Truly cannot thank them enough for how amazing they are. Wes spoke with us from the beginning and was nothing but fun and professional. Landon was assigned as our DJ and killed it. We had so many people come up to us saying the music was some of the best they’ve heard at a wedding. He made sure to incorporate all of our silly requests and kept the vibes nothing but amazing. Truly wouldn’t have been as perfect of a day without them.

We truly cannot thank Kelly enough for capturing our wedding so beautifully. From the moment we met Kelly, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. Her warmth, professionalism, and calming presence was such a gift throughout the entire day. When we received our photos, we couldn’t believe what we saw - absolutely stunning! Kelly captured every special moment so perfectly — the big, unforgettable moments as well as the small, candid ones we didn’t even realize were happening. Each photo tells a story and allows us to relive the joy, love, and happiness of our wedding day all over again. Kelly’s talent is incredible, and her attention to detail is unmatched.

We are so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. I should also mention Kelly is a great communicator and a quick text away. She made sure we got the family photos we needed and any fun ones we requested too! ALSO Kelly gave us preview photos the day after the wedding!! And then the full gallery in less than 2 weeks!!

She exceeded every expectation and gave us the most priceless gift. Thank you, Kelly!!

Soul Stories is our passion project in the truest sense, it was born out of a love for the moments words can’t quite hold — the quiet glances, the laughter between vows, the way love feels when it’s seen rather than said. By day, Sena (lead photographer) is a nurse and Shelton (lead photographer) works in cybersecurity — and as a couple, photo and video has always been the way we remember and cherish life. Documenting love, celebration, and the moments that matter most is something we've always done naturally. We simply decided to share that gift with others.

They stepped in to help without hesitation when a couple things went awry, and their warm presence helped calm my nerves and allowed me the space to take a much-needed breather when I was feeling overwhelmed.

My husband and I met Chad, the owner, a few months before our wedding. He was very straightforward with what would and might not work well with our venue. We opted for lights and a photo booth. The song selection was great! Our family had the time of their lives alone sending in requests. The wedding day? AMAZING. He and his coworker, Eric, easily read the room to keep the music going. Our guests enjoyed them very much and let us know how much fun they had at our reception. We do not regret a single bit about having Celebrity Productions as our DJ!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

Hi. I'm Jaymi! I'm a West Michigan wedding photographer specializing in creative, documentary-style wedding photography for couples who want authentic, story-driven images with a blend of candid moments and artistic composition. Michigan is home, but I'm available for travel worldwide!

I'm absolutely in love with Jaymi and her photography service! Lengthy positive review ahead: Initially, I was drawn to her cinematic style of photography; often intentionally capturing otherwise candid moments lost to time and preserving them forever. I work in entertainment, with a degree in fine arts, so finding someone with a keen eye for color, composition, and bespoke style was important to me and my husband. Jaymi's photography style is very unique in the world of wedding photography. Like I mentioned, her style leans more like stills from movies, rather than structure portraits. Of course, we received many traditional photos (with a touch of Jaymi's style), but I absolutely adore the photos that feel more candid. Aside from taking lovely photos of us and our friends/family, Jaymi does a great job at taking photos of the wedding itself. With how much prep goes into florals, cakes, venues, and decor, having photos that capture the vibe from the day are really important. Her photos truly showcase the feeling of the day, taking advantage of the weather, air, nature, and placement of everything. Additionally, the editing she applies to the photos feels nostalgic, and creates a timeless look! Jaymi's process throughout our entire booking/prep/and big day was professional, attentive, loving, and thoughtful. I dearly appreciated that she wanted to get to know us as a couple, and incorporated that into her work. She checked in with us often before the wedding, making sure we were prepared and feeling good about everything. Most notably, Jaymi required us to fill out a very thorough document to help prep her as much as possible; from minor details about us as a couple to specific information about relationships/photo groupings. Additionally, Jaymi went above and beyond providing sneak peaks and the final photos. I was stunned with the volume of breathtaking photos we received, and the swiftness in sharing sneak peak photos post wedding! One of my favorite memories was driving home the day after our wedding, and going through the sneak peaks admits a 10 hour drive. All these things were something I really appreciated, wedding photos are very intimate and it's assuring to work with someone who cares as much about the photos as we do. Lastly, I want to compliment Jaymi as a person! She is incredibly kind, and really brings the 'joy' in Jaymi Joy. She was cheerful throughout the entire day, keeping things on track and making sure everyone was feeling great. Jaymi is flexible, understanding, patient, and above all else, caring. I truly cannot compliment Jaymi enough, and know she will treat every wedding with the same devotion she treated ours.

Weddings can be overwhelming, but at April Hertz Coordination Services, we truly understand the stress that comes with planning and executing your special day.

Trust us to handle all the coordination and planning services, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable wedding experience for you.

April could change her title to 'wedding-saver' and it would be just as accurate. The night before our wedding, we learned that the venue had removed one of our tables and we had to redo our seating chart - April sprang into gear, helping us to get a new print-out of seating arrangements as well as verifying their accuracy the morning of the big day. She ensured all of our vendors were on time, kept me from having to deal with day-of difficulties (last-minute cancellations, timing issues, overzealous family members, etc.), and helped us clean up at the end of the night. We would have been lost without her!

I really wanted a cake that would feel like the moment, not JUST fit the vibe. Something that could evoke a lot of feeling — not just for me, but for everyone that got to be part of the experience. In other words.. I wanted a piece of art! And this cake did more than deliver! Also, it’s typical sometimes to sacrifice flavor over presentation. But when I tell you to go right ahead and set that high expectation for flavor, you will STILL be shocked by how delicious it is! And your guests will literally be asking you constantly where you got it from (especially if you get the chocolate cake!) I honestly couldn’t imagine another cake making a moment feel more special than this one did for me!

From the moment we booked Creative Capture Photography GR, they were an absolute joy to work with. Their communication was incredibly fast and professional, and they were clearly very knowledgeable about their craft. On the day of my shoot their warm and friendly energy helped to calm any nerves we had about the photo shoot. They provided excellent guidance on posing and gave us so many creative ideas to make our photos really stand out. The final results were truly outstanding - the quality was amazing and exceeded our expectations in every way. I was thrilled with how my shoot turned out and are so grateful to Creative Capture Photography GR for capturing such beautiful pictures of me and the ability to be apart of amazing projects with them!

The Cheney Place is an incredible choice for a wedding venue! The entire staff was incredibly kind and helpful. From the day we booked, they were always available to answer any questions or help with anything we needed. They make planning a breeze! Meg was our day of coordinator and she was so sweet and helpful. Coordinated with all of the vendors ahead of time and made sure everything was set up perfectly! Ellie took over later in the day and made sure everything went smoothly and cleaned everything up so quickly and helped us get all of our stuff! I cannot stop raving about how great they were! On top of the great staff, the venue is absolutely stunning. I received so many compliments on how gorgeous the venue was and how it was unique. The elevator entrance for the bride was also a huge hit!! 100% would recommend to anyone that they get married here!
