I’ve been capturing weddings for over 20 years, and I still find myself falling in love with the magic of every single one. I actually started my journey at just 18 years old, and 600+ weddings later, my passion for storytelling has only grown. To me, wedding photography isn't just about the 'big' moments; it's about the love, the smiles, and the laughs that weave together to tell your unique story. My goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease so that your true personalities shine through in every frame.

Moments Captured By Vanessa was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Vanessa is friendly, prompt, and completely professional. Her communication throughout the planning process was excellent, and she made sure we were comfortable and confident every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, which happened to be one of the coldest days of December, Vanessa didn't miss a beat- capturing beautiful, heartfelt, and creative images that we will hold on to forever. The final photos were truly timeless and classic. We are also so grateful to have such gorgeous shots of our reception, including some stunning photos featuring Christmas lights in the background (which can't be accomplished by every photographer l!). Vanessa's talent, hard work, and passion for her craft were evident in every single image. We couldn't be happier with the service and value we received from Moments Captured By Vanessa.

Something Borrowed Blooms is the premier rent-and-return floral and décor company in the U.S., offering beautifully curated premium silk floral collections. Couples who choose to rent typically save up to 70% compared to the cost of traditional fresh flowers. Our collections include everything you need for your wedding day, from bridal and bridesmaid bouquets to boutonnieres, garlands, centerpieces, aisle markers, cake flowers, swags, flower combs and crowns, wedding décor, and more. Each design is thoughtfully curated to create a cohesive, elevated look from ceremony to reception.

Awarded Best of Zola
Something Borrowed Blooms provided the florals for our wedding and their service was expert, clear, and concise, though lacked any personal touch. The quality of their work was great - the florals looked beautiful, especially from a distance, and they were competitively priced. However, their shipping turnaround time was awful, with the flowers due back just 2 days after the wedding. This is more of a business than a vendor, so don't expect a lot of personalized care. While I ordered more florals than I ended up needing, it was worth it to have the full, lush look I was going for on our special day.

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

I ordered the "peaches and cream" small package. We decided to skip on ceremony florals, and only have handhelds and bud vases at the reception. We did buy a few more flowers from the grocery to add more peach once the flowers arrived. We made and medium sized bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 corsages, and 7 bouts. (With lots of flowers left over). My bridesmaids and I did the arranging the morning before the wedding; it was fun, and a great start to the weekend. None of us had experience, but it all turned out great! If you or your bridal party are mildly crafty, I'd highly recommend it!

Erin and the entire OLAS team were an absolute dream from start to finish. From our very first phone call to receiving the final gallery, everyone was kind, professional, and so helpful. Erin was a calming, joyful presence all day long – giving gentle direction exactly when we needed it and somehow making us feel like total naturals in front of the camera. Every single photo is breathtaking. She captured the giggles, the happy tears, the little glances – every moment that made the day feel like pure magic. Steve and I keep saying we’ve never smiled so much in our lives, and now we get to relive it forever because Erin caught our love so perfectly. If you’re getting married: book OLAS. 10/10.

I'm Lauren, a Michigan wedding photographer based in Grand Rapids, documenting weddings and elopements with a candid, documentary approach & an editorial eye. I believe your wedding should feel like a wedding. You deserve to be present for the people, emotions, laughter and little moments happening around you, while trusting that they're being documented beautifully. I'll guide you when you need it, step back when you don't & help create an experience that feels comfortable & natural from beginning to end. The result is a gallery full of intentional images that don't just show what your day looked like - they bring you back to how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first moment we connected with Lauren at the Wedding Expo at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, we knew we were placing the photographing of the biggest day of our lives in the most-capable hands. Her professionalism, warmth, and incredible eye for detail completely blew us away right from the start. What she delivered wasn't just a set of photos, it was a breathtaking, emotional time capsule of our engagement shoot and wedding day that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. There’s something truly special about a vendor who becomes more than just a part of your wedding team - someone who feels like a trusted friend. From the moment my wife and I connected with Lauren, we knew we had found someone exceptional. Throughout the entire journey leading up to our big day, Lauren was a steady, joyful, and deeply supportive presence. We first worked with her offically during our engagement shoot, and to say we were blown away would be an understatement. The photos were stunning! So beautifully composed, natural, and authentically us. That experience only amplified our excitement for what she would capture on our wedding day. Lauren’s turnaround time is nothing short of incredible. Despite her demanding schedule (a testament to how in-demand and talented she is), she delivered our photos with unbelievable speed and care. We’re still in awe of how quickly we were able to relive the magic of our day through her lens. Her prep work leading up to the wedding was flawless. Working seamlessly alongside our Day-Of Coordinator, Lauren helped us map out a photography timeline that not only made the day run smoothly but also allowed us to be fully present. Thanks to her thoughtful planning and attention to detail, our First Look and post-ceremony portraits unfolded effortlessly - a massive weight lifted off our shoulders. And then came the photos. Every single one radiates with emotion, artistry, and intention. Lauren didn’t just document our wedding, she told our story in the most breathtaking way. Her talent behind the camera is undeniable, but it’s her warmth, intuition, and joy that truly set her apart. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only at the top of their craft but also brings a glowing, calming, and genuine energy to your wedding day, look no further than Lauren. We feel endlessly lucky to have had her by our side - and now in our hearts.
