Alexis Brianne Photography

  • Serves Big Rapids, MI

Hey it's me Alexis! I am a Traverse City based wedding photographer! I have had the honor of photographing beautiful weddings all around Michigan the past 4 years. Having traveled to Arizona, Tennessee, Nebraska, Florida, South Carolina, California, and more, I am open and ready to travel abroad for your wedding as well!

Alexis Brianne Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was easily understandable, thorough, and very organized, which helped put our minds at ease throughout the wedding planning process. Alexis' photos and editing skills are truly amazing - there were so many beautiful pictures to choose from, it was almost overwhelming. Her attention to detail and ability to freeze special moments in time is just incredible. Before the wedding, Alexis was in constant contact with us, and on the day of, her calm presence helped reassure my wife when her anxiety started to get the best of her. When I needed to make a last-minute change, Alexis was incredibly reassuring and helped me work through it. We really appreciated the time she spent with us going over specific shots we wanted, as well as her suggestions for other unique angles and perspectives. Compared to some of our friends who paid almost 15,000 for their wedding photography, Alexis' work and value is unmatched. In fact, I even suggested she consider raising her prices (after our wedding, of course!). Overall, Alexis Brianne Photography exceeded our expectations in every way and we couldn't be happier with the results.

When we aren't behind the camera, we are soaking in every memory with our boy and our wild animals at home. It is such a blessing to us, that you are here. We can't wait to meet you!

You can usually find me out on our boat with my husband and three children exploring the Great Lakes. When I am not exploring Michigan, I am definitely traveling to explore other areas around the world. I love photographing the fleeting moments with my children as they experience life is something: A smile, a tear, the belly laugh, concentration and everything in between. This fascination is what carries over to my photography. The connection between two people who intend to spend the rest of their lives together is magical. It is expressive and full of fleeting moments that one may forget unless it is captured in a photograph.

Rayan will be the easiest vendor you choose! Her work is beyond phenomenal and she will go above and beyond (literally) to get the shots you want! Her professionalism and calm nature is since a comforting presence throughout the entire wedding process-from pre wedding, the day of and afterwards. I will recommend Rayan time and again, over and over. The quality and detail of her work and the product she delivers is worth your investment and so much more.

  • Serves Big Rapids, MI

I'm so glad you're here! My name is Lindsay, and I was put on this earth to capture all the special, in-between moments that tell your story. When I’m not trying out a new recipe, kidnapping a puppy to love on, or packing my bags for my next adventure, I’m spending time with couples telling their story in the most authentic way possible. If you’re not afraid of some PDA, or getting a bit dirty just to grab the perfect shot, then we’re probably the perfect match.

Lindsay is AMAZING! Seriously, stop researching and book her right now because she was an absolute dream to work with, is SO talented, and all our photos are stunning. Starting from the very beginning when we had our intro call with her, she was so kind, flexible, organized, and truly invested in documenting our love story. We used Lindsay for both our engagement and wedding photographer, and I can easily say the results of both FAR exceeded our expectations. She captured ALL of the special moments throughout the day in an authentic and beautiful manner, so now when we look back at them we feel like she captured our day perfectly. Here's all the finer details, if you are interested! 1.) Our biggest fear/challenge about hiring a photographer was working with someone who didn't make us feel comfortable or relaxed or someone who didn't know how to prompt us for posing. Lindsay was NONE of those things. She instantly made us feel so at ease from the second we met her and her prompts are so easy to follow and produced the best, most natural and authentic photos. 2.) The most helpful aspect of working with Lindsay pre-wedding was her STELLAR organization and responsiveness. Seriously, this girl is organized to a T and always responded to my (sometimes VERY lengthy) emails in a timely manner. She was always so patient with my endless questions, and even took time out of her personal life to preview our wedding photo location to pick out the best spots! How amazing is that?? 3.) Working with Lindsay the day of the wedding was perfect. She arrived to our getting ready location early to make sure she gave herself plenty of time to capture our details photos and followed the schedule perfectly the remainder of the day. She kept us on schedule when we needed it, captured all of our special moments, was prepared and organized, and followed our very detailed (and complex) family photo requests to make sure allllllll the different family combos were included. All in all, if you are looking for a kind, genuine, authentic, organized, talented, and professional photographer.....Lindsay is your girl. We could not be any happier with our experience working with her and the STUNNING engagement and wedding photos she produces. Lindsay honestly feels like she's become our friend and I'm honestly sad that our time working with her for our wedding has come to an end, but we plan on recommending her to everyone and anyone so hopefully our paths will cross again in the future! We love you Lindsay 3

Her communication style put us at ease and made the photography planning a breeze.

Not only did she make us feel incredibly comfortable during the personal shots, but she caught moments in which I was completely unaware of her presence.

These candid photos will live in your memories. In a time where moments are fleeting, our goal is to go beyond just a “photo”, but the story and emotion behind each frame. Documenting belly laugh, kiss and small glance is a story waiting to be told.

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!!

  • Serves Big Rapids, MI

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

Kay was referred to me by two different brides. I had seen their wedding pictures posted and reached out immediately. The turnaround time for receiving our photos took TWO WEEKS. I know brides that didn’t get their photos back for months. It was so special to be able to see them so quickly after our wedding. Especially considering the exceptional quality and attention to detail in each image. The final edits were flawless, and the photographer managed to enhance the natural beauty. I got every single photo I had put on my shot-list. But what stood out most was when we noticed that we didn’t get a picture of my parents alone and I asked her if we ever took one. She offered to photoshop a picture of them together and the final result was unbelievable. You would have never known they were not standing next to each other. My parents could not be happier with it. I wholeheartedly recommend Kay to anyone in need of capturing their special day. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to delivering outstanding results make them a top choice. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

**I will no longer be paying for this listing, if you're interested in having me photograph your wedding, head to my website to take a look at my work and inquire through my contact form.** * 16 years of creating art from your love. My goal as your photographer is to serve you from beginning to end. You deserve to have images that take you back, that help you relive your day over and over again. These moments deserve to be remembered. We're here to tell your story in the most thoughtful, authentic way possible.

I’m typically not that comfortable in front of a camera but Aliscia gives a lot of praise which helped make me feel less awkward, like I was actually doing things right. She seemed to know when I was getting in my head too much and would think of ways to make me laugh and relax like have my husband tickle me or do something very random and silly, which in turn created some of our favorite photos! She somehow is able to capture true genuine emotions of a simple moment. Now, every time I walk by our photo wall at home I can’t help but smile and be taken back to those moments and feelings. This woman has a gift and is truly amazing at what she does!

I am an intimate wedding photographer based out of my home state, the Mitten. To sum it up, I'm laid back, chill, and ready to hang out. I call myself an intimate wedding photographer because I work best with couples who want a smaller, more close-knit feel to their wedding day and because I offer my clients a sense of familiarity, and comfortability and help them feel relaxed and ready for the day ahead. By the end-we're great friends! My hope with every session I have is that you'll find not only the pictures beautiful but the shared experience one to remember as well.

My husband and I had the greatest experience working with Kaitlin, I cannot say enough good things about her! We both are not super comfortable being in front of the camera and she made the entire experience so comfortable for us and so fun! She brought the best vibes to our day and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and wedding day hype girl! I am so lucky to have found her and we would love to work with her again!! I know booking with a vendor that you never met before can be stressful but Kaitlin made us feel so at ease and comfortable. Her portfolio really speaks for itself. She does amazing work and we LOVE how the pictures turned out as well! She just captured the day so perfectly! We highly recommend working with Kaitlin for your big day!

People often bring me around to document the good times. Whether it be a wedding, a family gathering, a milestone, or any of the other exciting landmarks we experience in life. I couldn’t be more grateful for this. My goal in my work is to capture your story in a true and honest way. This means becoming part of your event and documenting the story from the inside out. I believe the best images come from real, authentic, unaltered moments. These moments aren’t staged or set up… they are captured.

Michael Murphy IV Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, their communication was effective, thoughtful, and intentional, with quick responses to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, Michael put us at ease as the bride and groom, as well as all of our family and guests, knowing he would beautifully capture our day with ease. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - candid, genuine, beautiful, and natural. We are thrilled with the final photos, which perfectly encapsulate the easy-going and joyful atmosphere of our special day. We highly recommend Michael Murphy IV Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.
