M and M. Terry Photography LLC

Portage, MI
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,200

A documentary, candid, creative wedding photography team offering film & digital photo packages ranging from 8-12 hours. Our editing style is natural with a touch of mood. We love capturing images that make you feel something!

It feels like every choice of wedding vendor is an important one but the argument that photography is the most important is valid - not only do you spend your the majority of your wedding day alongside your photographers, but you also rely on their work to re-live your big day for the rest of your life. We could not have chosen better people or artists to work with for our wedding than Michelle and Michael Terry and we are absolutely thrilled with the choice we made!! From the moment we encountered their work online we were drawn to their style which is a wonderful mix of posed romantic elegance and docurealistic candids. The strength of their love for each other shines through in the images they capture for other couples and families so strongly. Then, after meeting with Michelle to go over pricing and packages we immediately fell in love with her midwest kindness and genuine personality. We planned our Chicago wedding from out of state where we live, and the Terrys had never photographed at our venue the Stan Mansion before - however, we trusted the good reviews and booked them to travel from MI for our big weekend. Incredible call by us! Michelle and Michael covered our welcome party as well as 10 hours of our wedding day and upon meeting them it was like more of our friends or cousins had just arrived. A remarkable team, they had the very best non-chaotic energy and posed and encouraged us without being cheesy or “fake.” Between Michael’s funny prompts and Michelle’s kind gaze behind her lens we, our families, and our wedding party felt like a million bucks. They collaborated seamlessly with our other vendors they had never worked with before and everyone asked us - where did you find them?! Their coverage of our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was ever-present yet unobstrisuve and their smiling faces inspired confidence all night. And we know this confidence was well-founded because we recieved an ENORMOUS sneak peek gallery of photos we love before we even left for our honeymoon days later! Michelle and Michael - thank you for feeling the love in the room on our favorite day in history, adding to it, and capturing it so well. We can’t wait to have you photograph our family for years to come - what an incredible joy! Book them - you will not regret it!

Lindsay Elaine Photography

Portage, MI
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $7,500

I'm so glad you're here! My name is Lindsay, and I was put on this earth to capture all the special, in-between moments that tell your story. When I’m not trying out a new recipe, kidnapping a puppy to love on, or packing my bags for my next adventure, I’m spending time with couples telling their story in the most authentic way possible. If you’re not afraid of some PDA, or getting a bit dirty just to grab the perfect shot, then we’re probably the perfect match.

Lindsay is AMAZING! Seriously, stop researching and book her right now because she was an absolute dream to work with, is SO talented, and all our photos are stunning. Starting from the very beginning when we had our intro call with her, she was so kind, flexible, organized, and truly invested in documenting our love story. We used Lindsay for both our engagement and wedding photographer, and I can easily say the results of both FAR exceeded our expectations. She captured ALL of the special moments throughout the day in an authentic and beautiful manner, so now when we look back at them we feel like she captured our day perfectly. Here's all the finer details, if you are interested! 1.) Our biggest fear/challenge about hiring a photographer was working with someone who didn't make us feel comfortable or relaxed or someone who didn't know how to prompt us for posing. Lindsay was NONE of those things. She instantly made us feel so at ease from the second we met her and her prompts are so easy to follow and produced the best, most natural and authentic photos. 2.) The most helpful aspect of working with Lindsay pre-wedding was her STELLAR organization and responsiveness. Seriously, this girl is organized to a T and always responded to my (sometimes VERY lengthy) emails in a timely manner. She was always so patient with my endless questions, and even took time out of her personal life to preview our wedding photo location to pick out the best spots! How amazing is that?? 3.) Working with Lindsay the day of the wedding was perfect. She arrived to our getting ready location early to make sure she gave herself plenty of time to capture our details photos and followed the schedule perfectly the remainder of the day. She kept us on schedule when we needed it, captured all of our special moments, was prepared and organized, and followed our very detailed (and complex) family photo requests to make sure allllllll the different family combos were included. All in all, if you are looking for a kind, genuine, authentic, organized, talented, and professional photographer.....Lindsay is your girl. We could not be any happier with our experience working with her and the STUNNING engagement and wedding photos she produces. Lindsay honestly feels like she's become our friend and I'm honestly sad that our time working with her for our wedding has come to an end, but we plan on recommending her to everyone and anyone so hopefully our paths will cross again in the future! We love you Lindsay 3

Having our wedding at Bay Pointe was to put it simply: perfection. We booked our wedding over a year in advance and from the first few seconds that we stepped in for our tour of the venue, we were in love. Mariesa, our sales manager, was so personable and so accommodating. The entire process leading up to the wedding was so efficient working with Madison. She was so communicative and so easy to work with. All of our changes, questions, recommendations, literally everything - she had an answer to! We always felt so welcomed by the entire staff. Our rehearsal dinner at the Bay Pointe Bar and Grill was beautiful and the staff that night were amazing - they made sure we were doing ok, our family was fed and everyone was having a good time. Lauren, our day of coordinator was excellent at her job. She worked so well with all of our vendors and family. We had the BEST time ever. The value is worth the money you spend. A huge thank you to everyone on the Bay Pointe team who helped us along the way and the weekend of.

I’m Brittany, a laid-back, candid and colorful photographer in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I love working with ALL couples, but especially have a soft spot for non-traditional weddings. My gays, weirdos, ADHDers, D&D players- I'm your girl. Let's connect over our shared passions or fandoms- I'm a lover of all things spooky, Halloween, books, cats, oat milk lattes, Star Wars, and continuing education courses.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot more highly recommend Brittany and her team! I first worked with her when my friends and I hired her to for a surprise photo shoot for a friend's bachelorette. We had the best time walking around Three Oaks, MI, taking photos in front of cute buildings and murals, in a public community garden, on the steps of our rental house with a giant Batman balloon, and more. Brittany had tunes playing the whole time to keep an upbeat tone, and the photos were ones that captured the joy and meaning of lifelong friendships. My experience with her was so positive that when it was then time to find a photographer for my own wedding, she was my top choice. I was delighted to find out that even though she's based in Western, MI, she also does weddings in Chicagoland. We shared with her that our top priorities were taking pictures with our families, taking pictures as a couple in a way where we could just kind of walk around and interact with the environment and see what inspires us, and capturing the ceremony and reception. Brittany and her second photographer Liv more than delivered on our requests. Our photo shoot with our families was incredibly fun! We walked to a nearby park, got our pre-planned pictures, and then were able to get some really precious candid pictures of my nephew, brother, and his wife going down the playground slide. We also got some incredibly cute pictures of my baby niece, sister, and brother-in-law. I'm not including the family pics here since they're pics with kids, but just know that they are amazing! Brittany and Liv did such a good job making funny noises to get our niece and nephew to laugh, and as a result, put the rest of us at ease as well. Taking pictures as a couple was also really fun! I am not someone who naturally feels comfortable getting my photo taken, but I just had the best time! They made it a laid-back, and creative experience, where we could all kind of have ideas and try them out. At one point I was like "I like this lamp post, can we get a picture with it?" and they were like "yes!" My husband was also having a lot of pre-wedding jitters, and Liv was somehow magically able to put him at ease. A thing I didn't really think about before the wedding is that taking couples pictures is some of the only "alone" time you get on your wedding day. Brittany and Liv made this time really special, bringing positive energy, affirmation, and creativity, while creating space for us to treasure our time together as a couple. Finally, they did an incredible job capturing the ceremony and reception. I can't even really put into words what they managed to do. They captured the small details- the facial expressions, the moments where everyone's laughing because of an intentional joke or an unintentional but charming mess up. They captured us as a couple, but also the community we were lucky enough to gather around us. There's something intangible about the magic you create at a wedding, that they somehow bottled it up and got it into these photos, which we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

Working with Felt was a dream! It was so easy to plan a picturesque wedding there because the house and the grounds are gorgeous as-is. From unique details like walking paths to the lake and a piano for us to enjoy in the house, to the convenience and fun of having the ceremony, cocktail hour, photo shoots, and reception all at different beautiful spots right onsite, Felt was the perfect combination of relaxed and elegant and it made for an absolutely perfect and stress-free day.
