Hi, I'm Abby Bontrager! Congratulations on your engagement! I have been doing bridal makeup for over 16 years in Portage, MI and I own The Beauty Lounge By Abby! I absolutely love making a bride and her party feel special, beautiful and confident on her wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Abby at a vendor event and never looked back! She styled me months before my wedding to get me to my hair goals!! From the first time in her chair I felt as if we’d known each other for years. We talked nonstop and I felt so comfortable! I trusted her judgement and expertise. Abby styled my bridal party for my wedding and knocked it out of the park. We loved the airbrush and that stuff didn’t move for me all night long after sweating my booty off! She is stunning and her work is too️

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.

I would give her more stars if it was possible! Lindsay was absolutely AMAZING and a key part of our wedding. Getting married in the middle of covid was not easy, as we planned and replanned our wedding Lindsay took in all the changes and created a timeline that allowed us to take all the pictures we wanted and get back with plenty of time for the ceremony. She clearly knows what she is doing and gave us more beautiful photos than we could have thought of. Even from the beginning she made sure she knew us before we met and took time to ask the right questions to capture everything we didn't even know we wanted. On the day, she was always there to help hold my dress, fix my hair, and talk with my husband and I when we needed a break from the night. We can easily say that we felt like good friends at the end of the day. Her faith is inspiring and she shows great passion for her work. I have already recommended her to friends who are getting married and trust me when I say you always say yes when she asks you to take sunset photos.

Creative Lens & Design | Cinematic Wedding Films & Photography Based in the heart of Southwest Michigan, we serve couples from Kalamazoo and Portage to the Lake Michigan coast and beyond. We are a hybrid studio focused on Cinematic Storytelling and Documentary-style authenticity. Whether it’s a sunset ceremony in St. Joseph or a high-energy reception in Grand Rapids, our goal is to deliver a narrative film that feels as real twenty years from now as it does today. No cheesy clichés—just your story, beautifully preserved.

My wedding at the Hayloft Theatre was a magical day, but Ken of Creative Lens & Design added a new dimension to it by capturing images with a drone. I was happy to step back into my wedding dress so that its beauty could be appreciated from an aerial view, but the video Ken was able to create with the drone was more than I could have dreamed of. The rich, vibrant colors of the red barn, the blazing orange leaves on the trees, and the various shades of blue flowers in the bouquet against my flowing ivory gown shimmered in the bronze glow of the autumn sun as it prepared to slip beneath the horizon. The video created by the drone footage added a beautiful chapter to my wedding story!

My fiancé, Rica, and I didn’t originally plan on having our wedding and reception at Bay Pointe. We hadn’t looked at any place that far away, 1 hour from home. Two weeks before the wedding our original venue had a fire and we had to scramble to find a new location. Mariesa Colavincenzo, the Catering Sales Manager at Bay Pointe, came to our rescue. With her and her staffs’ help we were able to pull off a miracle and have a beautiful wedding using part of the restaurant and the deck, looking out on the lake… a perfect backdrop for our vows and the reception. Everyone remarked about how beautiful the setting was and also how wonderful the food was. We had 2 appetizers and a 3-entry buffet that was absolutely delicious! Rica and I thank Mariesa and everyone at Bay Pointe for making our wedding a wonderful reality when it seemed it might not happen at all. -Dr. Mark Crapo
