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.

Especially the ones capturing the big day. It has always been very easy for me to work with Erika and her team so I recommend her every chance I get.

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.

These candid photos will live in your memories. In a time where moments are fleeting, our goal is to go beyond just a “photo”, but the story and emotion behind each frame. Documenting belly laugh, kiss and small glance is a story waiting to be told.

Bridgette is the most incredible photographer around. Not only is she insanely talented, she also brought a calmness to the whole day. She has such a great knowledge of wedding day timelines and acted as our wedding planner in helping us structure our day efficiently where we could take a lot of photos but also have so much time with each other and our guests. Our venue was not traditional and required a lot of moving around. Bridgette took it all in stride and helped direct us to stay on track! And her photos!! She captures incredible genuine images and has such great attention to detail. We look at our photos daily and love every one of them!

Lindsay Elaine Photography

  • Serves Utica, MI

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.

Lindsay is AMAZING! Seriously, stop researching and book her right now because she was an absolute dream to work with, is SO talented, and all our photos are stunning. Starting from the very beginning when we had our intro call with her, she was so kind, flexible, organized, and truly invested in documenting our love story. We used Lindsay for both our engagement and wedding photographer, and I can easily say the results of both FAR exceeded our expectations. She captured ALL of the special moments throughout the day in an authentic and beautiful manner, so now when we look back at them we feel like she captured our day perfectly. Here's all the finer details, if you are interested! 1.) Our biggest fear/challenge about hiring a photographer was working with someone who didn't make us feel comfortable or relaxed or someone who didn't know how to prompt us for posing. Lindsay was NONE of those things. She instantly made us feel so at ease from the second we met her and her prompts are so easy to follow and produced the best, most natural and authentic photos. 2.) The most helpful aspect of working with Lindsay pre-wedding was her STELLAR organization and responsiveness. Seriously, this girl is organized to a T and always responded to my (sometimes VERY lengthy) emails in a timely manner. She was always so patient with my endless questions, and even took time out of her personal life to preview our wedding photo location to pick out the best spots! How amazing is that?? 3.) Working with Lindsay the day of the wedding was perfect. She arrived to our getting ready location early to make sure she gave herself plenty of time to capture our details photos and followed the schedule perfectly the remainder of the day. She kept us on schedule when we needed it, captured all of our special moments, was prepared and organized, and followed our very detailed (and complex) family photo requests to make sure allllllll the different family combos were included. All in all, if you are looking for a kind, genuine, authentic, organized, talented, and professional photographer.....Lindsay is your girl. We could not be any happier with our experience working with her and the STUNNING engagement and wedding photos she produces. Lindsay honestly feels like she's become our friend and I'm honestly sad that our time working with her for our wedding has come to an end, but we plan on recommending her to everyone and anyone so hopefully our paths will cross again in the future! We love you Lindsay 3

I’m Jenna. I take photos the way memories feel — honest, a little messy, completely yours. Based in Utah and California, but always down to follow love wherever it leads. I’m not here to direct a show or stage your connection. I’m just here with a camera and an eye for the quiet, fleeting things you’ll miss until you see them again — framed, printed, passed down. This isn’t about picture-perfect. This is about what’s real. Let’s document your story the way it actually felt.

From the moment we first spoke with Jenna Roden, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Her communication style was fluid, warm, and professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of Jenna's work was truly great - she has an exceptional eye for detail and a talent for capturing all the special moments in a charming and problem-solving way. Jenna gave us invaluable feedback on posing and seamlessly handled an unexpected challenge on the day, ensuring our photos turned out beautifully. We are thrilled with the memories she was able to preserve for us, and we highly recommend Jenna Roden to any couple planning their wedding.

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

Kay was referred to me by two different brides. I had seen their wedding pictures posted and reached out immediately. The turnaround time for receiving our photos took TWO WEEKS. I know brides that didn’t get their photos back for months. It was so special to be able to see them so quickly after our wedding. Especially considering the exceptional quality and attention to detail in each image. The final edits were flawless, and the photographer managed to enhance the natural beauty. I got every single photo I had put on my shot-list. But what stood out most was when we noticed that we didn’t get a picture of my parents alone and I asked her if we ever took one. She offered to photoshop a picture of them together and the final result was unbelievable. You would have never known they were not standing next to each other. My parents could not be happier with it. I wholeheartedly recommend Kay to anyone in need of capturing their special day. Their talent, professionalism, and commitment to delivering outstanding results make them a top choice. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Pixie Light has always been our go to for all of our photography needs. Laura and Charna are passionate, professional, creative, and always collaborate with you to ensure you are happy with your experience. It was the easiest decision to have them plan our Itty Bitty Pixie Wedding. Both of us have been married before, but we still wanted a short ceremony that felt genuine and special (but not over the top). Pixie Light took care of everything! We had an initial meeting to discuss plan options, expectations, and how we can still execute a micro-wedding safely during the pandemic. Laura was so patient as we discussed a multitude of location ideas and ultimately helped us choose the best one for us. They coordinated the cake (it was incredibly delicious!!) and officiant for us, which was a huge weight off my shoulders. Our ceremony was written and personalized for us, reflecting both of our interests equally, and had us laughing and smiling for weeks afterward. My husband's vows were based on the Green Lantern oath, which I loved. That doesn't even cover the beautiful photography. Between two photographers, they were able to capture all of the candid, little moments. They even accommodated some individual pictures for my mom's 65th birthday. I couldn't be happier with the pictures- Pixie Light is amazing when it comes to photographic perspective and color contrast. The sunset shots they got are my absolute favorite. I can't recommend them enough. You'll have the event of a lifetime with Pixie Light.

Howdy! I’m Aubriana, a photographer passionate about capturing life and love in their most genuine moments. My journey with photography began over a decade ago in high school and has since grown into a heartfelt career. Inspired by my time in Iowa and the beauty of Milkweed fields, my business name reflects my love for fleeting, magical moments—just like the Monarch butterflies that migrate each year. I believe every love story is unique and deserves to be documented with care, warmth, and authenticity. I’d be honored to capture yours!

So easy to work with and professional! My labor went very quickly so photos were in the immediate postpartum. I love how each detail was captured so intimately to tell the story, so I can look back on those moments. She respected the environment and helped in any way to make sure I felt cared for-above and beyond being a photographer. We also did some newborn/family photos a few days later and she was very patient with my full of energy toddler, all while capturing the sweet details of our newborn. All of the photos are beautiful!! When I asked for a few edits to the gallery it was done and updated for me quickly.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

(Something I learned from my Papa) That means not only giving them a fair price & best photos I can deliver, but also helping them in anyway I can before and after their session or event. “What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”-Karl LagerfeldA

LAs Photography has captured all of our big milestones. From engagement, to wedding and now even our growing family. Lori and her team are fantastic! Super easy to work with, great at capturing the moment, and overall super kind and friendly.

I love this job of mine. When you book me, you can be assured that I will operate before, during & after the wedding with your best interests at heart. My #1 goal is always to create a space that allows you (and your loved ones) to be your best, most comfortable selves & to depict your wedding day through your final photo gallery in the most authentic way as you remember it unfolding. My motto is "the friend who takes photos." You deserve a photographer who shows up for you on your wedding day who is not only a professional, but also feels like a trusted friend to support, celebrate and create a safe (& fun) space for you on your wedding day.

We are so lucky to have had Gretchen as our wedding photographer!! She is so so talented and beyond a joy to work with. I cannot recommend Gretchen enough. She is incredibly organized and captured our day so beautifully. Her warmth and creativity are unparalleled. My husband and I had our engagement and wedding photos done by Gretchen and we adore them. Her style and energy is so fun. She was thoughtful in our ceremony and reception moments, bridal party and family shots, and captured so many intimate moments we will cherish forever. There are so many "in-the-moment"/documentary style photos Gretchen took that we adore. Not only did my husband and I love Gretchen, but our family and friends were blown away by her talent and attention to detail. She made our loved ones feel like VIPs and captured their love and energy so perfectly. She gave us such peace through the wedding journey with her confidence and vision. She helped map out our general timeline of the day, shots, etc. Gretchen did an amazing job capturing all of our guests. I cannot wait to work with Gretchen again in the future for more life event fun!!!

Hi guys! My name is Samantha and I’m a wedding photographer based in Toledo, OH. I love to capture everything with weddings from the details, the main events, and everything in between. I strive for a documentary/romantic style. My goal is to help you prepare you so you can feel comfy and enjoy the moments, whether it’s for your engagement session or wedding day. When booking with me, you’ll have access to my wedding handbook, guides, and a personalized timeline to help prepare you for a stress free day. No matter which package you’ll get plenty of amazing photos to remember your day :)

Sam Ann Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. She is an excellent communicator and extremely organized, which helped make the day go so smoothly. The quality of her work is truly exceptional - she listened to our ideas and offered great suggestions that resulted in photos we will cherish forever. Sam did a wonderful job of not just capturing our special moments, but also the fun and joy of our guests throughout the celebration. Looking back on the photos, it's easy to remember the entire day, not just pieces of it. We have since used Sam Ann Photography for our maternity and family photos, and they are equally fantastic at those as well. We have found our photographer for life and cannot recommend them highly enough.
