About Sydney Marie Photography

Sydney Marie Photography

Michigan Wedding Photographer

I'm Sydney, a Michigan wedding photographer based in Grand Rapids and the owner of Sydney Marie Photography. I've been photographing weddings since 2012 and have captured over 300 celebrations across the state—including Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Holland, and everywhere in between. I started in photography in 2008 and now travel all over Michigan (and beyond) to document weddings with a timeless, true-to-life style. My approach is hands-on from start to finish, ensuring every couple feels supported and every moment is captured beautifully and professionally.

My love for wedding photography is rooted in connection, between you and your partner, your loved ones, and the moments that make your day uniquely yours. When I look back at my own wedding photos, it’s the candid joy, the quiet glances, and the celebration on the dance floor that bring me right back. That’s what I want for you. With a hands-on, personal approach from start to finish, I’m here to create timeless, true-to-life photographs that reflect the energy of your day, images that become the first treasures of your life together and that generations will look back on as the start of something beautiful.

    I had been following Sydney on Instagram for a while and reached out as soon as we were engaged. I knew she was amazing from her work, but I was blown away with her attention to detail and her attention to us. She made us feel at ease from day one, and took the time during our engagement session to make my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our images are STUNNING, I can't stop looking at them. Thank you again Sydney for everything, you made our dream day come true!

    Hiring Sydney was the best decision we ever made. I was a little nervous not meeting with her before our wedding, but Sydney reassured me and laid everything out perfectly in her questionnaire. She has an amazing eye for detail and kept us on track with our timeline. Sydney has been photographing weddings for years, and it really shows. She made us feel comfortable during both our engagement session and our wedding day. If you’re looking to book Sydney don’t even think twice, and add an engagement session!! It makes a world of difference and you feel so much more comfortable for your wedding. Thank you Sydney!!

    When I was looking for a wedding photographer, Sydney stood out against the rest of them. She is so quick to email you back, is friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of weddings. When it came to our engagement session she gave us ideas for locations and just made the whole experience so fun and easy. My husband hates his photos being taken and he enjoyed our engagement session and loved talking to Sydney's husband who was with her. When it came to our wedding day, Sydney has this awesome questionnaire that answers everything! There were questions on there I never even thought about!! She showed up early and found places for portraits and checked in on me. She's just the sweetest and made our day so special, even through the stressful parts. She was a blast at our reception dancing with everyone on the dance floor while taking photos, like I said she made the day even better. We were sitting in our hotel room the night of our wedding and I got a Facebook notification from Sydney Marie Photography, Sydney had posted 10 photos from our wedding, I couldn't believe it and it made me so happy. I can't thank Sydney enough for everything, if you're looking for a photographer do not hesitate and hire her.

  • Beautiful photos and communicates well!

    I have worked alongside Sydney multiple times at weddings around Michigan and have seen a lot of her process. I can tell you she is big on quick communication and making sure every expectation is clearly defined and communicated prior to the wedding. This is key when you're trying to plan your wedding day and make sure that everything is laid out to be not only efficient but also get you the kinds of photos she's displaying on her website. On the day of the wedding she is always calm, yet at the same time, directive, in a chill and friendly kind of way. She helps everyone relax and enjoy the day, which is a big thing considering the photographer is the person that the wedding couple is going to be around for the vast majority of the day. I know that even though she is a busy photographer, she delivers galleries pretty quickly, because she's showing me some of the galleries that I've shot with her as soon as she's finished with them. So if you're looking for someone who is going to solidly communicate with you through the whole process and then deliver your (quality) photos in a reasonable amount of time, she would be a good choice!
