Arrae Photography

  • Serves Big Rapids, MI

My name is Amanda Montgomery and I am Arrae Photography based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The name Arrae (pronounced [uh-rey]) came from my first initial and my middle name, Rae, added an extra r and made a new word. I wanted something unique that was also me, the idea came to mind one day and it just fit. Being a photographer is all I've ever wanted to do with my life. When I was 12 I saved up my babysitting money to buy my first 'big time' camera. I formed Arrae Photography in 2003 as a part-time venture while I worked at local photo labs, went full time in 2008.

Amanda and her partner did an AMAZING job capturing our August 2024 wedding. My husband and I were blown away when we saw our gallery. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Arrae Photography to any couple.

  • Serves Big Rapids, MI

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

We hired Elle & Co for our engagement photos and left our session feeling like we were in the hands of pros which helped us feel confident going into our wedding day. Dani and Jed are very professional but are also laid back and fun to be around. They not only went above and beyond on our wedding on our wedding day by running around everywhere and grabbing things for us and setting up photo ops and being ready at every turn but the photos are beyond what we wanted. 100/10 recommend!

  • Serves Big Rapids, MI

A documentary, candid, creative wedding photography team offering film & digital photo packages ranging from 8-12 hours. Our editing style is natural with a touch of mood. We love capturing images that make you feel something!

It feels like every choice of wedding vendor is an important one but the argument that photography is the most important is valid - not only do you spend your the majority of your wedding day alongside your photographers, but you also rely on their work to re-live your big day for the rest of your life. We could not have chosen better people or artists to work with for our wedding than Michelle and Michael Terry and we are absolutely thrilled with the choice we made!! From the moment we encountered their work online we were drawn to their style which is a wonderful mix of posed romantic elegance and docurealistic candids. The strength of their love for each other shines through in the images they capture for other couples and families so strongly. Then, after meeting with Michelle to go over pricing and packages we immediately fell in love with her midwest kindness and genuine personality. We planned our Chicago wedding from out of state where we live, and the Terrys had never photographed at our venue the Stan Mansion before - however, we trusted the good reviews and booked them to travel from MI for our big weekend. Incredible call by us! Michelle and Michael covered our welcome party as well as 10 hours of our wedding day and upon meeting them it was like more of our friends or cousins had just arrived. A remarkable team, they had the very best non-chaotic energy and posed and encouraged us without being cheesy or “fake.” Between Michael’s funny prompts and Michelle’s kind gaze behind her lens we, our families, and our wedding party felt like a million bucks. They collaborated seamlessly with our other vendors they had never worked with before and everyone asked us - where did you find them?! Their coverage of our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was ever-present yet unobstrisuve and their smiling faces inspired confidence all night. And we know this confidence was well-founded because we recieved an ENORMOUS sneak peek gallery of photos we love before we even left for our honeymoon days later! Michelle and Michael - thank you for feeling the love in the room on our favorite day in history, adding to it, and capturing it so well. We can’t wait to have you photograph our family for years to come - what an incredible joy! Book them - you will not regret it!

I'm a love storyteller from Grand Rapids, Michigan. I primarily photograph weddings and engagements in and around the Midwest as well as destination weddings. I aim to tell love stories as honestly, candidly and uniquely as possible and I hope those attributes come across in my imagery. I firmly believe Love is Love and that everyone deserves beautiful images. I promise I will go above and beyond for you and be genuinely invested in your photographs far beyond just taking pictures. I've told hundreds of love stories and I hope to tell yours one day.

Awarded Best of Zola
It is really hard for me to put into words just how amazing Katie and her husband Matt are. We found them through our friends who used them for their wedding. We knew we wanted to do a destination wedding, and our friends had attended one the year before in Jamaica which Katie and Matt photographed. Because of that wedding, they chose them to be their photographer for their wedding in Michigan. After we saw the photos from the destination wedding and our friend's engagement photos we knew they would be perfect for us. After we saw our friend's wedding photos we knew made the right choice. Katie and Matt from the beginning were super helpful and were incredibly integral on our wedding weekend and day. When they arrived in Mexico, they met up with us and started to work immediately. They came to our rehearsal helping us decide where to put our camera for filming the ceremony and other helpful advice for the day of. They helped find the PERFECT first look location. On the day of the wedding, Katie and Matt were energetic and came ready to help put us to ease. Katie and Matt just have a way of making you feel at ease and then make you look like models. They did a great combination of classic portraits but a lot of candid photos mixed in (which were my favorites). They stayed through the our whole reception and the photos we got look out of a bridal magazine. We had a secondary shoot the day after as a Trash the Dress photo shoot, and the sunset photos we got look like post cards. The only down side of using Katie and Matt is that they gave us too many photos we want to print and get framed! Book them for your destination wedding (or Michigan wedding) and you will absolutely be making the best decision!

I LOVE, LOVE. IT’S QUITE SIMPLE REALLY. THE BEST MOMENTS ARE UNPREDICTED, CANDID AND RAW. WHEN LAUGHTER IS SO STRONG THAT YOUR BELLY ACHES, OR WORDS ARE SO SWEET THAT TEARS ARE MADE.. CREATING MAGIC WITH HUMANS WHO SEE LOVE AND LIGHT AS POWERFULLY AS I DO… THAT’S WHAT I LIVE FOR.

Honestly I'm gonna cry while typing this, I stumbled into Lexi on a whim. She is hands down the best thing to happen to me. From one photographer to another- she reminds me of HOME! She had done a potential engagement shoot and now a Christmas shoot of my little one and myself. Every single time, she makes me feel so confident, so loved, and so comfortable. She is the best thing I swear! Not only did I create a forever friendship with her, I would recommend her to the stranger on the street because she's THAT good. For someone who prefers to be behind the camera, she made being in front of the camera just as easy and careless. I literally love her. (for context- I've only known her for less than a year, so I'm not just hyping up a normal friend). BOOK HER. I swear.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

From the moment we booked Prest1ge Photography for our wedding, their communication was amazing and timely. On the day of our wedding, they kept us on our timeline and even helped the groomsmen with their ties, showing their attention to detail. The quality of their work was flawless - the photos were absolutely beautiful and creatively captured all the special moments of our day. We couldn't be happier with the value Prest1ge Photography provided and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

As a Media Company, 505 Media Co always tries to capture genuine emotions. When we capture a wedding. We have the unique opportunity to freeze that moment in time. This is a priceless treasure a couple can cherish for the rest of their lives.

We took a chance booking with 505 media with us living in Pittsburgh, having the wedding in texas, and them traveling from florida but wow did it pay off!! Our experience with 505 was absolutely amazing! They were personable, helped stick to the schedule during the craziness of the day, and captured such special moments. My husband hates photos of himself and even he is impressed with how they all turned out! They have amazing communication throughout the whole experience and our turn around time to get our photos back was so quick! I could not recommend 505 media more!! You will love them!

Taylor M Zinn Photography

Hi, I’m Taylor Zinn! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in Harrison, Michigan, a cozy little town right in the heart of the mitten. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up the chaos and joy of life with my husband of 12 years and our two kiddos (ages 4 and 10). I live for salty ocean air, hot tea, and the dream of one day finishing my very ambitious book collection. Around here, The Office reruns are a staple (as soon as Bluey wraps up, of course). Let’s make some magic together.

If you’re looking for a photographer, please consider using Taylor. My husband and I were so lucky to find her for our engagement photos and wedding. Our photos turned out amazing! We will definitely be using her for all our special moments we want photographed!
