Arrae Photography 

5.0

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400

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.

We booked with Amethyst x Emerald as a coordinator for our wedding day. Going in I just wanted someone to decorate and help make sure things went smooth. But Kristen went way above and beyond. She made sure my timeline and Floorplan were good. She connected with all my vendors. They ran the rehearsal and wedding day and did tons of amazing behind scenes things, my favorite being sending us home with leftovers since I forgot to eat! I'm so glad I hired Kristen and her team. I would recommend everyone hire her.

  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,250

We are a videography and production company based in West Michigan, and we're not in business of filmmaking because we have to be, we're in it because we want to be. Each member of our team has a passion for film and wants to bring their unique art to your story. Based out of Grand Rapids and operating since 2009, our team focuses on capturing candid moments and a small number of formal shots in order to create a truly beautiful and cinematic film of your day. We will approach your wedding day with fair pricing and an unwavering commitment to capturing every important moment that you can cherish for years to come.

When looking into vendors for our wedding, we debated a videographer because of the cost; when we came across Unnammed Films, it was a no brainer. We were so impressed at the different services that they had to offer. The quality of work, the professionalism and communication, and they way they tell the story of your wedding day through video is a MUST HAVE. Our wedding went from a large guest list in Traverse City, MI to a small town backyard wedding in Saint Charles, MI because of COVID-19, and Unnammed Films was the first of our vendors to reach out and make accommodations for live video feed if that was something that we wanted for our guest who might not be able to make it. The flexibility was incredible. They captured the essence of our big day in the big and little moments. Things that we might have missed in the busyness of the day, we were able to look back on through this video. We are so happy with our decision to have Unnamed Films capture our day, we would choose them again and again for all of our videographer needs.

The open format and crazy flexible space screams of possibility. And we just happen to host the area's largest collection of vintage furniture rentals onsite to make design a whole lot easier.

Meg was our day of coordinator and she was so sweet and helpful. Coordinated with all of the vendors ahead of time and made sure everything was set up perfectly! Ellie took over later in the day and made sure everything went smoothly and cleaned everything up so quickly and helped us get all of our stuff! I cannot stop raving about how great they were! On top of the great staff, the venue is absolutely stunning. I received so many compliments on how gorgeous the venue was and how it was unique. The elevator entrance for the bride was also a huge hit!! 100% would recommend to anyone that they get married here!

  • Starts at $2,200

We are the wedding coordination company for the couple who is planning their own wedding but wants to have a stress free wedding day. We include timeline creation and 3 meetings to make sure we understand your wedding day completely and can manage it perfectly.

We cannot thank Elysia and the whole team at The Best Day Details enough for being the absolute MVP of our wedding! From the very beginning, she was attentive and organized, guiding us through every step of the planning process. Before the Week: Elysia was incredibly helpful during the planning stage, which I hadn’t necessarily expected since it was primarily coordinating services rather than full planning. Thank goodness for that! She offered invaluable advice and suggestions that made logistics so much easier. She coordinated with vendors, handled logistics, and took care of so many other details. Before the Ceremony: On the day of the wedding, Elysia was calm and composed. She managed the timeline expertly (which is saying a lot since I must have been a bit frantic with everything I crammed in), ensured everything was in place, and resolved some last-minute issues. During the Ceremony: She made sure everything went off without a hitch! The energy during the ceremony was so much fun because she took care of anything that could have made it challenging. During the Reception: Now THIS is where Elysia was the real MVP. There were some significant timing, logistics, and vendor obstacles, and Elysia handled ALL of them. Her attention to detail made our day, and everyone else's, just incredible. She kept everything running smoothly, managed the timeline, and addressed any concerns we had without us even noticing. Elysia made our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We couldn't have done it without her expertise and dedication. If you're looking for someone who will truly go above and beyond, look no further!

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and candid. Specializing in short form vignette wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a journalistic approach to capturing the day with an uptempo editing style. No posing. No staging. Just the real moments of your wedding day.

Chad and his wife were very personable and very dedicated to making our wedding day very special. They were both always willing to answer any questions, requests and concerns we had. The video created by Chad was awesome and beautiful. From day one, Chad was very professional and easy to communicate with. His creativity was top notch. Wedding days can be very hectic and stressful. However, Chad helped to create a calm environment by granting the requests we had in mind with the little time we had allotted. All of this, while advising us how things would look better for our wedding video. You can tell he has been doing this for a long time. His experience shows! We would recommend Chad for any functions requiring professional videography without hesitation. Thank you again from O'Neill and Monica.

I can not speak highly enough about Rosehand Art & Co. Reina and April traveled to my Ludington wedding and made me feel more beautiful than I ever have before. I struggled to find a HMUA that would accommodate me and my small wedding party but these girls made my Matron of Honor and I feel just as important regardless of that. My bridal makeup was something I was very particular of out of all the many details that go into planning, and Reina absolutely nailed it. Both ladies were on time, efficient and so kind to us. Our hair and makeup lasted all day through the tears, strong wind and hours of dancing. I can not thank them enough for being such an important part of my day. Highly, highly recommend booking with them!!

Hello! What I love about working at weddings is the unique experiences you have with each event. I enjoy tailoring songs and music to the couple's request and creating beautiful background music for their events. I value professionalism, adaptability, and an energetic spirit.

From the moment we booked WilliamVZ Music, we knew we were in good hands. We were so impressed with William and his professionalism, attentiveness, and quick responses throughout the planning process. He is an incredibly talented musician who exceeded our expectations and made our wedding day feel truly special. At the last minute, we noticed we had the wrong microphone extension, but William went above and beyond by letting us use their own speaker to ensure everything ran smoothly. The soundtrack they curated for our morning wedding ceremony and lunch reception felt so intentional and effortless - and is forever engraved in our hearts. William is absolutely the best, and we couldn't be happier with the incredible service they provided.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

Working with Michelle at Granger Creative felt natural and like it was "meant to be." We chatted before the wedding day to make sure we both felt confident with the day-of timeline, and on the wedding day our couple commented that we must have known each other from before! Perhaps we got along so well because we're both mid-westerners? Or maybe it's just because creatives that love what they do are always an easy match. Either way, I loved working with this gal, and you will too!

We had the most wonderful experience at St. Cecilia's on our wedding day! From booking to the day of the wedding, Nadine was so helpful! Communication was wonderful leading up to the day. We even got a layout of our table setup to send to other vendors. They were also so accommodating when we decided to move the buffet to the lower level of the building. Choosing this venue was truly a worthwhile investment! We were originally concerned about the option of only one bar vendor. But we now know why they prioritize them! Martha's catering went above and beyond for us and the bartenders were wonderful. They clearly know the venue and have a lot of experience. So do not let the catering options deter you, clearly St. Cecilia's has them picked for a reason and you can trust your vendors! Have I mentioned that the building is gorgeous!?! The ballroom is stunning and the rooms are all so magical. It is such a beautiful wedding venue. Our guests had a wonderful time!

Her style of photography was exactly what we were looking for and we are so thrilled with the outcome. Lyndsey set up a meeting prior to our wedding and created a whole timeline for photos that went along with what our coordinators at the venue had planned. As a big planning person this was so nice for me to see how the whole day would fit together. My favorite thing about working with Lyndsey was just her in general. She is truly a kind person who is passionate about her work. She has an eye for photography that I haven’t seen in any one else’s work. The poses that she created felt natural and came across beautifully. I can’t recommend her enough.

Sam handled all of our wild details for creating a venue in our friend's backyard with smooth coordination. Sam's adaptability allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding celebration without a worry. We cannot recommend Sam at Halcyon Events highly enough to any couple looking for a wedding planner! What sets her apart from other planners is her non-anxious presence, as well as her giftedness in design and eye for artistry-- with Sam, you're not just hiring a wedding planner, but also someone who will help the day feel cohesive and "you". photos are @emilymoelkerphotography

  • Florist

👋 I’m Rachel, Owner and Lead Creative behind Vormittag Farm & Floral. Flowers are my passion. I LOVE the fancy garden roses all the way down to what some may call weeds. LOL. Flowers represent kindness and I’m always striving to be just that.

Rachel was a treat to work with! Throughout the planning process she was always responsive, informative, and helpful. She had a very detailed intake meeting with us to make sure she understood what we were looking for. She always had suggestions when asked; but it was clear her goal was to bring our vision to life. She succeeded in doing just that and then some. Leading up to the wedding she actually came out with us to plan the floral set up during one of our venue visits, this was such a personal touch and really made us feel like her priority. The day of our wedding she personally dropped off the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnières at the hotel my wife was getting ready at. Afterwards she ensured that all the florals, center pieces, and a multitude of other floral related decorations were beautifully set up and ready on time for us. She and her team also did the takedown so we didn’t need to worry about anything in that regard, which was wonderful. As long as Rachel is in this line of business I will ALWAYS go to her for any of my floral needs. She’s earned a customer for life, I cannot recommend her enough.
