Meagen Kopacki Photography 

5.0

Bear Lake, MI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $975

My journey officially began with a box of old photographs from the 60s. I sat at my grandma’s kitchen table for hours listening to stories and connecting with my family in a way that wouldn’t have been possible without those old photographs. I realized that photographs are our legacy. In 10, 20, 50, or 80 years when we want to look back on the lives we lived, and the people we loved we will always turn to photographs. My ultimate goal as your photographer is to ensure that your family will have incredible photos to love an enjoy for generations to come.

Meagen Kopacki Photography was a great choice for our engagement and wedding day photography. She’s very communicative, punctual, and incredibly positive. Meagen was a true pleasure to work with as always, sporting her super cool and fun personality. This helped create a beautiful atmosphere for our photos, which are truly special and unique. Her portfolio showcases her attention to detail with a caring approach. We will forever cherish the memories she was able to preserve for us through her gift of photography. Always a pleasure working with Meagen Kopacki Photography!

Jessica Max

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Bear Lake, MI

Big fan of dive bars, staring at the stars, forever searching for the best french fries, a blissfully cold Diet Coke, and a true midwestern why fly it's only 15 hours. You'll find me often traveling, spending time in nature, collecting rocks and shopping for vintage t-shirts. I love carefree messy in between moments, photographing my daily life on polaroids and film. I've lived a lot of places (Arizona, Arkansas, and Puerto Rico to name a few!) and have so many places that I treasure and feel at home.

We booked Jessica Max for our garden wedding in May, and are OBSESSED with the photos! She is so talented at capturing the most intimate and candid moments without us even knowing that she is there. We added film photos onto our package and absolutely loved how they turned out. Jessica also captured polaroid pictures throughout the wedding that we got to look at the next day, which was so much fun. It's so hard for us to pick our favorite pictures to get framed, we love them all! Jessica is a true pro and an absolute pleasure to work with. We got a sneak peak of our wedding photos a few days after the event and received the full gallery within the expected timeframe. We absolutely loved working with Jessica Max and would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding!

At Treehouse Studios, I believe your wedding photos should feel like your memories — full of emotion, connection, and life. I’m Karly, the photographer behind the lens, and my approach is all about storytelling with intention. I’ve spent over a decade learning how to anticipate needs before you even say them — from adjusting timelines to pinning boutonnieres — so your day flows effortlessly. My packages aren’t limited by strict time constraints; they’re designed around the moments you want to remember most, allowing space for authenticity, laughter, and all the little in-between moments that matter most.

Awarded Best of Zola
Treehouse Studios Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day! From the start, their communication style was fun, professional, and creative. The quality of their work was truly stunning - the photos they captured were detailed, professional, and exceeded our expectations. One example of how they contributed to our special day was that the photographer made sure to get couple shot with our direct family members who we had forgotten to include. Additionally, the sneak peeks we received were gorgeous and came promptly. We were greatly impressed by the value of their services, as the pricing was very reasonable for the amazing photos they delivered. I would highly recommend Treehouse Studios Photography to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photography team.

I am a videographer, photographer, and a brand developer that values creative excellence and story telling.

Montage Media Films 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Bear Lake, MI

In 2015 I started Montage Media Films and began investing everything I earned into upgrading equipment. I spent the next 2 1/2 years growing the business and by the fall of 2017, I quit my full-time job to go “all in” on Montage Media. It turned out to be one of the most life-changing decisions I have ever made. I now get to have a career doing what was once my hobby. It sounds cliche, but it’s totally true: “If you find something you love, you will never work another day in your life”.

What a talent Montage Media has! Simply incredible. My husband was particularly worried about being mic’d up and videoed for some of our more private moments (first look, vows, etc.) but they were able to capture those moments in such a noninvasive way - we truly forgot they were there (in the best way possible!) Everything from the sneak peek to the highlight video to the ceremony coverage was executed perfectly. They picked up on aspects of the wedding that may have been unnoticed by some but that were most important to us and ensured they were incorporated into the video. We can’t thank them enough for creating a keepsake that we will watch for the rest of our lives. I will say it a million times over, find a way to get Montage Media at your wedding - you won’t regret it!

As a couple who was 7 months pregnant with our first child at the time, the Toast Weddings team went above and beyond to cater to our unique situation and make sure our memories were beautifully preserved.

We knew we needed Ace Wedding DJs for our wedding this past June and they did not disappoint! Our lead DJ, Avery Echols worked closely with our other vendors to make the night run so smoothly. My husband and I truly did not have to think about anything and could just enjoy the night! Avery also CRUSHED the vibes!! After letting him know our top priority was making it a party and ensuring our guests had fun, he kept the dance floor packed all reception. Our booking coordinator, Wes Echols, was also great to communicate with. He always had very quick responses, provided us with a comprehensive and thoughtful questionnaire for the ceremony and reception, and was overall very helpful.
