From the moment you say "Yes" to the day you say, "I Do", I will be right there with you, every step of the way, collaborating with you in capturing the most beautiful and keepsake imagery.

Kelly at K's Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was extremely efficient, responsive, and took the time to listen to all of our wants and needs. As a true perfectionist, Kelly studied our venue and wedding style, researching poses and ideas to ensure our photos were absolutely perfect. Given that we had a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic, Kelly went above and beyond - she booked her own travel, researched how to get all of her camera gear on the plane, and even spent time scouting the location ahead of time to prepare. Kelly really took the time to get to know us and our families, which helped her capture the true essence of our special day. The quality of her work is unmatched, and the photos will be treasured for a lifetime. Kelly has a beautiful studio where we were able to view all of the stunning images in a comfortable setting.

I blend my experience as a sports, event, and landscape photographer to cultivate stunning wedding photographs that perfectly capture the beauty and joy of your wedding day. After over a decade as a photographer who specialized in sports, events, and landscapes, I opened my business to cover weddings after becoming frustrated with the pricing plans of photographers who charged luxury rates for plans that barely covered our ceremony and dinner. I didn't have to be that way. So I embarked on using my knowledge and experience as a photographer to allow anyone access to high quality photography of their wedding from morning to night.

Hey there! I'm Eric, an outdoor-loving, laid-back wedding photographer based in the Midwest who lives for capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make each love story unique. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me hiking trails or discovering new local breweries. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a touch of editorial flair—meaning I'll capture both those candid laughs during toasts and those naturally romantic moments during golden hour. The best photos happen when couples feel completely at ease and free to be themselves.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Eric as a photographer is like hanging out with an old friend. He put this camera-shy couple at ease immediately, made us laugh, and always had great suggestions for posing to help get the best results possible. He came prepared with ideas for shots and scenes, and his videography was so unobtrusive we almost didn’t remember it was happening! He is quick to respond to questions, has an amazing eye for color and composition, and is generally just a really positive presence on a day that can otherwise be pretty stressful. Don’t sleep on Eric — you’ll be so glad you hired him!

Welcome!! We are Madison + McKenzie, best friends turned business partners and the heart behind Lavenderie Photos! Our story began back in 2017. What started as snapping photos of friends and family quickly grew into a full blown passion. Fast forward a year, and the two decided to turn their love for photography into something even bigger. Lavenderie Photos was born, and we’ve never looked back! Since then, we’ve had the absolute joy of photographing over 65 amazing individuals and couples. Every session is a celebration, and every love story feels like the first all over again.

My Husband and I found Lavenderie through Facebook and decided to go with them for our wedding in 2023. They were very affordable and their website and portfolio fit our style. They were very open and understanding to my ideas and what I wanted for my wedding. They brought their own ideas for the photos that I loved and ended up being my favorite ones! We decided to use them again for our maternity photos and they turned out amazing as well! Definitely a jack of all trades for any photo session you’d like to do! They know great places and are very easy to talk to if there’s something you’d like to change! Can’t wait to book my family photos sometime this year! Definitely recommend if you want a relatable, innovative, affordable photographer!

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.
