Awarded Best of Zola
Pixie Light has always been our go to for all of our photography needs. Laura and Charna are passionate, professional, creative, and always collaborate with you to ensure you are happy with your experience. It was the easiest decision to have them plan our Itty Bitty Pixie Wedding. Both of us have been married before, but we still wanted a short ceremony that felt genuine and special (but not over the top). Pixie Light took care of everything! We had an initial meeting to discuss plan options, expectations, and how we can still execute a micro-wedding safely during the pandemic. Laura was so patient as we discussed a multitude of location ideas and ultimately helped us choose the best one for us. They coordinated the cake (it was incredibly delicious!!) and officiant for us, which was a huge weight off my shoulders. Our ceremony was written and personalized for us, reflecting both of our interests equally, and had us laughing and smiling for weeks afterward. My husband's vows were based on the Green Lantern oath, which I loved. That doesn't even cover the beautiful photography. Between two photographers, they were able to capture all of the candid, little moments. They even accommodated some individual pictures for my mom's 65th birthday. I couldn't be happier with the pictures- Pixie Light is amazing when it comes to photographic perspective and color contrast. The sunset shots they got are my absolute favorite. I can't recommend them enough. You'll have the event of a lifetime with Pixie Light.

Zingerman's Bakehouse

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $150

Zingerman’s Bakehouse is an artisanal bakery with a baking school in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We started 30 years ago as a simple bread bakery with a single customer, Zingerman’s Delicatessen. Today we make bread, pastries, cakes, lunch items (and so much more!) that we proudly serve to guests in our bustling shop, our Zingerman’s partner businesses, the southeastern Michigan community and beyond.


Awarded Best of Zola
We LOVED working with Zingerman's for our wedding cake and could not give a more positive recommendation! The entire process from cake tasting to finalizing details was very easy to navigate. Every single flavor we tasted from Zingerman's was delicious and the experience of working with their cake designer was such a fun part of wedding planning. I did not have an exact image of the cake I wanted and Zingerman's helped take elements of everything we liked to create something that was uniquely our own. We are looking forward to ordering our future anniversary cakes from Zingerman's!

As a Visual Folklore couple you'll have lots of time with Christine to collaborate on your dream images. If you're looking for a hands-on, helpful, and fun photographer, look no further! I'm here for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot begin to talk about how wonderful Christine is--as a professional, as an artist, but as an individual who deeply cares about her craft and the people she is creating memories for. Christine is spunky and makes even the stiffest models let loose; she makes being photographed comfortable and enjoyable. Her photos truly do speak for themselves. She does an amazing job capturing personalities, candids, but also the deeply emotional and sentimental moments and portraits every bride and groom want to have from their wedding day. Through our engagement session and wedding day, you can truly see our love for each other and personalities shine through in her images. This is truly because of the thoughtfulness, passion, and love Christine has for her profession and the couples she photographs. I cannot emphasize enough that you need Visual Folklore for your wedding or other significant life event!

I could not have envisioned a more perfect place for our wedding reception than Stonebridge. This is a stunning venue! We had our reception at Stonebridge on Friday, 5/31/24. Kim helped us coordinate everything from the beginning and made everything so easy. Stonebridge is great because it includes catering, lots of decor, and ceremony too, though we had our ceremony elsewhere. Having catering through the venue made it that much easier because we didn't have to look for another vendor for this. The outdoor cocktail hour space was beautiful and perfect. Having the outdoor tiki bar in addition to the indoor bar helped move the line along. We had buffet style dinner, and we got so many compliments on our food. The garlic mashed potatoes and bronzed salmon with capers were the clear winners, but everything was so good. The event managers of the day, Sarah and Hannah, were amazing. They checked in on my husband and I frequently to make sure we always had what we needed, and brought us so much peace of mind! If anything went wrong, I don't know about it, because they along with Kim ensured that everything was taken care of. All decorations supplied by Stonebridge were set up and taken down for us at no extra cost, but we also opted to pay a little extra to have Stonebridge's staff clean up the decorations that we brought, which eased a lot of the burden on our families. This was 100% worth every penny. Everything got cleaned up that night and they took great care of our things so nothing was damaged. They also assisted in setting up our donut table shown in one of the attached photos! Pictures don't do this beautiful place justice but hopefully you can get an idea :)

I immediately emailed her and she made a wonderful, somewhat customized package for our wedding that offered a lot for a great price! Kelsey is an amazing photographer and person to work with. She made sure we had everything set and ready to go and was very professional. She even drove the 2 hours one way to shoot our wedding!

Since 2007, I have truly enjoyed sharing music and great times with old friends and new. From a cross country trip to Reno or a house party here in Ann Arbor, each gig has been a gift of sounds and fun for me. I believe the right music can bring people together in a way nothing else can - making a good time great, and a great time unforgettable. I really can’t even call this my “job”, it is an opportunity to make people happy and share my love of music. The music... THE song that takes you back to a memory of past days or a new one you just made.

Patrick was professional, easy to work with and very patient. He did an excellent job and we would use him again in a minute. Tried very hard to have something for everyone, and give the bride and groom exactly what they wanted. Very impressed!!

I've been photographing weddings full time since 2011. When I'm not chasing after wedding parties, my husband and I live to travel. We're avid scuba divers, love exploring, and get overly excited when we find a new brewery or speakeasy. We met at the University of Michigan and we stayed in Ann Arbor because it felt too much like home to leave.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've worked with Chelsea for close to a decade, and after our first couple of weddings together she has been a top recommendation for my couples and friends throughout that time, to the point that she was our own wedding photographer. Her warmth, listening, and creative instructions made it easy to take pictures throughout the day, and that same ability to communicate and be friendly makes her ideal to collaborate with as a vendor. It's hard to explain how much poise and adaptability is needed to be great at weddings, but Chelsea sets herself apart from just being a great photographer (which she is!) with these skills that make her great on a wedding day.

Hi! I’m Joyce. a wedding photographer based in Michigan. I love capturing movement in stillness — real emotions, fleeting moments, the kind of images that feel alive. To me, photography is about turning the “now” into something timeless. I’m a mom to two energetic boys and married to my best friend. They were my first inspiration behind the lens, and still are. Beyond photography, I’m a coffee lover, traveler, skier, flower enthusiast, and part-time explorer of hidden gems. Half introvert, half extrovert — always curious, always creating.

We were very happy we booked our ceremony at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. First of all, the gardens were gorgeous. We had our wedding in early June in the Perennial Gardens, and it's even more beautiful than it looks in photos. During the planning process, Monica was very easy to reach and very organized. We live out of state, but Monica was able to give a tour to my family (who live in town) while my husband and I were on FaceTime so we could see the space, and even gave us another tour once we were in town. We didn't have a day-of coordinator, but we really didn't need one with all of Monica's help. Monica helped us run the rehearsal (along with our officiant), and had assistants on the day of the wedding helping everything run smoothly. They had spaces for the bridal party to "hide" before the ceremony and took us through a back-entrance to the garden so the guests wouldn't see us before the ceremony. They helped us get lined up on time, and Monica even adjusted my dress and veil before walking down the aisle. From our guests perspective, parking was easy and there were signs directing them to the ceremony location. Given that this is an outdoor venue, there's always the risk of rain. However, Monica can help you pick the right time of year to minimize your risk. There's also information on the website about which gardens are at their peak bloom at different times of the year. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Matthaei! We would recommend this location to anyone looking for an outdoor wedding.

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Adam and the VMC team. They were so attentive and caring right from the first introduction all the way through delivering the final product. Hiring VMC was easily one of the best decisions my husband and I made in our wedding planning. Thank you Adam and team for perfectly capturing our day!!
