My husband and I loved working with Sheena since the beginning of our wedding journey! From engagement photos where she made us feel comfortable and supported, to our wedding where everything was crazy and Sheena held it down, she made me as a bride feel beautiful, and overall vibed with our whole wedding party. She is friendly, accommodating, and has a very upbeat and go with the flow attitude. She is also very lenient in her pricing compared to other photographers in the area. Our photos turned out beautiful and we are so grateful for Sheena and her services :) moving forward she will be our family photographer, and she took our maternity photos for our little girl in which I will attach a couple below as well, as they turned out beautiful.

Charlie is the best photographer I have ever worked with! He is so kind and sweet! He had the opportunity to work another wedding closer to where he is located but he had made the effort to come all the way to Vermont to visit and photograph my wedding! I could not be more blessed to have had him as our photographer!! My husband and I had a rough patch with our supposed DJ for our wedding, and Charlie was so kind to help me through those hard moments. He felt like family! His angels are so amazing as well!!! I cannot wait to photograph with him again!! His prices were extremely reasonable, and his work is gorgeous. Our photos also came back so quickly!!!

I am a luxury destination photographer based in MICHIGAN, COLORADO & FLORIDA! I am ALL over Michigan and all over the nation! I have a home in Lansing, Holland & Traverse City. I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Awarded Best of Zola
From first contact to wedding day, I am so happy to have chosen Elle and Co. and specifically Dani.  I couldn't be happier with communication, energy, and direction while taking photos.  Our Colorado elopement was beautiful and Dani helped with every step including finding a wonderful spot.  She kept us updated on weather and timeline so we had nothing to worry about and even hyped us up beforehand.  During my boudoir shoot she made extra effort to make me comfortable since I've never done anything like that before.  The pictures were so good and made the perfect wedding day gift for my new hubby.  Highly recommend Elle and Co. to anyone who has photography needs but especially if you think you might want to elope to a gorgeous spot and do a private event or if you want to take some boudoir type photos for a special gift.  She goes above and beyond with everything she does and you can't do better.  Thanks Dani!!

Tiffany was amazing! I love that we got to do a “test run” for our engagement pictures to really get to know each other and see how we’d work together. On the day of the wedding, even though things were not all going to plan, she was steady and calm the whole time. Everything turned out amazing. She really listens and is one of the nicest humans! She caught some of the most amazing moments from family and friends. She was organized, reliable and captured all the best moments. She’s everything you need in a photographer Highly recommend!!

Hi, I’m Jovan Kiah — a wedding and portrait photographer based just outside Indianapolis. I’m your personal hype woman, passionate about capturing vibrant, true-to-color moments that feel like you. From big milestones to everyday magic, I’m here to freeze time in a way that’s real, timeless, and joy-filled. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up motherhood, planning game nights, or enjoying something sweet—because life’s too short not to.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

As a wedding professional of 19+ years, I understand the importance of hiring a photographer you can trust. I've been photographing weddings since 2007 - I LOVE ALL things wedding! Watching your Mom zipping up your dress while she fights back tears, the first look with Dad as he sees his baby girl ready to walk down the isle... capturing all the little moments while you say "I do" is what I live for! I believe your wedding day is the start of your family legacy and it's meant to be captured and enjoyed for years to come.

We have worked with Shayla Loring Photography for several weddings and always love having her at our venue. Not only are her photographs gorgeous, but she does a great job keeping things on schedule.

So who's the team behind the experience? Your Story is made up of 4 photographers, Jeremy + Melisa (owners of YS), Jason, and Emily. Together they quite simply love.capturing.the.moments.of.life. More than anything they enjoy the relationships they build with their wedding couples along the way. It's part of the reason why you see the hearts + souls of the people in their photographs. This is way more than a business to them, it's seeing inside the heart of their labor of love!

Jeremy & Melisa are TOP NOTCH. We highly, highly, highly recommend. Not only are our photos stunning (like seriously, we cannot stop looking at them) the customer service offered was incredible. They were easy to contact, quick to reply, readily accessible, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Our wedding package included engagement photos, which were equally as beautiful. Finding a wedding photographer that we 'clicked with' was the most difficult part of wedding planning for me - until I had my first phone call with Jeremy. I instantly felt comfortable, like I was talking to a friend. I'm trying to figure out what other events we could get photographed so we can see them again, lol (but seriously). HIRE THIS COMPANY! You will not be disappointed.

Since then my brand has exponentially grown. I am so excited to continue to watch Touch of Grace grow!
