I was in completely sticker shock when looking for flowers for my wedding. I wanted something that looked nice but didn’t want to break the bank. The Forever Bloom bouquets were exactly what we were looking for and at the right price. Best of all we can keep the bouquets for a lifetime.

I had an amazing experience with Blushing Bride Glam for my wedding day hair and makeup. Communication with Maddie was excellent - she was always very responsive, friendly, and clear in our messages leading up to the big day. Since I had a destination wedding, we weren't able to do a hair/makeup trial beforehand but that didn't end up being an issue at all. Maddie was a total pro and made me and my bridesmaids feel relaxed and beautiful. She kept everything fun and calm while working her magic. The final look for all of us honestly exceeded my expectations - everything was sheer perfection down to the smallest details. Maddie is so talented and really cares about each client. I couldn't recommend Blushing Bride Glam highly enough for any bride's most special day!

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day. Being in Business for 6years with over 120 Wedding shot across the country.

King is seriously a dream to work with! From the first time we talked, we just knew they were the right choice. He’s so down-to-earth and made us feel totally at ease, which was huge because neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera. He helped us with posing when we needed it (thank you for making us look like we knew what we were doing!), but also just let us be ourselves, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. He totally captured the vibe of our day, especially the reception. The energy, the laughter, the dancing—everything was perfectly documented. We couldn’t have asked for better photos that really tell the story of our celebration. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out!

Do yourself a favor and hire her! We hired Kristen about 6 months prior to our summer wedding. She immediately started helping us with finding remaining vendors, arranging invitation details and our timeline. She kept our payments on schedule and helped me get all the planning tasks done in a reasonable timeline. On the day, she showed up with an assistant and never sat down. They handled literally everything and the day went so smooth. My parents and grandparents were checked in on, my dress change was helped with, she brought me food and water when I didn't ask. She's incredible. Thanks Kristen for being awesome and making our day great.

I had the best experience with The Venlist. I was fortunate to work with two great planners, first Kyra, and then Brittany. Kyra really understood what I was going for and was excellent at helping me plan, so I was bummed when she left. However, Brittany is absolutely amazing. She’s the absolute best at what she does. She goes above and beyond for you and she will definitely deal with any vendor issues you may have. Brittany is the main reason why my wedding vision was properly executed and brought to life. The Notion platform was perfect in keeping track of all things wedding, and I loved the style of it. Brittany is such a great person and easy to connect with. I will definitely keep in touch with her even after my wedding.

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
People often debate what's most important for a wedding: is it the venue, the food, the flowers... ?  It's the memories, and putting them in the hands of artists who can show you the heart and soul and feel of every moment - moments you can't plan for, you can never adequately take in, and many you would simply miss. Jarrod and Taylor are certainly technically gifted photographers and videographers, but more importantly they are artists whose true love is capturing yours.  The name says it all: The Narrative. My bride Ali and I will be forever grateful that we found and convinced them to tell our story.  I could imagine a thousands different weddings, but none without them by our side. Thank you, Jarrod and Taylor, you beautiful humans, for your truly awesome and unbelievable care, vision, and talents.  You've given us more than we could have ever imagined or even hoped for, through your perfect lens.

A documentary, candid, creative wedding photography team offering film & digital photo packages ranging from 8-12 hours. Our editing style is natural with a touch of mood. We love capturing images that make you feel something!

It feels like every choice of wedding vendor is an important one but the argument that photography is the most important is valid - not only do you spend your the majority of your wedding day alongside your photographers, but you also rely on their work to re-live your big day for the rest of your life. We could not have chosen better people or artists to work with for our wedding than Michelle and Michael Terry and we are absolutely thrilled with the choice we made!! From the moment we encountered their work online we were drawn to their style which is a wonderful mix of posed romantic elegance and docurealistic candids. The strength of their love for each other shines through in the images they capture for other couples and families so strongly. Then, after meeting with Michelle to go over pricing and packages we immediately fell in love with her midwest kindness and genuine personality. We planned our Chicago wedding from out of state where we live, and the Terrys had never photographed at our venue the Stan Mansion before - however, we trusted the good reviews and booked them to travel from MI for our big weekend. Incredible call by us! Michelle and Michael covered our welcome party as well as 10 hours of our wedding day and upon meeting them it was like more of our friends or cousins had just arrived. A remarkable team, they had the very best non-chaotic energy and posed and encouraged us without being cheesy or “fake.” Between Michael’s funny prompts and Michelle’s kind gaze behind her lens we, our families, and our wedding party felt like a million bucks. They collaborated seamlessly with our other vendors they had never worked with before and everyone asked us - where did you find them?! Their coverage of our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was ever-present yet unobstrisuve and their smiling faces inspired confidence all night. And we know this confidence was well-founded because we recieved an ENORMOUS sneak peek gallery of photos we love before we even left for our honeymoon days later! Michelle and Michael - thank you for feeling the love in the room on our favorite day in history, adding to it, and capturing it so well. We can’t wait to have you photograph our family for years to come - what an incredible joy! Book them - you will not regret it!

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and candid. Specializing in short form vignette wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a journalistic approach to capturing the day with an uptempo editing style. No posing. No staging. Just the real moments of your wedding day.

Chad filmed our 7/21/24 wedding. He was very responsive to our inquiries and very easy to work with. Super friendly, down to earth, kind person. We ordered a trailer, highlights film, and a longer version with dances, entrances, speeches, etc. We are blown away with the videos we received. We would definitely recommend Chad as a wedding videographer. We don’t have a single negative thing to say.

Treehouse Studios Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day! From the start, their communication style was fun, professional, and creative. The quality of their work was truly stunning - the photos they captured were detailed, professional, and exceeded our expectations. One example of how they contributed to our special day was that the photographer made sure to get couple shot with our direct family members who we had forgotten to include. Additionally, the sneak peeks we received were gorgeous and came promptly. We were greatly impressed by the value of their services, as the pricing was very reasonable for the amazing photos they delivered. I would highly recommend Treehouse Studios Photography to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photography team.

My name is Brettina and I am a wedding and family photographer. I live in Michigan but travel all over the world! My goal is to make you feel comfortable and beautiful, because you are. As a part of the LGBTQ+ community, I strive for inclusivity in my personal life as well as my photography. I am a huge advocate for capturing the world you see before you and not a fake perception of that world. I am welcoming of all and will photograph all regardless of race, religion, gender expression and identity, sexual orientation, age, size, ability, ethnicity, or culture. Our world is diverse and my portfolio should be too.

Brettina is absolutely amazing!! From the moment we booked with her, she was kind, professional and helpful. She took our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. Brettina is so creative and did a wonderful job with posing us and capturing such stunning moments. Her style is very relaxed, creative and focused on the special moments more than the posed ones. Working with her felt like working with a friend and we would absolutely book her again for all our future photography needs. Thank you Brettina!
