo opportunities, and was very personable with everyone. Our videographer Austin was equally as amazing! He was able to capture all of our favorite ceremony and reception details throughout the day in our wedding video. You can tell they have a passion for capturing authentic moments, and the photos speak for themselves. Our family and guests continued to comment throughout the day with how impressed they were by their professionalism, attentiveness and hard work. We are very pleased with how our wedding photos and video came out, and we cannot recommend Promani Weddings enough!

I'm Lauren, a Michigan wedding photographer based in Grand Rapids, documenting weddings and elopements with a candid, documentary approach & an editorial eye. I believe your wedding should feel like a wedding. You deserve to be present for the people, emotions, laughter and little moments happening around you, while trusting that they're being documented beautifully. I'll guide you when you need it, step back when you don't & help create an experience that feels comfortable & natural from beginning to end. The result is a gallery full of intentional images that don't just show what your day looked like - they bring you back to how it felt.

Lauren is so amazing! She is super funny, so kind and her work IS THE BEST!! I absolutely recommend her to everyone. She is not badly priced and her work is worth so much more! My husband and I are so thankful we found her, she’s our photographer for life! She took our maternity, wedding and newborn pictures of our daughter and they all came out so beautifully. I’m super awkward when it comes to taking photos and posing but she knew exactly how to get me out of my shell and make it so natural. Not once have I felt awkward or uncomfortable when she has taken our photos! Absolutely love her!
