Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with our wedding photographers for our Ford Field wedding was beyond incredible! The attention to detail and their professionalism were absolutely out of this world. We had the pleasure of working with Chelcie, the owner, for our engagement shoot, and her vision was stunning. For our wedding day, Jaclyn and Jeremy were our photographers, and they were nothing short of amazing. Their talent and creativity were mind-blowing. We didn’t have to worry about anything—Jaclyn and Jeremy picked the perfect spots for downtown photos, guided us on poses, and everything turned out better than we could have imagined. They were so friendly that we felt comfortable being ourselves, and they made us feel absolutely beautiful. If you're looking for amazing photos for your special day (and you absolutely should be!), please hire this team! Every time we look at our pictures, we’re brought to tears. We didn’t feel like just another client, but like we had made true friends. Can we give them 2000 stars? Highly, highly recommended!

Awarded Best of Zola
Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was an absolute dream to work with. I thought that a live band for our wedding would be out of our reach, but LPE was so easy to work with and what an incredible value! Our band, LPE Snapshot was incredible and our ceremony musicians were amazing too! The vocalists were high energy and kept the whole event moving. They were great Emcess and they even added some special non-traditional reception activities for us. They were super flexible and played all the songs we asked for- even some very “niche” tracks we asked for during the ceremony. So many of my guests said the band was their favorite part of the reception. I highly recommend LPE entertainment! (I am also a musician myself so I’m very picky!)

My mission is to freeze your milestones forever in time. I vow to make our experience together comfortable, full of laughter and unique to you! I truly mean it when I say that I want to be your friend. I will get to know you, encourage you and cheer you on as you navigate life.

Awarded Best of Zola
McKenzie was everything I could have asked for in a photographer. I spent a lot of time looking through photographers in the area, as having nice photos to look back on was super important to me. We don't live near where our venue was, so I was a bit nervous about not being able to meet the vendors ahead of time, but this was not a problem at all. McKenzie was very communicative and video called me for our meetings, was up front about the costs and payments, and honestly just so so sweet. I genuinely felt like she was just as excited about my wedding as I was. Her positive attitude was so reassuring and I knew right away that we made the right choice. On our wedding day, she gave great direction for posing, which was super helpful as our bridal party (bride & groom included) were not very experienced working with a professional photographer. I have a pretty big blended family, and McKenzie was so helpful organizing everybody and making sure everyone looked their best for photos (even making it work when some family members made things complicated). We had a videographer as well that McKenzie had never worked with before, but you couldn't tell that they had just met that day, as the worked so well together. When people were at risk of interrupting our photos, she kindly asked them to move, and snuck me out for sunset photos during the ceremony with ease. We had our "sneak peek" photos sent to us only a few days after the wedding which were so sweet to look at during our honeymoon. She even included a sweet card in our card box. Not only is she talented, but she is kind, helpful, understanding, and it felt like I was working with a friend (despite basically being strangers). These are photos I will have to look back on to remember these moments forever and I am so grateful I chose the right photographer. I would highly recommend McKenzie to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, or a photographer for any service she offers.

She even sent getting ready tips for my bridal party! She goes above and beyond and is such an asset. I know nothing about hair or makeup and she walked me through every step of the process with kindness and patience.

Hi, I'm Andrea. I'm a full-time photographer based in the wild north of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I specialize in nature elopements and small, intimate weddings in the UP and throughout the state of Michigan. My biggest passion is to be able to document your love story in creative, hauntingly beautiful, timeless images for you to keep forever. And give you an experience that allows you to relax, be yourself, and savor all the moments without pressure.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew I wanted to work with Andrea immediately from viewing her work on her Instagram page. Her style was exactly what my husband and I were looking for in regards to how we wanted our wedding day documented. Every exchange and phone call with Andrea was as if I was talking to a life long friend who just happened to live 7 hours away. The first time meeting Andrea we also got to meet her assistant Shonda who was the one to shoot our wedding since Andrea was already booked for our date. We planned to view some location sites and ended up just sight seeing around the UP and having an amazing day! Andrea is so passionate about the UP and loves sharing amazing places and local stories with people she meets, we almost forgot we were looking for ceremony locations. We ended up doing a short engagement shot with Andrea which was so comfortable and relaxing and fun to do! Everything she directed us to do was natural and photographed beautifully. She always claims she’s awkward but don’t let her fool you. She will 100% get distracted by rocks, flowers, or mushrooms though, and if you have any interest in nature she is someone you should definitely work with. When our wedding weekend came around, there was some challenges with some strong winds, so the ceremony location the day before of the wedding needed to be changed. Andrea and Shonda scouted new locations for us and found the most beautiful location, it was so perfect I dare say it turned out better than the original location and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Shonda was amazing to work with the day of the wedding, her and Andrea have similar personalities and work styles it was such a pleasure to have her shoot our wedding for us. More so it was SUCH a pleasure meeting these two amazing ladies who were played such an important part in our wedding day. I cannot recommend Lume Photography and Andrea and Shonda enough. They do everything they can to make sure your wedding day is all about you and your partner and make everything so relaxed for you, that you can focus on the love you share on your day.

I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you all, and I appreciate each and every one of you!

Mandy is the most incredible photographer. She helped us coordinate our schedule, pick locations, and provided helpful ideas to make even more memorable moments. She really understood the vision we had and helped create the elegant and timeless wedding that we wanted documented in our photos. I loved working with her so much we have hired her 10 additional times to document our lives since marriage (and will continue to hire her in years to come). She has always been so professional and kind - basically has become an extension of our family documenting every important moment.

I am a travel photographer based out of Louisville, Kentucky. I have always been the friend with the camera admiring those around me. I am truly captivated by people simply being people, always finding beauty in human connections and the REAL. My goal is to be a calming presence, help the day run smooth, and ensure everyone in front of the camera feels COMFORTABLE. I lean toward documentary style photography emphasizing what makes your love unique.

Kaitlyn Carter Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, Kaitlyn was responsive, easy-going, but also very professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, her calm and friendly presence was so comforting, and she captured every moment beautifully - from the small, intimate details as we were getting ready to the larger, posed family shots. The quality of Kaitlyn's work is simply stunning, with a documentary-style approach and gorgeous natural lighting that perfectly encapsulated the passion and love of our special day. We are thrilled with the photos from our engagement session and wedding day and couldn't recommend Kaitlyn Carter Photography more highly.

Hi, I’m Katy! Your new favorite Detroit, MI based photographer. I am always down to travel and always here to hype you up. I really just love love. Since 2016, I’ve been capturing love stories with heart, laughter, and a whole lotta good energy. I’ll guide you when needed, but I’m also all about letting the real magic unfold naturally. Whether you're camera-shy or a total ham, we’ll keep it fun, relaxed, and full of moments that actually feel like you. When I’m not photographing amazing couples, you’ll find me exploring new restaurants or bars, headbanging at a concert, or yelling at the Detroit Red Wings like they can hear me through the TV.

From the moment we decided to go with Katy from Meininger Media LLC, we knew she was the perfect fit. She was so easy to talk with and communicated with us every step of the way, always supporting our ideas and willing to listen. Katy was a joy to have at our wedding, and everybody there loved her. The photos she captured were absolutely stunning - we couldn't imagine our wedding day without her there. The quality of her work and the value she provided was incredible. We are over the moon with how all the photos turned out and will cherish them forever.

My name is Erica Cooke and I'm your everyday neighbor and friend. I live in Grandville, MI with my husband, our 2 boys (ages 18 and 19) and our 17 chickens. I love to travel, enjoy the outdoors, get tattoos and garden. I love my family... Like LOVE my family. I'm often babysitting nieces or nephews and never miss an opportunity to hang out with my 4 younger siblings and their families. I'm pretty laid back and can adapt to most any situation. This helps me be the best version of myself for you. I love LOVE. I am very inclusive and affirming of all relationships. Thank you for considering me as part of your very special day!

Let's Get Married! was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding ceremony. From the very first interaction, the officiant was extremely responsive and quick to reply to all of our questions. We only had a few days to get married when I got the ship out date, and she was able to make it work seamlessly, providing everything we needed to make our special day perfect. The officiant was so nice and didn't push her own ideas, but rather made great suggestions that fit our vision. As a military couple, we really appreciated how excited she was to make our wedding day truly special. Overall, the officiant's knowledge and professionalism were top-notch, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Hello! My name is Mallory, and I’m excited to help you plan a stress-free, dream wedding. I have a passion for simplistic and elegant wedding styling but am equally thrilled to help bring any vision you have to life. My background includes working as a bridal consultant, where I helped brides find their perfect wedding day outfits. My wife and I live in the Grand Rapids area with our two beautiful Golden-Aussies. When I’m not working, you can find me visiting local breweries, playing volleyball, or (most often) winning at Scrabble against my wife. I look forward to working with you to create the wedding of your dreams!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Mallory on a wedding at the Grand Rapids Art Museum, with the reception held at McKay Ballroom. To say I’d gladly work alongside her again is an understatement. Mallory is truly an essential part of any wedding dream team. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she carries herself with a calm, collected professionalism throughout every stage of the day. When last-minute timeline changes came up, she handled them with grace and efficiency, helping everything run smoothly without a hitch. The day simply wouldn’t have been the same without her guidance and expertise. I now recommend her to all of my clients and would be thrilled to work with her on future events. She’s the kind of person you want by your side on a wedding day—I can’t wait to collaborate again!
