  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $140
  • Serves Alpena, MI

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.

Couple o' Mittens Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Alpena, MI

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.

“Couple o' Mittens Photography was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. There was never any pressure, more like a guiding hand. They made us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process and were happy to provide a variety of locations and styling recommendations for our shoot. There was no awkward posing, just natural, candid photos that truly reflected our personalities. They captured several special moments, including some beautiful shots during the twilight hours. We were thrilled with the quick turnaround time and variety of photos they provided, giving us wonderful memories to cherish.”

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.

“Drea seriously made our day so special. She was so kind, easy going, and helpful! She went above and beyond on our elopement day. We are so thankful and feel like we gained a life long friend!”

Hi, I'm Shonda! I am a wedding photographer based in Northern Michigan. I am all about capturing the real emotions and connections of your wedding day. With a focus on small intimate weddings and elopements, my documentary photography style is genuine and authentic, conveying the equality and love between you and your partner. I strive to create images that convey your unique story.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Shonda is absolutely unparalleled in the industry. Neither my husband nor I are typically comfortable in front of the camera, but Shonda did an incredible job putting us at ease through her approach of encouraging connection and focus on each other, rather than being rigidly posed. She captured our love in an authentic way that felt intimate and unique, which is essential for what I'd say is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day. She was organized, thoughtful, and thorough at every point in the process, and can make a wedding at any venue feel special and snazzy. We HIGHLY recommend her to any future couples!”

Capturing and documenting the fleeting nature & intricate details of your life and love—woven together with intention + grace into a nostalgic photo collection. I strive to tell your story and preserve your legacy with wholesome imagery you will lovingly cherish and share with future generations.

“My husband and I decided to have a very intimate wedding on Mackinac Island with just immediate family. We had about 6 weeks in total of planning and my ability to find a photographer on the island was not fruitful. I actually found Kristin on a Facebook page for elopements and emailed for time to call. We had a FaceTime call within a couple days and at that time I had 2 locations we were looking into. Kristin was very understanding given that a location had not fully been secured but once we decided on the day and place (Wings of Mackinac Butterfly House) she was able to help us bring our wedding day and photo ideas into life m. She took both digital and film photos that were stunning and were just the icing on the proverbial cake (we actually got ice cream cones as our wedding dessert)! Kristin has always held fantastic communication leading up to our special day and has always gone the extra mile to assist in anything we needed. Since our wedding, she has also taken beautiful newborn and family photos for us and we cannot be happier with the outcomes! We treasure her work and friendship and we look forward to more captured memories with Kristin!”

We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy.

If you’re looking for a team that’s organized, warm, and deeply invested in your day, you’re in the right place.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Exceptional Wedding Photography Experience I recently had the pleasure of working with a Ben and his team (shout out Mike!!), Promani Weddings, whose talent and professionalism made our wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we met, it was clear that he wasn't just there to take pictures—he was invested in ensuring our special day was captured in the most beautiful and authentic way possible. -Personable and Friendly Approach One of the standout qualities of our photographer was his warm and personable demeanor. He immediately put us at ease, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. This was especially appreciated during those hectic pre-ceremony moments when nerves were running high. His ability to connect with us and our guests on a personal level created an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie, which translated into natural and genuine photographs. -Unique Candid Photography Technique What truly set our photographer apart was his innovative use of candid photography. Instead of staging every shot, he discreetly captured spontaneous moments that perfectly encapsulated the emotions and relationships of everyone present. This approach resulted in photos that felt alive and authentic, reflecting the true essence of the love and joy we experienced that day. Looking through our wedding album, we were amazed at how he managed to capture moments we didn't even realize were happening, yet are now some of our most cherished memories. If you’re on the fence about doing candid photography for your wedding, this is your sign to DO IT! -Superb Communication and Understanding Throughout the planning process, our photographer was incredibly communicative and attentive. He took the time to understand our vision for the day and worked closely with us to ensure every detail was accounted for. His professionalism and dedication were evident in his proactive approach to logistics and his responsiveness to our questions and concerns. He was not just a hired vendor but a true partner in ensuring our wedding photography exceeded our expectations. -Execution of Vision On the day of the wedding, Ben seamlessly executed the vision we had discussed. His keen eye for detail and mastery of light and composition resulted in stunning images that captured the beauty of the venue, the emotions of our guests, and the intimacy of our ceremony. He balanced capturing the big moments with the subtle nuances that made our day unique, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration was documented with care and artistry. I cannot recommend Ben, Mike and Promani Weddings highly enough. His talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft shone through in every interaction and in every photograph. He not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a collection of images that we will treasure for a lifetime. It’s been two weeks since our wedding and we already have our edited photos, highlight reel and full ceremony video. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture moments but also enhance your wedding day experience, look no further. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made, and we are forever grateful for the memories he preserved so beautifully.”

“Lacie and Tim are just the most amazing photographers (and people). They met up with us in Montana to shoot our elopement photos ahead of our shooting our wedding reception in Indiana. They are both so friendly and fun and Lacie has such great instincts. She and Tim surveyed glacier national park for great photo ops the day before we met. When we met some cloud cover in the park Lacie made a great call to pivot and get some amazing sunset photos on the lake which were stunning. While we drove around the park it felt like we hanging out with our good friends which made it all the more fun and the photos more authentic. Both Lacie and Tim were so helpful and kind, and our photos both in Montana and Indiana are everything I’ve ever wanted! Would hire/will hire them again and again!”

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!”

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 captured every moment with such artistry and intention. The images feel effortless yet elevated as every frame tells a story, from quiet, emotional moments to the joy and movement of our guests celebrating into the night. The photographs from our first dance in the barn truly took our breath away. The way Isaac used the natural light, textures of the wood, and atmosphere of the space made the images feel cinematic and timeless. Working with Isaac was seamless, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely joyful. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day exactly as it felt. The images are beautiful, emotional, and full of life. We are endlessly grateful for his vision and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dreaming of a wedding that feels both authentic and artfully captured.”

Hi! I’m Carly :) Your new bestie behind the camera! I am located in Traverse City, Michigan, where I was born and raised, but I am always happy to travel for weddings + elopements. I fell in love with taking pictures at a very young age when I received my first film camera as a gift from my parents and have been obsessed ever since. My goal is to create timeless images that you can cherish forever, images that freeze your favorite moments in time. I’m not just a photographer, but a visual storyteller for loved-up souls.

“Carly Lynne Visuals provided excellent photography services for our wedding day. Carly's communication style is direct, honest and kind - she was always responsive and helped guide us through the process. The quality and value of Carly's work is fantastic, she captured so many sweet moments with great detail. We appreciated that Carly was able to be present without being intrusive. A few examples that contributed to our special day - Carly adapted our portrait timeline based on lighting conditions which resulted in beautiful golden hour photos. My husband was more comfortable after changing the schedule. We highly recommend Carly, she is very talented and kind. Her photography beautifully documented our wedding celebrations and we will treasure the photos for years to come.”

Hi I'm Bridgette ! I am based in Orange County and I am a wedding photographer based in Huntington Beach, specializing in documentary storytelling, editorial portraiture and digital + 35 & 120mm film. I personally photograph celebrations throughout Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente, San Diego and Southern California, as well as Michigan.

“Bridgette is the most incredible photographer around. Not only is she insanely talented, she also brought a calmness to the whole day. She has such a great knowledge of wedding day timelines and acted as our wedding planner in helping us structure our day efficiently where we could take a lot of photos but also have so much time with each other and our guests. Our venue was not traditional and required a lot of moving around. Bridgette took it all in stride and helped direct us to stay on track! And her photos!! She captures incredible genuine images and has such great attention to detail. We look at our photos daily and love every one of them!”
