I believe the best photos come from confidence, comfort, and genuine connection. I focus on capturing the little moments that often go unnoticed while making sure you feel relaxed and confident every step of the way. My approach is natural, meaningful, and budget-friendly without sacrificing quality.

Mo Marie Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication style was empathetic, loving, and deeply invested in ensuring our day was perfect. The photographers were incredibly professional, helpful, and delivered clean, beautiful images that perfectly captured all the special moments. They made sure everyone was ready to go and had the perfect timeline set for us, ensuring the day flowed seamlessly. I just love how the photographer really wanted to make it special - she went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. We are thrilled with the final photos and couldn't recommend Mo Marie Photography more highly!

  • Serves Big Rapids, 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!

You’re not just hiring a photographer — you’re choosing who gets to hold your memories. That matters. Hi, I’m Karly. I photograph full wedding days from start to finish, so nothing meaningful gets missed — the quiet morning moments, the big emotions, the wild dance floor energy. I’ll guide you when you need direction, step back when you don’t, and make sure you feel comfortable and confident the entire time. My style is true-to-life, beautifully detailed, and timeless — so years from now, it still feels exactly like you.

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.

Meagen Kopacki Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $975
  • Serves Big Rapids, MI

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.

From the moment we first spoke with Meagen, we knew she was the perfect photographer for our wedding. Her communication style is very open and she takes the time to truly understand your vision. The quality of her work is simply stunning - her photos are beautiful, timeless, and have an edgy, artistic flair that matched our style perfectly. On the day of the wedding, Meagen showed up with such a great vibe and knew exactly how to make us and our wedding party feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. She was able to wrangle our family members and even our rambunctious pups for group photos, and was always willing to go the extra mile to capture the shots we wanted, like using colored smoke bombs. Meg is truly our favorite photographer - she is so kind, creative, and non-judgmental, which was so important for our LGBTQ wedding. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Alex & Jeremy were the BEST. I cannot believe the number of compliments I received from friends and family who were at the wedding. They were the most professional and interacted with our guests all night long. During the day, we moved through our timeline so smoothly but never felt rushed in my special moments with my husband. We laughed, we cried, we danced- every moment was captured by them and we are so thankful! I was hoping that the weather would cooperate for some golden hour portraits- not only did Jeremy get the most BEAUTIFUL golden hour photos but he grabbed us just as the sun came peaking out of the clouds and got a few photos of us with my veil in the wind. I am OBSESSED with both sets of these portraits. I’ve already recommended OLAS to friends and family who are getting married. They were the best vendor I could have asked for to capture our special day!

I feel so lucky to have found these amazing people! Heather and her incredible team feel like family to us, even though we only met a few months ago. They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible. During the wedding, Heather would always make sure I was comfortable by giving me flattering poses and pointing her portable fan at me when I was too hot from dancing at the reception, ha! She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day. I will never be able to forget what it felt like, thanks to these incredible people with unreal talent. I also cannot believe how easy it was to book her and for such a reasonable price! Booking Heather and her team was truly the best decision we could have made. I recommend them to anyone from all walks of life. You will be welcomed and taken care of like a friend or even family!

Millennial Lens Photography LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, Amber was fast, personal, and incredibly effective in their communication style. Her passion for their craft was evident in the beautiful photos she captured that truly tell the story of our special day. Amber was our wedding photographer for seven or eight hours, and she made sure we were both feeling comfortable (my husband and I are both incredibly awkward at taking pictures) but she walked us through everything and directed us on where to go and gave us ideas on what to do. We even mentioned to her at one point months later that we were missing a photo that would be important and she ended up finding it for us later - I’m sure that wasn’t easy after looking over photos of pictures and finding one specific one! My husband and I are thrilled with the quality of Millennial Lens Photography's work and will cherish our photos forever! Highly recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding photographer!

When asked when I first knew I wanted to be a photographer, it's hard to pinpoint a specific time, as I feel I have always had an eye for photography. From ripping up magazines, photoshoots with friends, the rise of Tumblr & Instagram, to taking a 35mm black & white film photography class in high school, going on to get my BFA in photography, and establishing my business - photography is truly in everything I do. I have been photographing weddings for over 7 years now. My work is a combination of unfiltered documentary, funky fashion editorial, and timeless fine art with a modern twist.

Kate is wonderful, very professional and knowledgeable. She made our whole family very comfortable and relaxed. The photo shoot was so much fun and the results were outstanding We would highly recommend Kate English Photography…wonderful experience

HEY! I'm Liv Lyszyk Maxwell (pronounced LY-zick, blame it on my Polish and Ukrainian roots) and I am a 20-something wedding and portrait photographer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Most days you can find me designing for my other business Liv Lyszyk Prints, wearing leggings (I don't do zippers), and eating too much sushi. I spend my time fighting for equity in the interest of all marginalized groups. I am always looking for my next travel adventure whether that be to a new town on lake Michigan, or half way around the world, I want to see it all.

Liv Lyszyk Photography was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Liv captured every beautiful moment of our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception with such care and artistry. Every photo feels alive — full of the genuine joy and emotion of the day. What really stood out was how effortlessly Liv interacted with our guests. She made everyone feel so comfortable and natural that the photos truly reflect people’s real smiles, laughter, and happiness for us. It’s rare to find someone who can blend professionalism with such warmth and authenticity. We also loved that Liv worked solo. We’ve been to weddings with teams of photographers running around, and it can feel intrusive — but Liv’s presence was calm, confident, and completely unobtrusive. Every moment was beautifully documented without taking away from the experience itself. We are beyond thrilled with our photos and so grateful to have had Liv as part of our wedding day. Her talent, professionalism, and kind spirit made the experience unforgettable.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

We worked with Ashlyn for our wedding vow renewal and she was able to capture every idea that came to my head! She was all in and awesome to work with! Very easy going and easy to communicate with also! So happy we went with Willow & Rove to capture something so special to us!
