Riki was the best wedding photographer we could have ever wished for. Starting with our initial outreach, we knew she was incredible and that her energy and style were exactly the fit for us. Riki has an incredible joy that brings out the best in everyone around her, and she’s able to capture that same joy and energy in her photography beautifully. We had some less common photos as our wedding was at a racetrack, and she embraced this full on and brought a wonderful creative spirit. Riki strikes an incredible balance of keeping an eye out for the small moments that matter while demonstrating her professionalism and experience by coordinating the bigger picture. As we did not have a dedicated wedding planner, her checklists and questions leading up to the event set her up for success and ensured I was thinking of the important details to plan for the overall day, too. On the day of our wedding, she was on top of everything from the moment she arrived at the venue to the last photos of the evening. We really could not have wished for a better person to help us ensure the memories from our day stay with us forever. We cannot say enough good things about her, and our guests all agreed!

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.

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!

We got married at the Blue Dress Barn this summer and our entire wedding day was like a fairytale--we still can't get over how beautiful everything was. The greenery and grounds of the BDB are unmatched and our guests couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful everything was. Amelia is helpful and easy to work with and Georgia is lovely as well. The barn staff left the florals up on the arch and in the barn from the night before, which was such an incredible surprise because they were so gorgeous. The getting ready areas for the bridesmaids and groomsmen had so many beautiful & intentional details that made it so special for us. The venue is also well known by other vendors in the area as well since it's been around for so long (23 years!), and so working with our catering staff (Classic Catering), photography (Spencer Penfield) and DJ (DJ Jennefa) was a breeze. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a single thing. We feel so grateful we were able to spend our favorite day with all of our friends and family at this beautiful venue!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding in November 2025 using Classic Catering & Events for dinner, desserts, and our wedding cake, as well as having their sister company Once Upon a Bloom for our florist. Heather covered both areas stunningly well. For dinner we did the chopped steak, grilled chicken, green beans, salad, and Mac and cheese all in buffet style. Everything came out great, cooked to perfection. The chopped steak was especially tasty and a favorite with both me (the bride) and guests! And the fact that it came with a water, lemonade, and sweet tea stand was so nice for our guests who didn’t drink alcohol or for those who did drink, and needed to stay hydrated. For dessert we did an arrangement of small goodies including the cake shooters, and it also came out amazing. The cake shooters were my favorite of all the desserts, we even got to pick a variety of different cake flavors! And CC&E arranged everything to be picture perfect on the tables, bringing their own food stands which was a huge help to me. The cake was a simple but elegant two tier chocolate cake with white frosting. It also came out tasting great. It was affordable, which I appreciated, allowing us the ability to choose the traditional tiered cake over boring sheet cake but remain within our budget. With the floral arrangements, Heather went above and beyond. As a bride who knows very little about flowers, I did not give Heather much to go on when creating our bouquets and floral arrangements. And yet she took the pictures of me and my bridesmaids’ dresses, the wedding colors and themes, and the wedding Pinterest I had made, and was able to create incredible bouquets and arrangements, while also being aware of our budget! I was speechless seeing the bouquets and got so many compliments. The most impressive thing about this is the fact that Heather did all this work while only being able to email with me due to the fact that I live in a different state than AL and travel for work quite often. Even with an 8 hour time difference (for a month leading up to the wedding due to my work trip) her communication with me was effective and timely. Heather’s dedication and expertise is one reason why my wedding was so stress free! I highly, highly recommend Heather’s two companies Classic Catering & Events and Once Upon a Bloom to any bride in the Alabama area.

Amplified Events Michigan was a fantastic partner for a wedding I helped coordinate. They were thorough, easy to work with, and highly professional throughout the planning process and wedding day. The quality of their work was outstanding - they have their own top-notch setup and were incredibly attentive to all the details and timeline. They even allowed the groom to guest DJ for a set, which was a huge hit! AEM kept guests engaged and informed all night long, and were a great partner to us coordinators. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a reliable, high-quality wedding DJ service in southwest Michigan.

My new husband and I were thrilled with our experience at Ivy House Venue! Our coordinator Chloe was absolutely amazing and was there every step of the way keeping us on track. The getting ready suites, venue, and reception spaces were beautiful. Chloe made sure we had food, drink, and ample time to get ready and take photos. She contributed so much to making our wedding day perfect - she made sure everything flowed smoothly so we could relax and enjoy our special moments. I would highly recommend Ivy House to any engaged couple. Chloe and the entire team provide excellent communication and ensure all details are covered so you can have the wedding of your dreams!
