“Anastasia did an amazing job on our wedding and engagement photos! She has a timeless editing style and we know that we will treasure these photos for years. She was able to capture the colors, unique venue details, and our personalities exceptionally well. We had a huge range of venues and lighting (from outdoors in the sun to indoors at Greenfield Village with only candlelight) and all of the photos look great. Not only that, but she was a tremendous help on the day of our wedding, especially with the paperwork, and stuck to an efficient timeline that made photos as easy as possible for all involved.

I like my photos warm, my people a little weird, and my moments genuine. Seven years behind the camera and I'm still convinced the best photos happen somewhere between the poses. Forever In The Day Photography was built around one simple idea: there is magic in the mundane. I'm a storyteller at heart, and photography gives me a way to hold onto the tiny pieces of life that otherwise disappear too quickly. The laughs, the tears, the chaos, the quiet, and everything in between. That's the stuff I love.

“Working with Forever In The Day Photography LLC was such a smooth experience from start to finish. She was easy to communicate with and understood exactly what we wanted even when we weren't sure ourselves. She captured our engagement session and wedding day beautifully, even getting the small details of our day and we got our sneak peeks back right away which was incredible. The final gallery came through so fast too, and honestly, every single photo is stunning. We love looking back at them and appreciating the care she put into every shot. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who's both professional and genuinely nice to work with.”

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.

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!

I'm a professional photographer serving Michigan, New England, and beyond. I have a wandering soul and a profound passion for capturing life's beautiful moments. 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.

“Tara's eye for detail and superb shots will leave you with photos that capture the love of your wedding stunningly. I loved her photography from her portfolio and she delivers. Pre-wedding, Tara was incredibly responsive and really organized when it came to making the photo timeline. During the day, her kindness and expertise guided us, a pretty photo awkward couple, to pose like models. If you want gorgeous photos that capture the day and are worthy of their own art exhibition, book Tara!”
