“We had a group gathering at Camp Greenwood and having the entire camp to ourselves was wonderful. It gave us plenty of room to be together without sharing the facilities with any other groups, and there was something for everyone to do. The cabins are clean and well maintained, and each has its own indoor toilet, sink, and shower. The dining hall is lovely, with a clean, certified kitchen where you can prepare your own meals or have food catered in. There is also plenty of room next to the dining hall to put up a big tent for an even larger gathering. The setting is magnificent. Camp Greenwood is on the private Woodbeck Lake, which is stocked for great fishing, and we could use the canoes and kayaks. There is a huge playground for the kids, a shelter with a stage, and a big field with lots of room for kids and adults to play or just enjoy being outdoors. Lots of forests and 2 spots for camp fires make the place super memorable. What makes Camp Greenwood special is being able to have everyone together in one place. People can eat together, play together, enjoy the lake, sit around the campfire, and then stay right there in the cabins, heading for bed whenever they needed to. It is a fantastic place for a family reunion, wedding weekend, or any gathering where you want more than just a few hours together. You don't just rent a room—you get the whole camp!”

“My husband and I had been to several weddings with Ace Wedding DJs as a vendor, and several without. Let me tell ya, there is a big difference! We knew we needed Ace Wedding DJs for our wedding this past June and they did not disappoint! Our lead DJ, Avery Echols worked closely with our other vendors to make the night run so smoothly. My husband and I truly did not have to think about anything and could just enjoy the night! Avery also CRUSHED the vibes!! After letting him know our top priority was making it a party and ensuring our guests had fun, he kept the dance floor packed all reception. Our booking coordinator, Wes Echols, was also great to communicate with. He always had very quick responses, provided us with a comprehensive and thoughtful questionnaire for the ceremony and reception, and was overall very helpful. We could not recommend Ace Wedding DJs more!!”

I'm Lauren, a Michigan wedding photographer based in Grand Rapids, documenting weddings and elopements with a candid, documentary approach & an editorial eye. I believe your wedding should feel like a wedding. You deserve to be present for the people, emotions, laughter and little moments happening around you, while trusting that they're being documented beautifully. I'll guide you when you need it, step back when you don't & help create an experience that feels comfortable & natural from beginning to end. The result is a gallery full of intentional images that don't just show what your day looked like - they bring you back to how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We all know that hiring vendors for your wedding is stressful, but Lauren was stress free and my BEST choice! She communicated with me throughout the entire planning process and helped me iron out all the details surrounding the big day. As someone who didn’t use a wedding planner, this was huge for me because I had no idea what I was doing. Lauren helped me through this by providing some timeline templates, and answered any questions that came up (even if it didn’t relate directly to photography). Aside from planning, I knew I had made the right choice when we shot our engagement photos. Obviously the final product is why you hire a photographer, but Lauren provided high quality photos AND a great experience! My husband does not like his photo taken and will usually morph into a toddler who throws tantrums when asked to stand in front of a camera for too long - but not with Lauren. We had so much fun shooting with her, she really made it an awesome experience and my husband actually enjoyed himself! For our wedding day we had exactly the same experience, just on a much larger scale. We had a few last minute changes to the plan, and Lauren made sure that for every sacrifice that was made, that there was no detail or photo opportunity missed. She even spent 20 minutes in a broom closet with my mom and I to try to get my bustle buttoned before the dances. Everyone who interacted with Lauren on that day had nothing but great things to say about their experience working with her, and she was absolutely my favorite vendor on my wedding day. Our photos were sent to us before the date they were promised by and they are absolutely PERFECT. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! Lauren is phenomenal at what she does, but more than that she is an amazing person. I truly feel like I’ve gained a friend by working with her and I will never use another photographer to capture my memories. I’m so lucky to have found her, and if you get the opportunity to do so I would 1,000,000% recommend it!”

Soul Stories is our passion project in the truest sense, it was born out of a love for the moments words can’t quite hold — the quiet glances, the laughter between vows, the way love feels when it’s seen rather than said. By day, Sena (lead photographer) is a nurse and Shelton (lead photographer) works in cybersecurity — and as a couple, photo and video has always been the way we remember and cherish life. Documenting love, celebration, and the moments that matter most is something we've always done naturally. We simply decided to share that gift with others.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)”

Every photo brought us right back to those moments, and somehow she captured every emotion, every little detail, and all of the joy so perfectly. We absolutely swooned over our golden hour portraits—they are everything we dreamed of and more. At the same time, the candid photos are just as special. Grace has such a gift for capturing the genuine, in-between moments that you don't even realize are happening, and those have quickly become some of our favorite images. Every single photo is stunning. We couldn't believe how consistently beautiful the entire gallery was! Grace is an incredibly talented artist with such an amazing eye, and we feel so blessed that she captured one of the most important days of our lives. If you're looking for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable, capture your day authentically, and deliver a gallery you'll cherish forever, Grace is the one. We truly couldn't have imagined a more perfect photographer. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us memories we'll treasure for a lifetime! ️”

HEY! I'm Liv Lyszyk Maxwell (pronounced LY-zick, blame it on my Polish and Ukrainian roots) and I am a 20-something wedding and portrait photographer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Most days you can find me designing for my other business Liv Lyszyk Prints, wearing leggings (I don't do zippers), and eating too much sushi. I spend my time fighting for equity in the interest of all marginalized groups. I am always looking for my next travel adventure whether that be to a new town on lake Michigan, or half way around the world, I want to see it all.

“Liv is kind, compassionate and organized. Liv made us feel at ease in front of the camera and captured some truly gorgeous photos that we will treasure for a lifetime.”

“Applause to you if you are a DIY person who wants such a wedding. In our family, however, we run high in terms of anxiousness, and when our bride and groom were states away leading up to the wedding day, we needed a different approach. Choosing RSVP Events was exactly what we needed! Adrien Harding of RSVP Events fulfilled all our asks and then thought of things we could not think of ourselves. She curated a list of fantastic vendors to meet our wishes and constraints (aka, our budget). She brought a wealth of nuanced advice for the “tricky-ness” which, we all know, is associated with wedding events. We were so well cared for throughout our wedding planning journey, we could be fully present with each other, especially on the wedding day. You may think a wedding planner is a superfluous cost, but we think it allowed us to not only pull off a big event, but delight in it as well. We have not stopped smiling as we think back to all we were able to enjoy because we hired RSVP Events!”

Hi. I'm Jaymi! I'm a West Michigan wedding photographer specializing in creative, documentary-style wedding photography for couples who want authentic, story-driven images with a blend of candid moments and artistic composition. Michigan is home, but I'm available for travel worldwide!

“I'm absolutely in love with Jaymi and her photography service! Lengthy positive review ahead: Initially, I was drawn to her cinematic style of photography; often intentionally capturing otherwise candid moments lost to time and preserving them forever. I work in entertainment, with a degree in fine arts, so finding someone with a keen eye for color, composition, and bespoke style was important to me and my husband. Jaymi's photography style is very unique in the world of wedding photography. Like I mentioned, her style leans more like stills from movies, rather than structure portraits. Of course, we received many traditional photos (with a touch of Jaymi's style), but I absolutely adore the photos that feel more candid. Aside from taking lovely photos of us and our friends/family, Jaymi does a great job at taking photos of the wedding itself. With how much prep goes into florals, cakes, venues, and decor, having photos that capture the vibe from the day are really important. Her photos truly showcase the feeling of the day, taking advantage of the weather, air, nature, and placement of everything. Additionally, the editing she applies to the photos feels nostalgic, and creates a timeless look! Jaymi's process throughout our entire booking/prep/and big day was professional, attentive, loving, and thoughtful. I dearly appreciated that she wanted to get to know us as a couple, and incorporated that into her work. She checked in with us often before the wedding, making sure we were prepared and feeling good about everything. Most notably, Jaymi required us to fill out a very thorough document to help prep her as much as possible; from minor details about us as a couple to specific information about relationships/photo groupings. Additionally, Jaymi went above and beyond providing sneak peaks and the final photos. I was stunned with the volume of breathtaking photos we received, and the swiftness in sharing sneak peak photos post wedding! One of my favorite memories was driving home the day after our wedding, and going through the sneak peaks admits a 10 hour drive. All these things were something I really appreciated, wedding photos are very intimate and it's assuring to work with someone who cares as much about the photos as we do. Lastly, I want to compliment Jaymi as a person! She is incredibly kind, and really brings the 'joy' in Jaymi Joy. She was cheerful throughout the entire day, keeping things on track and making sure everyone was feeling great. Jaymi is flexible, understanding, patient, and above all else, caring. I truly cannot compliment Jaymi enough, and know she will treat every wedding with the same devotion she treated ours.”
