  • Serves Carp Lake, MI

For more than a decade, I’ve photographed weddings throughout Northern Michigan and beyond with a documentary approach and an editorial eye. I love beautiful design, but I’m most drawn to the people, relationships, and unscripted moments that make your wedding uniquely yours. My goal is to create timeless photographs that let you stay fully present on your wedding day and become even more meaningful in the years to come.

“Anna and Jules were the most perfect photographers for our wedding day. If I could give them 1,000 stars, I would! From the moment we first spoke, they were prompt, easy to work with, and incredibly friendly, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly amazing and unmatched - they captured the true beauty and intimacy of our wedding, never getting in the way but always there to document every important moment. Anna and Jules made me feel special at every turn, and I can't imagine having anyone else photograph us that day. Anna also photographed our engagement pictures so we knew we were in good hands from the start. She was incredibly helpful with planning our wedding day and bringing our vision for our wedding pictures to life. We will definitely be using them again for our other big life moments, and I can't recommend them enough to any couple looking for wedding photographers they can trust completely.”

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Carp Lake, MI

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 Carp Lake, MI

Hi, I’m Avery — a Northern Michigan wedding photographer based in Traverse City. I’m passionate about capturing honest, documentary-style imagery that tells your story through real, unposed moments. My approach is calm and intentional, focusing on connection and the beauty in the in-between. Photography, for me, is about more than just beautiful images — it’s about preserving emotion and memory in their truest form. I’d be so honored to capture your day in a way that feels genuine, timeless, and full of heart.

“From our first interaction, Avery was incredibly responsive and made scheduling so easy, which we really appreciated during the planning process. We were drawn to her documentary style approach since I don't photograph well when posing, and she delivered exactly what we wanted—she had this amazing ability to blend into the background and capture genuine moments without us feeling like we were being watched. Even with just the sneak peeks, we're blown away by how dreamy the photos look. On our wedding day, Avery was an absolute joy to be around and went beyond just taking pictures. She helped us with timeline planning, served as our personal hype woman, and made the whole experience feel effortless. We're already counting down the days until we get our full gallery back and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly gets it.”

They were so fun to be around too, and made everyone feel at ease - even my now-husband, who doesn't love getting his picture taken.

“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”

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 :)”

Bold, unfiltered wedding photography for couples who want their photos to actually feel like them. You don't need to know how to pose. You don't need a Pinterest-perfect wedding. And you definitely don't need to tone yourselves down for my camera. I'm Katy, a Detroit wedding photographer capturing the big feelings, belly laughs, happy tears, packed dance floors, killer portraits, and all the beautifully chaotic shit in between. Most of my couples tell me they're awkward in front of a camera. Good. Those are my favorite people. My job isn't to turn you into models. It's to give you enough direction to look damn good while still letting you be yourselves.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Where to begin? Finding Katy was truly one of the biggest blessings of our wedding process. It was very important to find a photographer who we felt had, and actively displayed, the ability to photograph in an inclusive, respectful and honest manner. We are an interfaith couple with family and friends who fall everywhere along the social, identity and religious spectrum. Once we found Katy, we were blown away by the love, care and diversity showcased in her portfolio. Upon meeting with her virtually, we were convinced that she was the right person. Katy is kind, understanding and VERY good at what she does. When it comes to the work, Katy was proactive without being pushy and really took to heart what we wanted out of our photos. Over the course of the experience, we were able to develop a real friendship with her because she is that good of a person. The day of the event, Katy was locked in and on top of everything. Prior to our weekend, she had done an amazing job of giving us prep sheets and coordinating as much detail as possible so the big day could just glide. Katy and her second shooter Jen (who was amazing, too!) were professional, fun and didn't miss a moment of the day. Everything from planned photos to impromptu shots felt fun and natural. Getting back the album completely blew past our expectations. Every photo captured exactly what we had discussed with her. So many photographs left us speechless. Katy should be at the top of your list if you want great photos full of love, care, and magic. She is down to earth and was the only photographer we spoke to that didn't make us feel like we were just another gig for them.”

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

“Mae Krell Photo was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, they were communicative, professional, and made us feel so comfortable and at ease. As a queer couple where one of us is plus-size, we were nervous about being in front of the camera, but Mae put us right at ease. The photos they captured are absolutely beautiful - they have such an artistic eye and really highlighted the love and joy of our special day. We had never had professional photos taken before, but Mae made the entire experience comfortable and affordable. We would highly recommend Mae Krell Photo to any couple looking for gorgeous, personalized wedding photography.”

Hello! My name is Brigette and I am based out of the Chicago land area, but make it my mission to travel for photography as much as possible! I love the color purple, crazy hats, funk music, & all things outdoors! Traveling is my number one passion! I LOVE connecting with couples and getting to tell their love story authentically. I like to connect my subjects with nature and use natural lighting to create breathtaking images that emphasize my love for the natural beauty we find outside every day!

“Brigette was so beyond amazing to work with, a true gem of a person. My husband and I did an elopement style wedding in Chicago and it truly felt as though Brigette went above and beyond for us, making our day so perfect. Our photos were absolutely stunning, they are perfection; we are so grateful and in love with how they turned out, she is a true master of her craft.”

Hi!! I'm Jen, the heart and soul behind Jen Marie Imagery! I'm passionate about creating unforgettable memories through my lens. Beyond being a dedicated photographer, I'm a coffee lover, taco enthusiast, concert junkie, Netflix aficionado, and proud pet parent. My journey with photography started as a childhood passion, using up all my mom's film on disposable cameras. What began as a hobby transformed into my life's calling in 2016 when I booked my first wedding. From that moment, I knew I had found my true purpose. There’s nothing I love more than photographing love!

“We truly could not have asked for a more incredible wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Jen and the second photographer made us feel so comfortable, confident, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. They captured every single moment so beautifully — the big emotional moments, the tiny details, and all the candid memories we never want to forget. Jen sent sneak peaks the day after and I was obsessed! We’ve already had so many people compliment our photos, and we honestly will treasure them forever. If you are looking for someone who goes above and beyond and truly pours their heart into their work, Jen is your girl! We are beyond grateful and cannot recommend her enough!”
