Taylor M Zinn Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Petoskey, MI

Hi, I’m Taylor Zinn! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Harrison, Michigan, a cozy little town right in the heart of the mitten. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up the chaos and joy of life with my husband of 12 years and our two kiddos (ages 4 and 10). I live for salty ocean air, hot tea, and the dream of one day finishing my very ambitious book collection. Around here, The Office reruns are a staple (as soon as Bluey wraps up, of course). Let’s make some magic together.

Taylor absolutely crushed it on our wedding day! From start to finish, she went above and beyond what we could have ever hoped for in a photographer. Not only did she capture every single detail beautifully, but she also helped keep the day running smoothly — almost like a mini-wedding planner for Meghan and me. Her calm presence and organization made such a difference in helping us actually enjoy the day. Taylor’s aesthetic is stunning — a true-color, elegant style that perfectly reflects the natural beauty of the moment. We’ve received countless compliments on our photos from friends and family, and even several guests commented during the wedding about how great she was to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable and managed to capture so many genuine moments without ever feeling intrusive. We were also so impressed with how quickly she delivered our preview gallery — it was such a joy to relive the day so soon after! Taylor also did our engagement photos, which she absolutely killed, and it made us even more confident that our wedding photos would be incredible (and they were!). I can’t recommend Taylor enough — she’s talented, professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about what she does. If you’re looking for someone to capture your day perfectly, Taylor M Zinn Photography is the one.

Avery Elliot Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Petoskey, MI

Hi, I’m Avery — a Northern Michigan wedding photographer based in Traverse City. I’m passionate about capturing honest, documentary-style imagery that tells your story through real, unposed moments. My approach is calm and intentional, focusing on connection and the beauty in the in-between. Photography, for me, is about more than just beautiful images — it’s about preserving emotion and memory in their truest form. I’d be so honored to capture your day in a way that feels genuine, timeless, and full of heart.

From our first interaction, Avery was incredibly responsive and made scheduling so easy, which we really appreciated during the planning process. We were drawn to her documentary style approach since I don't photograph well when posing, and she delivered exactly what we wanted—she had this amazing ability to blend into the background and capture genuine moments without us feeling like we were being watched. Even with just the sneak peeks, we're blown away by how dreamy the photos look. On our wedding day, Avery was an absolute joy to be around and went beyond just taking pictures. She helped us with timeline planning, served as our personal hype woman, and made the whole experience feel effortless. We're already counting down the days until we get our full gallery back and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly gets it.

Andrejka Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Petoskey, MI
  • Classic style

I have been a wedding photographer for over a decade... I love telling people's stories through classic, natural photography. My ultimate life mission is to make people feel good… whether it’s with a smile, a hug, a super cheesy joke or finding a way to turn a stressful situation into a positive one! As for my name Andrejka (aan-DRAY-ka)... it’s Slovenian from my immigrant parents... who I think have the most movie-worthy love story on the planet (might explain my obsession with love and weddings)! Traveling feeds my soul... yoga centers it... and dancing, well... Check out my IG or website to see just how much I love to dance! I

From our first conversation, Andrejka felt like a friend who genuinely cared about our wedding day. She handled both photography and planning, and created a detailed timeline that kept everything running smoothly without any stress. What really impressed us was how she went above and beyond—she even arranged our airport pickup and helped us get to the courthouse for our marriage license, making us feel like celebrities the whole time. Her attention to detail showed in every aspect of the day, from the photos to how she guided us through each moment. She and her staff stayed calm and supportive throughout, which made such a difference. Andrejka was worth every penny, and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares.,

  • Classic style

  • Serves Petoskey, MI

Hi! I’m Carly :) Your new bestie behind the camera! I am located in Traverse City, Michigan, where I was born and raised, but I am always happy to travel for weddings + elopements. I fell in love with taking pictures at a very young age when I received my first film camera as a gift from my parents and have been obsessed ever since. My goal is to create timeless images that you can cherish forever, images that freeze your favorite moments in time. I’m not just a photographer, but a visual storyteller for loved-up souls.

Choosing Carly was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish! We were pretty nervous going into our engagement shoot because neither of us had much experience in front of a camera, but she put us at ease right away. She gave such clear, natural direction and turned what we thought would be an intimidating process into something effortless and fun. On the wedding day itself, she was nothing short of incredible. She worked seamlessly with all of our other vendors, remained amazingly flexible and adaptable as the schedule shifted, and made the whole day run perfectly. To top it all off, we received our full photo gallery within just two weeks of the wedding, which was mind-blowing! Her talent, warmth, and professionalism are unmatched, and we could not recommend her more highly.

  • Serves Petoskey, MI

For more than a decade, I’ve photographed weddings throughout Northern Michigan and beyond with a documentary approach and an editorial eye. I love beautiful design, but I’m most drawn to the people, relationships, and unscripted moments that make your wedding uniquely yours. My goal is to create timeless photographs that let you stay fully present on your wedding day and become even more meaningful in the years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Anna Beth Smith was a breath of fresh air from start to finish. She communicated with us in a straightforward way that made planning feel easy, and on our wedding day she moved through our family and friends with such grace that most people barely noticed her capturing the moment. Her photos are sharp and intentional, with an upscale quality that shows how much thought she puts into each shot. What really stood out was her genuine personality paired with professionalism—she felt like part of our celebration, not just someone behind the camera. We got our photos back before promised and couldn't believe how clean and polished they looked. Anna Beth delivered exactly what she promised and then some, and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who cares about their couples as much as their craft.

Lisa McCoy Photography LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Serves Petoskey, MI

My name is Lisa McCoy (as you can guess)! My husband Aj and I live in Alanson of Northern Michigan. We enjoy camping and road trips. We make sure to find all the hidden gems Michigan has to offer on the way. During Michigan summers we love being on, or in, the water. Kayaking is a personal favorite of ours. Although, I think my happiest place is walking alongside the ocean — I can’t describe how it makes my heart feel to be there! Aj and I enjoy trying new craft beers from all around the state. I always have a bottle of champagne in the fridge while Aj is always trying different kinds of scotch. Hence the names of our wedding packages.

Lisa was absolutely amazing to work with. I got engaged in 2019 and married on May 15, 2021. I’m a wedding planner myself, so I had a lot of my timelines done early on, but Planning through a pandemic had a lot of ups and downs while working around all the state guidelines. Lisa was amazing in helping come up with ideas to help make something work in case we ultimately had to go a different route. We lucked out and got to have a wonderful day. Lisa and her second shooter (husband) put the group at ease and was wonderful posing all of us. Her pictures turned out more than we could ever imagine. So many people compliment us on all of them. I highly recommend her to anyone.

  • Serves Petoskey, MI

I'm a Michigan Native and moved north 6 years ago - best decision I've ever made. I prefer whiskey and lakeside campfires, but I also love a night out on the town. I'm a mom, major cat lady, and I'm currently loving Seinfield reruns. I'm a teacher by degree, and have worked in the event industry for years. I'm a big true crime junkie - podcasts, books, shows - all of it, but I cannot for the life of me watch a scary movie. I believe the best moments happen in the in-between, and these in-betweens tell our story. I love stopping time in these moments, just for a minute, so you can tell your story for years to come.

Grace was wonderful through the entire wedding process from engagement photos to the big day. She has a way of putting people at ease and makes getting those candid photos a breeze. I cant say enough good things about her.

From our very first interaction with Ellie, at EM Creative Photography, we knew it was going to be a pleasure to work with her. She was easy to communicate with, responding quickly to all of our questions, and was always open and transparent about her process. Ellie makes taking photos playful, easy, and fun!

Having traveled to Arizona, Tennessee, Nebraska, Florida, South Carolina, California, and more, I am open and ready to travel abroad for your wedding as well!

Alexis Brianne Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was easily understandable, thorough, and very organized, which helped put our minds at ease throughout the wedding planning process. Alexis' photos and editing skills are truly amazing - there were so many beautiful pictures to choose from, it was almost overwhelming. Her attention to detail and ability to freeze special moments in time is just incredible. Before the wedding, Alexis was in constant contact with us, and on the day of, her calm presence helped reassure my wife when her anxiety started to get the best of her. When I needed to make a last-minute change, Alexis was incredibly reassuring and helped me work through it. We really appreciated the time she spent with us going over specific shots we wanted, as well as her suggestions for other unique angles and perspectives. Compared to some of our friends who paid almost 15,000 for their wedding photography, Alexis' work and value is unmatched. In fact, I even suggested she consider raising her prices (after our wedding, of course!). Overall, Alexis Brianne Photography exceeded our expectations in every way and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Rayan Anastor Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Petoskey, MI

You can usually find me out on our boat with my husband and three children exploring the Great Lakes. When I am not exploring Michigan, I am definitely traveling to explore other areas around the world. I love photographing the fleeting moments with my children as they experience life is something: A smile, a tear, the belly laugh, concentration and everything in between. This fascination is what carries over to my photography. The connection between two people who intend to spend the rest of their lives together is magical. It is expressive and full of fleeting moments that one may forget unless it is captured in a photograph.

Rayan is one of the most creative wedding photographers working today. During the leadup, she'll work closely with you to understand the nuances of your day. And when the day arrives, she'll document your sentimental moments in a thoughtful, discreet manner. My background is in art and design, and every time I look at her images, I'm so incredibly impressed by her artistic vision. But perhaps even more importantly, the photographs remind me of how special the day was and how warm and accommodating Rayan was throughout the entire experience. I can't imagine it without her.

My name is Charity Sizemore, I am soon to be Charity Miltenberger. I am a mom of one beautiful little girl. Photography has been my true passion since 2012, but I really started to expand my knowledge in 2016. My dream is to capture as many love stories as possible. I am an avid reader, with the majority of those books being romance novels, and I love getting out with my family. I have lived in Northern Michigan my entire life, and I wouldn't live anywhere else.

Working with Rustling Leaf Photography was such a great experience from start to finish. She was upfront about everything and made the whole process easy and stress-free. What really stood out to me was how she captured that perfect moment when the bald eagle flew over during our ceremony. She was fun to work with on the day and stayed out of the way while still getting all the shots we needed. I told her what I was looking for and she had no problem making it happen. Plus, she offers discounts for military and first responders, which shows she really cares about giving back. I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who listens and delivers.

Based in Traverse city Michigan but available anywhere!! Looking for couples who think outside the box for their wedding and just want to have fun and enjoy their friends and family. OF COURSE also get some epic photos along the way.

I cannot recommend Chelsea enough. We used her as our engagement and wedding photographer and I can barely put into words how much we fell in love! She is so crazy talented and artistic and she truly captured our personalities and love as a couple. Being two very camera shy and goofy individuals, Chelsea made us feel so comfortable and at peace. We laughed, we cried, we had a blast. I would highly recommend doing an adventure session before your wedding! I can stress this enough. It prepares you so much for your big day. Chelsea was also great with recommending and helping with other vendors she felt would mesh well with our style. So blessed to have her now as a friend. Can’t wait for babies and family photos!!

My photography is bright, colorful and true-to-life. I love to find the balance between the posed, elegant portraits and the candid, joyful photos of you and your partner, surrounded by your favorite people coming together to celebrate your love. I want your photos to capture authentic emotion and meaningful moments, and for the images to be timeless heirlooms that you’ll look back at fondly for years to come. I focus on the meaningful connection of the moment rather than perfect posing. Your wedding is a day full of emotion, and I want your photos to highlight those feelings.

5/5 stars for our amazing photographer! Starting from the initial contact she was professional, courteous, and helped us with every step of our photography journey. Our engagement photos were gorgeous and she helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera while also making sure we had amazing photos. She’ll help guide you in a kind way and is very accommodating! We got a preview of our wedding photos the next day which was amazing! Would definitely recommend Kristen for weddings!

People often bring me around to document the good times. Whether it be a wedding, a family gathering, a milestone, or any of the other exciting landmarks we experience in life. I couldn’t be more grateful for this. My goal in my work is to capture your story in a true and honest way. This means becoming part of your event and documenting the story from the inside out. I believe the best images come from real, authentic, unaltered moments. These moments aren’t staged or set up… they are captured.

Michael Murphy IV Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, their communication was effective, thoughtful, and intentional, with quick responses to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, Michael put us at ease as the bride and groom, as well as all of our family and guests, knowing he would beautifully capture our day with ease. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - candid, genuine, beautiful, and natural. We are thrilled with the final photos, which perfectly encapsulate the easy-going and joyful atmosphere of our special day. We highly recommend Michael Murphy IV Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.
