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 love carefree messy in between moments, photographing my daily life on polaroids and film. 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.

Your wedding day is a living, breathing story built on years of love, friendship, family, and the life you’ve created together. I’m Karly, and I document full wedding days from start to finish so every meaningful moment is preserved — the quiet anticipation in the morning, the deep exhales before you walk down the aisle, the unfiltered joy on the dance floor. I’ll gently guide you when it serves the moment and step back when it doesn’t, creating space for everything to unfold naturally. Your images are true-to-life, refined, and timeless — photographs that feel like you now and still feel like you decades from now.

Awarded Best of Zola
Treehouse Studios Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day! From the start, their communication style was fun, professional, and creative. The quality of their work was truly stunning - the photos they captured were detailed, professional, and exceeded our expectations. One example of how they contributed to our special day was that the photographer made sure to get couple shot with our direct family members who we had forgotten to include. Additionally, the sneak peeks we received were gorgeous and came promptly. We were greatly impressed by the value of their services, as the pricing was very reasonable for the amazing photos they delivered. I would highly recommend Treehouse Studios Photography to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photography team.

My journey officially began with a box of old photographs from the 60s. I sat at my grandma’s kitchen table for hours listening to stories and connecting with my family in a way that wouldn’t have been possible without those old photographs. I realized that photographs are our legacy. In 10, 20, 50, or 80 years when we want to look back on the lives we lived, and the people we loved we will always turn to photographs. My ultimate goal as your photographer is to ensure that your family will have incredible photos to love an enjoy for generations to come.

Meagen Kopacki Photography was a great choice for our engagement and wedding day photography. She’s very communicative, punctual, and incredibly positive. Meagen was a true pleasure to work with as always, sporting her super cool and fun personality. This helped create a beautiful atmosphere for our photos, which are truly special and unique. Her portfolio showcases her attention to detail with a caring approach. We will forever cherish the memories she was able to preserve for us through her gift of photography. Always a pleasure working with Meagen Kopacki Photography!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

My name is Ali Cushing; a NY-based photographer working in a blended documentary and editorial approach, emphasized with a cinematic method, and a personalized, true to life editing style. I am honored to be entrusted with depicting genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizing precious memories. I see beauty in the subtle details as much as the wide, epic scene, while I see glory in the mundane in-between moments as much as the heart thudding highs. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.

We even mentioned to her at one point months later that we were missing a photo that would be important and she ended up finding it for us later - I’m sure that wasn’t easy after looking over photos of pictures and finding one specific one!

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.

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.

HEY! I'm Liv Lyszyk Maxwell (pronounced LY-zick, blame it on my Polish and Ukrainian roots) and I am a 20-something wedding and portrait photographer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Most days you can find me designing for my other business Liv Lyszyk Prints, wearing leggings (I don't do zippers), and eating too much sushi. I spend my time fighting for equity in the interest of all marginalized groups. I am always looking for my next travel adventure whether that be to a new town on lake Michigan, or half way around the world, I want to see it all.

Choosing Liv as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions my wife and I made for our wedding day. Liv was an incredible partner in planning out what we wanted for our big day, and captured it in a way that was more stunning than I could ever imagine. Liv is so kind, inclusive, and thoughtful with their work, and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. 6 years later, Liv remains a good friend of ours, and we've even taken gorgeous boudoir photos with them!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

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!

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 :)

My husband and I got recommended by steff through our friends who used her for a photoshoot and we are beyond grateful to have met such an amazing person. Steff shot our engagement session and well as our wedding and I don’t even have words to describe how incredible our pictures turned out! Her and her husband are so talented in capturing every single moment and detail there was on our special day. We couldn’t be happier with the way our pictures turned out!!! We HIGHLY recommend her!!
