Anna Beth Smith 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Central 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.

“Working with Anna Beth Smith was a breath of fresh air from start to finish. She communicated with us in a straightforward way that made planning feel easy, and on our wedding day she moved through our family and friends with such grace that most people barely noticed her capturing the moment. Her photos are sharp and intentional, with an upscale quality that shows how much thought she puts into each shot. What really stood out was her genuine personality paired with professionalism—she felt like part of our celebration, not just someone behind the camera. We got our photos back before promised and couldn't believe how clean and polished they looked. Anna Beth delivered exactly what she promised and then some, and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who cares about their couples as much as their craft.”

She was easy to communicate with, responding quickly to all of our questions, and was always open and transparent about her process. Ellie makes taking photos playful, easy, and fun!

Rayan Anastor Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Central 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.”

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.”

“We can’t say enough amazing things about Promani! They did both our engagement and wedding photos, and every single image took our breath away. Their professionalism, creativity, and warmth made both experiences feel effortless and fun. What truly set them apart, though, was how unbelievably accommodating they were when we completely changed our wedding plans—moving everything from Michigan to Arizona with only three months to re-plan for 80 guests! Promani handled it with total grace and zero hesitation. They coordinated everything seamlessly, showed up ready for anything, and captured our day perfectly despite all the last-minute changes. Our photos are beyond stunning, but what we’ll remember most is how calm, kind, and supportive they were during such a whirlwind time. We’ll treasure these images forever and can’t recommend Promani enough to anyone looking for a professional photographer who truly goes above and beyond!”

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 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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!”

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!

“Jen was absolutely incredible to work with! From the very beginning, her communication was clear, prompt, and so reassuring. She brought such a friendly, calming presence to our wedding day and truly went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos she captured are absolutely stunning. We can’t thank her enough for being such an important part of our wedding day! Highly, highly recommend!”

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.

“Karly was incredible to work with and her photos truly captured how the day felt. She was so professional but at the same time made us feel like we were old friends taking photos. We felt so comfortable and had so much fun with her which helped the photos turn out so great. She was able to accommodate all of our requests (some being last minute) with such grace and I am forever appreciative of her!”
