I can't express how thrilled we are with the incredible work of March81 Photography, especially with Michael and Jennifer capturing our wedding day. Their talent and professionalism shone through, and the photos they delivered were absolutely breathtaking. We couldn't have asked for a better team to capture our special moments. Having both Michael and Jennifer was a brilliant decision, as it allowed them to be in multiple places at once, ensuring no precious moment was missed.

Hi! I’m Karly, and capturing wedding days is a dream come true for me! I love it so much and I cannot wait to help you bring your vision to life! If you want a photographer who feels like an old friend, and seamlessly blends into your celebration while documenting all the candid emotion and directing the editorial moments you are dreaming of, that's me! I’m all about connection, legacy, and family. My clients rave about how easy I am to relate to and how I make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
I submitted an inquiry form on Karly ‘s website at 11:49am for golden hour pregnancy announcement photos. I included my number and asked for a phone call or text as I was visiting from out of town. Karly texted me within THIRTY MINUTES of submitting the form! She then booked me for the same day! She was very thorough before hand and asked questions about what we were looking for, in order to maximize our time together. When we met up with her at point betsey, it never felt like getting to know a stranger. It always felt like catching up with a close friend. She was so sweet and made the experience so special for us. Karly even got a few sneak peaks out to us within a day so we could do our announcement the same day! She also did a great job posing us. Any bride or family would be very lucky to have Karly capturing their memories. I cannot wait to bring my baby girl here and to hire Karly to take our family photos ️

We got down pour rain and she was quick to have plans to take us to get beautiful pictures. She was so thoughtful with doing things she didn’t have to do, like helping hold my wet dress, and so much more. Connie is extremely calming presence in a stressful and hectic day. We absolutely loved our pictures and all the special moments she captured without us realizing and was truly so special working with her!

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.

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.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

I highly recommend using Bonie weddings for both photo and video, as the two teams worked together without any trouble. During the reception, we barely noticed their presence, yet every time we looked up they were there recording everything. It was so nice to know that your special day was captured from start to finish, without feeling overwhelming. We appreciated Hannah and Emily's directions for all the photos. The production team was great as well. Very responsive and easy to communicate. They make the entire process clear and concise, which is appreciated when the wedding planning process and day off can feel overwhelming. Our wedding was not even 2 weeks ago and we already received our video trailer, as well as some sneak peek pictures from Hannah via Dropbox. Hannah also did our engagement shoot and it was fun and easy. We loved how our pictures came out and are so eager to see the rest. Thank you Bonie!

We travel all over this country, and even internationally, when the right opportunity presents itself, documenting love stories for our amazing couples.

Bellocq Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. They were great to chat with throughout the planning process, and their communication style put us at ease. On the day of, they provided excellent direction on how to pose, and the resulting photos are absolutely stunning. They captured all of the most important moments, as well as many extra shots that really tell the story of our special day. The editing is beautiful and we couldn't be happier with the final album. Bellocq Weddings went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfectly documented, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and personable photography team.

Hi, I'm Mandy! I'm happiest at home with a cup of coffee (heavy on the cream & sugar), watching some HGTV (Fixer Upper anyone?!) & flipping through Instagram, with my beagle, Jack, snuggled on my feet. I love exploring new places with my sweetheart, Shawn, trying new foods, craft beer, coffee dates, Michigan autumns, and, of course, PHOTOGRAPHY! Thank you so much for stopping by my page. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you all, and I appreciate each and every one of you!

Portraits By Mandy was the perfect wedding photographer for our special day. From our first conversation, Mandy was detailed, wonderful, and attentive, answering all of our questions and making us feel at ease. On the day of the wedding, she captured every moment beautifully, creating timeless, classic photos that we will cherish forever. Mandy truly made our day feel extra special, and I cannot stop looking at the incredible photos she took - they are displayed all over our house. We plan to use Mandy for every special occasion in the future, as her work is simply stunning.

I captured my first wedding in August of 2018, it was the day I fell head over heels in love with wedding photography. It's all about capturing the love story for me..the feels from beginning to end. When you book with AGS, you're signing on for an adventure. Your engagement session is a celebration full of us getting to know one another, lots of laughter, and having fun! As your wedding nears closer AGS will help with your timeline, connect with your vendors ( or introduce you to some of the best) and help plan out the perfect photo locations, along with any other needs to create the perfect day.

So easy to work with. Pictures turned out so perfect. Not to mention she’s so kind and full of positivity! Would highly recommend!

I am a luxury destination photographer based in MICHIGAN, COLORADO & FLORIDA! I am ALL over Michigan and all over the nation! I have a home in Lansing, Holland & Traverse City. I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

Hey there! I got our USB! This is the coolest USB I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much! I wanted to reach out again to tell you that you and Jed are two of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. From the moment you messaged me on Facebook, you’ve been one of the most genuinely kind people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet and I’m so thankful that I got the pleasure to have you photograph such a milestone in Greg and I’s lifetime. You both were incredibly patient and intuitive to our feelings and needs during the wedding which surpassed any expectations I could have set for a photographer. It’s apparent that you both genuinely love what you do and you both put your entire soul into each client(s) you take on. I received so many compliments from my guests regarding how professional you both were as well. I can’t begin to describe how beautiful these photos are. You put life into all of my visions for the wedding and made them into such pieces of art. Thank you again for not only providing us with great customer service and beautiful photos, but being truly wonderful people.

I’m Katy, a Michigan based wedding + event photographer who loves to travel. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016. My love for photography started out when I was about 6 years old. I’m a huge goofball, so if you’ve ever thought “I’ll be too awkward in photos," I know what you mean. We can be goofballs together, and I promise I won’t let you look awkward in any of your photos. A little more about me: I'm a foodie. Send bar/restaurant recommendations please! I spend a good portion of my time at concerts when I'm not photographing anything. I'm also a HUUUUGE Detroit Red Wings fan!

Katy is AMAZING! Our photos turned incredible and were everything we dreamed of. Not only that, Katy was such a wonderful part of our day. We had a very small wedding and every person that interacted with her or saw her working was obsessed with her. All I heard the following day was how great she was and how fun she made the day. I wish I could get married again to have her so my pictures again!
