Lynzee Harrison Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Sanford, MI

I believe love and light are two of the closest things we have to real magic. We're so fortunate that photography utilizes both. Art, storytelling, and connection have stood the test of time throughout human history. We were designed to create, entertain, and love. I approach each wedding day like it's the most important love story that will ever be told. Because to you, it is. I approach most of the day with a photojournalistic approach. Then during portraits I'm skilled at both posing you beautifully enough to be an editorial piece and prompting you in ways to bring out cinematic romance.

Lynzee is an exceptional photographer who truly elevates every moment of your special day. If you're looking for someone with an eye for the smallest details and a passion for capturing genuine emotion, look no further. Her work is nothing short of breathtaking—our photos are timeless, romantic, and feel like they were pulled straight from a movie. Lynzee’s use of light and her skill in capturing the perfect sunset shots set her apart from any other photographer. I highly recommend adding film to your wedding package, some of our favorites are the film photos!

My husband and I hired Edgar (Anchor Studios) as our photographer for our wedding on July 7, 2024. He did an amazing job!! Since we started working with him for our engagement pictures up to the wedding and after, he has been great at communication and very professional. He went above and beyond by helping us create a timeline for our wedding because didn’t know how weddings usually go. He worked so hard on the day of our wedding to get the best shots, and was very kind and helped us a lot with organizing order of events. He had great ideas for poses and was very mindful to get all the pictures we wanted with family members and bridal party. And even better than all of this, when we got the pictures, they came out amazing!! It’s very clear that he put a lot of hard work into making them look incredible. He is a very talented and skilled photographer. We were blown away by how they turned out! We are very thankful for how hard he worked and how great he made the picture look! We highly recommend him!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace was extremely responsive and dedicated throughout the planning process, taking time to understand our vision and priorities for capturing the event. On the wedding day itself, Grace and her team went above and beyond to get creative shots, even climbing on chairs and furniture 7 months pregnant! We're so grateful we chose Oury Memories to document memories we'll treasure forever.

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

Lume Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Sanford, MI

Hi, I'm Andrea. I'm a full-time photographer based in the wild north of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I specialize in nature elopements and small, intimate weddings in the UP and throughout the state of Michigan. My biggest passion is to be able to document your love story in creative, hauntingly beautiful, timeless images for you to keep forever. And give you an experience that allows you to relax, be yourself, and savor all the moments without pressure.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew I wanted to work with Andrea immediately from viewing her work on her Instagram page. Her style was exactly what my husband and I were looking for in regards to how we wanted our wedding day documented. Every exchange and phone call with Andrea was as if I was talking to a life long friend who just happened to live 7 hours away. The first time meeting Andrea we also got to meet her assistant Shonda who was the one to shoot our wedding since Andrea was already booked for our date. We planned to view some location sites and ended up just sight seeing around the UP and having an amazing day! Andrea is so passionate about the UP and loves sharing amazing places and local stories with people she meets, we almost forgot we were looking for ceremony locations. We ended up doing a short engagement shot with Andrea which was so comfortable and relaxing and fun to do! Everything she directed us to do was natural and photographed beautifully. She always claims she’s awkward but don’t let her fool you. She will 100% get distracted by rocks, flowers, or mushrooms though, and if you have any interest in nature she is someone you should definitely work with. When our wedding weekend came around, there was some challenges with some strong winds, so the ceremony location the day before of the wedding needed to be changed. Andrea and Shonda scouted new locations for us and found the most beautiful location, it was so perfect I dare say it turned out better than the original location and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Shonda was amazing to work with the day of the wedding, her and Andrea have similar personalities and work styles it was such a pleasure to have her shoot our wedding for us. More so it was SUCH a pleasure meeting these two amazing ladies who were played such an important part in our wedding day. I cannot recommend Lume Photography and Andrea and Shonda enough. They do everything they can to make sure your wedding day is all about you and your partner and make everything so relaxed for you, that you can focus on the love you share on your day.

Hi, I'm Hannah! I am passionate about capturing love in the most authentic and candid way possible. Hannah McLane Photo is designed for the modern + chic couple! Every love story is unique and I love representing that through my work.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Hannah, we knew we were in the best hands. She is not just a photographer — she’s an artist, a calming presence, and an expert at capturing real, emotional, beautiful moments. On our wedding day, Hannah blended seamlessly into the background when needed, but also stepped in with gentle direction to make sure we looked our best and felt comfortable. She has a gift for making people relax in front of the camera, even those of us who are usually camera-shy! When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. Every photo was stunning — the lighting, the composition, the little candid in-between moments we didn’t even realize she had captured. Hannah has an eye for detail and a way of preserving not just how the day looked, but how it felt. We’ve received so many compliments on our photos, and we’ll treasure them for the rest of our lives. If you're considering Hannah for your wedding, stop thinking and just book her. She's everything you want in a photographer and more. Thank you, Hannah, for giving us the most beautiful way to remember our day — we truly couldn’t have asked for better!

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Capturing and documenting the fleeting nature & intricate details of your life and love—woven together with intention + grace into a nostalgic photo collection. I strive to tell your story and preserve your legacy with wholesome imagery you will lovingly cherish and share with future generations.

My husband and I decided to have a very intimate wedding on Mackinac Island with just immediate family. We had about 6 weeks in total of planning and my ability to find a photographer on the island was not fruitful. I actually found Kristin on a Facebook page for elopements and emailed for time to call. We had a FaceTime call within a couple days and at that time I had 2 locations we were looking into. Kristin was very understanding given that a location had not fully been secured but once we decided on the day and place (Wings of Mackinac Butterfly House) she was able to help us bring our wedding day and photo ideas into life m. She took both digital and film photos that were stunning and were just the icing on the proverbial cake (we actually got ice cream cones as our wedding dessert)! Kristin has always held fantastic communication leading up to our special day and has always gone the extra mile to assist in anything we needed. Since our wedding, she has also taken beautiful newborn and family photos for us and we cannot be happier with the outcomes! We treasure her work and friendship and we look forward to more captured memories with Kristin!
