  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Houghton Lake, MI

I initially dipped my toes into the world of photography in the early 2000s, focusing on sports events and capturing cherished moments from my kids' school activities. Life and the priorities of raising a family briefly pressed pause on my journey. Rekindling my passion in recent years, I have discovered a profound love for capturing the unexpected. Through my lens, I honor the memory of my youngest son, who, despite his inner struggles, taught me strength and love.

Drea seriously made our day so special. She was so kind, easy going, and helpful! She went above and beyond on our elopement day. We are so thankful and feel like we gained a life long friend!

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.

Lover of all things photography. I have been a photographer for over 10 years and love what we do. I have an amazing team that helps me out. My husband also second shoots with me. I like to say you get two professionals for the price of one. I try to offer quality at a reasonable cost. I know photography can be daunting for some people and my goal is always to put people at ease.

Best decision we could have made. Communication was wonderful from the start and the photos are amazing. I felt Hdi has a gift of photography and what will look great. From the little details they were on it. She made me feel like family. Mostly, her images are what we have left of our day and I’m so glad we went with Timeless Imagery. Don’t cut your hours short - so you don’t feel rushed. Best advice I could give.

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer.

By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head.

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!

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.

On the big day, Grace brought an incredible energy - she made taking photos fun and kept things moving smoothly. The quality of Grace's work is simply stunning. She delivered way more high-quality, artistic photos than we expected, capturing all the special moments of our wedding day and telling the story beautifully. Grace also created a wonderful mix of posed portraits and candid shots that we will treasure forever. We felt like Grace intuitively understood what we wanted and needed on our wedding day. From our first couples photos years ago when we started dating, through our engagement session, and finally our wedding day, we have loved working with Grace.

Featured on Today show and Wedding Day Magazine. I believe everyone deserves to have life's biggest moments captured on camera. But photos turn into heirlooms when the moments are documented in a way that feels absolutely authentically you. No forced emotions, no fake smiles, and certainly no awkward prom-pic poses. Whether you’re dressed to the nines on the day of your wedding or, the dirty white dress that spent more time on the dance floor than the altar let’s capture the authentic you and have a damn good time doing it.

Mary was absolutely marvelous, start to finish. After I reached out she got back to me in less than 24 hours, and was so easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our wedding. We had a mixed wedding with traditional elements and a modern day twist. Mary went out of her way to learn about our culture so that she'd be able to capture all of the special moments. The day of the wedding she was our biggest cheerleader, made us feel so comfortable, and herded people in the right direction. Mary is so passionate about what she does, and her love for story telling bleeds over into everything she does. We're looking forward to receiving our pictures back soon, but from the sneak peak we got, her work is just magical. Highly recommend reaching out to Mary for your special day!

I am so grateful for two birds one stone co for making my wedding day perfect! Not only does Rachel take amazing photos, but she makes you feel so comfortable while taking them. I am not one to enjoy being photographed (plus being super nervous on my wedding day) but she made everything feel so natural and was able to capture genuine happiness! She was so fast getting our photos back to us and we could not be happier with them! The best part of two birds one stone is they are a photographer & DJ combo! All of our wedding guests loved our DJ because he knew just what to put on next! We partied all night long with his amazing playlists! 10/10 would recommend and will definitely use them for future photography & DJ needs!!

I'm here to help keep the family in check during your family pictures and I'll keep you dancing on the dance floor all night long.

Becca was easy to communicate with, especially since we were in different states! She was flexible with our timeline and offered a lot of recommendations in regards to clothing and makeup. During the photoshoot, she had great insight on where would be a great backdrop and wasn’t afraid to let me know when my smile looked fake! We are so in love with our photos and the ease of working with Becca…I would recommend her for absolutely anything you need photographed!

When you invest in my wedding photography, you're investing not only in an experienced photographer with a great eye, but in a one of a kind creative direction and compositional instincts that takes years to hone. My work is focussed on creating timeless yet modern images, with a strong editorial slant while viewing everything through a romantic lens. I am focussed on gorgeous lighting, poses that are natural and flattering and the luxury that embodies your magical day.

Awarded Best of Zola
My favourite part of the Astrid Cordier Bridal Experience was how comfortable she made us feel. My husband is not a photo type of guy, and even he felt at ease when Astrid stepped behind the camera. Not only is the end result something out of a fairytale, but the jokes and giggles between shots come as a welcome distraction from the wedding nerves. You don't feel posed, it feels natural and you feel like you can show your own personality and your relationship. No forced smiles or kisses. I could not recommend Astrid enough!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kiersten for my wedding, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment we met, her professionalism and passion for photography were evident. She took the time to understand our vision and was super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. On the big day, Kiersten was a true pro—capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. She managed to blend into the background while still getting all the key shots we wanted. The candid shots really stood out. The final photos blew us away. The quality and creativity were top-notch, and we received countless compliments from our friends and family. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who delivers stunning results and makes the process enjoyable, Kiersten is your person. You won’t regret it!

Hey it's me Alexis! I am a Traverse City based wedding photographer! I have had the honor of photographing beautiful weddings all around Michigan the past 4 years. 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.
