Taylor consistently goes above and beyond to prioritize the comfort and experience of the bride and groom. One moment that stood out was when the bride began to overheat during outdoor photos. Without hesitation, Taylor offered her personal travel fan to help the bride cool down—an item she carries not out of obligation, but because she genuinely cares. This thoughtful gesture, though small, speaks volumes about her character and sets her apart from others in her field. What truly makes Taylor exceptional is her attention to the emotional dynamics of the day. At one point, a member of the bridal party appeared visibly disgruntled. Taylor subtly picked up on the tension and addressed it with such grace and discretion that it didn’t disrupt the flow of the celebration or the photo timeline. Her ability to read the room and respond with professionalism ensures the couple’s day remains smooth, joyful, and stress-free. Overall, Taylor’s thoughtful nature, attention to detail, and commitment to her clients make her an outstanding choice for any special occasion. Her pricing is more than fair for the level of care, professionalism, and quality she delivers. From the smallest moments to the biggest milestones, Taylor captures it all with heart and precision. Anyone would be beyond satisfied in trusting her to document their most meaningful memories.

Kate English Photography

  • Serves Sand Lake, MI

When asked when I first knew I wanted to be a photographer, it's hard to pinpoint a specific time, as I feel I have always had an eye for photography. From ripping up magazines, photoshoots with friends, the rise of Tumblr & Instagram, to taking a 35mm black & white film photography class in high school, going on to get my BFA in photography, and establishing my business - photography is truly in everything I do. I have been photographing weddings for over 7 years now. My work is a combination of unfiltered documentary, funky fashion editorial, and timeless fine art with a modern twist.

Kate was a dream from the moment we forst spoke to her, she is so so easy to get along with, everyone in our bridal party kept talking about how they loved her vibe and how grgest our photographers were and how much they loved them! The whole process was a dream and she was so patient through every single quedtion we had and thats just rhe beginning!! She was born to be a photographer and you can definitely tell by her work, bot only foes she know exactly what poses to have you make but she makes sure youre comfortable and having fun. We cried when we got our pictures cause it was all ART, I am still in awe whenever we see them and we are so happy to have met her. You will not regret taking any type of photographs with her!!

Liv Lyszyk Photography

HEY! I'm Liv Lyszyk Maxwell (pronounced LY-zick, blame it on my Polish and Ukrainian roots) and I am a 20-something wedding and portrait photographer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Most days you can find me designing for my other business Liv Lyszyk Prints, wearing leggings (I don't do zippers), and eating too much sushi. I spend my time fighting for equity in the interest of all marginalized groups. I am always looking for my next travel adventure whether that be to a new town on lake Michigan, or half way around the world, I want to see it all.

Choosing Liv as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions my wife and I made for our wedding day. Liv was an incredible partner in planning out what we wanted for our big day, and captured it in a way that was more stunning than I could ever imagine. Liv is so kind, inclusive, and thoughtful with their work, and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. 6 years later, Liv remains a good friend of ours, and we've even taken gorgeous boudoir photos with them! I highly recommend Liv to capture your most important moments.

Wildcrest Studio

Wildcrest Studio, established by Jessie Harris, is a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I aim to capture the magic of your wedding day and you as a unique couple through peerless, stunning photographs!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

Kaitlin Jude Photography

  • Serves Sand Lake, MI

Hey, I’m Kaitlin 👋 I’m a Michigan-based wedding photographer here for the real stuff—messy happy tears, belly laughs, and all the in-between moments you don’t even realize are happening. My vibe? Laid-back, a little cinematic, and a lot of fun. Think of me as part hype girl, part third wheel with a camera, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and totally yourself. The end result? Photos that look just as good as the day felt.

Kaitlin was absolutely the best photographer we could have asked for! We are not big photo people and definitely don’t typically feel comfortable in front of the camera. She was so accommodating and if something didn’t feel right/like us she’d pivot to something else. Her photos are absolutely stunning and really captured the essence of our day!

  • Serves Sand Lake, MI

Hey! I’m a wedding photographer based in Central Michigan, and for the past five years, I’ve been capturing love in all its joyful, emotional, beautifully real forms. My style is laid-back and documentary—I’m all about the soft looks, loud laughs, and in-between moments you’ll want to remember forever. Weddings are my favorite thing to photograph, hands down. When I’m not working, I’m probably out with my dogs, reading, or hanging with my husband (snacks included). I’d be so honored to tell your story in a way that feels like you.

When Gabbie’s taking your pictures, you don’t feel like she’s posing you. She takes the time to bring out that true smile that brings out your best side without feeling like you’re being told what to do or how to look. The photos you’ll get when you use her as a photographer will display who you are and expose the angles you never knew you would love.

Hi, I'm Rayna! I grew up on a fifth generation farm in Kansas, studied photography in the Rocky Mountains, and now I live what I like to refer to as my "Hallmark Movie Life" residing in a quaint lakeside town working as a wedding photographer. Life is good! During your wedding day, my main focus is to document moments as they come, embracing each interaction and emotion with full arms. Encouraging authentic moments- I aim to not interfere with them. Each wedding photography experience through its entire process is specially tailored to its individual client from inquiry to gallery delivery, each one unique and true to themselves.

From the very first phone call, Rayna was incredibly clear and helpful in walking us through her process and what to expect on the day of our wedding. Her communication style put us at ease and made the photography planning a breeze. When the big day arrived, Rayna's experience and expertise truly shone through - she seamlessly executed a perfect timeline and captured all the special moments we wanted without feeling intrusive. The finished product was absolutely amazing, with so many beautiful and creative photos that we'll cherish forever. Rayna made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and kept everything flowing smoothly, allowing her to get so many incredible shots in a short amount of time. We are thrilled with the value Rayna provided and couldn't recommend her highly enough!

**I will no longer be paying for this listing, if you're interested in having me photograph your wedding, head to my website to take a look at my work and inquire through my contact form.** * 16 years of creating art from your love. My goal as your photographer is to serve you from beginning to end. You deserve to have images that take you back, that help you relive your day over and over again. These moments deserve to be remembered. We're here to tell your story in the most thoughtful, authentic way possible.

I’m typically not that comfortable in front of a camera but Aliscia gives a lot of praise which helped make me feel less awkward, like I was actually doing things right. She seemed to know when I was getting in my head too much and would think of ways to make me laugh and relax like have my husband tickle me or do something very random and silly, which in turn created some of our favorite photos! She somehow is able to capture true genuine emotions of a simple moment. Now, every time I walk by our photo wall at home I can’t help but smile and be taken back to those moments and feelings. This woman has a gift and is truly amazing at what she does!

They captured the day just as we remember it and we had fun working with them! The photos they provided were amazing!

Hi, I'm Morgan! I'm so glad you are here! With a camera in my hand, I'm constantly looking to chase dreamy + golden light, capture the "in-between" moments (not just the posed), create a space where you feel comfortable and empowered in front of my lens, and ultimately build meaningful & lasting relationships with each and every one of you.

Morgan is the absolute best. She photographed our wedding recently and the entire experience was an absolute dream. Our engagement shoot was fun and upbeat and she helped us come out of our shell. On our wedding day, Morgan made sure we were happy and comfortable all day long. She was there for US. She not only photographed our wedding in the most beautiful way, but she fixed my veil, helped with my dress, kept us on time, and talked to my other vendors for me. Morgan is professional, artistic, kind, funny, and encouraging. I will recommend Morgan and her team over and over again. Thank you for EVERYTHING, Morgan. You are amazing inside and out!

** Discount available for December 2024 - April 2025 Weddings** I fell in love with wedding photography instantly, and I want you to fall in love with your wedding photos! I believe that no wedding is the same. Each couple I meet has a different story, a different vision, and a unique perspective on what their day means to them. It's my job to capture all of those beautiful moments but also the silly ones you don't remember until you're sitting on your couch with your partner looking through your photo gallery.

Megan took the time to understand our vision and made helpful suggestions to capture the most important moments of our wedding day. The photos we received so far are absolutely stunning - her attention to detail and ability to beautifully frame each shot is truly amazing. We are thrilled with the value we received and would highly recommend Megan Kathleen Photos to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Hey there!! I'm a candid & documentary style wedding photographer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where I love to go on long board rides and watch the sunset (because Michigan has the BEST sunsets, am I right?). I'm a journalistic photographer focused on capturing authentic moments + emotion. I love finding those moments that tell a story - they say that a picture is worth a thousand words, right? I've been capturing weddings for three years now + still loving every second of it. If I sound like your kind of photographer, then kick off your shoes + let's do this thing!

We could not recommend Cassidy enough. Not only are her photos absolutely incredible, she genuinely cares about capturing moments you can have forever. Cassidy is professional and makes every session fun!!! We have no idea how to pose, what to do, and Cassidy always guides us to make sure our photos look natural and flattering. With Cassidy not only will you have high quality, beautiful photos, you will also have a fun, refreshing, and enjoyable experience!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we were initially hesitant to book Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. since they were not a local company, and we didn't get to talk directly to the photographer or videographer until the day of the wedding. That being said, what sold us was their website/gallery, their professionalism when getting a quote, and that our venue vouched for them. OLAS' team's communication was responsive, quick, and thorough, putting us at ease. We had planning calls and surveys leading up the day of. Jasmine T did a stellar job setting us up to look our best, and she had her work cut out for her, because she was dealing with two brides, two dresses, and an outfit change! Jasmine was also great about following our instructions from the survey and planning meetings. For example, we had included pictures in front of a wall of donuts at the venue, but we later changed the wall of donuts to cannoli's and forgot to tell OLAS. Turns out the venue threw in the donut wall back in without telling us. Jasmine brought us to the wall, and it made for a great surprise and cute pictures. Jeremy did an amazing job on the videography and editing. Watching the highlight video made us cry because he really captured our best moments and those real smiles in the midst of the stress and hustle and bustle of the wedding day. OLAS gave us complimentary rush photos and video without us asking which was a 2-3 week was turn around. Despite our initial trepidation, we are so happy we booked OLAS. They went above and beyond to make our special day memorable for a lifetime. We are so grateful for their talent and highly recommend Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. to any couple looking for breathtaking photography and videography.
