Taylor M Zinn Photography

  • Serves Bay City, MI

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 absolutely crushed it on our wedding day! From start to finish, she went above and beyond what we could have ever hoped for in a photographer. Not only did she capture every single detail beautifully, but she also helped keep the day running smoothly — almost like a mini-wedding planner for Meghan and me. Her calm presence and organization made such a difference in helping us actually enjoy the day. Taylor’s aesthetic is stunning — a true-color, elegant style that perfectly reflects the natural beauty of the moment. We’ve received countless compliments on our photos from friends and family, and even several guests commented during the wedding about how great she was to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable and managed to capture so many genuine moments without ever feeling intrusive. We were also so impressed with how quickly she delivered our preview gallery — it was such a joy to relive the day so soon after! Taylor also did our engagement photos, which she absolutely killed, and it made us even more confident that our wedding photos would be incredible (and they were!). I can’t recommend Taylor enough — she’s talented, professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about what she does. If you’re looking for someone to capture your day perfectly, Taylor M Zinn Photography is the one.

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. 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.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

Dani did our wedding in 2022 and we have already had 3 more sessions with her and another on the books for this year. We also did our engagement session with her before we were married :) We are so thankful she has been someone that can document our lives as we grow!! She is AMAZING to work with and her photos are pure magic. It's really something that we haven't gotten bored from using her through the years, haha. But seriously, she seems to offer something a little different each time and oh my gosh we are still so blown away everytime we get our photos back from her!! We've even sent more of our family to her so she's basically become our whole extended family photographer :D

If you are in the hunt for a wedding photographer look no further - this is who you want! We received a recommendation to check them out from a work colleague and I am SO THANKFUL because Kevin and Heather were truly the nicest couple we could have imagined working with for our big day. I'm extremely type A and a planner and loved how organized they are. From the initial video chat, to the engagement session, and ultimately our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly. My husband is not a big fan of having his photo taken and they made him so comfortable! They also had a photo preview of some sneak peeks ready for us on the wedding night which was so unexpected and such a nice surprise! I could not have asked for a better experience and am excited to work with them again in the future for family photos or other opportunities.
