We loved working with Jasmine. She did our engagement photos and was our photographer for our wedding. She not only did an amazing job and captured great photos but she is professional, has open communication and handles "issues" with grace. There was an issue with the hard drive (totally out of her control) and she told me right away what happened, what steps she was taking to ensure my photos were safe and kept me updated about photo delivery. She has gone above and beyond for us.

  • Serves Bay City, MI

I believe love and light are two of the closest things we have to real magic. We're so fortunate that photography utilizes both. Art, storytelling, and connection have stood the test of time throughout human history. We were designed to create, entertain, and love. I approach each wedding day like it's the most important love story that will ever be told. Because to you, it is. I approach most of the day with a photojournalistic approach. Then during portraits I'm skilled at both posing you beautifully enough to be an editorial piece and prompting you in ways to bring out cinematic romance.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lynzee is an exceptional photographer who truly elevates every moment of your special day. If you're looking for someone with an eye for the smallest details and a passion for capturing genuine emotion, look no further. Her work is nothing short of breathtaking—our photos are timeless, romantic, and feel like they were pulled straight from a movie. Lynzee’s use of light and her skill in capturing the perfect sunset shots set her apart from any other photographer. I highly recommend adding film to your wedding package, some of our favorites are the film photos!

At Kali Britton Photo I believe photography is more than images. It is the art of preserving the beauty of life’s most meaningful moments. I specialize in weddings and portraits, creating timeless editorial imagery filled with emotion and detail. From places like Detroit, Mackinac Island, Greencrest Manor, and beyond, I capture stories with care and artistry. Beyond the camera I am a wife, a mother, and traveler who sees the world in photographs. My passion is creating heirlooms that allow you to relive your story for generations.

From the moment we booked Natural By K.Britton for our wedding, she was easy to work with and responsive to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, she was incredibly helpful, ensuring we stayed on schedule and captured all the special moments. The photos she delivered were absolutely beautiful, truly amazing and perfect. We couldn't be happier with the quality of her work and how she helped make our wedding day so special.

Hi, I’m Taylor Zinn! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Harrison, Michigan, a cozy little town right in the heart of the mitten. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up the chaos and joy of life with my husband of 12 years and our two kiddos (ages 4 and 10). I live for salty ocean air, hot tea, and the dream of one day finishing my very ambitious book collection. Around here, The Office reruns are a staple (as soon as Bluey wraps up, of course). Let’s make some magic together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Taylor is hands down the best photographer I have ever worked with! If you want to feel comfortable, someone to listen to your wants and needs, someone who travels wherever, makes things fun you absolutely need to book her! She has done not only all our family photos but all our engagement photos and even tried to fly her out to our destination wedding but I booked to late and missed out. (One thing from my wedding I truly regret) Not only does she work well with you but her work speaks for itself. Do not miss out on booking her you will absolutely regret it!

We loved having Ryan for our wedding! He was very professional and organized, the pictures turned out absolutely amazing, and he was so easy to communicate with! We had multiple calls before the wedding to make sure the timeline was all figured out, which was so helpful, and on the day he was very good with keeping to the schedule we had made. 11 out of 10 would definitely recommend!!

Featured on Anti Bride, Today show and Modern Luxury Magazine. The couple who appreciates the classic elements of a wedding, while still wanting to do something unexpected. The couple who values both the ease of the digital camera, and the iconic and everlasting impact of the film camera.

Mary was absolutely marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

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.

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!

We are committed to helping people find their voice and tell their unique stories through photography! Every story is unique and it is our goal to get to know you so that we can document your story authentically. If you're looking for super posed photos of your day, that's okay but Im probably not the best fit! But if youre a fun-loving couple that oozes chemistry and can't keep your eyes (or hands) off of each other, and you want that captured genuinely, I'm your girl!

What can I say other than they are ‘outstanding’ having you both capture moments that we will look back on and treasure forever, is SO incredibly special. The dream team duo! I could not be happier with the end result and we would happily recommend them to anyone. I cannot recommend them more to be at the top of your guest list. Not only were the quality of the photos perfect, the communication was the BEST. They really helped move our timeline along and stayed on top of everything and really captured the day the way I saw it. I have never been so happy to have them on our team, thank you so much!

“Our photographer really took the time to connect with us, and we found that we shared a lot of common interests! She made us feel very comfortable, and completely followed our desires for candid and more relaxed photos. She was amazing at posing and directing us, as well as going with the flow and capturing what was happening in the moment. We couldn’t be more happy! We love all of the photos taken outside- our couples, wedding party, and golden hour photos feel so genuine and organic and I think that’s what our photographer really excelled in. Our golden hour photos specifically are very romantic and magical- definitely our favorites! I cannot give enough praise to the level of communication given during the planning process. Wedding planning is hard and it gets tricky to keep track of everything. From Darcy at the start getting us booked to Hannah throughout the planning process, I was so grateful for the texts and emails keeping me updated and on track. I am very grateful to have found OLAS, and have already recommended them to my friends getting married next year.”

As a photographer, I view every shoot as an opportunity to capture the beauty in the little moments- to make a masterpiece out of something that, to the naked eye, would seem mundane. My mission is to capture your story as beautifully as you've lived it through the perfect mix of a candid and editorial approach.

Kendall is a phenomenal photographer and vendor to work with. She is so talented and natural behind the camera. My husband and I are not the most camera-confident people, but she made both of us feel so relaxed and poised the day of our wedding and our pictures show it. She is so tremendously gifted and professional to work with. I’ve looked at our sneak peaks 100 times since getting them and each time I am still speechless at the creativity and raw emotions she was able to capture on our day. They always say the photos are all that are left of your wedding and they are right; she captured them so eloquently and exquisitely, they’ll be something we will cherish forever.
