Kristin Ebel Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Houghton Lake, MI

Capturing and documenting the fleeting nature & intricate details of your life and love—woven together with intention + grace into a nostalgic photo collection. I strive to tell your story and preserve your legacy with wholesome imagery you will lovingly cherish and share with future generations.

My husband and I decided to have a very intimate wedding on Mackinac Island with just immediate family. We had about 6 weeks in total of planning and my ability to find a photographer on the island was not fruitful. I actually found Kristin on a Facebook page for elopements and emailed for time to call. We had a FaceTime call within a couple days and at that time I had 2 locations we were looking into. Kristin was very understanding given that a location had not fully been secured but once we decided on the day and place (Wings of Mackinac Butterfly House) she was able to help us bring our wedding day and photo ideas into life m. She took both digital and film photos that were stunning and were just the icing on the proverbial cake (we actually got ice cream cones as our wedding dessert)! Kristin has always held fantastic communication leading up to our special day and has always gone the extra mile to assist in anything we needed. Since our wedding, she has also taken beautiful newborn and family photos for us and we cannot be happier with the outcomes! We treasure her work and friendship and we look forward to more captured memories with Kristin!

Oury Memories

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Houghton Lake, MI

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!

Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!

  • Serves Houghton Lake, MI

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.

From the moment we reached out to Birchfields, their communication was quick, thorough, and sincere. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera resulted in exceptional photographs that captured every special moment of our wedding day.

Thank you so much for being here! We're Beth & John, the husband and wife team behind Beth Joy Photography! Together, we have fallen in love with the art of photography, and work side-by-side as best friends, meeting amazing people, and telling the beautiful, joyous love stories of so many incredible couples. We are college sweethearts, married since 2014. In our free time, you can usually find us walking hand-in-hand on the beach or at the nearest theme park, spending time with family and friends, or traveling the world. We can't wait to hear from you, learn your love story, and create photo magic together!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want absolutely stunning wedding photos and to work with two of the nicest people on earth, then look no further than Beth Joy Photography. Working with Bethany and John was such a delight from the very moment we had our initial call. We were lucky enough to have our engagement photos taken by Bethany and John and we had such a fun day in Downtown St. Pete. They made us feel so incredibly comfortable and as if we weren't even having our picture taken. Our engagement pictures were stunning and we were so excited to have them photograph our wedding, as well. Throughout our engagement, Bethany kept in touch and made sure we were up to speed with everything. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process. As the wedding day approached, Bethany worked with our wedding planner to finalize the timeline details and ensured that she had a list of all of our requested shots and family photo combinations. When wedding day arrived, my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing! We were so fortunate to have Bethany, John, and Amy (Bethany's sister) photograph our day. The three of them are truly the most genuine, fun, and caring people you will meet and they were such a joy to work with. Not only that, but they captured the most amazing photographs and we are still FLOORED at how beautiful the pictures are. We have yet to create a photo album because we just may have to include every photo since they are all THAT good. Bethany, John, and Amy truly have an eye for capturing the perfect lighting and colors (our sunset photos were to die for). They made us feel at ease during our couples portraits and managed to sneak some amazing candid shots. We cannot thank Beth Joy Photography enough for the most amazing gift of our beautiful wedding photos. We will treasure them forever!

Alyssa Marie Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Houghton Lake, MI

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an amazing experience working with Alyssa Marie Photography for our wedding! Alyssa and her husband were an efficient, friendly, and reliable team who captured all the special moments from our big day. Their communication style made planning easy, and they worked seamlessly in the background on our wedding day to get fantastic shots without ever being intrusive. The quality of Alyssa's work is excellent - the photos are timeless, classic, and thorough in documenting our wedding from start to finish. We absolutely loved having Alyssa there and can't recommend her highly enough! Her photography style results in gorgeous, meaningful images that we will treasure forever. We're so grateful we chose Alyssa Marie Photography to document our special day.

I aim to professionally document the wonders of your celebration in a way that feels easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for you. My creative background provides a unique aspect to my photography. It combines high-quality and top-of-the-range equipment with an individual perspective.

When you are hiring Veera, you are not getting yourself a photographer, you are roping in a magician, and the master of capturing emotion. Veera covered my wedding that spanned 3 days, and was filled with events, music, dance, color and laughter. I have never met someone as professional, fun, kind, accommodating and talented as him. He was the best vendor I worked with through the wedding planning. He knows exactly what to do, the shots to take and angles to capture. His skill and talent will immortalize many an occasion, and with guarantee, compel you to relive the joyous event. The hues in his pictures are the most vibrant combination and contrasts, and you will soon learn that he’s elusive to normal surfers of wedding websites on the Internet, and rightfully so, for he is your surprise find. Should you ever have the good fortune of landing his services, you will look at the outcome and realize that he has put his time and soul into it. I do not wax eloquent about people for any reason other than the fact that they simply deserve it and he is one of the very few people I’ve ever written this for. I can count on my fingertips the people that I’ve left reviews. Veera, bless your heart, you’re a great guy, with the gift of photography from God, but you enhance it with your good nature, absolute professionalism, sense of timing and the oodles of creativity you possess. I do not wish to have any other photographer for any milestone of my life will follow this. Hire him without the slightest doubt and he will make your moments look like they’re straight from a magazine, without all the fuss and with everything that’s real and tugs at your heart.

I'm Erin. I'm a photographer, traveler, and wide-eyed wonderer. I split my time between the Midwest and my bungalow near the beach in Oceanside, CA. My favorite pastimes include exploring Disneyland, watching Schitts Creek & Ted Lasso, and cuddling my dog. I have a loud laugh. I love cabernet franc, chocolate chip cookies, and I'm on a constant search for the best tacos in the world.

Erin was just so easy to work with from the first point of communication on email prior to the wedding to tidying up before to during the wedding and after. It's a full service experience and she is just easy-going and great at capturing the moments! I even saw her dancing and enjoying herself during the Money Dance- so fun! Highly Recommend

Lynzee Harrison Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Houghton Lake, MI

I believe love and light are two of the closest things we have to real magic. We're so fortunate that photography utilizes both. Art, storytelling, and connection have stood the test of time throughout human history. We were designed to create, entertain, and love. I approach each wedding day like it's the most important love story that will ever be told. Because to you, it is. I approach most of the day with a photojournalistic approach. Then during portraits I'm skilled at both posing you beautifully enough to be an editorial piece and prompting you in ways to bring out cinematic romance.

Lynzee is the absolute BEST of the best! We are a lesbian couple who did an elopement instead of a traditional wedding, and Lynzee absolutely NAILED it! She delivered engagement and elopement photos that absolutely shattered our expectations in the very best ways. She is supportive and has a wonderful artistic vision and is not afraid to incorporate whatever your vision was. She knew how to make both of us feel so beautiful while capturing our love and showing us what everyone else gets to see. The photos were gorgeous, but also still us. She managed to capture gorgeous, authentic moments, time and time again. She was professional, organized, SO fast at getting photos back to us, and gave us so many perfect shots that we can't stop looking at. She was the perfect elopement photographer; I cannot recommend her enough. Our wedding day was just the two of us with Lynzee, and she was the perfect companion for the day and was able to provide guidance whenever we wanted or needed it, but she also let us take the lead. Also, when posting our engagement photos, someone made a homophobic comment, and she immediately defended us to the commenter, deleted the comment, and posted a reminder of her support of the LGBTQ+ community. Lynzee is an absolute gem, and we will never take our photography business anywhere else again!

Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

So easy to work with and professional! My labor went very quickly so photos were in the immediate postpartum. I love how each detail was captured so intimately to tell the story, so I can look back on those moments. She respected the environment and helped in any way to make sure I felt cared for-above and beyond being a photographer. We also did some newborn/family photos a few days later and she was very patient with my full of energy toddler, all while capturing the sweet details of our newborn. All of the photos are beautiful!! When I asked for a few edits to the gallery it was done and updated for me quickly.

Allow me to be a part of your journey, transforming cherished moments into timeless treasures. Let's create your visual love story together! 📸💕

We hired Jenna for our wedding 6/22/24 and from the moment we met her at our engagement shoot we loved her. We had never had professional photos taken before and we’re both camera shy, especially my husband, but Jenna got both of us to open right up and she got amazing shots at both the engagement shoot and our wedding! She is very quick with turnaround on sneak peeks and got all of our photos so far back to us sooner than she stated. She will literally be your best friend by the end of your wedding night. She’s so helpful and goes above and beyond what you would expect from a wedding photographer. My only qualm, and it truly isn’t that big a deal to me but I know some brides are picky, is that she wore pretty casual clothing on the day of the wedding. Not a big deal to me, but I also didn’t ask her to wear anything specific or even ask what she would be wearing for the event anyway. She’s so friendly though that I’m sure if you asked her to wear something specific (I.e. all black) she would. Definitely book her. She’s amazing.

My love for photography started when I was young, and flourished as I continued to educate myself in the art and technicalities of photography while attending the College for Creative studies where I received my BFA in Photography in 2016.

Chrissy is BEYOND AMAZING to work with - her photos are dreamy, whimsical, magical and make your heart so happy to look at! She was our photographer for our engagement photos, a boudoir shoot, and our wedding photos. Not only is she talented, but she is intelligent, creative, and flexible. Every photo-related snafu we had (including an engagement photo session where we forgot one of our outfits), Chrissy had a solution and handled it with grace. Chrissy is customer-service oriented, communicates clearly and effectively, and is kind and comforting as most of us are not used to having professional photos taken!

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

I'm Meghan Ann Imagery! I'm an artist, storyteller, and lover of love. It's fitting I ended up as a wedding photographer, right? I'm based in Connecticut but wishing for the dream inquiries that will send me to Alaska, Colorado, or some place new.

Meghan was such a pleasure to work with and we kept saying over and over again throughout the wedding process, “We are so how grateful we booked her!” Literally you ask any of our family and friends what was the phrase we said the most throughout our wedding process was, “We absolutely love our photographer!” She made us feel relaxed throughout the entire process and truly helped us get not just the photos that we desired but BEYOND that. She is an absolute artist at finding the perfect shot and her positive attitude helps you feel at peace while you’re planning all the details of your wedding day. I can not recommend Meghan and her team enough. Absolute professionals!

I strongly believe everyone deserves a wedding photographer who shows up, makes an effort beyond the contractual agreement, and delivers high quality images that are timeless - not trendy. You deserve photos that are meaningful, and photos that let you relive those moments. My only promise is to deliver my best work, communicate well, and serve YOU the best way I am able.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Phern for our June 2021 wedding. She also took our engagement photos. They are the best photos we have ever received from a photographer! She knows exactly how to pose people and for candid photos. She doesn't have to look at other pictures to know where to put you or trying to decide. She has a wide knowledge of what to do. She is so fun to work with too! We loved her personality and was down to earth, which was great for us on what can be such a hectic day. She even helped bustle my train with 5 bustle points many times throughout the day. She was absolutely incredible to work with and we plan on working with her again. Hire her! You will not regret it!

  • Serves Houghton Lake, MI for additional fees

Fueled by equal parts Coca-Cola and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations over coffee. And, in the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

Cat was hands down the best decision I made regarding my wedding! She is organized, knowledgeable, kind, and insanely talented. She put myself and my husband at ease on the biggest day of our lives. She jumped in to help when needed and made sure the day ran smoothly. Her communication was exceptional from start to finish. She captured our day so beautifully! We are so thankful that we had Cat capture our special day!
