Lauren is amazing and her talent is truly immeasurable. She has this ability to capture every moment beautifully. I was brought back to every feeling I felt on our wedding day as I could see the raw emotion in every single photo. I don’t know how she does it other than the belief I think she is magic and has the best gift. Thank you Lauren, for being our wedding photographer. No words can describe the amount of gratitude we feel as we look at every single beautiful photo.

Rhythm & Lights

  • DJ

SO Rhythm & lights was founded in 1989. And the premise is really simple, simple pricing that includes everything we got. We only have two add ons. If you need the ceremony, and if you want a photobooth. Our teams going to setup all the lighting, and give you their all every single time, because the price doesnt dictate if they do that. We got you covered from every aspect. We do not do hourly rates, so no need to worry about the smallest details. BEcause we worry about the smallest details. You can just have FUN at your wedding.

Rhythm and lights exceeded our expectations. They were easy to work with every step of the planning process and very helpful. As a nervous bride this was very important, their attention to detail throughout was a huge weight off my chest, knowing I didn’t have to worry about anything. Mitch was our dj and he was absolutely amazing. The reception flowed flawlessly and the dance floor was full all night. (Ask for Mitch) I can’t imagine how different my wedding would have been if I hadn’t booked Rhythm and lights! Literally the best ️. Thank you!!!

Hey there! I'm Kara. I want to welcome you to my business profile. You might be here because you're looking for a photographer, or maybe you're just getting ideas. Either way I'm glad you show up. Most days you can find me at home snuggled in thousands of blankets binge watching the latest Netflix series. If not there , I'm most likely snuggling my dog, playing games with my family, or finding opportunities to get out my camera.

Kara is so amazing at what she does! She is incredibly detail oriented and organized, which has been so helpful! We highly recommend working with her!

I thrive on the human experience. I enjoy photographing stories in their organic form, curating a lifetime of memories for my clients. It's a given that I WILL cry at your wedding, celebrate your babies, become your Hype Woman for boudoir, and soak up every moment alongside you. In every sense of the word, I absolutely care about my clients. They become family. I am a lover of ridiculous internet memes, "I Love Lucy," my dogs, and my family. Enjoying life is essential to me. Travel, nature walks, and the smell of a campfire speak to my soul. Target is great, but you'll usually find me at Vertigo Records searching for vintage vinyl.

Cannot say enough good things about Ace Wedding Djs! They were so professional and prepared. Our dj, Wes, was absolutely amazing.

He asked us questions we wouldn't have ever thought of and made sure we were completely prepared for everything.

Every single person who got their services looked stunning and polished, and they worked at an impressive pace without cutting corners.

Soul Stories is our passion project in the truest sense, it was born out of a love for the moments words can’t quite hold — the quiet glances, the laughter between vows, the way love feels when it’s seen rather than said. By day, Sena (lead photographer) is a nurse and Shelton (lead photographer) works in cybersecurity — and as a couple, photo and video has always been the way we remember and cherish life. Documenting love, celebration, and the moments that matter most is something we've always done naturally. We simply decided to share that gift with others.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot truly put into words how amazing our experience with Sena and Shelton was for our wedding. They were extremely supportive, helpful, adaptable, and kind throughout our entire wedding day. They took time out of their day to scope out perfect photo spots ahead of time. In moments where I was anxious, Sena jumped in to settle me down and support me. She touched up my makeup when needed without question. Shelton was extremely helpful in finding solutions to any small problems that came up and always was uplifting our entire wedding party. They capture true genuine moments that feel like a story and they make the day so special and fun. Their work is absolutely stunning and we are amazed with the photos. I will forever run back to them for any photography needs and as a friend! I couldn’t have made it through the big day without them. Will always recommend them to anyone!

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 going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

Hi. I'm Jaymi! I'm a West Michigan wedding photographer specializing in creative, documentary-style wedding photography for couples who want authentic, story-driven images with a blend of candid moments and artistic composition. Michigan is home, but I'm available for travel worldwide!

I'm absolutely in love with Jaymi and her photography service! Lengthy positive review ahead: Initially, I was drawn to her cinematic style of photography; often intentionally capturing otherwise candid moments lost to time and preserving them forever. I work in entertainment, with a degree in fine arts, so finding someone with a keen eye for color, composition, and bespoke style was important to me and my husband. Jaymi's photography style is very unique in the world of wedding photography. Like I mentioned, her style leans more like stills from movies, rather than structure portraits. Of course, we received many traditional photos (with a touch of Jaymi's style), but I absolutely adore the photos that feel more candid. Aside from taking lovely photos of us and our friends/family, Jaymi does a great job at taking photos of the wedding itself. With how much prep goes into florals, cakes, venues, and decor, having photos that capture the vibe from the day are really important. Her photos truly showcase the feeling of the day, taking advantage of the weather, air, nature, and placement of everything. Additionally, the editing she applies to the photos feels nostalgic, and creates a timeless look! Jaymi's process throughout our entire booking/prep/and big day was professional, attentive, loving, and thoughtful. I dearly appreciated that she wanted to get to know us as a couple, and incorporated that into her work. She checked in with us often before the wedding, making sure we were prepared and feeling good about everything. Most notably, Jaymi required us to fill out a very thorough document to help prep her as much as possible; from minor details about us as a couple to specific information about relationships/photo groupings. Additionally, Jaymi went above and beyond providing sneak peaks and the final photos. I was stunned with the volume of breathtaking photos we received, and the swiftness in sharing sneak peak photos post wedding! One of my favorite memories was driving home the day after our wedding, and going through the sneak peaks admits a 10 hour drive. All these things were something I really appreciated, wedding photos are very intimate and it's assuring to work with someone who cares as much about the photos as we do. Lastly, I want to compliment Jaymi as a person! She is incredibly kind, and really brings the 'joy' in Jaymi Joy. She was cheerful throughout the entire day, keeping things on track and making sure everyone was feeling great. Jaymi is flexible, understanding, patient, and above all else, caring. I truly cannot compliment Jaymi enough, and know she will treat every wedding with the same devotion she treated ours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rachel was a treat to work with! Throughout the planning process she was always responsive, informative, and helpful. She had a very detailed intake meeting with us to make sure she understood what we were looking for. She always had suggestions when asked; but it was clear her goal was to bring our vision to life. She succeeded in doing just that and then some. Leading up to the wedding she actually came out with us to plan the floral set up during one of our venue visits, this was such a personal touch and really made us feel like her priority. The day of our wedding she personally dropped off the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnières at the hotel my wife was getting ready at. Afterwards she ensured that all the florals, center pieces, and a multitude of other floral related decorations were beautifully set up and ready on time for us. She and her team also did the takedown so we didn’t need to worry about anything in that regard, which was wonderful. As long as Rachel is in this line of business I will ALWAYS go to her for any of my floral needs. She’s earned a customer for life, I cannot recommend her enough.

HEY! I'm Liv Lyszyk Maxwell (pronounced LY-zick, blame it on my Polish and Ukrainian roots) and I am a 20-something wedding and portrait photographer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Most days you can find me designing for my other business Liv Lyszyk Prints, wearing leggings (I don't do zippers), and eating too much sushi. I spend my time fighting for equity in the interest of all marginalized groups. I am always looking for my next travel adventure whether that be to a new town on lake Michigan, or half way around the world, I want to see it all.

Liv Lyszyk Photography was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Liv captured every beautiful moment of our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception with such care and artistry. Every photo feels alive — full of the genuine joy and emotion of the day. What really stood out was how effortlessly Liv interacted with our guests. She made everyone feel so comfortable and natural that the photos truly reflect people’s real smiles, laughter, and happiness for us. It’s rare to find someone who can blend professionalism with such warmth and authenticity. We also loved that Liv worked solo. We’ve been to weddings with teams of photographers running around, and it can feel intrusive — but Liv’s presence was calm, confident, and completely unobtrusive. Every moment was beautifully documented without taking away from the experience itself. We are beyond thrilled with our photos and so grateful to have had Liv as part of our wedding day. Her talent, professionalism, and kind spirit made the experience unforgettable.

I highly recommend Carly to every bride I know as her work is just phenomenal.
