I am a documentary wedding & elopement photographer based in West Michigan. Forever obsessed with nature, travel, rocks, and documenting everyday life. I spend most of my time between Michigan and the southwest, eating pizza, finding the best vintage stores, checking out national parks and bike parks, and watching as many sunsets as I can.

When I was in the throes of wedding planning over a year ago, I was reaching out to vendors and putting payments down for June 2, 2024, and was crossing my fingers my deployed fiancé would even be able to attend, thanks to his unpredictable schedule. Amidst the stress (and borderline panic attacks!!) I was having because of that, I was also receiving a lieu of impersonal emails with quotes from photographers. When I got the email back from Jessica, she was the only one who answered with excitement and personality, and gave me a sense that this was supposed to be FUN. All this wedding planning was a very lucky sort of stress, and she didn’t make me feel like I was just some box to check off in her inbox— she was personable and friendly, and I liked her immediately. For the course of the year, Jessica and I kept up with eachother with texts, messages, and Instagram— and I felt like she was already a friend when June arrived. Even after her 12 hour journey to Virginia, she was full of energy and ready to go. She helped adjust some coordination timelines and caught things that I otherwise wouldn’t have. She hung out with my rambunctious family all weekend, witnessing our love and laughter, WIDE range of personalities, and even some sisterly tiffs. Honestly, she whole-heartedly became part of our crew. She ran everything past me when it came to details. Duke and I are not people who are comfortable in front of a camera, and I LOVED having her specifically tell us what to do to look good, while still feeling incredibly relaxed and natural around her. Duke and I kept saying she had Jedi powers the way she was able to flip cameras, batteries and equipment seamlessly. I’m writing this while in the airport leaving our honeymoon, and not only did Duke and I, and our families fall in love with Jessica— I still have guests reaching out to me via text to tell me how they hit it off with her on their own, how impressed they were with her ethic, or how they loved pictures from our sneak peek (eeeek!) I am not a girl who naturally feels pretty or comfortable in front of a camera. Jessica gave me the gift of finally experiencing both of those things on our special day. I felt beautiful and at ease. She captured the bridal portraits that I hope my great grandkids will put in their family tree projects for school one day, some of Dukes family and mine meeting for the first time, friends dancing, and our grandparents mingling and giving us their love. Duke and I knew our big white wedding would be our one chance to have everyone we love in one place. We are well aware of the rarity in that, and the fact that we don’t have much longer with some of those people we love. We’re well aware that these are the photos Duke and I will be looking at with our grandchildren when we’re old and grey, thinking about “the good ol’ days.” These photos are all we will have left one day of the people we love so fiercely, and these versions of ourselves. We will endlessly be grateful for Jessica of her effort and the labor that went into photographing a weekend like ours. She captured every single aspect of us and those we love, and above all us, gave us the gift of memory. 3 Faith and Duke

I am a Traverse City native, completely passionate about meeting new people and celebrating life's biggest adventures with them. Some of my favorite things in the world are Northern Michigan summers, a good story, and beautiful light. I am crazy about Jesus, my family, and adventures, and I consider it a great privilege to be a living my dream of being a wedding and portrait photographer in my absolute favorite place on earth.

Anna and Jules were the most perfect photographers for our wedding day. If I could give them 1,000 stars, I would! From the moment we first spoke, they were prompt, easy to work with, and incredibly friendly, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly amazing and unmatched - they captured the true beauty and intimacy of our wedding, never getting in the way but always there to document every important moment. Anna and Jules made me feel special at every turn, and I can't imagine having anyone else photograph us that day. Anna also photographed our engagement pictures so we knew we were in good hands from the start. She was incredibly helpful with planning our wedding day and bringing our vision for our wedding pictures to life. We will definitely be using them again for our other big life moments, and I can't recommend them enough to any couple looking for wedding photographers they can trust completely.

  • Serves Lake Leelanau, MI

My name is Lisa McCoy (as you can guess)! My husband Aj and I live in Alanson of Northern Michigan. We enjoy camping and road trips. We make sure to find all the hidden gems Michigan has to offer on the way. During Michigan summers we love being on, or in, the water. Kayaking is a personal favorite of ours. Although, I think my happiest place is walking alongside the ocean — I can’t describe how it makes my heart feel to be there! Aj and I enjoy trying new craft beers from all around the state. I always have a bottle of champagne in the fridge while Aj is always trying different kinds of scotch. Hence the names of our wedding packages.

Lisa did our little wedding ceremony and photos are the most important part of my day. I'm a photographer as well and has been stalking Lisa's work. She never disappoints! Cannot stop looking at our photos even almost 1 year later.

I'm a Michigan Native and moved north 6 years ago - best decision I've ever made. I prefer whiskey and lakeside campfires, but I also love a night out on the town. I'm a mom, major cat lady, and I'm currently loving Seinfield reruns. I'm a teacher by degree, and have worked in the event industry for years. I'm a big true crime junkie - podcasts, books, shows - all of it, but I cannot for the life of me watch a scary movie. I believe the best moments happen in the in-between, and these in-betweens tell our story. I love stopping time in these moments, just for a minute, so you can tell your story for years to come.

Having traveled to Arizona, Tennessee, Nebraska, Florida, South Carolina, California, and more, I am open and ready to travel abroad for your wedding as well!

Alexis Brianne Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was easily understandable, thorough, and very organized, which helped put our minds at ease throughout the wedding planning process. Alexis' photos and editing skills are truly amazing - there were so many beautiful pictures to choose from, it was almost overwhelming. Her attention to detail and ability to freeze special moments in time is just incredible. Before the wedding, Alexis was in constant contact with us, and on the day of, her calm presence helped reassure my wife when her anxiety started to get the best of her. When I needed to make a last-minute change, Alexis was incredibly reassuring and helped me work through it. We really appreciated the time she spent with us going over specific shots we wanted, as well as her suggestions for other unique angles and perspectives. Compared to some of our friends who paid almost 15,000 for their wedding photography, Alexis' work and value is unmatched. In fact, I even suggested she consider raising her prices (after our wedding, of course!). Overall, Alexis Brianne Photography exceeded our expectations in every way and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Rayan Anastor Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Lake Leelanau, MI

You can usually find me out on our boat with my husband and three children exploring the Great Lakes. When I am not exploring Michigan, I am definitely traveling to explore other areas around the world. I love photographing the fleeting moments with my children as they experience life is something: A smile, a tear, the belly laugh, concentration and everything in between. This fascination is what carries over to my photography. The connection between two people who intend to spend the rest of their lives together is magical. It is expressive and full of fleeting moments that one may forget unless it is captured in a photograph.

Rayan is one of the most creative wedding photographers working today. During the leadup, she'll work closely with you to understand the nuances of your day. And when the day arrives, she'll document your sentimental moments in a thoughtful, discreet manner. My background is in art and design, and every time I look at her images, I'm so incredibly impressed by her artistic vision. But perhaps even more importantly, the photographs remind me of how special the day was and how warm and accommodating Rayan was throughout the entire experience. I can't imagine it without her.

Marcela Rowe Photography is a wedding photography business Based in the Northern Michigan. The company’s approach is inspired by candid moments and fine art. This results in bright, timeless images that preserve the dazzling details of newlyweds’ special days. Owner and main photographer, Marcela Rowe started the business in 2019 and has specialized in wedding and portrait photography ever since. When working with this photography business, to-be-weds can expect a joyful, relaxing experience that allows their natural chemistry to shine through.

I truly wish I could find the words to explain how AMAZING Marcela is and was, but trying to think of words that are perfect enough to describe her is near impossible, but I will certainly try! Since the moment I met Marcela I knew she was going to capture our big day and do so with love, encouragement, and professionalism and that she did. I have only received my sneak peek album at this point in time (that’s because my wedding was only two weeks ago) and if this doesn’t speak volumes about how obsessed I am with my photos I don’t know what will because I couldn’t even wait for my full wedding album to be delivered to write this review. Marcela made my husband and I feel like the most beautiful/ handsome people the whole day. She was so efficient with timing throughout my day and made sure every single moment was captured. She arrived early and scoped out the most perfect spots for photo opportunities! I put together a shot list and she made sure we captured every single one of those photos and then some. She was so amazing with helping you pose and had some of the most amazing/ unique photo ideas that turned out to be some of our FAVORITES! I’m currently struggling with picking favorites because I love them and the edits so much (what a great problem to have). All and all, Marcela is THAT girl, I could not recommend her enough. I am forever grateful to have had her! WE LOVE YOU MARCELA!! - The entire Moran family (yes entire because even our family & friends were obsessed with you!)

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.

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!!

A few examples that contributed to our special day - Carly adapted our portrait timeline based on lighting conditions which resulted in beautiful golden hour photos. My husband was more comfortable after changing the schedule. We highly recommend Carly, she is very talented and kind. Her photography beautifully documented our wedding celebrations and we will treasure the photos for years to come.

My photography is bright, colorful and true-to-life. I love to find the balance between the posed, elegant portraits and the candid, joyful photos of you and your partner, surrounded by your favorite people coming together to celebrate your love. I want your photos to capture authentic emotion and meaningful moments, and for the images to be timeless heirlooms that you’ll look back at fondly for years to come. I focus on the meaningful connection of the moment rather than perfect posing. Your wedding is a day full of emotion, and I want your photos to highlight those feelings.

We love working with Kristin! She is always very professional, kind and an amazing photographer!

Finding and working with Nicole was one of the best decisions I could have ever made for mine and my husbands wedding. Nicole from day one made sure to make herself available and was so informative. No matter how many questions I had or if I just wanted to update her about something she was always there, literally a friend from a far. Leading up to wedding day Nicole checked in with me and made sure she was current and up to date with all things wedding, she assisted me with the timeline and overall flow of the wedding day and even added in some suggestions. Nicole showed up on wedding day and it was so nice finally meeting her in person after almost a year of Facetime, calls, and texts. I have never met someone more professional. I would recommend Nicole over and over to anyone because she provides such quality in her photos and it was an absolute joy working with her.

From the very first moment we stepped in front of Cheleana's camera, we felt like we were friends—her warm and welcoming spirit made us instantly comfortable. Over the years, we have shared nearly every significant life event with her, and we can't imagine our lives without our annual sessions! Cheleana always goes WAY above and beyond to capture the perfect shot, guiding us effortlessly throughout the process. It's like magic; you don't even realize it's happening! With her easy chit-chat and infectious laughter, every session feels like a joyous reunion. What stands out the most about our experience with Cheleana is her genuine heart and love for photography and people. Every time we work with her, it feels like we are her only and favorite clients. Nothing about our sessions feels fake or repetitive; it’s truly special. The artistry in her photos is astounding—it's hard to believe a magazine hasn’t snatched her up yet! Each image is infused with emotion, making them feel like art. The editing is tastefully done, allowing us to feel elevated and confident while remaining 1000% ourselves. Her candid shots are my absolute favorite; many of the photos she’s taken of my husband and me, as our family has grown, have brought me to tears. She has given me the priceless gift of slowing down time and cherishing this beautiful life! She is worth Every. Single. Penny!!! Working with Cheleana is an absolute delight. Her fun-loving and laid-back personality makes everything incredibly smooth and comfortable, even when working with little ones and occasionally reluctant husbands! She always has a great joke ready and a treat in her pocket—I'll let you figure out which one is for whom! :p Plus, she goes the extra mile by asking ahead of time if it's okay to give something to the little ones, which shows her thoughtfulness and professionalism. Honestly, we have witnessed her handle every situation over the years with extreme grace and professionalism—whether it was battling the heat on our wedding day while super pregnant or navigating crazy weather, or finding the perfect spot for our photos. There’s absolutely no room for improvement in our eyes; we just hope she never leaves us! Cheleana has truly become a part of our family, and we look forward to many more years of capturing memories together. Thank you, Cheleana, for everything you do! If you’re thinking of booking…. DO IT!! Trust me!!!! She will make you feel like you had the wedding of the century and you’ll want to stare at the pictures on your walls for decades!!!

Hiii! I'm Heather Schoolcraft - owner & CEO! I'm a small town gal from WV who LOVES traveling and pops of color. I've designed my entire company around creating authentic + magical love stories. I have an associate team specifically trained to go and take on more couples! The only thing that's different on your wedding day is you see a different face! On your wedding day, our goal is to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and to focus on the raw + real moments on your day. Don't settle for less because you have to. Let ME help you get the photos + video that you've always dreamed of.

Awarded Best of Zola
I booked Heather after seeing her photos posted by my venue and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world for having found her. Heather and her team are incredibly organized, professional, and kind. She was the rock I needed on our day to help us stay on track and to keep everything moving. She met with us multiple times leading up to our big day and helped give us direction for planning each step of the wedding day schedule. Her aesthetic is beautiful and warm and she was able to capture and create photos that were worthy of a wedding magazine. If you are looking for an experienced, strong, and aesthetically gifted team then Heather and her team are the people for you. I cannot thank them enough for helping us and for helping capture our day!
