Amanda and Richard shot our engagement photos and our wedding photos x2! The pandemic was so hard but they made rescheduling and then changing our minds and having two weddings so easy! They are awesome to work with and make your nerves go away while being photographed. They are also down for anything, including trudging through 3 feet deep snow in December to get winter wonderland photos. The product you have to cherish at the end are like none other. I love Amanda’s moody and real style that perfectly captures the moment. Would highly highly recommend.

He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted.

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.

Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

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. You'll find me often traveling, spending time in nature, collecting rocks and shopping for vintage t-shirts.

I've lived a lot of places (Arizona, Arkansas, and Puerto Rico to name a few!) and have so many places that I treasure and feel at home.

We booked Jessica Max for our garden wedding in May, and are OBSESSED with the photos! She is so talented at capturing the most intimate and candid moments without us even knowing that she is there. We added film photos onto our package and absolutely loved how they turned out. Jessica also captured polaroid pictures throughout the wedding that we got to look at the next day, which was so much fun. It's so hard for us to pick our favorite pictures to get framed, we love them all! Jessica is a true pro and an absolute pleasure to work with. We got a sneak peak of our wedding photos a few days after the event and received the full gallery within the expected timeframe. We absolutely loved working with Jessica Max and would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Chelcie. From day one, she brought so much heart, warmth, and care—not just to her work, but to every interaction with us. It never felt like we were working with a vendor; it felt like we had a friend by our side, and that’s something we’ll always treasure. Chelcie came highly recommended, and now we understand exactly why. From our first call about the engagement shoot, her calm confidence and genuine passion for her craft stood out. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow… I don’t even know where to start, but the stars literally aligned with Dani (and Jed) from Elle & Co Photography. I found Dani while scrolling bridal Facebook groups, which can be… a lot. Trying not to assume the worst from all the horror stories. I came across her and immediately knew she was it. I sent the message and crossed my fingers. Her photos were exactly the vibe we were going for. We chose to elope near Sleeping Bear Dunes for a reason… the color of the water, the fall tones, all of it. And Mother Nature gave us the most imperfectly perfect day. Wind, sand, rain… you name it. THANKFULLY we had Dani to capture it all. The amount of time, energy, and care she put into our day (and our reception back in Indy... we booked her for both) was beyond anything we expected. Her communication was top notch. She scouted, scouted, and then scouted again. Plans, backup plans, backup backup plans… which we absolutely needed. Most importantly she kept us on. time! We literally showed up to our ceremony spot and got hit with a “nope, not today” thanks to a government shutdown… even though we had permits and confirmations. But Dani already had her little hidden gem location ready to go, and it ended up being incredible. Like… better than what we had originally planned. And let’s talk about the conditions… late October on Lake Michigan, 25 mph winds, sand flying everywhere, and easily 10,000 steps trekking through dunes to chase the best views. Dani was everywhere at once making sure we got every shot. And Jed… running through sand like he trained for this moment. The two of them together are the dream team. Whatever it takes, they make it happen. They didn’t miss a single moment. From travel time to the ceremony, to the little in-between shots… even getting the perfect fall leaves shot with the Sleeping Bear Dunes sign (yes, it took a plenty of tries and yes, it was worth it). Champagne, lanterns, sparklers back at the domes… they captured all of it. And gave us just enough direction so we looked our best without ever feeling staged. And even after all of that, Dani went back and edited like crazy to balance out the fact that while we "looked fine"… we were most definitely freezing. The final photos are unreal. Our day was made by friends, family, and chosen family… and we’re so happy to add Dani and Jed to that circle. #PhotosToFriends for life!

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.

I couldn’t have imagined more amazing wedding photos. Our wedding was at a vineyard in Northern Michigan and Lume (Andrea) nailed it. The photos make me cry every time I see them because they are so emotive and beautiful.

From the moment we spoke with Angela, we knew we wanted her to be our photographer. She is incredibly friendly and responsive! We recently had our engagement shoot in NYC and she exceeded our expectations. Our pictures came out better than we could’ve imagined and she was such a joy to work with. Talking to her felt like talking to an old friend. We are so happy we found Angela and CANNOT wait for next year when she captures our wedding day! I’d hire her for any and all photo shoots if I could!
