Hi, I'm Andrea. I'm a full-time photographer based in the wild north of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I specialize in nature elopements and small, intimate weddings in the UP and throughout the state of Michigan. My biggest passion is to be able to document your love story in creative, hauntingly beautiful, timeless images for you to keep forever. And give you an experience that allows you to relax, be yourself, and savor all the moments without pressure.

Working with you was a dream! You are such a lovely, fun, and down to earth individual to be around. Your organization, timeliness/responsiveness, and openness with communication made you incredibly easy/stressfree to work with. There was no point in time during the year where I felt anxious or uncomfortable about getting more information or asking questions. Your excitement to be with us and document us was incredible, and one of a kind! I am thankful for all the resources/guides on your website and your specific tips that helped us plan our elopement with guests. I didn't even know where to start with a timeline, but once you heard what we wanted it was so easy to customize it for us. Despite the fun and chaos, you are go-with-the-flow and have strength behind the scenes because somehow you discreetly and quietly captured so many details and beautiful moments that we wouldn't have otherwise even experienced. I also could not believe the speed at which you surprised us with the sneak peaks and the full gallery. We were blown away again and again with how well you have truly nurtured your craft, and seeing the photos definitely transports us back to that marvelous day! Such is the magic of your work. For anyone looking to have an elopement or microwedding, your skill and talents are worth the investment and I would not hesitate to recommend you. Thanks again Andrea!!

Hi I'm Katey! Your storyteller behind the lens, capturing the pure magic of love against the breathtaking backdrop of the Upper Peninsula and the serene shores of Lake Superior. I'm not just a photographer, I'm a hopeless romantic with a passion for freezing those genuine moments that not only make your heart skip a beat, but will last a lifetime. Based in the enchanting Upper Peninsula, I've fallen head over heels for the natural beauty that surrounds us. From lush forests to the pristine shores of Lake Superior, every location becomes a canvas for love stories to unfold.

OK... Right out of the gate, my first to do was to book my photographer. Katey was absolutely my number one go to, and I knew I had to try to get her for my wedding. From the first contact, to the end of the night and even to today she has been beyond superior. She worked so dang hard to keep us relaxed and captured everything I envisioned. She's calm, cool and collective. I can't say enough about her pictures, the way she captures the details that you wouldn't necessarily notice on your big day is incredible. I can't say enough about her and can't wait to book her for another shoot one day.

Founded in 2020, I specialize in light and airy, timeless digital images. My niche is specifically engagements and weddings, and I love creating a photography experience that lasts a lifetime! We are a husband and wife photography team dedicated to capturing the moments important to you! In 2024 we also launched highlight films.

I started my photography career back in 2010 and have captured hundreds of stories over the years. I found my true passion in intimate weddings and elopements in 2016 when I rode in a chairlift to the top of a mountain to document a small ceremony in the company of 50 of their closest family and friends, their dogs, and an aged bottle of scotch that acted as a unity candle. From that moment I decided to specialize in capturing intimate weddings and elopements in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!

Hi, my name is Vivian. I grew up in the beautiful state of Oregon and have a huge black great dane. He makes my heart sing! Art has always been my entire life. Aside from wedding photography, I also take pictures for the news! Some of my other hobbies include hiking, camping and traveling. I’ve spent a lot of time backpacking all over the world and made a ton of amazing memories doing it.

Vivian Claire did such an amazing job on our wedding. She was VERY punctual. She attended our rehearsal to get an idea of our everything would photograph and then was at our wedding day THE ENTIRE DAY, which was amazing because she captured so many little details for us. She was like a ninja and sometimes she was at places we didn’t even know to get awesome shots. We got some of those classic/traditional wedding pictures, but Vivian also captured some non-rational pictures which we loved! She has so many ideas that were amazing! She even brought a speaker to play some music to get some even better shots! Vivian is quiet,but an amazing photographer, who does amazing work!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get.

Big fan of dive bars, staring at the stars, forever searching for the best french fries, a blissfully cold Diet Coke, and a true midwestern why fly it's only 15 hours.

She never overcomplicated things like so many others do—everything with her felt smooth and effortless. Choosing her as our photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Chelcie consistently went above and beyond. She stayed true to her creative vision while embracing everything we hoped for. She listened, guided, reassured, and made us feel seen and supported through it all. On the wedding day, Chelcie (along with Sarah and Jeremy!) was a total rockstar. She came fully prepared, found the most beautiful locations, followed every request, and wasn’t afraid to try new things to get the perfect shot. She brought such a sense of calm and control—exactly what every bride needs. The 24 preview photos alone have us and our families raving. Chelcie captured exactly what I had dreamed of my whole life—even when I wasn’t sure how to put it into words. She just got it. We already can’t wait to see the full gallery (and to print hundreds of them!). Chelcie isn’t just an incredibly talented photographer—she’s someone who made our wedding feel even more magical. We’ll be forever grateful.
