Lynzee Harrison Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • 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.

Lynzee is incredible! We had the easiest, best, most amazing experience with her for both our engagement session and wedding day. She genuinely cares and it shows through her photos! You will not regret having Lynzee on your side for your special day!

Edgar did such an incredible job with our engagement photos. He had great ideas and directed us without making it seem stiff and got some wonderful candids. He totally achieved the aesthetic we were going for and I couldn’t be happier. Will be booking for our wedding if he’s not booked already!

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

Lume Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Bay City, MI

Hi, I'm Andrea. I'm a full-time photographer based in the wild north of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I specialize in nature elopements and small, intimate weddings in the UP and throughout the state of Michigan. My biggest passion is to be able to document your love story in creative, hauntingly beautiful, timeless images for you to keep forever. And give you an experience that allows you to relax, be yourself, and savor all the moments without pressure.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew I wanted to work with Andrea immediately from viewing her work on her Instagram page. Her style was exactly what my husband and I were looking for in regards to how we wanted our wedding day documented. Every exchange and phone call with Andrea was as if I was talking to a life long friend who just happened to live 7 hours away. The first time meeting Andrea we also got to meet her assistant Shonda who was the one to shoot our wedding since Andrea was already booked for our date. We planned to view some location sites and ended up just sight seeing around the UP and having an amazing day! Andrea is so passionate about the UP and loves sharing amazing places and local stories with people she meets, we almost forgot we were looking for ceremony locations. We ended up doing a short engagement shot with Andrea which was so comfortable and relaxing and fun to do! Everything she directed us to do was natural and photographed beautifully. She always claims she’s awkward but don’t let her fool you. She will 100% get distracted by rocks, flowers, or mushrooms though, and if you have any interest in nature she is someone you should definitely work with. When our wedding weekend came around, there was some challenges with some strong winds, so the ceremony location the day before of the wedding needed to be changed. Andrea and Shonda scouted new locations for us and found the most beautiful location, it was so perfect I dare say it turned out better than the original location and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Shonda was amazing to work with the day of the wedding, her and Andrea have similar personalities and work styles it was such a pleasure to have her shoot our wedding for us. More so it was SUCH a pleasure meeting these two amazing ladies who were played such an important part in our wedding day. I cannot recommend Lume Photography and Andrea and Shonda enough. They do everything they can to make sure your wedding day is all about you and your partner and make everything so relaxed for you, that you can focus on the love you share on your day.

Hello! My name is Kristen Thomison, I am passionate about capturing your story in a way that feels completely like you! Myself along with my team love getting to know you and capturing your day in a way that feels super intentional and like having some friends with you with a camera! Our promise is to keep it lighthearted and playful so that you look back on these images for years to come and remember the conversations, laughs, and maybe tears as if they were yesterday.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so worried about finding the "perfect" photographer for our big day, but Kristen Thomison was an answer to prayer! She is a precious person who goes above and beyond to make sure the client has exactly what they want and envision. Before booking with her, she made me a Pinterest board of what her vision was for our big day based on our venue parameters and our personal wishes. This extra detail that she chose to provide helped me to feel settled in my decision, trusting we had the same vision! Furthermore, she gets to know her clients on a personal level so she can write our story pictorially. She is incredible and gives her heart and soul to what she does!

Hi, I'm Hannah! I am passionate about capturing love in the most authentic and candid way possible. Hannah McLane Photo is designed for the modern + chic couple! Every love story is unique and I love representing that through my work.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Hannah, we knew we were in the best hands. She is not just a photographer — she’s an artist, a calming presence, and an expert at capturing real, emotional, beautiful moments. On our wedding day, Hannah blended seamlessly into the background when needed, but also stepped in with gentle direction to make sure we looked our best and felt comfortable. She has a gift for making people relax in front of the camera, even those of us who are usually camera-shy! When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. Every photo was stunning — the lighting, the composition, the little candid in-between moments we didn’t even realize she had captured. Hannah has an eye for detail and a way of preserving not just how the day looked, but how it felt. We’ve received so many compliments on our photos, and we’ll treasure them for the rest of our lives. If you're considering Hannah for your wedding, stop thinking and just book her. She's everything you want in a photographer and more. Thank you, Hannah, for giving us the most beautiful way to remember our day — we truly couldn’t have asked for better!

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

VRA PHOTOGRAPHY

  • Serves Bay City, MI

Hi, I’m Veera, the eye and soul behind VRA Photography. My goal is to capture your day in a way that feels natural, meaningful, and full of heart. With over 10 years of experience, I blend candid moments with simple, artistic portraits to create timeless, real images. I’m easy to work with, arrive early, stay prepared, and keep communication clear. I always aim to deliver your photos sooner than expected. I’d be truly honored to capture your day and the people you love.

When you are hiring Veera, you are not getting yourself a photographer, you are roping in a magician, and the master of capturing emotion. Veera covered my wedding that spanned 3 days, and was filled with events, music, dance, color and laughter. I have never met someone as professional, fun, kind, accommodating and talented as him. He was the best vendor I worked with through the wedding planning. He knows exactly what to do, the shots to take and angles to capture. His skill and talent will immortalize many an occasion, and with guarantee, compel you to relive the joyous event. The hues in his pictures are the most vibrant combination and contrasts, and you will soon learn that he’s elusive to normal surfers of wedding websites on the Internet, and rightfully so, for he is your surprise find. Should you ever have the good fortune of landing his services, you will look at the outcome and realize that he has put his time and soul into it. I do not wax eloquent about people for any reason other than the fact that they simply deserve it and he is one of the very few people I’ve ever written this for. I can count on my fingertips the people that I’ve left reviews. Veera, bless your heart, you’re a great guy, with the gift of photography from God, but you enhance it with your good nature, absolute professionalism, sense of timing and the oodles of creativity you possess. I do not wish to have any other photographer for any milestone of my life will follow this. Hire him without the slightest doubt and he will make your moments look like they’re straight from a magazine, without all the fuss and with everything that’s real and tugs at your heart.

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!

The only thing better than making memories, is reliving them. I love photography for so many reasons but the opportunity to freeze a moment in time and cherish that memory forever is reason number one. One reason I love wedding photography specifically is how it incorporates all my photographic passions into one day! Landscapes, street photography, documentary, portrait, macro...I could keep going. I love photography and hope my passion for my work shines through in your final gallery.

We couldn't be more thrilled with our experience with Kelly! We booked her for our destination wedding in Punta Cana and everything was smooth sailing. She was incredibly kind, professional, and made the entire process low stress. You can tell she is experienced with destination weddings and was able to work well with the resort staff, including their videographer, and work around their schedules as needed. All of our guests kept commenting on how wonderful she was at capturing shots and just as a person! The photos are absolutely perfect! She captured every moment beautifully, and we received our pictures back so quickly, which was such a pleasant surprise. Communication was always easy, and she was so responsive to any questions or requests we had leading up to and after the wedding. We truly feel so lucky to have had her as part of our big day. Very highly recommend to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer!

My name is Alaura, and I am a Chicago-based photographer with a love of great art, true stories, and old-school glamour. I believe in romanticizing everyday life for the joy of it. For me, that means fine teacups on a Wednesday, bouquets for no reason, and a home full of antiques. This also translates to my photography style!

Alaura was the BEST photographer we could have asked for! We needed someone who was willing to photograph our somewhat unique one-year wedding anniversary Whirlyball party, as we wanted action shots and portraits with friends. She helped organize our schedule to get the best possible shots outside and inside the event space and we couldn't be happier with the final results! Highly recommend her for any event you're hosting!
