The Best Wedding Vendors in Empire, MI

I am Lina LaVonne Robertson, I have been a wedding photographer for over fifteen years, and a videographer for over five. I have had the joy and privilege of documenting stories all across beautiful Northern Michigan.

Myphotography and videography style is rooted in storytelling and real moments. I focus on capturing your day as it naturally unfolds, with an emphasis on genuine emotions, meaningful interactions, and the small in-between moments that often matter most. My films are timeless, romantic, and cinematic, allowing you to relive not just how your wedding day looked, but how it felt.

Creating a distinctive floral design is an art that combines creativity, observation, and collaboration.

This blend of natural inspiration, community collaboration, and artistic versatility defines my distinctive approach to floral design, enhancing beauty while promoting sustainability and creativity.

My name is Lisa McCoy (as you can guess)! My husband Aj and I live in Alanson of Northern Michigan. We enjoy camping and road trips. We make sure to find all the hidden gems Michigan has to offer on the way. During Michigan summers we love being on, or in, the water. Kayaking is a personal favorite of ours. Although, I think my happiest place is walking alongside the ocean — I can’t describe how it makes my heart feel to be there! Aj and I enjoy trying new craft beers from all around the state. I always have a bottle of champagne in the fridge while Aj is always trying different kinds of scotch. Hence the names of our wedding packages.

I'm a Michigan Native and moved north 6 years ago - best decision I've ever made. I prefer whiskey and lakeside campfires, but I also love a night out on the town. I'm a mom, major cat lady, and I'm currently loving Seinfield reruns. I'm a teacher by degree, and have worked in the event industry for years. I'm a big true crime junkie - podcasts, books, shows - all of it, but I cannot for the life of me watch a scary movie. I believe the best moments happen in the in-between, and these in-betweens tell our story. I love stopping time in these moments, just for a minute, so you can tell your story for years to come.
