Working with just a handheld digital camcorder, I’m there to catch all the intimate moments without anyone feeling ‘on’ or taking additional time away from the celebration you have dreamed of for so long. Basically a fly on the wall, or permanent third wheel. I cannot wait to capture all the love in edited films to be cherished for decades to come 💗

We were so excited to have Cailyn capture our wedding. Her style was everything we could have hoped for. She was SO kind, accommodating, informative, and relaxed. I barely noticed she was there, but she captured so many moments from the beginning to the end of our wedding day and pieced them together with music we love. Cailyn created such a cool, laid-back, emotional, retro film/home video for us. We couldnt have wished for more!

We had a beautiful wedding ceremony at Creekside Gathering Place in late September 2024. It was actually the only venue we visited, because as soon as we met Joni and saw the beautiful outdoor ceremony space and the cozy historic barn/reception space, we were in. Joni is so great, she feels like family to us now. The wedding planner, Katie, is essential to making everything run smoothly. She went above and beyond communicating with us and organizing everything. She made sure that we didn't have to do anything other than enjoy ourselves--from the ceremony, to dancing, drinking champagne, and cutting cake--she was amazing. Joni did a beautiful job with our ceremony, and she arranged the most gorgeous flowers. Also the photographer Kellyn is very focused and detail-oriented. She works hard to make sure the pictures are perfect, and she made us feel comfortable. A huge thanks to Creekside for giving us a beautiful day that we will always remember so fondly.

We highly recommend AA Studios! They were our wedding videographers and we are so thankful we found them! They were easy to work with. Their communication from the very beginning was fantastic and it never faltered. They sent us a questionnaire to fill out that ended up being incredibly helpful with some wedding planning details we hadn’t even thought of yet. The day of they were on time and ready to go! They immediately got started with videoing details as we got ready. They were kind and accommodating all day. After, they continued their great communication and updated us often on where they were with the editing process. They provided multiple videos within the contracted time frame. Now…on to the quality of the finished products. AMAZING! We received a teaser video of a few seconds and it made us so excited for what was to come! After that was our highlight video. Watching that had us smiling from ear to ear as we remembered our day and saw things we didn’t see the day of. It was absolutely beautifully edited. We shared it with our friends and family on Facebook and everyone loved it as well. We also received our full ceremony, which I have watched probably 100 times since then. They captured every word, every emotion. Another video was our reception video. It included our entrance, cake cutting, speeches and dances. We love rewatching that and hearing the words spoken and laughing at our not so perfect dancing. Finally, we received an extended highlight video with some messages from family at the end. We loved it and having those moments captured! We are forever thankful that we found Alex and Anastasiia, we consider them friends now! We will always have these beautiful videos as a memory of how perfect our day was and how obvious our love for each other is. They even surprised us with a bonus gift when they sent our usb of the videos. Thank you a million times over! Now do yourself a favor and book them! You won’t regret it!!

This was the perfect venue for us. Do you want an old-world feel and classic feeling for your wedding? This is perfect. Do you want all the amenities, modern accommodations for your wedding? This isn’t it. We wanted to feel like we were in another world for our wedding. This served as the perfect place. My husband and I stayed in the Ivy suite and his groomsmen in the Essex. This was perfect as he went to the Essex room to get ready with the groomsmen and the Ivy was perfect for the bridal party as there were multiple rooms for hair and makeup to set up. Most of the wedding party and family rented out the rooms - so we got to see those, and all were unique and beautiful in their own ways. I recommend reserving the room Bath for a bridesmaid or whomever will be steaming dresses. The pergola and Medovue Hall both were beautiful for the ceremony and reception respectively. We didn’t do a lot of decorations because I felt the beauty of the hall spoke for itself. We had the Duck for dinner - and it was perfect. Everyone raved about it. The bartenders and waitstaff were so nice and personable. Adriana was great to organize and work with. All in all, we loved our venue and highly recommend it.

The Cadillac Room was a great value for our wedding. They communicated only via email, but responded quickly to any questions we had. On the day of, they provided everything that was included in our plan and were quick to address any issues that came up. The only negatives would be that they were pretty inflexible with some things - we weren't allowed to decorate or even store items the night before, and the earliest we could access the venue was 8am the day of the wedding which was pretty stressful. Overall however, the quality of their work was very good and they helped make our special day run smoothly.

Hey! I'm Taylor, a Mid-Michigan based photographer with a photography style inspired by fantasy novels, nature and vintage vibes. I specialize in Elopement and Intimate Wedding photography. When I'm not capturing people's special moments, I love to read, hike, travel, and spend time with the important people in my life. Growing up I was always in my grandmother's studio having tea parties, painting and being her little model. Wanting to be like my grandmother at a young age, I had a disposable camera in my hands at all times. I would pose not only my family members, but my stuffed animals and dolls.

North Light Photography LLC (Taylor) was a wonderful choice for our engagement photography. From the very beginning, their communication was fast, helpful, and incredibly nice. They took the time to understand our vision and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Michigan State University Horticulture Gardens. Victoria was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond helping us with decorating, vendor coordination, and layout planning. The venue itself is stunning with the perfect balance of existing plants, so we didn't need to bring in many decorations except for the tables! As a surprise, they installed new string lights across the ceiling two weeks before our wedding, and they kept them up as a permanent addition to the space. They even unlocked the butterfly garden so we could get photos there. From start to finish, Victoria's attention to detail and willingness to make our day special made all the difference! We were afraid that the space would feel too warm having to stay at a regulated temperature for the plants, but it was very comfortable from start to finish! We even closed the doors at one point to keep it warmer. (Our wedding day was about 62 degrees and windy)

Hi there! I'm so happy you are here, and I can't wait to learn more about you and your dream wedding! I'm a classic, authentic photographer who is ready to be your number one cheerleader on your wedding day. Getting to know my couples is a top priority of mine, so please message me if you want to grab a cup of coffee or set up a FaceTime chat!

When deciding what type of photography we wanted for our engagement and wedding, my husband and I were pretty clueless. All I said was that I wanted our pictures to just reflect our love and look like us. Enter Lauren, from Lauren Wood Photography, and all of the dreams we didn't know we had came true. Lauren is a true master at what she does, she makes you feel and look the most beautiful you've ever looked, while still capturing who you are and how you're feeling perfectly. Her pictures are timeless and gorgeously stunning! She really guided us throughout our engagement photoshoot and our wedding day and helped my husband and I not feel like awkward ducks doing poses that felt unnatural or not like ourselves. I couldn't tell you exactly how she does it except that to say she just made us feel so comfortable the entire time and gave us the space to be silly, and just enjoy ourselves. We couldn't recommend Lauren highly enough and I absolutely know we will be working with her for more family milestones in the future!

My pronouns are she/her, and my journey in photography was inspired by my mother's artistry in preserving our family memories on film. Photography has been a constant companion throughout my life. In my early days, I relied on disposable cameras for adventures and a mini digital camera to capture the energy of concerts. As time progressed, my fascination deepened, focusing on the world's beauty and the profound emotions within each fleeting moment.

We chose Tara to photograph our wedding because her portfolio was so eye catching. You obviously want nice professional photos of your family, but you also want to feel like the photos are a little more artistic or special than just a run of the mill point and shoot session. Tara gave us the *perfect* photos of our small wedding that look very impressive but also capture how special and intimate it felt- almost like we were in our own art house film. She was also just super nice and easy going to work with in general. I also appreciated her suggestions for posing as she definitely listened to any ideas we had but also helped us more awkward people look our best in the family portraits without any stress!

Hi! We are Alpha Lit Mid Mich! Light up your celebration with premium marquee letters and numbers. Serving Mid Michigan weddings, parties, graduations, and corporate events. From proposal to pickup, we make event decor effortless.

We hired Alpha Lit Mid Michigan to create custom lighting for our daughter's graduation celebration, and they knocked it out of the park. From our first conversation, the team was friendly and knowledgeable, answering all our questions without making us feel rushed. They designed a piece that had her name in lights, which perfectly highlighted her and tied in beautifully with our decor. What impressed us most was how quickly they set-up the project while keeping the quality top-notch and really making the design feel special. Our daughter loved it, and honestly, it became the centerpiece everyone wanted to take photos with. We'd absolutely recommend Alpha Lit Mid Michigan to anyone looking for custom lighting that goes above and beyond.
