  • Serves Lake Leelanau, MI

Hi! I’m Carly :) Your new bestie behind the camera! I am located in Traverse City, Michigan, where I was born and raised, but I am always happy to travel for weddings + elopements. I fell in love with taking pictures at a very young age when I received my first film camera as a gift from my parents and have been obsessed ever since. My goal is to create timeless images that you can cherish forever, images that freeze your favorite moments in time. I’m not just a photographer, but a visual storyteller for loved-up souls.

“Choosing Carly was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish! We were pretty nervous going into our engagement shoot because neither of us had much experience in front of a camera, but she put us at ease right away. She gave such clear, natural direction and turned what we thought would be an intimidating process into something effortless and fun. On the wedding day itself, she was nothing short of incredible. She worked seamlessly with all of our other vendors, remained amazingly flexible and adaptable as the schedule shifted, and made the whole day run perfectly. To top it all off, we received our full photo gallery within just two weeks of the wedding, which was mind-blowing! Her talent, warmth, and professionalism are unmatched, and we could not recommend her more highly.”

  • Serves Lake Leelanau, MI

My name is Lisa McCoy (as you can guess)! My husband Aj and I live in Alanson of Northern Michigan. We enjoy camping and road trips. We make sure to find all the hidden gems Michigan has to offer on the way. During Michigan summers we love being on, or in, the water. Kayaking is a personal favorite of ours. Although, I think my happiest place is walking alongside the ocean — I can’t describe how it makes my heart feel to be there! Aj and I enjoy trying new craft beers from all around the state. I always have a bottle of champagne in the fridge while Aj is always trying different kinds of scotch. Hence the names of our wedding packages.

“I asked her pretty last minute to do my wedding, and she was absolutely willing! Saved the day for me. Her professionalism is outstanding, she made sure to ask us first what we were comfortable with and never had us do anything out of those limits.”

I'm a Michigan Native and moved north 6 years ago - best decision I've ever made. I prefer whiskey and lakeside campfires, but I also love a night out on the town. I'm a mom, major cat lady, and I'm currently loving Seinfield reruns. I'm a teacher by degree, and have worked in the event industry for years. I'm a big true crime junkie - podcasts, books, shows - all of it, but I cannot for the life of me watch a scary movie. I believe the best moments happen in the in-between, and these in-betweens tell our story. I love stopping time in these moments, just for a minute, so you can tell your story for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We were thrilled with Grace from Captured by Grace Photography! Communication with Grace was excellent - she responded quickly and thoroughly answered all our questions during the planning process. On the big day, Grace brought an incredible energy - she made taking photos fun and kept things moving smoothly. The quality of Grace's work is simply stunning. She delivered way more high-quality, artistic photos than we expected, capturing all the special moments of our wedding day and telling the story beautifully. Grace also created a wonderful mix of posed portraits and candid shots that we will treasure forever. We felt like Grace intuitively understood what we wanted and needed on our wedding day. From our first couples photos years ago when we started dating, through our engagement session, and finally our wedding day, we have loved working with Grace. We can't recommend Captured by Grace highly enough - Grace is simply the best wedding photographer with an awesome talent and vibrant personality! If you need a photographer she is the one to hire!”

Hey it's me Alexis! I am a Traverse City based wedding photographer! I have had the honor of photographing beautiful weddings all around Michigan the past 4 years. Having traveled to Arizona, Tennessee, Nebraska, Florida, South Carolina, California, and more, I am open and ready to travel abroad for your wedding as well!

“Alexis Brianne Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was easily understandable, thorough, and very organized, which helped put our minds at ease throughout the wedding planning process. Alexis' photos and editing skills are truly amazing - there were so many beautiful pictures to choose from, it was almost overwhelming. Her attention to detail and ability to freeze special moments in time is just incredible. Before the wedding, Alexis was in constant contact with us, and on the day of, her calm presence helped reassure my wife when her anxiety started to get the best of her. When I needed to make a last-minute change, Alexis was incredibly reassuring and helped me work through it. We really appreciated the time she spent with us going over specific shots we wanted, as well as her suggestions for other unique angles and perspectives. Compared to some of our friends who paid almost 15,000 for their wedding photography, Alexis' work and value is unmatched. In fact, I even suggested she consider raising her prices (after our wedding, of course!). Overall, Alexis Brianne Photography exceeded our expectations in every way and we couldn't be happier with the results.”

My photography is bright, colorful and true-to-life. I love to find the balance between the posed, elegant portraits and the candid, joyful photos of you and your partner, surrounded by your favorite people coming together to celebrate your love. I want your photos to capture authentic emotion and meaningful moments, and for the images to be timeless heirlooms that you’ll look back at fondly for years to come. I focus on the meaningful connection of the moment rather than perfect posing. Your wedding is a day full of emotion, and I want your photos to highlight those feelings.

“5/5 stars for our amazing photographer! Starting from the initial contact she was professional, courteous, and helped us with every step of our photography journey. Our engagement photos were gorgeous and she helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera while also making sure we had amazing photos. She’ll help guide you in a kind way and is very accommodating! We got a preview of our wedding photos the next day which was amazing! Would definitely recommend Kristen for weddings!”

My style of photography is very playful and emotive with a touch of traditional. I believe there is more to photography than just taking photos. I love to capture EVERY emotion! And tell YOUR story perfectly for you to look back on, remember and feel. Weddings, elopements, couples, maternity & babies are my jam, but I LOVE everything else in between as well! I am living my DREAM getting to capture all of your special moments. I could not imagine doing anything else besides momming my two baby boys! Being a boy mama is such a wild ride that I would not change for the world!

“Leah is absolutely AMAZING!!! She does beautiful work and is amazing to work with. She gave us memories that will last forever and I’m so grateful that she included so much to our big day. I highly recommend her for any photo secession. Can’t wait for the holidays as she will be doing our Christmas photos!”

Andrejka Photography

I have been a wedding photographer for over a decade... I love telling people's stories through classic, natural photography. My ultimate life mission is to make people feel good… whether it’s with a smile, a hug, a super cheesy joke or finding a way to turn a stressful situation into a positive one! As for my name Andrejka (aan-DRAY-ka)... it’s Slovenian from my immigrant parents... who I think have the most movie-worthy love story on the planet (might explain my obsession with love and weddings)! Traveling feeds my soul... yoga centers it... and dancing, well... Check out my IG or website to see just how much I love to dance! I

“From our first conversation, Andrejka felt like a friend who genuinely cared about our wedding day. She handled both photography and planning, and created a detailed timeline that kept everything running smoothly without any stress. What really impressed us was how she went above and beyond—she even arranged our airport pickup and helped us get to the courthouse for our marriage license, making us feel like celebrities the whole time. Her attention to detail showed in every aspect of the day, from the photos to how she guided us through each moment. She and her staff stayed calm and supportive throughout, which made such a difference. Andrejka was worth every penny, and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares.,”

I like to say you get two professionals for the price of one. I try to offer quality at a reasonable cost.

From the little details they were on it. She made me feel like family. Mostly, her images are what we have left of our day and I’m so glad we went with Timeless Imagery.

“Heather and Kevin photographed my wedding and I cannot imagine having anyone else in their place. If their work doesn’t speak for themselves enough here’s a few from my experience; They were both extremely personable, professional, knowledgeable and so talented. They helped keep the timeline of the day in tact, helped keep all of us in good spirits and during the important moments faded into the background to do their thing. They remembered all the poses we gave for inspiration and what we wanted focused on. We are so happy with how they turned out. They kept us laughing and joyful the entire day! The photos are BEAUTIFUL, these two are truly outstanding at what they do. Thank you!!”

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!

“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.”

“I don't even know where to begin - Dani is simply amazing and if it were possible to give her a 10 star rating, I would. She not only captured my husband and I's intimate mountain top elopement, but her and Jed also followed us through out the rest of the day and photographed our reception that we held with family and friends. We are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable (even at 5am in the morning lol) and our photos prove it. Dani puts so much work into finding the perfect elopement locations and the most flattering lighting. My husband and I are BEYOND ecstatic with how our photos turned out - she captured who we truly are and how much love we have for each other. I can never thank them enough for how much work they put into our elopement and reception day. We are so happy to have these memories forever.”

“Where to begin? Finding Katy was truly one of the biggest blessings of our wedding process. It was very important to find a photographer who we felt had, and actively displayed, the ability to photograph in an inclusive, respectful and honest manner. We are an interfaith couple with family and friends who fall everywhere along the social, identity and religious spectrum. Once we found Katy, we were blown away by the love, care and diversity showcased in her portfolio. Upon meeting with her virtually, we were convinced that she was the right person. Katy is kind, understanding and VERY good at what she does. When it comes to the work, Katy was proactive without being pushy and really took to heart what we wanted out of our photos. Over the course of the experience, we were able to develop a real friendship with her because she is that good of a person. The day of the event, Katy was locked in and on top of everything. Prior to our weekend, she had done an amazing job of giving us prep sheets and coordinating as much detail as possible so the big day could just glide. Katy and her second shooter Jen (who was amazing, too!) were professional, fun and didn't miss a moment of the day. Everything from planned photos to impromptu shots felt fun and natural. Getting back the album completely blew past our expectations. Every photo captured exactly what we had discussed with her. So many photographs left us speechless. Katy should be at the top of your list if you want great photos full of love, care, and magic. She is down to earth and was the only photographer we spoke to that didn't make us feel like we were just another gig for them.”

My approach blends natural, candid moments with gently guided portraits to create imagery that feels timeless, refined, and true to each couple. From the first conversation to the final gallery, I provide a high-touch experience so you feel supported, present, and able to fully enjoy every moment of your wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Aside from getting married, choosing Sydney Marie Photography was the best decision we made regarding vendors. Sydney kept us in the loop throughout the entire planning process - sometimes we needed that extra communication and we appreciated it more than we expected. We scheduled an Engagement Session to get to know her in person first and get comfortable with the camera and it was so worth it because not only did we get incredible shots, we also got to know her on a personal level which helped guide all conversations and interactions leading up to the wedding. Engagement photos came back quick, and we loved what we saw. She even came into town to do the venue walkthrough with us and see our hotel getting ready space which was above and beyond what we expected her to do. It didn't matter that she was based out of Michigan - she knew Chicago and the wedding scene so well, and was availble for anything we needed. Her years of experience shined through in helping us plan photo locations and curating the perfect timeline and shot list. We felt ready for the big day thanks to her. On the day of our wedding, she had this natural ability to capture moments as they happened while staying flexible enough to try new ideas we threw her way. She genuinely felt like part of our celebration rather than someone hovering in the background. Sydney guided us when we needed direction but mostly let our love and joy shine through in every shot. We are already obsessed with our sneak peek and cannot wait to see the whole album. We are moving to Michigan later next year (where she is located) and will definitely be keeping Sydney in mind for any future photoshoots our life may bring our way. Who knew a photographer could make or break how everything came together? Sydney was certainly our glue. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”

I’m Sam, a wedding photographer known for thoughtful details, images that feel effortless, and a calm presence. I’ve been photographing weddings across the U.S. since 2011. Most couples tell me they’re not comfortable in front of the camera, and that’s completely normal. I’m experienced at guiding people just enough to feel at ease. Outside of weddings, I’m usually at home with my husband and our three kids, which has taught me a lot about patience, flexibility, and staying calm when plans inevitably change. Skills that turn out to be very useful on a wedding day.
