I’m not typical photog- I don’t just arrive on your day, leave after few hours, and deliver few months later! I’m there for all the moments leading to the big day! You can hit me up any time- we can brainstorm all the ideas, timelines, all the tiniest details! I am a fan of Pinterest vision boards, sending each other tons of messages and be open about EVERYTHING! This is your day! Let’s make it all about YOU!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I tell you that my friends and family all commented on how breath taking our photos were, I am not exaggerating! My (now) husband and I had the best experience working with Connie. From our initial conversations, I knew she was the right photographer for us. She is super warm, creative, professional, and responsive. I let her know my vision and brainstormed ideas, and the end product was truly remarkable. My husband and I were both nervous that we would be awkward and stiff but Connie guided us through all the poses and we truly had so much fun. I highly recommend Latek Photography to any brides to be!

Cheleana has a piece of my heart, actually. She is so much fun to work with. We booked her for our wedding and she was so warm and welcoming from the very beginning, by the time we’d finally met up for our engagement shoot I’d felt like I’d known her forever. She had us laughing and comfortable the entire time, took the time to really get to know us, handcrafted a playlist based on our music tastes, and just genuinely put her whole heart into it. She was there for us every step of the way, too. She helped us find our DJ, checked in often, and offered to help with anything she could. I never once felt bad for asking her for help - she feels just like a friend to me. On our wedding day, she helped keep everything moving slowly, was always down to try any creative ideas we had for photos, and hyped us up all. Day. Long. Our photos came out so beautifully- so dreamy and whimsical, and perfectly captured our energy. They are truly, everything and more. Working with Cheleana far exceeded our expectations. She is an absolute treasure and I adore her. Will absolutely be booking her for any photography needs I have in the future.

Love Knot Photography

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Alpena, MI

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

  • Serves Alpena, MI

Hey there, I’m Lauren! I’m a wedding and boudoir photographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I believe your photos should feel like you—natural, honest, and full of emotion. No stiff posing here—just real, unscripted moments that tell your story. I’ll help you feel confident and comfortable, whether it's your wedding day, a boudoir session, or a just-because adventure. Outside of photography, I’m usually hiking, doing Jiu-Jitsu, or traveling with my wife. Let’s create something timeless and unforgettable together!

From the very first moment we connected with Lauren at the Wedding Expo at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, we knew we were placing the photographing of the biggest day of our lives in the most-capable hands. Her professionalism, warmth, and incredible eye for detail completely blew us away right from the start. What she delivered wasn't just a set of photos, it was a breathtaking, emotional time capsule of our engagement shoot and wedding day that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. There’s something truly special about a vendor who becomes more than just a part of your wedding team - someone who feels like a trusted friend. From the moment my wife and I connected with Lauren, we knew we had found someone exceptional. Throughout the entire journey leading up to our big day, Lauren was a steady, joyful, and deeply supportive presence. We first worked with her offically during our engagement shoot, and to say we were blown away would be an understatement. The photos were stunning! So beautifully composed, natural, and authentically us. That experience only amplified our excitement for what she would capture on our wedding day. Lauren’s turnaround time is nothing short of incredible. Despite her demanding schedule (a testament to how in-demand and talented she is), she delivered our photos with unbelievable speed and care. We’re still in awe of how quickly we were able to relive the magic of our day through her lens. Her prep work leading up to the wedding was flawless. Working seamlessly alongside our Day-Of Coordinator, Lauren helped us map out a photography timeline that not only made the day run smoothly but also allowed us to be fully present. Thanks to her thoughtful planning and attention to detail, our First Look and post-ceremony portraits unfolded effortlessly - a massive weight lifted off our shoulders. And then came the photos. Every single one radiates with emotion, artistry, and intention. Lauren didn’t just document our wedding, she told our story in the most breathtaking way. Her talent behind the camera is undeniable, but it’s her warmth, intuition, and joy that truly set her apart. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only at the top of their craft but also brings a glowing, calming, and genuine energy to your wedding day, look no further than Lauren. We feel endlessly lucky to have had her by our side - and now in our hearts.

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day. Being in Business for 6years with over 120 Wedding shot across the country.

King is seriously a dream to work with! From the first time we talked, we just knew they were the right choice. He’s so down-to-earth and made us feel totally at ease, which was huge because neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera. He helped us with posing when we needed it (thank you for making us look like we knew what we were doing!), but also just let us be ourselves, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. He totally captured the vibe of our day, especially the reception. The energy, the laughter, the dancing—everything was perfectly documented. We couldn’t have asked for better photos that really tell the story of our celebration. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out!

WOW. We just went through our photos this morning together. We are literally obsessed. You and Jay did such an amazing job! Marco and I are both so grateful we had your team capture our day. The number of genuinely HAPPY and SMILING faces tells us so much about how great of an evening it was not only for us but also our guests too. You captured so many genuine and natural moments which was exactly what we talked about nearly 2 years ago. We are sad it’s over, sad to not be working in the same capacity with you but I have a feeling we might have made a connection far more than just a vendor client relationship. Thank you for all your help through all our hurdles and listening to our vision and making it come alive from every aspect! Love, The Kus

We’re Lights and Sound Media Weddings—your one-stop dream team for unforgettable, high-energy wedding experiences. We’re not just here to document your big day—we’re here to elevate it. From cinematic videography to swoon-worthy photography, epic DJ sets, seamless coordination, timeline planning, and even custom social media content, we do it all with flair, flexibility, and heart. Every package is handcrafted around your style, your story, and your budget—because no two love stories should look the same. We’re obsessed with getting every detail right and making you feel celebrated, not stressed.

Working with S&LM was pretty good. They communicated to me closer to the event, and asked me for everything they needed and more. The pictures I have seen so far look great, and the small video I have seen looked good as well. They made sure I got almost all of the specific photos I wanted, and had a take-charge attitude while photographing, and making sure everyone was in the right place and looking great! The DJs were pretty good, but didn't know all the specific songs we mentioned that we wanted played for certain dances/moments. They also didn't announce the first dance until they were hitting the play button, which threw our choreography off until we asked them to restart! Unfortunately, some people missed our dance because they didn't know that it was happening. It still worked out in the end, and all the right songs were played at the right moments. All in all, I would definitely recommend Lights & Sound Media to prospective couples.

My wedding photos were one of the most important things to me on my wedding day, as it is most brides, because they capture the memories made that’ll last a lifetime. Working with Ryan eliminated absolutely any stress I had of getting the perfect photos. Starting with the planning process he helped guide our “day of wedding” schedule and added input to ensure we got every photo we wanted. During our wedding day he made everyone feel VERY MUCH at ease. Our bridal party was laughing, joking, smiling, having an amazing time and nobody felt they were put into awkward poses and that was evident when we received our photos back. The natural feel of every photo is priceless! Ryan went above and beyond and I could not be happier with choosing him to photograph our wedding! 20/10 recommend.

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

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!

Michael Murphy IV Photography

People often bring me around to document the good times. Whether it be a wedding, a family gathering, a milestone, or any of the other exciting landmarks we experience in life. I couldn’t be more grateful for this. My goal in my work is to capture your story in a true and honest way. This means becoming part of your event and documenting the story from the inside out. I believe the best images come from real, authentic, unaltered moments. These moments aren’t staged or set up… they are captured.

Michael Murphy IV Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, their communication was effective, thoughtful, and intentional, with quick responses to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, Michael put us at ease as the bride and groom, as well as all of our family and guests, knowing he would beautifully capture our day with ease. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - candid, genuine, beautiful, and natural. We are thrilled with the final photos, which perfectly encapsulate the easy-going and joyful atmosphere of our special day. We highly recommend Michael Murphy IV Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

Based in Traverse city Michigan but available anywhere!! Looking for couples who think outside the box for their wedding and just want to have fun and enjoy their friends and family. OF COURSE also get some epic photos along the way.

I cannot recommend Chelsea enough. We used her as our engagement and wedding photographer and I can barely put into words how much we fell in love! She is so crazy talented and artistic and she truly captured our personalities and love as a couple. Being two very camera shy and goofy individuals, Chelsea made us feel so comfortable and at peace. We laughed, we cried, we had a blast. I would highly recommend doing an adventure session before your wedding! I can stress this enough. It prepares you so much for your big day. Chelsea was also great with recommending and helping with other vendors she felt would mesh well with our style. So blessed to have her now as a friend. Can’t wait for babies and family photos!!
