I’m Cammi! Noelle is my middle name, and I’m a wedding photographer and graphic designer with nearly a decade of experience in the industry. I’m a mama to the sweetest little boy and married to my very best friend—two roles that have shaped my heart for meaningful, honest storytelling more than anything else. I’m deeply people-oriented and endlessly inspired by connection, landscapes, and the moments that matter most. Photography isn’t just my job—it’s the way I tell stories and preserve seasons of life in a way that feels true, emotional, and lasting. I’m incredibly honored to do what I do.

Cammi was absolutely amazing, leading up to our engagement shoot she responded very quickly to any of my questions, we got our photos in a timely manner, and they were STUNNING. She did a great job helping us with posing, and really captured the joy in our photos. I’d highly recommend Noelle Photo

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.

Your images are true-to-life, refined, and timeless — photographs that feel like you now and still feel like you decades from now.

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.

Working with Portraits By Sean was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was professional, efficient, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise.

We were especially grateful that they were able to capture our private final dance, which means the world to us. After our wedding, when our oldest son was leaving for bootcamp, Sean thoughtfully sent us additional photos that had been taken during the celebration, which are now cherished keepsakes for our family. I honestly can't say enough good things about our experience with Portraits By Sean - they exceeded our expectations in every way and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories they've preserved for us.

We can’t say enough amazing things about Promani! They did both our engagement and wedding photos, and every single image took our breath away. Their professionalism, creativity, and warmth made both experiences feel effortless and fun. What truly set them apart, though, was how unbelievably accommodating they were when we completely changed our wedding plans—moving everything from Michigan to Arizona with only three months to re-plan for 80 guests! Promani handled it with total grace and zero hesitation. They coordinated everything seamlessly, showed up ready for anything, and captured our day perfectly despite all the last-minute changes. Our photos are beyond stunning, but what we’ll remember most is how calm, kind, and supportive they were during such a whirlwind time. We’ll treasure these images forever and can’t recommend Promani enough to anyone looking for a professional photographer who truly goes above and beyond!

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 was a dream from the moment we forst spoke to her, she is so so easy to get along with, everyone in our bridal party kept talking about how they loved her vibe and how grgest our photographers were and how much they loved them! The whole process was a dream and she was so patient through every single quedtion we had and thats just rhe beginning!! She was born to be a photographer and you can definitely tell by her work, bot only foes she know exactly what poses to have you make but she makes sure youre comfortable and having fun. We cried when we got our pictures cause it was all ART, I am still in awe whenever we see them and we are so happy to have met her. You will not regret taking any type of photographs with her!!

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.

Liv Lyszyk Photography was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Liv captured every beautiful moment of our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception with such care and artistry. Every photo feels alive — full of the genuine joy and emotion of the day. What really stood out was how effortlessly Liv interacted with our guests. She made everyone feel so comfortable and natural that the photos truly reflect people’s real smiles, laughter, and happiness for us. It’s rare to find someone who can blend professionalism with such warmth and authenticity. We also loved that Liv worked solo. We’ve been to weddings with teams of photographers running around, and it can feel intrusive — but Liv’s presence was calm, confident, and completely unobtrusive. Every moment was beautifully documented without taking away from the experience itself. We are beyond thrilled with our photos and so grateful to have had Liv as part of our wedding day. Her talent, professionalism, and kind spirit made the experience unforgettable.

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!

From the moment we first spoke, they were prompt, easy to work with, and incredibly friendly, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly amazing and unmatched - they captured the true beauty and intimacy of our wedding, never getting in the way but always there to document every important moment. Anna and Jules made me feel special at every turn, and I can't imagine having anyone else photograph us that day. Anna also photographed our engagement pictures so we knew we were in good hands from the start. She was incredibly helpful with planning our wedding day and bringing our vision for our wedding pictures to life.

My background is a little unique—I previously worked as a field photographer for the FBI while capturing weddings in my spare time. Over the years, my passion for weddings grew, and today it has become my full-time focus. Along the way, I’ve built an incredible team of talented photographers and videographers, allowing 83 Weddings to serve couples across the country.

We were thrilled with the work of 83 Weddings as our wedding photographers. From the very first interaction, they were affordable and professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Their communication was prompt and clear, and they took the time to understand our vision for the day. On the wedding day, they seamlessly captured all the special moments, from the emotional ceremony to the lively reception. The final photos exceeded our expectations - the quality was exceptional, and we love how they beautifully documented our day. We highly recommend 83 Weddings to any couple looking for an affordable and professional photography team.

Hey there! I'm Laurissa but I go by Ris for short. I am someone who has always had a passion for photography both in front and behind the lens. Since a young age I have always had a passion for capturing those real moments that are such a big part of our lives. I always have my camera close by for the unique experiences that are to beautiful for words to describe. Once in high school and college I realized how much photography was impacting my life for the better. Since then I have dove head first into my passion as to capture all of your special moments both now and in the future.

We had the most wonderful experience working with Ris for our wedding photography! She was prompt with her communication, easy to work with, and took all of our requests perfectly and was sure to execute them! Our photos turned out perfect, and I love looking back on them and getting to cherish them forever. We loved both our engagement session and our wedding pictures and Ris took care to ensure that we had the absolute best experience possible. Our sneak peeks came out quickly, with the rest of the photos to follow a few weeks later. I highly recommend In the Moment Photography to anyone in need of a wedding photographer, Ris is a gem of a human being and I cannot recommend her enough!

Hii! I am Wendy! I love storytelling and my heart loves endlessly. No two stories are alike and we all have something to learn from each other. I have been on this journey as a wedding photographer for over a decade. I have been taken to so many places that I would have never been to if it weren't for my wonderful clients. I have shared the most beautiful, important and heartfelt moments with my couples, their friends and their families.

We loved having Wendy as our wedding photographer. She is very professional and easy to communicate with. As someone who doesn't love being in front of the camera, Wendy made me feel very comfortable and at ease. She was very timely and helped keep our timeline on track throughout the day which was greatly appreciated. We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend Wendy Thibodeau Photography to any couple looking for a photographer!
