ignited Photography is a husband and wife photography team specializing in on-location natural and studio lighting. With almost 20 years photographing weddings together, we are passionate about love, life, weddings (and each other)!

“Heather and Kevin photographed my wedding and I cannot imagine having anyone else in their place. If their work doesn’t speak for themselves enough here’s a few from my experience; They were both extremely personable, professional, knowledgeable and so talented. They helped keep the timeline of the day in tact, helped keep all of us in good spirits and during the important moments faded into the background to do their thing. They remembered all the poses we gave for inspiration and what we wanted focused on. We are so happy with how they turned out. They kept us laughing and joyful the entire day! The photos are BEAUTIFUL, these two are truly outstanding at what they do. Thank you!!”

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.

Treehouse Studios Photography

  • Serves Big Rapids, MI

Your wedding day should feel like a celebration—not a production you have to manage. So you'll need a photographer who knows when to step in, when to keep things moving, and when to let you forget there’s a camera nearby. I’ll help gather your family, keep portraits organized, fix the little things, make you laugh when you need it, and quietly watch for the moments you never want to forget. You get a photographer, a timeline cheerleader, a family wrangler, and someone fully invested in making sure you actually enjoy your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We couldn’t be happier with our engagement and wedding photos! Every photo turned out absolutely amazing, and Karly did such a beautiful job capturing all of the special moments throughout both experiences. What really stood out to us was her incredible attention to detail and how much she cared about making the photos personal to us. She made sure to include the things that were most important to us, like our dogs. She captured not only the big moments, but also all of the little details and emotions that made our day so special. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and detail-oriented photographer”

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 couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.”

Soul Stories is our passion project in the truest sense, it was born out of a love for the moments words can’t quite hold — the quiet glances, the laughter between vows, the way love feels when it’s seen rather than said. By day, Sena (lead photographer) is a nurse and Shelton (lead photographer) works in cybersecurity — and as a couple, photo and video has always been the way we remember and cherish life. Documenting love, celebration, and the moments that matter most is something we've always done naturally. We simply decided to share that gift with others.

“I cannot truly put into words how amazing our experience with Sena and Shelton was for our wedding. They were extremely supportive, helpful, adaptable, and kind throughout our entire wedding day. They took time out of their day to scope out perfect photo spots ahead of time. In moments where I was anxious, Sena jumped in to settle me down and support me. She touched up my makeup when needed without question. Shelton was extremely helpful in finding solutions to any small problems that came up and always was uplifting our entire wedding party. They capture true genuine moments that feel like a story and they make the day so special and fun. Their work is absolutely stunning and we are amazed with the photos. I will forever run back to them for any photography needs and as a friend! I couldn’t have made it through the big day without them. Will always recommend them to anyone!”

Hi! I’m Carly :) Your new bestie behind the camera! I am located in Traverse City, Michigan, where I was born and raised, but I am always happy to travel for weddings + elopements. I fell in love with taking pictures at a very young age when I received my first film camera as a gift from my parents and have been obsessed ever since. My goal is to create timeless images that you can cherish forever, images that freeze your favorite moments in time. I’m not just a photographer, but a visual storyteller for loved-up souls.

“Choosing Carly was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish! We were pretty nervous going into our engagement shoot because neither of us had much experience in front of a camera, but she put us at ease right away. She gave such clear, natural direction and turned what we thought would be an intimidating process into something effortless and fun. On the wedding day itself, she was nothing short of incredible. She worked seamlessly with all of our other vendors, remained amazingly flexible and adaptable as the schedule shifted, and made the whole day run perfectly. To top it all off, we received our full photo gallery within just two weeks of the wedding, which was mind-blowing! Her talent, warmth, and professionalism are unmatched, and we could not recommend her more highly.”

“I’ve been friends with the bride since middle school and seeing her wedding captured like this was just amazing. The video made me cry happy tears from beginning to end. The photos show her pure joy and also the connection between all of us friends. I love that they got photos of me hugging her after the ceremony because that was such a special moment. The dance floor shots are just wild, I don’t even remember half of those moves but they got them all lol. The editing is incredible, smooth and cinematic but still very real. It doesn’t feel fake or posed, it feels like memories frozen in time. The bride and groom look like they belong on a magazine cover. I have already recommended them to two other brides-to-be. Seriously the best investment they could’ve made for the wedding.”

She has such a great knowledge of wedding day timelines and acted as our wedding planner in helping us structure our day efficiently where we could take a lot of photos but also have so much time with each other and our guests. Our venue was not traditional and required a lot of moving around. Bridgette took it all in stride and helped direct us to stay on track! And her photos!! She captures incredible genuine images and has such great attention to detail. We look at our photos daily and love every one of them!”
