Arrae Photography 

5.0

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda and her partner did an AMAZING job capturing our August 2024 wedding. My husband and I were blown away when we saw our gallery. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Arrae Photography to any couple.

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Hi I am Kate! I have a bachelor of fine arts in photography, and have been photographing weddings and elopements for around 5 years. There is nothing I love more that LOVE and all of the emotions that surround a wedding day. I am an LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC inclusive photographer, celebrating diversity is so important to me. I shoot both digital and film, and have a documentary fine art shooting style with a modern twist.

I hired Kate for a personal branding shoot in 2018 and was so impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, and final product that I’ve gone on to hire her over and over again throughout the years! Whether it has been for personal portraits, family photoshoots, or weddings, Kate delivers beautiful and natural-looking images that will stand the test of time. She’s also so pleasant to be around, offers wonderful posing suggestions, and makes the entire photoshoot a truly enjoyable process. I can’t recommend her more highly!

Our Wedding hair and makeup Glam Squad is a carefully cultivated crew of the best stylists in Michigan. We all have several years of experience in the wedding industry and are devoted to bringing you confidence on your wedding day with your perfect style of hair and makeup.

Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!! I could not thank her enough for everything she helped with the morning of our wedding

Hi, I'm Mandy! I'm happiest at home with a cup of coffee (heavy on the cream & sugar), watching some HGTV (Fixer Upper anyone?!) & flipping through Instagram, with my beagle, Jack, snuggled on my feet. I love exploring new places with my sweetheart, Shawn, trying new foods, craft beer, coffee dates, Michigan autumns, and, of course, PHOTOGRAPHY! Thank you so much for stopping by my page. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you all, and I appreciate each and every one of you!

The Best Day Details LLC

  • Planner
  • Offers 1 service
  • Starts at $2,200

We are the wedding coordination company for the couple who is planning their own wedding but wants to have a stress free wedding day. We include timeline creation and 3 meetings to make sure we understand your wedding day completely and can manage it perfectly.

We cannot thank Elysia and the whole team at The Best Day Details enough for being the absolute MVP of our wedding! From the very beginning, she was attentive and organized, guiding us through every step of the planning process. Before the Week: Elysia was incredibly helpful during the planning stage, which I hadn’t necessarily expected since it was primarily coordinating services rather than full planning. Thank goodness for that! She offered invaluable advice and suggestions that made logistics so much easier. She coordinated with vendors, handled logistics, and took care of so many other details. Before the Ceremony: On the day of the wedding, Elysia was calm and composed. She managed the timeline expertly (which is saying a lot since I must have been a bit frantic with everything I crammed in), ensured everything was in place, and resolved some last-minute issues. During the Ceremony: She made sure everything went off without a hitch! The energy during the ceremony was so much fun because she took care of anything that could have made it challenging. During the Reception: Now THIS is where Elysia was the real MVP. There were some significant timing, logistics, and vendor obstacles, and Elysia handled ALL of them. Her attention to detail made our day, and everyone else's, just incredible. She kept everything running smoothly, managed the timeline, and addressed any concerns we had without us even noticing. Elysia made our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We couldn't have done it without her expertise and dedication. If you're looking for someone who will truly go above and beyond, look no further!

Wildcrest Studio 

5.0

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

Wildcrest Studio, established by Jessie Harris, is a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I aim to capture the magic of your wedding day and you as a unique couple through peerless, stunning photographs!

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 :)

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

I’m Tylee- a Michigan wedding photographer with a passion for marriage. As your photographer, I'll capture images that are timeless, romantic, and honestly illustrate your love for one another so that you will always remember exactly why you fell in love. Whether you're eloping just the two of you, or getting married in your favorite place with all your favorite people, I will capture the photos that will help you to cherish your marriage for a lifetime.

Tylee is one of the sweetest, most genuine people you will ever meet. It is very evident that she has a go-getter mentality and wants nothing but the best for her clients. For me, it was all the small things she does - - buying your favorite drink, playing fun music during the photoshoot, surprising you with a cute gift, always reaching out if I needed help, etc. - - that show how much she cares. Tylee also has loads of incentive and helpful advice for her clients. My husband and I actually used it to help write our wedding vows from scratch. I had the privilege of Tylee shooting both our engagement and wedding day photos. My husband and I were so happy with how everything turned out. It’s amazing how well she captures our true, authentic love in such a natural way. Tylee made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Even though the wedding day can be hectic, Tylee was so calming and intentional about making the entire day special. Tylee’s unmatched passion and uniqueness truly set her a part from others!

Hello! What I love about working at weddings is the unique experiences you have with each event. I enjoy tailoring songs and music to the couple's request and creating beautiful background music for their events. I value professionalism, adaptability, and an energetic spirit.

Me and my now Wife found William through Zola. He was very professional and very flexible as our wedding was on a private beach home and completely put together by Her and I and a couple family members. Needless to say, William was the most stress free part of our wedding planning, despite having to travel 3 hours and additionally having to learn a custom wedding song for us. I would fully recommend him to anyone needing a reliable, legit, and reasonably priced Musician!

I'm a love storyteller from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I primarily photograph weddings and engagements in and around the Midwest as well as destination weddings. I aim to tell love stories as honestly, candidly and uniquely as possible and I hope those attributes come across in my imagery. I firmly believe Love is Love and that everyone deserves beautiful images. I promise I will go above and beyond for you and be genuinely invested in your photographs far beyond just taking pictures. I've told hundreds of love stories and I hope to tell yours one day.

Awarded Best of Zola
It is really hard for me to put into words just how amazing Katie and her husband Matt are. We found them through our friends who used them for their wedding. We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, and our friends had attended one the year before in Jamaica which Katie and Matt photographed. Because of that wedding, they chose them to be their photographer for their wedding in Michigan. After we saw the photos from the destination wedding and our friend's engagement photos we knew they would be perfect for us. After we saw our friend's wedding photos we knew made the right choice. Katie and Matt from the beginning were super helpful and were incredibly integral on our wedding weekend and day. When they arrived in Mexico, they met up with us and started to work immediately. They came to our rehearsal helping us decide where to put our camera for filming the ceremony and other helpful advice for the day of. They helped find the PERFECT first look location. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Matt were energetic and came ready to help put us to ease. Katie and Matt just have a way of making you feel at ease and then make you look like models. They did a great combination of classic portraits but a lot of candid photos mixed in (which were my favorites). They stayed through the our whole reception and the photos we got look out of a bridal magazine. We had a secondary shoot the day after as a Trash the Dress photo shoot, and the sunset photos we got look like post cards. The only down side of using Katie and Matt is that they gave us too many photos we want to print and get framed! Book them for your destination wedding (or Michigan wedding) and you will absolutely be making the best decision!

This West Side landmark, with its 150-foot iconic smokestack, has been transformed into an event destination like no other in Grand Rapids. Towering historical windows, original exposed brick and structural steel, and soaring open-architecture ceilings recall the bygone days of America’s Gilded Age. With two distinct, expansive, and column-free reception spaces, cocktail lounge, outdoor amphitheater and courtyard, and abundant FREE on-site parking, New Vintage Place is the ideal venue for any event requiring a unique character that will leave an unforgettable impression.

I thought this place was beautiful and I was really excited to get married here. I love that they have a bridal and groom suite. It made it easier to make sure everyone was there. However, it made the day really stressful on how strict they are with getting access to the venue. It really cuts the day in half because most hair and make up people won’t start at one location and move to another like the venue for example. We couldn’t get access to the venue until noon unless we paid extra which we already were paying a lot for the venue and all the extras if we wanted. That made the day the most stressful, it was hard to enjoy the getting ready process. Otherwise overall I had so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was.

My name is Sheldon, owner and lead photographer os Sheldon Nicole Photography. I began photography in 8th grade and am so grateful for how the Lord has grown my hobby into a business that allows me to serve couples on the best day of their life. I am married, have a lab/husky mix puppy named Louie, and love to stroll through Grand Rapids with my husband and dog.

Sheldon was amazing from the first time we met her. She did our engagement photos and I knew right then that we wanted her for the wedding. Unfortunately, she was already booked for our day but she went through the trouble of finding someone to shoot for her while she prepped all the details and edits all the photos. She even visited us after her first wedding to say hello and take some extras! She is amazing and got us our preview literally the next day and we are so in love with them. We can't wait to see the rest!

  • Photojournalistic style

I am an intimate wedding photographer based out of my home state, the Mitten. To sum it up, I'm laid back, chill, and ready to hang out. I call myself an intimate wedding photographer because I work best with couples who want a smaller, more close-knit feel to their wedding day and because I offer my clients a sense of familiarity, and comfortability and help them feel relaxed and ready for the day ahead. By the end-we're great friends! My hope with every session I have is that you'll find not only the pictures beautiful but the shared experience one to remember as well.

Kaitlin did a fantastic job capturing my wedding day. She got along so well with everyone in the wedding party which made shooting a blast. Her work is outstanding, she is so easy to work with, and I would recommend her to everyone.

Big City Vibes

  • Florist

  • Serves Grand Rapids, MI

With a background in installation art our event floral offering is a little different. Our designs are architectural and modern, playful designs creating a custom look for each event. Dreaming big with a new installation idea? Lets make it happen. xx

Big City Vibes made all of my wedding dreams into reality. During my first consult with Big City Vibes, I didn't quite have a full vision of what I was looking for. I gave them bits and pieces of things that stood out to me stylistically and they turned those small visions into an unbelievable day of florals. Big City Vibes (aka owner Brennan) is patient, a great listener, a creative genius, and such a hard worker. Once you work with Big City Vibes once.... you'll want them in charge of every future party, wedding, and gathering you throw.

Stellaluna Events was born out of a passion for creating fulfilling experiences, and we strive to curate celebrations that bring about feelings of comfort and belonging. We don't believe weddings are about choosing certain decor just because it's trendy or overspending to impress your guests. Your wedding or event should be about gathering a group of your favorite people together to celebrate. It's about making a meaningful memory to treasure for the rest of your life. We love couples who throw out tradition. Let us encourage you to do it differently.

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for Hannah!! When we found ourselves in a bit of a last-minute scramble, she stepped in with grace and an incredible sense of calm. From the very first moment, Hannah took our stress away and turned our vision into a beautiful reality, far beyond what we could have ever imagined. She not only embraced our ideas but enhanced them with her own creativity and attention to detail, making our wedding day truly magical. Every detail felt perfectly aligned with our vision, showing how deeply she understood and cared about what we wanted. It was like having a friend who just got us, making sure everything was exactly as we hoped. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your day extraordinary, look no further. We couldn’t have done it without Hannah and we will be forever grateful for her kindness and commitment. Thank you so much for turning our dreams into reality and for making our wedding day unforgettable. We can’t recommend you highly enough!

Alfield Reeves Photography

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,700

I am a Liberian-American portrait & editorial photographer based in West Michigan. I specialize in creating work that encourages self-reflection and expression, promotes equitable action and showcases the black and brown identity and culture. My images are warm, quiet and bold. They bridge traditional divides between photojournalism, portraiture and fashion. My work is featured in magazines and online platforms like Vogue Greece, Grand Rapids Magazine, Grand Rapids Business Journal, ProPublica, and The Trace to name a few. My work has been part of numerous exhibitions locally and statewide.

My husband and I got married in 2019. We booked Alfield for our engagement photos and our wedding photos. The price is so worth the quality and experience you get when working with Alfield. We literally got our photos back the same week as our wedding. All of them were edited, even a physical photo box and custom-created album. Very professional, timely, and easy to work with. No hassle and I never had to worry about any of the logistics related to photography. Alfield seemed to have everything down to a science and every shot was perfect. He could walk around the city and with ease find beautiful shots. He is an artist and an incredible one at that. He had a small team on the day of the wedding, in order to capture both sides of the pre-wedding moments. Whenever I have a need for a photographer, I immediately reach out to Alfield, and can't see that changing unless he becomes unavailable. I have since done professional headshots with him, which came out perfect and just how I envisioned. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend hiring Alfield for any wedding photography or ANY photo needs for that matter. I couldn't be happier with all the work he has done for us. We are lifelong customers.

It has walls with oak paneling, parquet floors, a piano, a kitchen, and a fireplace, and it can seat up to 48 guests. In addition, couples may avail of these and the venue’s other luxurious event spaces for their wedding ceremonies.

We had the most wonderful experience at St. Cecilia's on our wedding day! From booking to the day of the wedding, Nadine was so helpful! Communication was wonderful leading up to the day. We even got a layout of our table setup to send to other vendors. They were also so accommodating when we decided to move the buffet to the lower level of the building. Choosing this venue was truly a worthwhile investment! We were originally concerned about the option of only one bar vendor. But we now know why they prioritize them! Martha's catering went above and beyond for us and the bartenders were wonderful. They clearly know the venue and have a lot of experience. So do not let the catering options deter you, clearly St. Cecilia's has them picked for a reason and you can trust your vendors! Have I mentioned that the building is gorgeous!?! The ballroom is stunning and the rooms are all so magical. It is such a beautiful wedding venue. Our guests had a wonderful time!

Vormittag Farm & Floral

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Florist
  • Starts at $2,500

I LOVE European design and Romanticism! The whimsical, natural, layers of florals are my specialty but I admire all styles of design and will create a curated palette of florals for your wedding/event. Enhancing the venue with complimenting florals is one of my favorite parts, along with the bridal bouquet of course! Brick/stone/antique wood, rivers, woodlands, flower fields, victorian vibes, vintage influence, manicured gardens, greenhouses, estates & manors, old/new again churches - yes, please! That is my cup of tea! The visual execution is imperative but I also like to implement the other senses with aromatic florals.

Rachel was amazing to work with. She helped make our vision come true within our budget. She was available and willing to answer questions or help throughout the entire planning process. We trusted her vision and she exceeded our expectations!
