Working with just a handheld digital camcorder, I’m there to catch all the intimate moments without anyone feeling ‘on’ or taking additional time away from the celebration you have dreamed of for so long. Basically a fly on the wall, or permanent third wheel. I cannot wait to capture all the love in edited films to be cherished for decades to come 💗

We were so happy to have Cailyn capture our wedding day! She is so sweet and kind and gave us such beautiful memories to cherish for a lifetime. It’s crazy how fast your wedding day flies by; we were so grateful to get to relive it through Caitlyn’s films! 10/10 recommend!

Hi! I am Amber Yeagley and I am so happy you are here at my little storefront. I am passionate about being your Wedding Photographer because I get the privilege and blessing to stop time with my camera on one of the most special days of your life. When you look back on your wedding album, you get to relive your first looks, the 'I Dos,' and fun dancing together. You also get to start a legacy of love to share and pass down for generations. And that is so powerful. I would love to give you a wonderful client experience and serve you well. I was created to create, and I get to use my talents to capture your wedding day. What a blessing.

From the moment we met Amber, the photographer from All Things Beautiful Photo, we knew we were in good hands. Her communication style is attentive, respectful, effective, and patient, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work is truly exceptional - she has an artistic, intuitive, and creative eye that captured the personal moments of our special day in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to us. Amber took beautiful family photos and will be capturing couple portraits that we can't wait to see. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and understood exactly the look and feel we wanted for our wedding photos. My daughter and I were free to use our own clothing and props, which Amber enthusiastically encouraged. We laughed and had a wonderful, relaxed day with Amber, and the photos she took will be treasured memories for years to come. Truly an awesome experience working with All Things Beautiful Photo!

Hi! We’re best friends who’ve combined our love of gardening + floral design to create something magical right in the middle of the city. Our designs are inspired by our beautiful backyard garden and filled with lots of lush greenery. We love to create elegant bouquets with lots of texture and movement.

Sparrow Bloom Co provided the florals for our April 2021 wedding at Venue3Two in Grand Rapids, and I would recommend them to anyone! We first contacted Sparrow Bloom after we saw their AMAZING work on Instagram. The style of their blooms stood out to us instantly. We were looking to work with a company who could bring our vision to life and they exceeded all of our expectations. During our initial consultation with Becca + Kait, they were so detailed and created a beautiful vision board. They were always responsive and detailed. On our wedding day, Becca + Kait arrived early to set up. When myself, my mom, my sister and MIL walked in the room, we immediately had tears streaming down our faces. The room was absolutely STUNNING because of the floral design! When people see our wedding photos, the response is always “who designed your floral?” because they were that beautiful! Breathtaking.

I’m an IT professional by day, a photographer by night, a mom & wife every second of the day. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m married to my soul mate and together we have two young, rowdy boys that we have LOTS of fun with. I grew up in Argentina and that’s shaped me in more ways than I can explain. I have a deep rooted connection to people & places and often wear my heart right on my sleeve. I am very ‘laid-back’ & focused when in a photo session. I do more looking than talking to make sure I get the vision just right. I provide specific direction when it’s needed and vague direction to get the intimate candids.

I had no idea our small, low-key wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze sophistication, refinement as well as fun! Not bad for a simple courthouse wedding! If you value photography and want someone who is a master of their craft and a true professional all-round, look no further. Genevieve did everything she could to empower and coach us into really just feeling like our best selves. At no point did we feel self-conscious. We will treasure these photos forever.

  • Serves Athens, MI

Hi! I'm Danielle. I'm a Midwest elopement and intimate wedding photographer. Currently based in a small suburb just outside Detroit, Michigan, but available for travel anywhere! I have had a love for creating for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I drew everything as I saw it and I think that's why photography feels so perfect. It's an absolute dream to be an artist by trade and capturing special moments is a job I take to heart.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Danielle. We decided to hire a photographer on super short notice and she was able to accommodate us; she did a lovely job making our families feel comfortable and catching shots both candid and posed. We've already printed an album and thank-you cards -- we're so grateful to have these photos!
