  • Starts at $6,500

As a Visual Folklore couple you'll have lots of time with Christine to collaborate on your dream images. If you're looking for a hands-on, helpful, and fun photographer, look no further! I'm here for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot begin to talk about how wonderful Christine is--as a professional, as an artist, but as an individual who deeply cares about her craft and the people she is creating memories for. Christine is spunky and makes even the stiffest models let loose; she makes being photographed comfortable and enjoyable. Her photos truly do speak for themselves. She does an amazing job capturing personalities, candids, but also the deeply emotional and sentimental moments and portraits every bride and groom want to have from their wedding day. Through our engagement session and wedding day, you can truly see our love for each other and personalities shine through in her images. This is truly because of the thoughtfulness, passion, and love Christine has for her profession and the couples she photographs. I cannot emphasize enough that you need Visual Folklore for your wedding or other significant life event!

You want your wedding photos to look and feel like you. You don’t want to turn the pages of your album years from now and wonder why unnatural colors were ever a photography trend, and you don’t want to regret looking overly posed or awkward. That’s where I come in.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey had been the wedding photographer for a friend of ours and when we saw what she had done, we knew we wanted to use her services too. We not only used her for our wedding, we also did an engagement session and we had the best experience! My husband needed some help being comfortable around a camera and she made it fun and also captured so many candid photos which was perfect because he can run out of smiles if he is posing too much. We enjoyed all the time we got to spend with Kelsey because she is able to provide timeless photos that melt the hearts of all those that see them and she can also keep things moving quickly and efficiently! Our wedding was in February and there had been a snow storm a couple days before, she was able to make my dream outdoor winter photos a reality and I still can't stop looking through them all! She kept us and our wedding party on task when we needed to be but always made sure to ask if there were other photos I wanted. I cannot recommend Kelsey enough to anyone who is at a life milestone, she will win your hearts with her attitude, professionalism, and overall demeanor, not to mention the fantastic pictures you will receive! I hope that we have another opportunity to work with Kelsey at our next life milestone!! Thanks Kelsey!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding cake was a highly anticipated part of our special day, and the team at Zingerman’s Bakehouse truly exceeded all of our expectations. During our initial consultation, Alyce was extremely helpful in guiding us through the many design options and hand-sketched the most beautiful cake that perfectly captured our wedding style and vision. The tasting box that they put together for us was absolutely delicious, and my husband and I had the best time picking out flavors from their many offerings and recommendations before finally deciding on their vanilla chiffon cake with lemon curd and raspberry buttercream. We really wanted to incorporate fresh floral arrangements on our cake, and the Zingerman’s Bakehouse team worked seamlessly with our florist to coordinate the design and set-up. On the day of our wedding, the cake was stunning and exactly how we envisioned it, and our guests endlessly complimented how absolutely delicious it was. After our wedding, the Bakehouse team also went above and beyond to help us coordinate for a replacement top tier for our anniversary after our hotel mistakenly threw ours away. We really can't thank Zingerman’s Bakehouse enough for their incredible work and for making the entire process easy and stress-free. We highly recommend Zingerman’s Bakehouse to any other couples looking for a beautiful and delicious cake for their big day.

Stonebridge Golf Club was the perfect venue for our wedding. I worked at Stonebridge for 6 years and met my husband there, and I wanted nothing more than to get married at the beautiful venue. The staff was very easy to communicate with - Kim was always quick to respond and available whenever we had questions (even the silliest of questions). Kim and Jeff took care of everything we needed and made sure our day was exactly how we envisioned. The venue itself is beautiful, with indoor and outdoor spaces that provided a fun, open atmosphere for our guests. The tiki bar was a big hit! Justin, the chef was able to accommodate needs and made the best Swedish meatballs! Considering all that they handled for us and the quality of the venue, Stonebridge was a great value. They provide chairs/tables, linens, table settings, and all food and beverages making it an easy one stop shop. We would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful, accommodating venue and thoughtful staff for their special day.

  • Starts at $1,100
  • Serves Chelsea, MI

Since 2007, I have truly enjoyed sharing music and great times with old friends and new. From a cross country trip to Reno or a house party here in Ann Arbor, each gig has been a gift of sounds and fun for me. I believe the right music can bring people together in a way nothing else can - making a good time great, and a great time unforgettable. I really can’t even call this my “job”, it is an opportunity to make people happy and share my love of music. The music... THE song that takes you back to a memory of past days or a new one you just made.

Patrick went above and beyond for our wedding. He knew what questions to ask us for the ceremony music and timing, made our guest feel relaxed, and even slyly raising the mic up to our mouths without interrupting our speeches so everyone could hear us. He was pleasant to work with and had very calm demeanor which was incredibly helpful and appreciated on a very stressful day. We couldn’t have pulled our wedding together without Patrick helping us out for our ceremony , cocktail hour, speeches, dinner music, and late night dancing. Patrick is a genuinely nice guy who was very present to work with. I will be recommending him to all I know who needs a DJ and is already going to be the DJ at our anniversary parties!

He and his team put a lot of thought and effort into set up, consulted with us on exactly what we wanted, came prepared with instructions and information so we were never left asking questions, and made the event fun, informative, and just open enough to let us mingle while also teaching us how to make new drinks. Highly recommend and our other teams are already looking into booking them soon for their own get-togethers after they saw our set up!!

Thank you for visiting my page. My name is Nezrin, you can call me Nez. My inspiration comes from everyday things and sounds that surround us, often overlooked, that make us feel good. My heart is driven by the desire to convey emotions and narrate love stories, so my photography transcends the ordinary, offering a blend of simplicity, natural elegance, and timeless beauty. My work is not just about capturing moments. It's about unveiling the profound connection between couples and making each wedding distinct and deeply personal.

We had a great experience! She made us feel so comfortable, turning a walk in the park into some memories of our wedding day that will last for a lifetime. When we reached out to Lady Moon, she responded quickly. We knew we wanted to be married outside but didn't have a location at the time, so she helped us pick the perfect spot for a fall wedding. She was ready to go when we arrived, making us feel relaxed and comfortable immediately. She had several spots picked out for photos and suggested an excellent location for our ceremony. We didn't have to do anything, and the photos were amazing! Overall, we were so happy with the service that we used her a second time for our family photo, and we'll continue to do so in the future. I would highly recommend Lady Moon Photography.

Follow along on instagram (sweetheatheranne) to see our latest creations!

Sweet Heather Anne made the cake for our September 2022 wedding and it was absolutely amazing!! They made the whole process so easy and the cake was BEAUTIFUL. We gave Heather freedom to make a design that fit to our wedding colors and mood board and she knocked it out of the park. Our cake had sugar flowers on it which were so realistic that many guests thought they were real flowers. The best part is that the sugar flowers were saved when the cake was cut, so we actually still have them now in a vase as decoration in our home, which always reminds us of the beautiful day :) We had two flavors: chocolate praline and blood orange olive oil. I am something of a cake snob and would never serve a cake made with american buttercream at my wedding. SHA makes a swiss meringue buttercream that uses local dairy ingredients! The cake was so delicious and our guests raved about it, especially the blood orange olive oil flavor. The chocolate praline was my personal favorite. You can't go wrong with SHA! We give them 10/5 stars! 3

Hello there, lovely! My name is Yana, I am a European living in Michigan, crazy in love with the California coastline and zinfandels, ambient music and a good hearty pho. I am also a documentary photographer specializing in boutique weddings & adventure elopements available to travel worldwide. Before finding my niche in wedding photography, I studied extensively in the classical street photography style, which provides the foundation of my approach: capturing "the moment" and telling visual stories. Let's dream up your wedding day captured in unposed, authentic, moody, film-like images.

Our engagement and wedding photos turned out better than we ever could have imagined. Yana is such a pure and genuine soul and she is extremely pleasant to work with. She was so kind and patient with us during our pandemic change of plans and she ended up flying across the country to shoot our microwedding. She and her partner, were two steps ahead of us at every turn on our wedding night, capturing the most important moments. 11/10 would recommend her for any event.

We fell in love with Matthaei when we lived in Ann Arbor and always had it in mind as a ceremony venue. Obviously since the site was a botanical garden, it was stunning. We got married in the Perennial Garden late June and everything was in bloom. It made for an absolutely beautiful backdrop for our photos afterward. I have to give a special shout-out to Monica, the events coordinator. She was absolutely on top of her game and was always super quick to get back to us. She even set us up with parasols the morning of to help our guests stay cool in the sun. They were all white so they looked cute in the photos as well! Cost was super reasonable, we paid 1800 for the deluxe package. Definitely recommend that or the premium if you don't want to deal with set up and takedown of the chairs. They did a great job with setup and everything was exactly as we wanted. Monica was also on-site for our rehearsal and helped us with all the last minute questions we had.

LG Event Design is a full service event planning company with 12+ years of experience ranging from the most intimate, heartfelt weddings all the way to the flawless execution of multi-million dollar corporate functions.

From the moment that my fiancé and I Zoomed with Lisa during our initial consult, we felt at ease and in good hands. We laughed, bonded, and began our planning journey together that would last over a year. I had a lot of big dreams and visions, and Lisa took each of them seriously but respectfully as we navigated budgets and venue restrictions. I often referred to Lisa as my fairy god mother because she truly made my vision come to life. While she created and executed thoughtful details that brought me to tears over my wedding weekend, she was also a solace and cheerleader for me during the emotional, difficult parts of wedding planning. Her advice, wisdom, and knowledge about the wedding industry is vast but also detailed and tailored to her clients. She quickly picked up on our likes and dislikes and made sure to introduce us to vendors that we would mesh well with. Lisa continuously impressed us with her knowledge of venues and vendors – sometimes knowing more about venues than the venue itself! I never felt as if she was trying to upsell us in order to make more money or to work with a vendor just because she liked them. Lisa’s guidance and professionalism led us to having the most perfect, flawless day that we could have ever hoped for. When my hotel room didn’t have a full length mirror while I was getting ready, she bought one on her way to the venue. That is only one small example of the attention to detail and love that Lisa puts towards her clients and events. She is a seasoned professional that is enjoyable, reliable, and wonderful to work with. I will miss working with her. Thank you for such an amazing experience and incredible wedding!

Here’s a polished version of your review that captures your experience while maintaining a professional tone: --- As an event planner at the University of Michigan, I organize numerous faculty receptions and gatherings throughout the year, and Peridot has become my go-to venue for events of 35–40 people. Their upstairs space is a true gem—beautifully decorated, warm, and inviting. It creates the perfect atmosphere for conversation and connection. The food at Peridot is consistently superb, and the cocktails are truly outstanding—easily some of the best in Ann Arbor. What truly sets Peridot apart, though, is the exceptional service. Kelsey and her team are a joy to work with: professional, accommodating, and incredibly attentive to every detail. Whenever I book an event at Peridot, I do so with complete confidence, knowing our guests will enjoy an unforgettable experience in a welcoming and well-appointed setting. I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone looking to host a memorable event.
