The Best Wedding Photographers in Alpena, MI

Hey! I’m Lara (say it like Sarah). I’m a Detroit native, but have been soaking up the gorgeous South Florida sunshine since 2014. I love working in both Florida and Michigan! I’m an old soul: a lot of my friends joke that I’m 30 going on 90. I love old movies, interesting traditions, crossword puzzles, Peruvian food, animals, and Harry Potter.. I love traveling the world with my favorite travel buddy, my husband. We got married in 2017, and going through that process of being a bride myself gave me a fresh perspective on the art of documenting a wedding day.

Based in Michigan, I work across portraits, weddings and events, and real estate, and I never stop photographing the places themselves, from the lilacs of Mackinac Island to sunsets over the Straits to the Detiort city skyline from Windsor. Different subjects, one approach: pay attention, keep people comfortable, and chase good light until the image feels alive. When I hand over a gallery, I want you to feel something, not just see yourself, but recognise the moment. That is the whole point of Vivid Imagery.

Hey there! We’re Shannon and Devin, the husband-and-wife team behind Couple o’ Mittens! We specialize in adventure elopements and intimate weddings across Michigan for couples who want a day that feels meaningful, relaxed, and surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Outside of photography, we spend a lot of time exploring deep into the backcountry in our home state and beyond (AK, WA, WY, CA, TN, etc) —hiking trails, scouting scenic overlooks, and discovering quiet places along the Great Lakes. That experience allows us to help couples find incredible locations and create a wedding day that feels natural, personal, and unforgettable.

I initially dipped my toes into the world of photography in the early 2000s, focusing on sports events and capturing cherished moments from my kids' school activities. Life and the priorities of raising a family briefly pressed pause on my journey. Rekindling my passion in recent years, I have discovered a profound love for capturing the unexpected. Through my lens, I honor the memory of my youngest son, who, despite his inner struggles, taught me strength and love.
