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.

Hi I am Kate! I have a bachelor of fine arts in photography, and have been photographing weddings and elopements for around 5 years. There is nothing I love more that LOVE and all of the emotions that surround a wedding day. I am an LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC inclusive photographer, celebrating diversity is so important to me. I shoot both digital and film, and have a documentary fine art shooting style with a modern twist.

Kate did our elopement shoot and was so fun and easy to work with! My husband and I are normally awkward and she made us feel so comfortable and fun, it really felt effortless. Her personal touch was so genuine, and showing us some of the previews made my husband tear up. You will never regret having her as your photographer!!

Tylee Shay Photography 

5.0

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500

I’m Tylee- a Michigan wedding photographer with a passion for marriage. As your photographer, I'll capture images that are timeless, romantic, and honestly illustrate your love for one another so that you will always remember exactly why you fell in love. Whether you're eloping just the two of you, or getting married in your favorite place with all your favorite people, I will capture the photos that will help you to cherish your marriage for a lifetime.

Choosing Tylee for our photographer was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. It was the best investment, and something I’ll always thank myself for choosing to do. From the beginning to the end, she filled our wedding planning journey with support, encouragement, and intention. It truly was like having another wedding coordinator/bridesmaid. She learns her couples, individually and together, and tailors her talent to their specific “vibe”. Tylee met with us multiple times and ways throughout our engagement. We had video calls, phone calls, Pinterest boards, google forms and more. As an indecisive bride, I was so nervous about choosing locations, outfits, and photo prompts. Tylee quite literally held my hand through it all—style guides, location ideas, photography “styles”, even VENUE ideas. I was 3000% confident in her ability to capture our love beautifully and in the exact way I wanted, without me even knowing what I wanted. THATS how much effort and intention she puts in to know her couples on a personal level. She made our wedding day go so smoothly, between the separate wedding photography timeline we created, and her fun interactions with the family and wedding party. I didn’t have to think about what photos I wanted, because we had already planned it, and because tylee had already thought of it and done it before it came across my mind. We are so grateful and amazed by the turnaround time for our photo sessions and particularly our full wedding album. We’ve heard so many of our friends talk about waiting months to see their photos, so the short time we waited is truly astonishing. We still can’t get through our wedding album without crying, and I don’t think we ever will. Tylee caught so much emotion and detail in these photos, I’m tearing up even thinking about it! Tylee felt more like a friend than a photographer by the end of this journey, and part of me wishes our engagement was just a *bit* longer so we could enjoy Tylee a bit longer.

Lyndsey was amazing through our whole wedding process; from engagement photos, meetings, and the wedding day! She helped two people who generally don’t like their pictures taken feel so comfortable in front of the camera. 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. If you are looking for timeless looking photos that don’t fit into that standard wedding photo box then she is the one for you! I am so thankful to have worked with her during my wedding journey, she made everything amazing! I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Wildcrest Studio 

5.0

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

Wildcrest Studio, established by Jessie Harris, is a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I aim to capture the magic of your wedding day and you as a unique couple through peerless, stunning photographs!

We used Wildcrest Studio for our 2023 wedding, after searching tons and tons of photographers to find someone who could take great candids, was in our budget, and was openly and obviously LGBTQ friendly. Jessie matched her professional wisdom with our wedding photo desires to make sure that we could pull off everything we wanted. The engagement photo session (included in our wedding package) really sealed the deal. I've never enjoyed taking photos and always felt really awkward and uncomfortable in front of a camera, but Jessie made the shoot so fun and easy that I forgot to worry. We got so many beautiful photos that really felt like they captured "us." Jessi was also great at making sure our pronouns and "titles" (bride/spouse/Mrs./etc) were right, and when a little bit of confusion lead to a mistake in our gallery, she re-uploaded the entire thing so that my wife was addressed perfectly all the way through. I would not hesitate to use Wildcrest Studio again for any of my future photography needs.

Kaitlin Jude Photography

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,600

I am an intimate wedding photographer based out of my home state, the Mitten. To sum it up, I'm laid back, chill, and ready to hang out. I call myself an intimate wedding photographer because I work best with couples who want a smaller, more close-knit feel to their wedding day and because I offer my clients a sense of familiarity, and comfortability and help them feel relaxed and ready for the day ahead. By the end-we're great friends! My hope with every session I have is that you'll find not only the pictures beautiful but the shared experience one to remember as well.

Kaitlin did a fantastic job capturing my wedding day. She got along so well with everyone in the wedding party which made shooting a blast. Her work is outstanding, she is so easy to work with, and I would recommend her to everyone.

Alfield Reeves Photography 

5.0

Grand Rapids, MI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,700

I am a Liberian-American portrait & editorial photographer based in West Michigan. I specialize in creating work that encourages self-reflection and expression, promotes equitable action and showcases the black and brown identity and culture. My images are warm, quiet and bold. They bridge traditional divides between photojournalism, portraiture and fashion. My work is featured in magazines and online platforms like Vogue Greece, Grand Rapids Magazine, Grand Rapids Business Journal, ProPublica, and The Trace to name a few. My work has been part of numerous exhibitions locally and statewide.

My husband and I got married in 2019. We booked Alfield for our engagement photos and our wedding photos. The price is so worth the quality and experience you get when working with Alfield. We literally got our photos back the same week as our wedding. All of them were edited, even a physical photo box and custom-created album. Very professional, timely, and easy to work with. No hassle and I never had to worry about any of the logistics related to photography. Alfield seemed to have everything down to a science and every shot was perfect. He could walk around the city and with ease find beautiful shots. He is an artist and an incredible one at that. He had a small team on the day of the wedding, in order to capture both sides of the pre-wedding moments. Whenever I have a need for a photographer, I immediately reach out to Alfield, and can't see that changing unless he becomes unavailable. I have since done professional headshots with him, which came out perfect and just how I envisioned. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend hiring Alfield for any wedding photography or ANY photo needs for that matter. I couldn't be happier with all the work he has done for us. We are lifelong customers.

Hi, I'm Morgan! I'm so glad you are here! With a camera in my hand, I'm constantly looking to chase dreamy + golden light, capture the "in-between" moments (not just the posed), create a space where you feel comfortable and empowered in front of my lens, and ultimately build meaningful & lasting relationships with each and every one of you.

Morgan is the absolute best. She photographed our wedding recently and the entire experience was an absolute dream. Our engagement shoot was fun and upbeat and she helped us come out of our shell. On our wedding day, Morgan made sure we were happy and comfortable all day long. She was there for US. She not only photographed our wedding in the most beautiful way, but she fixed my veil, helped with my dress, kept us on time, and talked to my other vendors for me. Morgan is professional, artistic, kind, funny, and encouraging. I will recommend Morgan and her team over and over again. Thank you for EVERYTHING, Morgan. You are amazing inside and out!

Hi, I'm Avery! I am West Michigan born and raised, with a bit of a roaming side. You can find me traveling the great outdoors, reading a good book or sunset watching at the lake. I thrive on God’s great love and creation. Farming runs deep through my family roots, so I guess you could call me a farm girl. I’m a homebody at heart, with a passion to adventure. I fell in love with photography when I picked up my mom’s old camera in middle school. I'd capture everything from blades of grass to the cattle on my farm. 5 years later, using my cattle as models has turned into photographing weddings and capturing everything from portraits to families.

Hello! I'm Cassi. I'm a photographer and videographer based in West Michigan and available for travel. I specialize in weddings, elopements and engagements. I just love, love! I believe every wedding is unique and has a story to tell. I would love to hear about you and your vision.

Cassi responds quickly, puts a ton of energy into understanding exactly what her clients vision is, and she completely captures the magic for them. Cassi was the photographer for my destination wedding in Mexico and she went above and beyond. She took time with my husband and myself making sure we were both comfortable and we were both a priority. She had to go back and forth several times in hot, humid, Mexico heat with her equipment and NEVER missed a beat. She stayed excited and encouraging the whole time. Cassi is such a professional. She has since taken my maternity photos and our family photos. She is amazing and will be with us for life. I would recommend her work to anyone and everyone. She truly makes magic and makes her clients feel so special.

After the guests leave and the twinkly lights come down, your wedding photos are the biggest way you'll remember your day. My goal is to create an album that transports you back to your wedding every time you look at the photos. forget about posing and feeling stiff in front of the camera. Imagine going on a walk with an old friend, who just happens to have a camera with them. My process is free and flowy, and my only goal is to capture your true self.

I will be booking her for any photos opportunities I have going forward! She took my engagement and wedding photos this past year and I have loved them all! I have gotten so many compliments on all the photos and how they turned out! My wedding day was so grey and raining but looking at my photos you'd never know! She was so personable and friendly and easy to work with. I can't rave enough!

Wow, where to begin! Arie did a phenomenal job as our wedding photographer! We found Arie through the business Once Like A Spark, and with scheduling her short notice (2 weeks before the wedding), she did an amazing job capturing our vision and style. We honestly love each photo she took and had a really difficult time choosing 60 out of 500 for our album! Arie communicated really well before and throughout the wedding day, was on time to capture getting ready photos, and was attentive throughout the whole night. We admired how she took creative liberty and made sure to capture all the key moments as well as the small, sweet moments too. Even during dinner time, Arie made sure we got photos with each guest, which we greatly appreciated. While we only spent one day together, Arie seems like such a great person with a passion for capturing wedding days with love, care, and a dash of humor. Definitely book Arie for your next event, you won't regret it!

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!

I feel like I've known her forever! I recommend her to everyone!
