Hi I'm Katey! Your storyteller behind the lens, capturing the pure magic of love against the breathtaking backdrop of the Upper Peninsula and the serene shores of Lake Superior. I'm not just a photographer, I'm a hopeless romantic with a passion for freezing those genuine moments that not only make your heart skip a beat, but will last a lifetime. Based in the enchanting Upper Peninsula, I've fallen head over heels for the natural beauty that surrounds us. From lush forests to the pristine shores of Lake Superior, every location becomes a canvas for love stories to unfold.

OK... Right out of the gate, my first to do was to book my photographer. Katey was absolutely my number one go to, and I knew I had to try to get her for my wedding. From the first contact, to the end of the night and even to today she has been beyond superior. She worked so dang hard to keep us relaxed and captured everything I envisioned. She's calm, cool and collective. I can't say enough about her pictures, the way she captures the details that you wouldn't necessarily notice on your big day is incredible. I can't say enough about her and can't wait to book her for another shoot one day.

I started my photography career back in 2010 and have captured hundreds of stories over the years. I found my true passion in intimate weddings and elopements in 2016 when I rode in a chairlift to the top of a mountain to document a small ceremony in the company of 50 of their closest family and friends, their dogs, and an aged bottle of scotch that acted as a unity candle. From that moment I decided to specialize in capturing intimate weddings and elopements in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!

My husband and I cannot recommend Ali enough to anyone looking for a photographer!! We first got in contact with Ali last year for our planned wedding, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to have our big day, BUT we were lucky enough to transfer her services over to my sister and brother and law! After meeting Ali in person on their wedding day and seeing the magic she can do, it was an absolute no brainer that she would be there for our big day and any and every other event we need photography for! She truly became family and we cannot thank her enough for everything she’s done! She goes above and beyond in her work and truly makes the day so much easier and more fun than ever!

We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

Your wedding day should feel like a celebration—not a production you have to manage.

You get a photographer, a timeline cheerleader, a family wrangler, and someone fully invested in making sure you actually enjoy your day.

Nicole made my partner and I immediately feel at ease and comfortable from the time we first met. She communicates consistently with ease and kindness. She was someone I could talk through things with for planning photos ops to make sure the small soecial moments were captured in an organic way. She and Tyler both were so funny and kind, making my husband and I both feel like we had friends that were there with us for some of the most intimate moments of our relationship. This is an important aspect that I didn’t realize until we were in the wedding! Nicole and tyler both have an incredible way to capture their vision effortlessly. They brought our day to life through photos- which was extra meaningful because we did not have a videographer. We were so appreciative when they took our disposable cameras and developed the photos, seamlessly integrating them into our online album. Nicole and tyler have a way of capturing the saturated, golden, sparkly feeling we felt all throughout the day in photo 3 it is so important to have a photographer that makes you feel comfortable and Nicole is just that & more

We're Dom & Nelena, a husband-and-wife documentary wedding photography and film team based in Illinois. 8 years. 200+ weddings. And we still get excited for every single one. We photograph with intention. Not to document every detail, but to preserve what matters most your relationships, your energy, your presence within it all. We're drawn to the emotional undercurrent of a wedding day: the subtle, unscripted moments that hold the most meaning.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

Lyndsey was amazing through our whole wedding process; from engagement photos, meetings, and the wedding day! She helped two people who generally don’t like their pictures taken feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her style of photography was exactly what we were looking for and we are so thrilled with the outcome. Lyndsey set up a meeting prior to our wedding and created a whole timeline for photos that went along with what our coordinators at the venue had planned. As a big planning person this was so nice for me to see how the whole day would fit together. My favorite thing about working with Lyndsey was just her in general. She is truly a kind person who is passionate about her work. She has an eye for photography that I haven’t seen in any one else’s work. The poses that she created felt natural and came across beautifully. I can’t recommend her enough. If you are looking for timeless looking photos that don’t fit into that standard wedding photo box then she is the one for you! I am so thankful to have worked with her during my wedding journey, she made everything amazing! I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda and Richard shot our engagement photos and our wedding photos x2! The pandemic was so hard but they made rescheduling and then changing our minds and having two weddings so easy! They are awesome to work with and make your nerves go away while being photographed. They are also down for anything, including trudging through 3 feet deep snow in December to get winter wonderland photos. The product you have to cherish at the end are like none other. I love Amanda’s moody and real style that perfectly captures the moment. Would highly highly recommend.

I’m Nikki. A Florida-based wedding photographer documenting the wild, sacred, beautifully imperfect parts of getting married. My approach is documentary, nostalgic, and a little bit undone. I’m there for the moments you didn’t plan for: your dad trying not to cry, your friends losing their minds on the dance floor, the quiet five minutes alone together, the weird little in-between moments you won’t realize mattered until years later.

Nikki was my college senior picture photographer. I wanted to do 3 very different photo shoots, as well as incorporate my college friends and my dog. Nikki was able to execute my vision perfectly!!! She knew the perfect locations and captured the vibe I was going for in each session perfectly. I am very detailed oriented and she made sure to capture all the small personal details I wanted included as well. These are my favorite pictures I’ve ever had taken. She was so encouraging and made me feel extremely comfortable behind the camera. Whether you are wanting something more traditional or something completely unique, Nikki will execute it beautifully!!

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since. Whether it's local events or adventures across the globe, I’m all about creating stunning, authentic images for my incredible clients. Let’s make magic together!

I wish I could give 6 stars! Kirsten was incredible! She did such an amazing job, we couldn’t have been happier. She is so great to work with, and she ensured that we had great photos and lots of them. Our wedding included my toddler nephew and our dog, and she did such a great job getting their attention and giving us wonderful photos. We really got to know her, and she is very friendly, open and honest. She genuinely loves weddings and gets so excited for a great shot. She gave us feedback in the moment, which I really appreciated so that I could make small adjustments if needed. She was also great with working with our fixed set of time after the ceremony to ensure we got our priority photos done. She really knows what she’s doing and her work is great. I would highly recommend her for your wedding!
