Lynzee Harrison Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (21 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • 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 absolutely wonderful and a pro at what she does. We first hired her for an engagement session, which she hit out of the park, and then decided to have her photograph our wedding. Not only did we receive multiple praises for her based on her kindness and ease to work with, but I’ve had many people mention our pictures are some of the most beautiful and artistic pictures they’ve seen. Lynzee does a great job at listening to your vision and capturing it. While I prioritized having some gorgeous pictures of our wedding that felt timeless and magical, I also wanted the little moments captured in a more documentary style too. She did both phenomenally, and I’m so glad I hired her. You will be too!”

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! 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. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!”

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

“Grace was just amazing. For a day that was overwhelming and very stressful, I cannot thank her enough for her calm and kindness. My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.”

“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!”

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!”

I'm Cynthia! A Michigan wedding photographer for couples who are drawn to candid imagery, value their legacy, and don't want to forget a single moment from their wedding day. (and no- I won't make you do the awkward prom pose;)

“I booked Cynthia two years ahead of my wedding that was on 7/18/26 and it was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding day. I first found her on Instagram when a bride I followed posted her wedding gallery, shot by Cynthia. Immediately fell in love with her style of editing and the way she captures a couples big day. Cynthia was so professional, organized, supportive and everything you would want out of someone who is going to capture the biggest day of your life. I said this to her post wedding but it truly felt like we gained a friend throughout the process, someone who checked in regularly to make sure everything is going smoothly. Come day of and Cynthia was my calm amongst the chaos of the day. From unexpected weather to dress mishaps, Cynthia never showed any other emotion other than calmness and a "we got this" attitude. So many people came up to Jonny and I and told us how organized and nice Cynthia was. I just went on on and on about Cynthia as a person but her talent behind the camera is just the cherry on top. Her gallery has me distracted at work everyday because all I can do recently is look at my full wedding gallery. Cynthia's style of editing is timeless and so beautiful. You will not regret booking Cynthia to be your photographer! Her future couples are lucky to have her:) - From a very happy bride with amazing wedding photos”

Hi! I'm Kelsie, and I'm located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 13 years of experience has created an obsession with wedding photography. It's a day that encompasses almost every type of photography. Documentary, portraiture, the art of curated cinematic moments... I fell in love with the challenge of doing it all. Not everyone is cut out for the emotional and physical rollercoaster of wedding photography, but I'm glad I am!

“I'm lucky to call Kelsie not only an amazing photographer but also an incredibly good friend. We met at a wedding where she was photographer and from there it was destiny. She's now our family photographer and she produces some of the most amazing looking photos--which is a not easy to do with my high energy kiddos. I've never been disappointed in her product and her wit, charm and humor also makes the session so much fun and full of laughs! You won't be disappointed in Kelsie's services and if you are like me, you will find yourself using her for all of the big life stages throughout the years!”

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!”
