Hi I'm Katey! Your storyteller behind the lens, capturing the pure magic of love against the breathtaking backdrop of the Upper Peninsula and the serene shores of Lake Superior. I'm not just a photographer, I'm a hopeless romantic with a passion for freezing those genuine moments that not only make your heart skip a beat, but will last a lifetime. Based in the enchanting Upper Peninsula, I've fallen head over heels for the natural beauty that surrounds us. From lush forests to the pristine shores of Lake Superior, every location becomes a canvas for love stories to unfold.

β€œOK... Right out of the gate, my first to do was to book my photographer. Katey was absolutely my number one go to, and I knew I had to try to get her for my wedding. From the first contact, to the end of the night and even to today she has been beyond superior. She worked so dang hard to keep us relaxed and captured everything I envisioned. She's calm, cool and collective. I can't say enough about her pictures, the way she captures the details that you wouldn't necessarily notice on your big day is incredible. I can't say enough about her and can't wait to book her for another shoot one day.”

I started my photography career back in 2010 and have captured hundreds of stories over the years. I found my true passion in intimate weddings and elopements in 2016 when I rode in a chairlift to the top of a mountain to document a small ceremony in the company of 50 of their closest family and friends, their dogs, and an aged bottle of scotch that acted as a unity candle. From that moment I decided to specialize in capturing intimate weddings and elopements in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan!

Hi, my name is Vivian. I grew up in the beautiful state of Oregon and have a huge black great dane. He makes my heart sing! Art has always been my entire life. Aside from wedding photography, I also take pictures for the news! Some of my other hobbies include hiking, camping and traveling. I’ve spent a lot of time backpacking all over the world and made a ton of amazing memories doing it.

β€œVivian Claire did such an amazing job on our wedding. She was VERY punctual. She attended our rehearsal to get an idea of our everything would photograph and then was at our wedding day THE ENTIRE DAY, which was amazing because she captured so many little details for us. She was like a ninja and sometimes she was at places we didn’t even know to get awesome shots. We got some of those classic/traditional wedding pictures, but Vivian also captured some non-rational pictures which we loved! She has so many ideas that were amazing! She even brought a speaker to play some music to get some even better shots! Vivian is quiet,but an amazing photographer, who does amazing work!”

β€œChoosing them was the best decision of our entire wedding. I didn’t worry once about pictures or video because I trusted them fully. When I got everything back I literally sobbed. They caught moments I never saw, like my dad wiping a tear during the vows. The colors are stunning, warm but not fake. The way they caught golden hour shots of us holding hands looks straight out of a magazine. The video is beyond what I imagined, especially with the music choices. I loved that they included clips of our guests laughing and hugging us. My best friend keeps saying she wants to hire them for her wedding too. Every single guest I’ve shown the photos to says they are incredible. Honestly, they’re worth double what they charge. Truly unforgettable.”

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

β€œWe loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.”

From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it.

They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget.

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!

I’m Taylorβ€”your photographer, hype girl, and unofficial chaos coordinator. Wild + Free is for the lovers who kiss with their whole soul, dance like nobody’s watching, and ugly-cry through their vows. I don’t do boring. I don’t do basic. I do raw, real, romantic-as-hell moments that hit you right in the feels. Based in Michigan, ready to follow love wherever it leads. If your wedding’s less about tradition and more about wild joy and soul-deep connection, we’re gonna make magic.

β€œTaylor is an absolutely amazing person to work with. We had our engagement shoot with her and we were laughing the whole time. She made my fiancΓ© and me forget there was a camera on us. I can’t wait for her to shoot our wedding!”

β€œWe couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were professional, warm, and attentive to every detail. On the day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and managed to capture every special moment so beautifullyβ€”both the big highlights and the candid little in-between shots that mean so much. The photos are absolutely stunning !!! timeless, romantic, and filled with emotion. Every time we look at them, we’re transported right back to that day. Our friends and family can’t stop raving about how gorgeous the pictures turned out! Beyond their talent, what really stood out was how seamlessly they blended in with our guests while still capturing every angle. It honestly felt like they were everywhere at once without ever being intrusive. If you’re looking for someone who will not only deliver breathtaking photos but also make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free, look no further. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding !! Thank you again luxurious memories.”

She helped us come up with a great route for our photos and the best places to take photos. She took into account the experience of the bridal party and provided clear and helpful instructions.
