Soul Stories Photography

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
Grand Rapids, MI
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,500

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
“As I finally begin to write this review, my mind does not know where to start. Sena and Shelly have made it hard to find such meaningful and beautiful words to describe just how wonderful they are. Having phenomenal, near & dear photos of my wedding day was extremely important to me and as I spent hours meticulously researching and thumbing through every vendor– photographers ranked at the top of that list. As a bride, Sena was my main point of contact throughout the whole process and I could not thank her enough for being my hype man and being SO understanding. Furthermore, I truly feel that the attitude of your vendors can change everything when planning your own wedding, and Sena was such a delight to chat with. From over 300 days out to the big day, she came with such a calm yet electric energy that was contagious! She would've been my bridesmaid if she wasn't holding the camera and I mean that from the bottom of my heart! Again, knowing that your vendors want to be there for you and not make a quick buck is so relieving. They understood my budget and worked hard to make it happen without underselling themselves, or giving me less than what I wanted. Seeing them both be so excited to capture such a day meant the world to me. seeing the sneak peak after, not only can I obviously see the love poured out between my husband and I, but I can see their love poured out unto their craft. Each photo has so much love and energy behind it. To brag some more about how phenomenal these people are, Sena and Shelly even went out of their way to pick up my bridal flowers and make the bouquet for me! They adjusted my veil at my ceremony, helped me put my heels on, offered to get me my food at the reception, even asked the bartenders for dish soap when my dress got pollen on it, and proceeded to scrub it off my dress! I'm sure I'm missing some things, too! Okay, okay, if you’ve read this far, I think you're thinking what I’m thinking and that’s: HIRE THEM! Honestly, (although I don’t think I have to) I beg of you, hire them. These are great and amazing people and I cannot wait to see where else their photography takes them. Sena and Shelly create photographs for generations to come, timeless, elegant, warm and thoughtful. I could not have asked for better. “Most beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬ ‭CPDV‬‬”

“I’m forever grateful for what they gave us. These pictures are not just images, they are feelings. I look at them and I can still feel the breeze, the laughter, the joy. They got my husband smiling in a way I’ve only seen a few times. My mom said the photos made her relive the whole day and she cried happy tears. The video is something else, it feels cinematic but still real. They even included shots of my cousin making everyone laugh during speeches. Nothing felt posed, just natural beauty. They encouraged me when I was nervous and helped fix little details like my veil. That extra care made all the difference. I honestly can’t stop scrolling through them at night. These memories will live forever because of them.”

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 :)”

“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.

Cheat Day Sweets was created as the passion project of its founder, who embodies the conflicted spirit of both fitness enthusiast AND baker. Out of this push/pull mindset, a sweets/treats brand was envisioned that allowed for a "once-in-a-while" cheat day, because we all need a well-deserved reward every now and then. Made fresh to order in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Cheat Day Sweets is a locally owned and operated small business that strives for the perfect sweet creation, each and every bake. If we aren't confident in our own flavors, we don't make it. Only the best, most luxurious, delicious treats are worthy of OUR Cheat Day.

“Working with Cheat Day Sweets was so much fun and a smash hit at the wedding! We had decided early on that we don't understand a traditional wedding cake, and making people watch us cut a cake was just one more thing. So, after discovering Cheat Day Sweet's Instagram, I knew they was the one to book for our dessert bar! I worked with Melissa to design the aesthetic and the menu, but to be completely honest, I was at a point where I was SO over planning and so overwhelmed I couldn't make any decisions (my now husband came home one day and asked if I wanted to go to the gym or do dinner first and I cried because I literally couldn't make another decision). So, I pretty much told her I trust her creative direction and she KILLED IT! Thank you so much for such a beautiful set up and the delicious treats! Photos by the wonderful, Gauper Photo.”

In other words.. I wanted a piece of art! And this cake did more than deliver! Also, it’s typical sometimes to sacrifice flavor over presentation. But when I tell you to go right ahead and set that high expectation for flavor, you will STILL be shocked by how delicious it is! And your guests will literally be asking you constantly where you got it from (especially if you get the chocolate cake!)

The bridal suite gave us plenty of room for our hair and makeup teams, and they even let us add mimosas while we were getting ready. The venue itself is stunning with its clean design, natural light, and thoughtful layout that flowed perfectly for our guests. The bar setup was a highlight too—eight beers on tap and their partnership with PUNCH made for an awesome experience. We loved every moment at Leona Road and would recommend them without hesitation.”

Kate English Photography

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

When asked when I first knew I wanted to be a photographer, it's hard to pinpoint a specific time, as I feel I have always had an eye for photography. From ripping up magazines, photoshoots with friends, the rise of Tumblr & Instagram, to taking a 35mm black & white film photography class in high school, going on to get my BFA in photography, and establishing my business - photography is truly in everything I do. I have been photographing weddings for over 7 years now. My work is a combination of unfiltered documentary, funky fashion editorial, and timeless fine art with a modern twist.

“Kate is the best photographer! Not only is she incredibly talented, she is so fun to work with! She always made us feel so comfortable and made the experience fun. She is amazing! We have worked with Kate from engagement to baby! We will forever treasure her work.”

“Working with Molly as our day of coordinator was the best decision we made with wedding planning. She was incredibly organized and kept everything on track from the beginning stages to the day of the wedding. We felt confident that if anything came up, she and her team would handle it seamlessly. She was open to us DIYing most of our decor, and then she and her team set it up according to instructions. This really let us and our families feel more relaxed on the day of the wedding! Several of our guests commented on how helpful her team was. We have no regrets about working with Molly/Best Day Details.”

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $3,500

I don’t just film weddings, I craft films that feel like memories, not montages. Every couple has a different story, energy, and rhythm. My approach is to slow down, observe, and capture the moments that actually matter: the quiet nerves, the proud glances, the laughter that happens when no one thinks they’re being watched. Your wedding film isn’t about trends or flashy transitions — it’s about how it felt to be there.

“Paul with Paul Matthew Media is a joy to work with. On top of that, the video my husband and I got back from our wedding absolutely blew our minds. To quote my hubs "I knew it would be good. I did NOT know it would be THAT good!" Paul makes you feel comfortable and at ease, all while capturing every important moment. I will yell it from the rooftop: HIRE PAUL for your wedding video! He is worth every penny. Every. Single. One. You may think I'm exaggerating. I'm not. Paul is the best in his field, don't hesitate to hire him.”

“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!”
