Allie Siarto & Co. Photography 

5.0

East Lansing, MI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,900

I'm an editorial style wedding and portrait photographer based in East Lansing, Michigan. I photograph real people with real emotions—smiles, laughter and sentimental moments. I promise that you’re going to laugh in your photos rather than laughing at how awkward you were in your photos in years to come (unless your bangs look like mine did in junior high, in which case, I take back my promise).

Allie's photography and editing skills are second to none. She takes true to color photos, does not distort a gorgeous event with editing, and is so knowledgable about prompts to create the most natural looking photos. She doesn't do "posing" but encourages couples and clients to behave naturally and shoots them with the utmost professionalism and care. She is fun and easy to be around for an entire day and her communication is amazing. I would trust Allie with every professional photograph I need taken for the rest of time.

Hi there, my name is Bethany, a photographer from mid-Michigan. Weddings are my favorite but I also love photographing babies, couples and families. My passion is to capture your day and milestones in an artistic, creative way. I strive to make every moment peaceful, fun and memorable. When I am not behind the camera, you will find me working my other (main) job, cooking, or hanging with my husband. I love coffee (iced Americano w/ a ‘lil bit of cream is the way to my heart), flowers, aesthetic color palettes, travel, 70s & 90s music, disco balls, T. Swift jams and tacos.

Bethany was SO incredibly sweet, and really over-delivered on what we were expecting! Her style is so beautiful, and she not only matched our vibes, she enhanced them and elevated them! Ugh. A QUEEN!

I'm obsessed with the outdoors so a hike to an epic location is never out of the question with me. I love my Chacos, pine trees, and a dang good s'more.

Olivia saved the day for my fiancé and I!!!! When our photographer wouldn’t do our outdoor engagement shoot as originally planned and included in our wedding package, we needed to find someone who was able to last minute so we could get our Save the Dates out in time!! Olivia was up for the challenge and it was a blessing in disguise to have do our engagement shoot. She’s easy to talk to, provided great direction for my fiancé who hates cameras, made it fun, and I loved the quality of the photos! The lighting she was able to capture at sunset on the beach was literally the most beautiful I’ve ever seen! She made us laugh the entire time and we were given so many edited photos back! They were all so beautiful it was so hard to pick just one for our save the date! I wish she could be our wedding photographer but I had already put a deposit down for someone else :( YOU NEED TO BOOK HER!

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!

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.

We are so very pleased – thank you for capturing our day so beautifully!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

If I could give Grace and her assistant 10 stars I would! Our wedding was very low key with no day of coordinator, etc. Grace and her assistant helped my husband and I navigate the day. We were also very nervous about having photos taken and she did a wonderful job at putting us at ease and helping us with poses. Our wedding photos turned out amazing and we get so many compliments on them! I highly recommend Grace for your wedding!

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!

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 Andrea. I'm a full-time photographer based in the wild north of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I specialize in nature elopements and small, intimate weddings in the UP and throughout the state of Michigan. My biggest passion is to be able to document your love story in creative, hauntingly beautiful, timeless images for you to keep forever. And give you an experience that allows you to relax, be yourself, and savor all the moments without pressure.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew I wanted to work with Andrea immediately from viewing her work on her Instagram page. Her style was exactly what my husband and I were looking for in regards to how we wanted our wedding day documented. Every exchange and phone call with Andrea was as if I was talking to a life long friend who just happened to live 7 hours away. The first time meeting Andrea we also got to meet her assistant Shonda who was the one to shoot our wedding since Andrea was already booked for our date. We planned to view some location sites and ended up just sight seeing around the UP and having an amazing day! Andrea is so passionate about the UP and loves sharing amazing places and local stories with people she meets, we almost forgot we were looking for ceremony locations. We ended up doing a short engagement shot with Andrea which was so comfortable and relaxing and fun to do! Everything she directed us to do was natural and photographed beautifully. She always claims she’s awkward but don’t let her fool you. She will 100% get distracted by rocks, flowers, or mushrooms though, and if you have any interest in nature she is someone you should definitely work with. When our wedding weekend came around, there was some challenges with some strong winds, so the ceremony location the day before of the wedding needed to be changed. Andrea and Shonda scouted new locations for us and found the most beautiful location, it was so perfect I dare say it turned out better than the original location and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Shonda was amazing to work with the day of the wedding, her and Andrea have similar personalities and work styles it was such a pleasure to have her shoot our wedding for us. More so it was SUCH a pleasure meeting these two amazing ladies who were played such an important part in our wedding day. I cannot recommend Lume Photography and Andrea and Shonda enough. They do everything they can to make sure your wedding day is all about you and your partner and make everything so relaxed for you, that you can focus on the love you share on your day.

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.

Hello! My name is Tonya. First and foremost, I am a mom to a beautiful little boy (who, let's face it, is completely tired of mom's camera!). I started behind a camera almost fifteen years ago when my grandpa first showed me how to use his. I live for the click of the shutter, capturing those moments that will be gone but never forgotten. Having been a previous cast member at Walt Disney World (and other theme parks), I found that I love the organized chaos that comes with photographing a wedding. Not to mention, who doesn't adore capturing the love between two people?

Tonya had a lovely, quality approach to capturing our special day, and her knowledgeable expertise really shone through. Tonya's very chill vibe matched our own and helped ease any stress on the wedding day, allowing us to simply enjoy the moment. We got our preview photos very quickly which is always nice - and we can't wait to see them all, we know they'll be stellar.

Barry is a rare Gem. Photography is a huge deal for our family as my husband and I are very passionate about it. I lack the profound words to describe Barry’s work. He is reasonable, experienced and his end results do all the talking for him. His images captured everything that many use editing gadgets to portray. A simple black and white portrait makes you feel what a thousand colors may struggle to. Barry thank you so much for the amazing work you do.

Ever since childhood, I’ve been captivated by the power of photos and the stories they tell. Growing up, I’d lose myself in family photo albums, fascinated with freezing moments in time led me to photography, a medium that became my canvas for expressing emotions and creativity. What fuels my passion for wedding photography? It’s the profound belief in the power of love stories. In a world where adult milestones are fewer, the journey of marrying your best friend and soulmate stands out as a core memory. I find immense joy in capturing the moments when love, support, and celebration intertwine, creating memories that last a lifetime.

Wild Free Photos - Michigan was the perfect photographer for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding, with perfect and timely responses to all of our questions. They were super understanding and nice throughout the entire process, making us feel comfortable and confident. Their work is truly beautiful, with a style that captures the timeless romance of it all. We loved that they offered a boudoir shoot instead of a traditional engagement session - it was such a special and empowering experience that allowed them to make us feel beautiful. Overall, Wild Free Photos provided incredible value and we are thrilled with the stunning photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.

My mission is to freeze your milestones forever in time. I vow to make our experience together comfortable, full of laughter and unique to you! I truly mean it when I say that I want to be your friend. I will get to know you, encourage you and cheer you on as you navigate life.

McKenzie was everything I could have asked for in a photographer. I spent a lot of time looking through photographers in the area, as having nice photos to look back on was super important to me. We don't live near where our venue was, so I was a bit nervous about not being able to meet the vendors ahead of time, but this was not a problem at all. McKenzie was very communicative and video called me for our meetings, was up front about the costs and payments, and honestly just so so sweet. I genuinely felt like she was just as excited about my wedding as I was. Her positive attitude was so reassuring and I knew right away that we made the right choice. On our wedding day, she gave great direction for posing, which was super helpful as our bridal party (bride & groom included) were not very experienced working with a professional photographer. I have a pretty big blended family, and McKenzie was so helpful organizing everybody and making sure everyone looked their best for photos (even making it work when some family members made things complicated). We had a videographer as well that McKenzie had never worked with before, but you couldn't tell that they had just met that day, as the worked so well together. When people were at risk of interrupting our photos, she kindly asked them to move, and snuck me out for sunset photos during the ceremony with ease. We had our "sneak peek" photos sent to us only a few days after the wedding which were so sweet to look at during our honeymoon. She even included a sweet card in our card box. Not only is she talented, but she is kind, helpful, understanding, and it felt like I was working with a friend (despite basically being strangers). These are photos I will have to look back on to remember these moments forever and I am so grateful I chose the right photographer. I would highly recommend McKenzie to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, or a photographer for any service she offers.

Growing up I always had a camera in hand, documenting camping adventures, skateboard videos, and ridiculous skits, I captured everything! I filmed my first wedding in 2005 in Detroit for a family member, it was my first gig and I was excited about it. From then on I started to really put the time in to learn proper composition, lighting, and editing techniques. I started off as a videographer but have come to love photography just as much, because of this I am able to offer both photography and film services to our clients.

Jason was very professional. Consulted with us, asked the right questions, and gave the right suggestions to ensure that capturing our wedding day was beautiful. When we saw the output of his work, it brought my wife to happy tears. Everyone who has seen our wedding pictures and video has heaped nothing short of praises for Jason and his work. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jmaas Productions anytime, any day.

At Bonie Weddings, we specialize in capturing the genuine, unforgettable moments of your big day, from the first kiss to the final dance. Our team of photographers and videographers is committed to telling your unique love story with a timeless style that you'll cherish for a lifetime. We understand that wedding planning can be overwhelming, which is why our in-house planning team is here to streamline the process. With clear communication and personalized support, we handle the details so you can focus on enjoying your special day with less stress.

Bonie Wedding was great to work with. From the start process, the communication was easy. Hannah was our lead photographer with Emily and Lactoya were our videographers, who were both great teams. 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!
