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.

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.

Mandy is the most incredible photographer. She helped us coordinate our schedule, pick locations, and provided helpful ideas to make even more memorable moments. She really understood the vision we had and helped create the elegant and timeless wedding that we wanted documented in our photos. I loved working with her so much we have hired her 10 additional times to document our lives since marriage (and will continue to hire her in years to come). She has always been so professional and kind - basically has become an extension of our family documenting every important moment.

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!

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!

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 :)

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.

Every time we watch our videos, we end up in happy tears. The way she captured our entire day and highlighted all of our favorite parts and put it all together in a video made us speechless. We also purchased the raw footage and she organized it on a flashdrive. We are so thankful to have this footage to look back on! Her style of videography and editing is incredible and beautiful.

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!

I'm Sydney, a Michigan wedding photographer based in Grand Rapids and the owner of Sydney Marie Photography. I've been photographing weddings since 2012 and have captured over 300 celebrations across the state—including Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Holland, and everywhere in between. I started in photography in 2008 and now travel all over Michigan (and beyond) to document weddings with a timeless, true-to-life style. My approach is hands-on from start to finish, ensuring every couple feels supported and every moment is captured beautifully and professionally.

When I was looking for a wedding photographer, Sydney stood out against the rest of them. She is so quick to email you back, is friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of weddings. When it came to our engagement session she gave us ideas for locations and just made the whole experience so fun and easy. My husband hates his photos being taken and he enjoyed our engagement session and loved talking to Sydney's husband who was with her. When it came to our wedding day, Sydney has this awesome questionnaire that answers everything! There were questions on there I never even thought about!! She showed up early and found places for portraits and checked in on me. She's just the sweetest and made our day so special, even through the stressful parts. She was a blast at our reception dancing with everyone on the dance floor while taking photos, like I said she made the day even better. We were sitting in our hotel room the night of our wedding and I got a Facebook notification from Sydney Marie Photography, Sydney had posted 10 photos from our wedding, I couldn't believe it and it made me so happy. I can't thank Sydney enough for everything, if you're looking for a photographer do not hesitate and hire her.

Hey!! I'm Alexis I'm here to capture all the meaningful moments🪩 I capture it all - between the mix of posed, and candids I capture your day so you can relive it any time you want to! I have been a photographer for 5 years now and my favorite moment of a wedding is when you hit the dance floor and are surrounded by all your favorite people! I am a lover of love, disco balls, and Champagne towers! When im not capturing couples love I am spending time with my dog Brimley or finding new places. I cant wait to be your new hype girl and third wheel!

Alexis was great from the start! She traveled for us for our engagement pictures in Ludington and to Bay City for the wedding. She had virtual meetings with us a few times to get the feel for our style and what we wanted. She even helped me decide on our engagement picture outfits! She always had suggestions and was easy to get ahold of too. She was so sweet too. Day of our wedding she had ideas of how to pose us but also took many candid shots too. Our guests loved her and she stayed a little later to capture something we requested during dancing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, she also gives sneak peaks right away, which we loved!!! Can’t wait to see the pictures fully done!
